48 Best Wine Bars near Bala Cynwyd

“I had high hopes for La Collina, but the service was slow and inattentive. We waited over 30 minutes for our drinks and the staff seemed overwhelmed. Not the experience I expected!“

“Not kidding. Our table of 4 ordered nearly everything in the menu. Each bite was delicious, balanced, nuanced, worldly, fresh, and inventive. We ordered a second dish of the carrots, and also the cukes. Dessert was outstanding. Interesting wines, including a chilled Croatian wine that paired well with every dish. Definitely returning. Soon! ❤️“

“I absolutely LOVE visiting Tria!
Tria is one of my favorite places. Their food is absolutely delicious. I really enjoy all their small plates. The service is excellent. The wait staff is always so friendly and accommodating. I love sitting outdoors.“

“Great atmosphere, fun pasta options and perfect service!“

“This is our first time to Philadelphia and we are big Stallone/Rocky fans so we were excited to try this restaurant where some of Rocky Balboa and Creed was filmed. This was one of the best dining experiences with phenomenal entrees, excellent staff, beautiful atmosphere and amazing entertainment with the wait staff breaking into operatic song!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“This place was awesome! Some of the best coffee I've had in the city, and they carry onyx branded beans which was super cool! Staff was really friendly, and chill too. The space was strangely... clinical feeling? But that's just a personal opinion thing 🤷‍♀ it was very clean and thats all that matters to me. However, it was very quiet, I felt like I shouldn't be talking with my husband even though I wanted to + did. Lots of people working on computers along the wall.“

“Well prepared and creative seafood dishes. The charred hamachi collar was exceptional as was the snapper which can be easily shared. The server was very attentive. My only complaint is the noise level is too high to carry on a conversation. It is numbing. Fortunately we were able to eat outside and it was delightful.“

“Very friendly service, very pleasant surroundings. Perfect place to stop and have a light nosh. There’s ciders are quite good, but on the dry side, which I especially appreciate. They also have excellent local wines and white snack snacks. Highly recommend recommended.“

“my fiance and I were in Philly (from Maine) and she treated me to Osteria for my birthday dinner. The service was amazing throughout the meal, I wish I got the servers name as he was really an incredibly friendly young man who clearly knew the menu very well. The atmosphere is wonderful and the interior is just lovely. In terms of the food, I had the wild boar bolognese which was a special that night, and it was AMAZING!! Really, all the food was impeccable, from the focaccia to our mains. Super pleased and the next time I’m in town, I will most definitely be coming back!!“

“Really cute charming space close to everything. Walked here from rittenhouse in a few minutes to catch a negroni on top and some amazing wine. Simple clean selection of incredible spirits especially this super rare Norden Aquavit seasonal! We shared a charcuterie board and something else I can remember but everything was excellent perfect place to start or end the night for us. I think there was an upstairs with more seating and even some two tops outside. Caught a really great sunset while we finished some wine and snacks before venturing out. I think the negroni was on tap and it was delicious.“

“Cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a speak easy. Apps were delicious…broccoli and potatoes. Pizza was excellent….thin, crispy crust with great toppings. Definitely on our list of new spots to go.“

“Truly a 10/10 experience from start to finish.

This was our first visit after hearing so many great things, and we left feeling like family. Our server, Grant, was fantastic, super attentive, incredibly helpful, and genuinely kind. The rest of the staff made us feel just as welcome. We were originally seated inside but asked if it would be possible to move outside, and they happily accommodated us without hesitation.

Since it was our first time, we had no idea what to order. We basically rallied the staff and bombarded them with questions, and everyone was more than happy to help. We ended up trusting their recommendations, and they absolutely nailed it. We ordered the sausage & fennel pizza, the mushroom white pizza, the kale Caesar, the focaccia, and the ricotta dip. Every single thing blew us away.

The pacing of the meal was perfect. Everything came out at just the right time, so the table never felt cluttered. We definitely ordered with our eyes, but we weren’t complaining because the leftovers were just as exciting to take home.

The focaccia deserves a special mention. You can tell the bread program is something they take a lot of pride in. Their dough is absolutely dialed in. As someone who loves wood-fired pizza, it’s always a treat to get a pie that’s still sturdy and not floppy,
a difficult thing to pull off when you’re cooking pizzas in under three minutes at around 800 degrees.

One of the highlights of the night was when the chef let us try a new dish he was working on; a tomato salad with caramelized breadcrumbs. It was absolutely mind-blowing and fit seamlessly with the rest of the menu. I think it’s easy for new chefs to come in wanting to make a statement or put too much of their own ego into every dish. This wasn’t that at all. It was thoughtful, humble, and incredibly well-executed. It complemented what was already a fantastic menu instead of trying to overshadow it. You can tell there’s a real sense of collaboration in the kitchen, and it’s exciting to see that kind of synergy. They already had something special, and it feels like great things are still to come.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the portion sizes were perfect for me and my date.

A huge thank you to Danny, Grant and Garrett, who were absolute sweethearts, along with the rest of the team for making our first visit so memorable. The food was outstanding, the service was exceptional, and the hospitality made all the difference.

We’ll absolutely be back.“

“We were just there to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from TJU. Impeccable service, delicious food and cocktails. Our server, Michael was amazing from start to finish! The care and concern for my Dad’s well being did not go unnoticed and was appreciated! Will definitely be in again! Thank you for a great evening!“

“I was so impressed with this place. We went for our anniversary and everything was amazing. The staff were so nice and our waitress Jacqueline was so great!! The food was incredible. I couldn't stop talking about how great the gnocci was. Will def come here again and recommend to others!“

“I have gone to meetinghouse a few times recently. I keep coming back because it’s so good! Mussels night is amazing, they taste so good and generous portion. You must get the baked pineapple for dessert. I will definitely keep coming back!“

“Love Fishtown Social! I always look forward to Mystery Wine Mondays, where you can get $10 glasses of wine and get to guess what kind of wine it is. If you win, you get the bottle! I've really come to look forward to Mondays now, which is hard for anyone to say. Their selection is great, and their entire staff is super knowledgeable and kind :) def check it out if you're a wine lover and in the area!“

“Our experience at Rabbit hole was amazing! Best part of our vaca. The soft serve margaritas are to die for💜 staff is super friendly. Food is next level! Will definitely be back and will be letting our family in Philly know about this gem.“

“Ugh I only wish I lived closer so I could go here all the time. A+ wine, delicious cheese and bread, and a specialty hot dog cooker for their baguette + hot dog that seems a little silly but is 100% worth it.

FYI the shuffleboard table is currently out of commission (RIP).“

“Friendly atmosphere . Great food and great service.“

“This was me and my fiances first time at City Winery. We were greeted by the Hostess Susan who was very informative of upcoming promotions and she even offered a tour of the establishment. The wait was not long as we were seated pretty quickly. The service was phenomenal the server Cel was welcoming and had me and my fiancé laughing and enjoying ourselves from the moment we were seated. Cel made several suggestions on food as well as drinks. During the visit we learned that Cel is a bartender as well and invited us to come back which we will. The Braised Short Rib was flavorful and was a rather large portion. My fiancé had the Branzino he loved it and was ready to order one to go. Will recommend this place to all of our friends and family. We will be back for the Vivian Green show in May.“

“Phenomenal service and a great atmosphere. Everyone was friendly (and tolerant of our louder than usual crowd). We got the family style menu which was a great bang for your buck. My only issue was the crab gnocchi had a surprising number of shell pieces. Otherwise an amazing meal and very happy to have dined here.“

“My son's rehearsal dinner was there on 11/6/2025. The food was outstanding, the service was outstanding. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend Bar Sera!!!“

“We ate outside at Parc mid-afternoon today to celebrate our 61st anniversary with our family, including our granddog. Our meal was luscious throughout, though we were too full for dessert❣️I must say, the highlight for me was the tomato tart, which was delicate but hearty, and totally scrumptious. Thanks for a wonderful meal, and as always, we look forward to our next visit.“

“Nice looking place stopped in for a HH cocktail. 3.5 stars

Higlights:
- Elegant spot
- Seemed like nice staff

Midlights:
- Small bar with only a few seats
- Drinks were just ok

Lowlights:
- One item on happy hour snack menu I was looking at they didn't have--which was odd cause looked like a daily printed menu“

“IDK how this place is in Ardmore. It's absolutely one of the best meals I had in my life.“

“Panorama was the perfect final stop for our group’s Dine Around through Old City. From the moment we arrived, their team impressed us with a beautifully set table, custom-printed menus (even reflecting last-minute adjustments made earlier that day), and warm, attentive service throughout. Their team was more than willing to work with us to coordinate the details of the visit and were truly wonderful to collaborate with. Our guests were blown away not just by the food and wine, but by the history and ambiance of the space. Learning about Panorama’s world-record wine collection added such a memorable touch to the experience. As a food tour company that’s guided hundreds of groups around Philadelphia, we can confidently say that Panorama stands out. And we’ll absolutely be back! Thank you Panorama!!“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“Great food- attentive waitstaff.“

“it was a great place to check out had a great time highly recommend going and seeing for yourself“

“5 Stars!!! Most authentic Napoletana Pizza found this side of the pond! The starter dough was brought over from Naples,IT. The oven from Italy. If you’re in Philly, you must go and taste for yourself. I lived in Naples, Italy for over 5 years…Chefs Joe & Angela nailed it again. Oh and if you haven’t tried their restaurant, Cicala, is right across the hall in the historic divine Lorraine hotel. 5 stars!!!“

“Love Solar Myth! We stopped in on a rainy Sunday evening to be surprised with the vibrant energy in the room. The bar tenders were playing Latin jazz LP’s during our visit & I was so pleased to be able to get a couple of espressos & 0% cerveza later in the evening. Ambiance was great, drinks were on point & affordable. Lovely space. Thanks!“

“Our server was a very knowledgeable and attentive! The food was excellent and came out in perfect times. The only fault I would give them is we were sitting right inside the dining room on the other side of the bar. There was a girl cursing and extremely loud. Kind of took away from the ambiance.“

“We decided to drop into this East Falls restaurant for Sunday brunch, and we're so glad we did. My husband ordered the heuves chorizo and I ordered the Cresta Omelet. Both were delicious!! My husband also asked for poblano pepper in his, and they accommodated his request. The restaurant is warm and inviting with exposed brick. Prices are very reasonable and the servings were generous. Management was super welcoming, and our server, Anna, was awesome. We will definitely be back!!“

“I had a 2-hour outdoor happy hour at Jet Wine Bar under the pergola and it was a great time! About 40 people joined. It was easy to set-up, have a custom menu for the people who joined, and have individuals be on their own tabs while offering pitchers for the group. I highly recommend working with Jet Wine Bar for your next event!“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“My new favorite restaurant! I had a small birthday dinner and the service, food & atmosphere was incredible. Had some incredibly fresh oysters, cheese, watermelon salad and an incredible chocolate cake with caramel drizzle. The service was kind without being too much. I definitely recommend for a special event. I’ll be back!“

Perfect lighting. Delicious menu. Warm staff. Candlelit. Simply lovely and now one of my favorite places in Philadelphia to eat and enjoy a drink.“

“We stopped by Grace Tavern for lunch today.
Delicious and relaxing. Fun small menu. I loved the BLT salad assembled with homemade dressing and high notes of fresh dill. The bacon perfectly crispy. We loved the blackened green beans! Burgers were also perfect.
Thank you.“
