Grapes Wine Bar

great wine by the glass.great service.great selection of charcuterie and cheeses.even dessert are excellent.love this place.very friendly.

I love this wine bar.  Its a really great local hangout in the Clock Tower shopping center...who would have figured.  Its great you can stroll there a small gourmet market, stroll through a great wine store and pick up a bottle of wine and then end with a fantastic cheese plate and wonderful wines at Grapes.  They have the wine bar concept figured out and this will always be a to go place for me when I need some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of busy downtown annapolis.

We had a small function here for work on Sunday.  It was nice because they were open just for us so we received great service.

Everything was fantastic.  I am not much of a wineo so I drank a few different beers.  I would think the place is expensive, I am not sure since the company paid for it.  But I think it would be a great place for a relaxing evening.  Food was amazing.
