16 Best Wine Bars near Rocky River

“I’m well aware that I can be hypercritical. When dining in the greater Lexington area, I’m often referred to as “a prick” by family and friends. But I’m not in Kansas anymore. As a connoisseur of the finer things, I immediately shut down the suggestion of ”Wine Bar” as the Michelin Man failed to namedrop this Rocky River Staple. But then I ate there and realized the Michelin Man should get out more !! Where do I begin? The sights, the smells—or perhaps I start with my wonderful server, “Santa” Hanna? To transform wine into grapes may be divine, but to have the dinner I just consumed? Redemption itself. I think my family may have a new nickname for me fairly soon…“

“I've had the pleasure of visiting Gather FOOD & DRINK twice, and each experience has been fantastic! The staff is incredibly welcoming, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is perfect for relaxing. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

“I would give this place 5 stars if I could! We went for my birthday dinner and it was a great experience. They have a whole vegan menu and large portion sizes! Our waitress was wonderful too. We got the French Onion soup (which I’d literally never had before bc I’ve never found a place that had a vegan one), the blackened tofu Tartine, the Brussel sprouts, the vegan steak entree and a pb, chocolate, caramel dessert! Also, we ordered a side of the wild mushrooms and they were to die for! Everything was delicious and we had leftovers to take home too. Can’t wait to come back the next time we’re in town!“

“My friend and I went there last night for my birthday. The food was amazing!! Everything we ordered was just delicious. Meals were paced out perfectly in between. All the plates were a good portion for the shareable experience. We ordered first was the tuna crostini and the lamb hummus. Both by far amazing! The hummus was the best hummus I have ever had!! (Side note. The chef came over and told us that there is this wrap on HH during the week, we will def be back for it!) Second was the zucchini plate on top of a ricotta puree. Amazing! Not sure how he cooked it, but it was crisp and delightful! Then we had this fried Idaho potato! 🥔 literally the biggest potato I have ever seen. Topped with a feta, chives and creme fraise, sided with a homemade sriracha. Just yum!!! Then finally, aged and cooked to perfection, a hangar steak. 🥩 sliced for sharing with a salad on the side. It was amazing! The chef did a great job on presentations, food, and that steak is to die for! Also didn’t mention on yummy the cocktail menu is!!! 5/5 would visit again to try more items! I might even order that hummus tonight again for takeout! 🫶🫶🫶“

“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“

“nice atmosphere plenty room“

“This place was so cute. The wine & cheese was delicious“

“Explored the creative cocktail menu and everything was excellent. Service was attentive.“

“I finished my cheese plate with gluten free crackers before I thought to jot down a review. The cellar taste was a 2016 Ridge Petit Syrah from Dry Creek Valley. It paired perfectly with my feta and fig jam combination.They now have gluten free bread. I had the avocado toast on baguette-esque bread. It was delicious.“

“It’s impossible to say how good it is there. The food is always top notch. Any item on the menu is executed with care and technical skill. The service is always fantastic. A neurologist friend took me here many years ago as a graduation celebration from nursing school. I’ve been coming back ever since, and I’ve never had a disappointment for a night or meal. It’s always our go to on big date nights for the orchestra or concerts. The food is served quickly so you can get on with your night. Great work tonight guys, the meal was exceptional. With love-“

“Everything we tried was amazing and service was prompt and wonderful. We can’t wait to come back and try some other menu items!“

“We love having our store at City Goods. It is the perfect way to open a store without doing it all alone. Our store showcases the artwork of over 38 Ohio Artists. At City Goods, there are over 20 other local businesses so it's the perfect spot for some local shopping.“

“Always excellent great local spot!!! Won’t let me add my pics… ugh“

“Amazing food and service! Highly recommended!“

“First time there, can’t wait to return. Everyone was friendly, good service, great food reasonably priced. ?“

“This bar has great potential. We went last December (2024) and absolutely LOVED the decor and atmosphere. It’s not a huge place but it’s clean and has a great vibe. The downside…overpriced and the food selections are skim. We ordered a turkey sandwich and it came with 1 slice of turkey on it. Hopefully they’ve worked out the kinks since then. Overall great place!“
