49 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!“

“I really enjoyed my time here! Cozy wine bar. I got the Hugo spritz, which was really good. I also got the goat cheese pesto bruschetta and the pistachio honey lavender toast and really enjoyed them. The flourless chocolate torte was so good. Service was great.“

“My first French cuisine experience did not disappoint. My son and I enjoyed a lovely meal and cocktails orchestrated by the best staff - Chef Clay, Beau (our server), and Alex(Bartender). From the first course I knew this was going to be one of, if not the best, dining experiences thus far in my lifetime. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to enjoy this fine dining establishment. You will not be disappointed.“

“Excellent coffee. Friendly helpful staff, and I say that not as a throw-away easy compliment. Out of a total of three visits I can think of the barista being unexpectedly kind each time.

On one occasion my partner rushed in to let our toddler use the toilet then offered to buy something but was met with reassurances there was no need. He gave her a free coffee.

Decor and vibes not my vibe. This is why I drink my coffee at home.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.“

“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).“

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Really lovely spot with good food and drinks. We loved the sourdough bread with anchovies and tomato butter, oysters with Alabama white sauce, strachiatella and Caesar salad. Everything had great flavors and textures. The smoked fish tartine and halibut were a bit disappointing, we found them dry and underseasoned. We finished our meal with the delicious frozen key lime pie!“

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

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

“I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary and we had a great experience. The ambience was nice, the staff was friendly, our waitress was attentive and the food was good. The manager Timothy Fisher stopped by our table twice to check on us and as we were on our way out, he ran up the stairs to hand us my girlfriend's purse which was left at our table. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you Tim, Maryn and team for all that you do!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We came right before brunch ended on a Sunday and our server was incredibly kind, inviting, and met all of our expectations. On top of that, we loved everything we ordered. We’re not often in this neck of the woods but we will be back!! <3“

“The perfect spot for anyone who loves thin-crust pizza. We had the Margherita pizza and it was absolutely delicious, along with a Caesar salad and a glass of Syrah to pair with it. The service was great too our waiter was super attentive and kind. The vibe is really nice, whether you’re on a date or out with friends. Would definitely come back and highly recommend it!“

“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!!“

“Friendly atmosphere . Great food and great service.“

“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!!!“

“This place is great! Service was great and our server/the staff was so attentive. Food was delicious, the family style is perfect in terms of serving sizes! We got the tuna crudo and squash arancini for starters. Then we got the mushroom tortellini, penne ala vodka, and the chitarra with meatballs. Dessert we had like a white chocolate pudding, and an apple pastry. Everything was delicious - our only complaints are that the mushroom pasta was slightly over salted, the peas in the penne felt a bit too hard and undercooked, and the desserts were a bit too sweet for my taste. Our favorites were the tuna, chitarra, and arancini. I recommend making a reservation but we walked in and sat at the chefs table (first come first serve) and it was so much fun watching them make our meal (shoutout to the chefs working tonight)! Note: I cant speak on regular serving sizes and their affordability/value since we only got family style.“

“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.“

“Great food- attentive waitstaff.“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“Beautiful atmosphere , fun foods with great flavor“

“Had such a great time here. The atmosphere was elegant but also comfortable. The entire staff was super friendly and attentive, and the drinks were absolutely amazing. A shoutout to my server, Jess—she was wonderful and really made it a great experience. It’s also in a perfect location near several popular theaters in Philly, making it a great spot for pre- or post-show drinks. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend!“

“Arrived to find a congrats card on the table with heart confetti-just married- so nice!!!! Had a delicious dinner, best steak I've had in a while, and we had the absolute best waitress, Jennifer. She was funny and sweet and gave us great recommendations!!! We will be going back soon!“

“We stopped in at the roof top bar after a local show. The atmosphere is lovely. The margaritas were fantastic. Both bartenders were quick with service. And we got steak nachos that were the best nachos we ever had! We would be back for sure.“

“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!“

“what a warm welcome to philly. the ambiance in this place is unmatched - the low light and the masterfully curated records spinning made it feel like a well needed step into the past, of slower days and simpler joys. the kind of spot that invites you to stay a little longer and sip a little slower. the coffee itself was just as memorable, and the pastries tasted like home.“

“Hosted my wife’s B Day event at Stone & Key Cellars. Awesome atmosphere, staff, and drinks. Highly recommended!“

“Took my partner and the kids for my partners birthday. Loved the whole atmosphere of this place. The food was very good and fresh. Our server Jenna was amazing. She took her time and made great recommendations. Will def return back to this place!!“

“I had to write someone to capture what an incredible time I had here! Walked into a stand-up bass and guitar playing classics in a vibe that was authentic and beautiful. Brick walls. 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.“
