Market Vines Wine Bar and Cafe

After calling and checking what their hours would be on Saturday, we were expecting to go and have dinner and celebrate my cousins 25th birthday. After driving from Pittsburgh to meet up for the celebration, around 6pm, Market Vines was at a picnic and would not be opening back up for the rest of the evening?!  That would have been nice to know when I called. Too bad.

Great selection of beers but I'm not into that.  This California girl was delightfully surprised at their very extensive and reasonably priced wine selection. Happened to be there when they had a live band The New American Groove who are awesome and equally as eclectic as the beverage selection. Great night, good people great music.

The Grecian Festival was taking place and I really wanted a gyro but it was a 1,000 degrees so the significant otter and I opted for an indoor venue that gave us a chance to visit another of WV's 101 Unique Places to Dine.

The restaurant has a nice menu with salads, burgers, wraps and sandwiches. Their beer selection is good, and I'm guessing they have a strong wine selection though we didn't look at that (1,000 degrees calls for cold beer).

We both ordered an "on the vine" sandwich; the Otter got some kinda deli meat and I got steak. The sandwich comes with fries and slaw on it. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and the cold beer. The service was very friendly, and it seems as if it would be a nice place to hang out if you live nearby.
