15 Best Wine Bars in Cleveland

“Kaley and Rachel are wonderful servers! They have the perfect personalities for the job. They work in an atmosphere where people are stressed, aggravated, and annoyed; their bubbly and friendly personalities helps ease the negative intense emotions of travel. I appreciate them and hope others do as well. If you come across Kaley and Rachel, please treat them with the respect and the friendliness they deserve. Remember, they do not set the prices and want to provide you with a good experience.“

“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!“

“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.“
