We have just moved to the area and were looking for a fun, romantic place to celebrate our one year anniversary. Sixth Avenue Wine & Ale did not disappoint us. We ordered the special, beef tips, with asparagus and roasted potatoes. The beef was fantastic with a great spice rub and cooked to perfection. The potatoes were also well seasoned. We ordered the chocolate blossom for dessert and it was delicious. A live jazz band was playing and people we dancing (us included) which was fun. The wine was pretty good. The staff let us sample a few for free, which was nice. We will being going here again.
Review Source:Looks like a fun place to gather and have a couple drinks, however, the food was not that good. Â They do have an extensive beer offering (all bottled beer) of which staff had little knowledge. Â The problem is they offer too many types of beer and the staff is not helpful so either you are choosing because you had it before, or you like the name. Â They really should offer fewer beer choices and know more about the selections or offer half a dozen decent tap beer offerings from more local brewers and know more about these selections. Â We will not return.
Review Source:What a fun place! Large wine list, lot of small plate options, some nice entrees, and desserts. We had the pork entree and the chicken pasta entrees with side salads. Very nice. We got helpful suggestions for wines along the way. There was some fun but loud live music so conversation would have been difficult but not impossible. A find for Alexandria, though.
Review Source:Great place in the Alexandria area we plan on frequenting a lot more when at our lake home.  Cool little bistro feel ,  pretty hip clientele, with live  music. Last night was Jazz. - perfect!  I felt like I was downtown MPLS for a split second. I was in the mood for some champagne and while it was not sold by the glass my nice server said she thought they had  some left over from an event and went in the back room and found me a little bottle - enough for one. She also only charged me $4.00 - Impressed!
I ordered the wine plate, which had a great assortment of meats, cheeses, fruits,  killer good pesto  I could not stop eating, breads, spicy almonds.  It was simply wonderful!  I wish we had stayed there for dinner but we wanted to hit a bar across the street and try dinner at Doolittles (mistake!)
We can't wait to go back next time we're in Alex.
Fantastic wine list and wonderful small plates. Â My last visit, I ordered the wine plate, which had a wonderful assortment of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, pesto, crostini, almonds and more. Â It was fantastic, especially priced at 10 dollars. Â It reminded me of happy hour at a fantastic little wine bar on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica...sans the sunshine and palm trees. Â Ah--a wonderful taste of upscale in a town that caters to a blue collar crowd.
Review Source:I asked for Chef Jensens recommendations and was very please with the Beef Bourguignon feature and Chocolate Blossom dessert, along with accompanying beverages of his selection. Great service, presentation, quality, and value.
I'll definitely be back and would recommend this place for date night, daily celebrations, the after work wind-down (wine-down), and as in my case, the solo-business traveler who appreciates a wholesome meal at the bar.
To say it is an unexpected pleasure to find this wine bar downtown Alexandria is, I now believe, selling the town short. Â Clearly the locals know and love this place. Â Before long, my server had introduced herself and it was old home week. Â There is not a bit of attitude about SAWA, it is purely and simply a nice place to grab a glass of wine (or a bottle of craft beer) and hang out.
I enjoyed the "wine lover's plate," which was a variety of fruit, cheeses, nuts, bread and olives. Â The small plate's portions were quite generous...I can only imagine the quantity that comes with the larger version. Â The chicken pizza recommended by my server offered generous chunks of the bird along with a cream sauce and toasted cheese on top...hot and delicious. Â
The wine list itself was solid, boasting The Usual Suspects at the usual prices. Â The beer list was extensive, though it too contained few surprises. Â I understand that there is also live music on Thursdays and the odd Saturday as well. Â SAWA is well worth a visit--you will certainly find something to enjoy at this most pleasant establishment.
Five stars for being one of the very few upscale places in town. Sixth Avenue is a fantastic wine bar, with a stellar menu and a great wine list. I highly recommend the honey mead...served warm, and the scrumptious chocolate fondue.
The ambiance is classy bistro, with fire places, relaxing couches, free wi-fi, and a game table in the corner for those long Alexandria winter nights. You could, if you didn't look outside for a second, imagine yourself in Chicago or New York, it's that well done.
Definitely something worth checking out if you're looking for a nice night out in Alex.
