Such a quiet and friendly bar compared to others in the area. Much more laid back and good for all adult ages. They host great events and always have fantastic dinners on Sundays! Tom is incredibly knowledgeable about wine and makes everyone feel welcome. There is always local art for sale, the prices on wine and charcuterie are very low (and especially on the Sunday dinners), and the wine club membership is a steal on top of the prices.

They have very fair prices for both food and wine, and if you dive into the specials, you will get to experience some amazing cheese and wine, as well as some very well-balanced wine to go with them.
For my personal review, keep in mind, we visited during Corn Fest, when they were dealing with a lot of people coming in for the $5 sangria and 5 wine tasting for $5. We came in, and were greeted kindly, and sat at the bar, for the 5 wine tasting for $5. There was a gentleman who acted as our server, but I suspect to be the owner, who was extremely knowledgeable about each wine he was serving. The 1st wine he served, a Portuguese unripened white wine, was absolutely delightful, the 2nd, which was another white, was quite tannic, and may be very nice with the cheese and meat, but didn't connect. A 3rd, which was a delightful Pinot Noir, from a warm climate, but was pleasant, and then a 4th, which was a Cabernet. The 4th and 5th options were made by a different server. It might have been my fault, acting dismissive of his explanation of the 3rd wine, but I felt he took it very personally. I would absolutely advice anyone coming to DeKalb for a nice dinner, which won't make them feel bloated, to go to this restaurant.

This unique place is worth a visit! Tom has created a special vibe- there are charcuterie boards with crafted liquors and wines in a wonderful conversation inspiring locale. Monday night is Trivia night and it’s great fun- bring friends for a group effort or go alone and join a group for the win! You get Steve from Byers Brewery as a bonus! He is always creating and modifying the menu and wine choices- join the wine club for more fun- show up on Sunday for Tom’s dinner and he’s the chef-Wednesday noon for weekly delivery of wine and help him choose the weekly specials! Never a dull moment and he is so open to ideas and suggestions and let’s talk about great music that is always on! This is a special place that embodies small town friendliness with a curated flair. What are you waiting for???

Amazing find in downtown DeKalb! Wine selection (and store!!) unparalleled outside (and sometimes inside) major cities. Owner was super nice and very knowledgeable about wine from all corners of the world. Very chill and casual - had a relaxing, lovely evening. Cheers!

I’m not usually one to post reviews, but Class VI is the best! Every time we go in there we get to explore and learn about new delicious wines and pair them with the fantastic charcuterie boards. The staff are very welcoming of everyone and are great with helping you choose new wines! I’d recommend joining the wine club as well if you are even a casual wine drinker because it’s a lot of fun!

You only find special wines here, but the prices are very reasonable. The charcuterie is extremely well thought out with combinations that create new flavors. The people are the best!

My schedule doesn't allow me to get in to eat very often; a shame 'cause food (and service) is fantastic! But, I became a Class VI wine club member last December--two great wines a month, and an exceptional value with the club members' discount. I've joined many wine clubs over the decades, and this is by far the best wines for the best value.
Tom, the "wine whisperer" who runs things, is exceptional in guiding customers to great wines. The downside, of course, is that once tasting them, I go back for more. Well, maybe that's the upside.
Class VI is a great place to spend some leisurely time, but I find that the wine club alone is a DeKalb treasure!

Fantastic location in DeKalb, Tom and his family are amazing. What started as a quiet hole in the wall has blossomed to a bustling hot spot for great wine and delicious charcuterie. Very accepting atmosphere - I am part of the LGBTQ community and I have never felt a smidge of judgment while here. Highly recommend coming in and supporting this local business!
A relaxing atmosphere. Good wine and very good cocktails and great service. We really enjoyed getting to relax and catch up with friends.

This is such a cute, family operated, place to hang out. Whether it’s with friends or you go for a date night, it’s a great place to have wine, relax, and have fun. The Veteran owner who tended the bar was very knowledgeable of the drinks he was making, including the history behind it. The food and drinks are very budget friendly and are of great quality. We will be back for sure!
