A lovely wine bar with a wonderful selection of orange wine! I stopped by again on my birthday a few weeks ago, and was warmly welcomed by the owner Esteban. I think Brunello focuses more on the wine than the bar. In other words, it’s a great place to try out and get educated on new wine, but it’s less “vibe-y” as a bar. I wonder if softer chairs/a couch would help. Overall highly recommend!!

We were BIG fans of the original Brunello and were quite sad to see it go. This was our first visit since they re-opened in their new space and, while the space/atmosphere isn't as funky and eclectic as the original space, it's got a pretty good vibe.Pretty sure we were waited on by the owner, who was sooo nice and immensely helpful in assisting us in choosing a bottle of wine to share. He listened to what we like, answered some of our questions, and steered us to an absolutely wonderful bottle.We will be back for sure!

We have already been back twice within a week! We loved the wine selection and that all the wines are natural and unique. Esteban was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful in not only selecting wine but giving us great bar and restaurant recommendations. This is going to be our go to spot :)

Brunello Wine Bar is a cool spot. The staff members are knowledgeable and the selection is unique. My husband and I tried a few different pours and enjoyed them all. It is a smaller spot but luckily it was not busy when we visited. If you are in Downtown Durham then check it out.

This is a cozy corner spot with a view of CCB Plaza. They have a great wine selection and few snacks from around the world.

A really nice wine bar in downtown Durham to grab a drink before or after a show. The seating can be a little tight if the bar is packed, which it was when we went a couple of Saturdays ago. The bartender gave some really good recommendations regarding wine selections. You can order either by the glass or bottle. Nice spot, check it out.
This has quickly become our favorite spot for a date night drink. Brunello Wine Bar is cute and cozy, in the center of Downtown Durham. The space is quaint and not pretentious. The best part is the service, Esteban and Sergio are incredibly knowledgeable and obviously passionate about wine. They will guide you to the perfect glass based on your taste without making you feel overwhelmed or d**** If you are planning to try more than one, they will even recommend coursing for your glasses. Every visit feels like a wine tasting, we love it!

We had good memories of "Bar Brunello" on Main Street before they closed, and were happy to see them open in this location where Jeddah's Tea was. We've been here twice recently, once on a lazy Sunday afternoon and once on a weekday night over the holidays. Both times, we had interesting wines (orange, purple, unfiltered rose, etc.) and nice conversations with the staff. Maggie and Sergio were friendly and conversational, and knowledgeable about their wine offerings. A few parties came and went during our visits, and it looks like some patrons bought bottles as well. There is another wine bar downtown with a more funky, energetic vibe but on these two occasions, we enjoyed the laid back, living-room vibe of Brunello Wine Bar. Yes, we will be back.
