Cellar Wine Bar

After passing this place by and wanting to go in for over two years, finally, we did! OMG. Great H, 5-7 T-Sat(?) $5 wines & 4 small plates for $21. New chef trained in Montreal, Sophia, she is the bomb. Ask her about her homemade garlic infused oil. I hope you get Ruben to guide you around this NW Denver hidden gem. It is my NEW favorite happy hour w/ wine loving ladies & also a fab romantic date night spot. Frosty windows, parisian bistro feel. The gnocchi was perfect... Pillowy, savory with shaved Parmesan flakes. Loved the current Ramsey Cab & Gruner Veltliner. We will be back. Often. Tuesday is ladies night = $5 glasses all night. Their sommelier could have my phone number. Dig it. Tip well. It's a small space & they earn every dollar. I am already dreaming of my next trip to Cellar Wine Bar. Love at first glass.

If you're looking for a spot to grab an affordable glass of tasty wine with friends during happy hour, then Cellar Wine Bar is worth checking out.  What's better than a $5 glass of delicious Malbec served alongside goat and Manchengo cheeses, dried dates (my fave), apricots, figs and Marcona almonds?  Maybe a generous serving of steamed mussels and creamy hummus with fresh veggies and pita bread?  They've got that too!  The restaurant is small with exposed brick walls, a large bar area and just enough seating.  There is a long, narrow table in the center which is perfect for a group of around ten or so (I would definitely make a reservation in advance if you have a group).  The staff was very friendly, but my wine glass was left empty a few times, which is never a good thing for this wine lover. :)

I am definitely a fan!  The wine is delicious and the food is surprisingly good.  Usually wine bars feel as though they don't need good food as good wine should carry them, thankfully Cellar provides both.  And the happy hour is as good as everyone keeps saying.
