27 Best Wine Bars near Cleveland Heights

“Great environment. Good food. Amazing service“

“The Wine Spot is a fantastic choice for carefully curated craft beer and wine. The excellent service is an obvious extension of Heights-owned family expectation for doing things right. The Wine Spot is more than a wine store or bar: It's a Cleveland Heights gathering place.“

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.“

“Highly recommended…They seem to have so much of what I enjoy eating. And portion sizes are not small plates but a satisfying meal at a reasonable price. An incredibly rare value these days. Excellent, cocktail bar style service. Exquisite, house made desserts“

“Attended an event at Market Avenue Wine Bar.
The space was amazing - the back room was so nicely Victorian decorated (although the "little vignettes" of seating did make it a little difficult to mingle).
Once we received one drink ticket and we proceeded to the front room to the bar to select our wine - we had 4 different wines to choose from. I asked the bar tender to tell us about the 4 wines so that I could make an informed decision, and he really had no clue. He told us 3 were white, 1 red, 1 was French and the other from Spain. He didn't know anything about the sweetness or bouquet of the wine. So I just picked one - it was pretty good!
One of the owners came to the event space and told us that the bar has over 100 different wines, some served by the glass, some by the bottle only. They also have some beer and other alcohol in case you are not into wine!
Overall it was a good event and I had fun!“

“Came in just to kill sometime and was greeted with a new spot I’ll be visiting regularly! The girl that helped me was awesome! Sami was great with helping me order, she gave awesome recommendations! I got a mimosa flight and flatbread, it was the perfect recommendation! Overall, service was 10/10, food and drinks were 10/10, and the vibe was 10/10!“

“nice atmosphere plenty room“

“Very nice visit. Interesting, diverse wine list with a range of prices and varieties. Also a very interesting, fairly short menu of small plates - not things you see everywhere. Service was quite nice, and overall, the ambiance and atmosphere were very nice as well. We went on Sunday night, and it wasn't particularly busy, which was fine for us.“

“We came on a Friday night with a group of 9. Michael the owner put together a few tables for us and was such a gracious host! We had a great time listening to music, drinking great wine, eating cheese boards! We will def come back!“

“Cozy casual but elegant restaurant with outstanding food and service. And to top it off—mama Cantena herself takes time to talk with all the customers.“

“We had drinks and dinner before the Shane Gillis concert on April 11th 2025!! Food and service was amazing!! Great vibes right before a show!! We will be back again soon!“

“First time! Excited! Heard nothing but compliments. The restaurant had many open seats. We enter and a person of upper management looked up and punched in something and then directed the server. The server, under direction took us to the worst place in the restaurant. My prayer was that it wasn’t because we were a family of color. I tried hard to disregard the thought as we were directed to sit outside the kitchen door. :—/. I was getting away from the kitchen. That was the last place I wanted to celebrate our special occasion. I asked for a different place in the restaurant that was housing one other visible couple. She was very happy to oblige us. When a restaurant is full, I can understand…. But this was far from the case. The server was 5STAR ! Food 5STAR ! I will definitely try it again with hopes that it was a mistake on the management part. My hopes…“

“This place was awesome. Service, food and ambiance just what you’d expect in Little Italy. I had fusilla (spellcheck) puntenesca excellent!! We will be back.“

“Good service lite food and cocktails“

“I went here with my family again as I was visiting from out of town. As usual, the food, beer and atmosphere was awesome. Our server, Maurice, was very good and he made us laugh. Thanks, Maurice!“

“Sad that I hadn’t ventured here sooner. The atmosphere was calm and exciting at the same time. The guac was impressive, and the chips were perfect…and then the food came.

I was not at all expecting to have a steak this good. I can normally pick apart a steak but literally nothing on the plate was anything short of perfect. The potatoes were next level.

What an amazing meal.“

“The Fairmount is a perfect mix of all you could want! Amazing, delicious food, beautiful atmosphere on the large, enclosed green terrace and professional , friendly staff. I have never had a negative experience and I’m there often!“

“Our favorite family restaurant. The best in little Italy, hands down. we've been coming here for decades and it never disappoints. Angelo & his staff are top notch.“

“The best outdoor dining area in area. Atmosphere is number one food is number one people are number one. The experience here is just fantastic.“

“Unique, fresh, and delicious! We will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“Our server was excellent. I would recommend increasing the lighting at the tables, to read the menu we had to use our phone . The good was good but prices are a bit much .“

“This restaurant is very special. The food is excellent, beautifully prepared, and the wine compliments the meals so well. Juan our waiter was great excellent service! Great food, great background music and great wine.“

“Great food, Salmon, Striped Bass, and Creme Brulee. Bold beverages, Black Diamond and the Margaritas are delish! Service.was very hospitable! Thanks Ms. Charlie for the excellent service for our birthday celebration. You did a great job getting orders for 15 people. The Resturant had a private room with came in very handy.. I suggest that management hire and try to keep good staffing, so the restaurant can't continue to thrive, function at a high level and keep great people that want to working and help you stay successful !“
