An absolute gem of a spot. Huge menu, well-priced, knowledgable staff and amazing ambiance.

Have been here a few times. Despite being really close to the expressway, it's fairly quiet and they've put a lot of work into creating a sleek and posh vibe inside the bar. The wine list is extensive--perhaps one of the best in the city. They offer a decent list of wines by the glass daily. I haven't been there for any of the happy hour deals or food pop-ups yet. Hopefully someday. As someone who grew up around Northern California wine country and has lived in other countries that produce world-class wines (France, Hungary), it's great to see so many types of wine in one place. However, I've found the service average at best--not particularly welcoming--which is odd in New Orleans. There is just a smidge of condescension, which doesn't bother me, but I do sense it. I guess this is why people who like wine sometimes get labeled wine snobs. The bathroom area is really cute, and I heard some pretty good minimalist type electronic music being spun by a DJ one night. It would also be great if they featured some Hungarian wine, which is very well-known in Europe (in fact, there is a natural wine phenomenon going on there currently) but very slept on outside of it.

Such a beautiful space! We had really delicious wines I have never seen before. Definitely left with a new appreciation for wine- we are both beginners when it comes to wine and the staff helped us find the perfect tastes. It seems like know-nothings and know-it-alls would be welcomed and super comfortable here!Parking: Parking was ample and easy which is so rare in Nola!

This place is hidden between someone's home and an empty field next to a highway, but I promise you will love it.

I LOVE Tell Me Bar! It's adorable and the ambiance is impeccable. I've been a few times and know very little about wine and every single person who works here is always so sweet and never makes me feel like a ding dong for not knowing anything! They are SO gracious, kind and always pour me something delicious! Huge fan.

Response to owner:I did not harass the employee before this video. As you can see from the beginning of video I waited in silence as she put out menus and arranged flowers 5 minutes after opening hours. I’m not surprised you’re doubling down instead of owning up to outrageous customer service. Clearly, you must be inept to hire such rude personnel. After this video I certainly gave this individual piece of my mind because that’s what any sane human being would do in response to being treated to poorly. However, I chose to leave on my own accord. So strange that an owner would defend an employee opening their business 6 minutes after opening hours and then clearly being rude as flip to a stranger/customer.Original post: I came 15 minutes early and waited outside in the rain. No big deal I understand I came early so my husband and I patiently waited. 4:00 comes around and I smile and wave through the glass when the bartender rudely yells through the glass one minute and waves her finger to wait. She counts the cash register, organizes her lunch and cocktail, and then places menus down and arranges a flower vase before opening the door six minutes later. I’m so glad I was filming because very seldomly do you catch someone being this rude. I live in the neighborhood and it’s safe to say I’ll never be back.

My favorite spot in Nola for a glass of wine! The decor and atmosphere is impeccable! 10/10. Amazing service and all of the food pop-ups I have experienced at this bar have been delicious and incredible! Great djs, music and entertainment. Could not say enough about how much I enjoy this wine bar!
My favorite spot in New Orleans, here at least once a week. They have a wine list for wine nerds but won't ever make you feel like an outsider if you're not a wine person. They really know wine, highly recommend talking to your bartender about wine to learn more. A true gem of a place where you can spend hours sitting and connecting. Always try the by-the-glass specials! And the cheese/conservas plates! And food pop ups! I also really appreciate the inclusive, safe environment they've cultivated.Parking: Decent sized lot of free parking if you're looking to drive here yourself.

This spot is owned by a woman sommelier so the wine list is extensive.They don't serve food but allow pop up restaurants. The night I went they had a sushi pop up. I'm not a fan of sushi but their tuna sushi were perfectly

Ok I'm obsessed with this place. The vibes are so cozy and sexy. This place is HARD to find but once you're there, it's like finding a magical hideaway. It feels like a secret just being there. The wine is pricey by the glass but keep a look out on their social media for discount nights or deals. They've always got something new and interesting to try. I think it's worth it to branch out. The staff is SO friendly and knowledgeable. Tell them what you like and they'll be able to recommend something that is sure to wow you. This is a great place for a quiet wine date or a small but upscale girls night that still feels comfy. Love it here.
