Diana’s Cellar Door

Probably the most fun you can have in Kingman is at Diana’s Cellar Door. They say wine bar, but they have a huge selection of beers as well. Hungry? No problem. They have a few options right there (like a cheese plate) or you can order food from a few nearby restaurants and they will bring it right to you.
Live entertainment is apparently available most nights too. Last night we had some good olé Irish music for Saint Patrick’s Day, and you could tell the crowd was really enjoying themselves!
Diana is the perfect hostess. She and bartender Jesh interact with all the guests and immediately make you feel like you are at home. This is definitely a place to come back to over and over again.

Came to Kingman for one night stay on way to Grand Canyon. Needed refreshments after dinner and found Diane’s Cellar Door.
Atmosphere: perfect
Selection: delightful
Service: excellent
Recommendation: they stock New Zealand wine!

We are from LA and all it’s wine bars and make frequent trips to local wine country (Santa Ynez, Santa Barbara, Paso). Diana’s more than holds its own with California wine bars. Excellent owner and bartenders, large varied selection, and great setting will greet all visitors and make this a hidden gem in Northern Arizona! This place will always carry memories from the first visit and deserves and calls for many returns!

Great intimate atmosphere and fantastic variety of wines to choose from. the bartender kept us up to speed and involved in all the places to explore! Definitely will be a returning when in town!

Great red and white sangria!!! The best we have ever had! Beautiful atmosphere and very relaxing place, nice acoustic music!

Since Diana has taken over the Cellar Door, she has continued and added to the local charm as well as adding a small menu of specialty wine-​based cocktails to the already solid selection of wines by the glass and bottled beers. Her knowledge of wine is extensive and she will help novice or expert find the right selection from her menu or cellar. The sangria, available in white or red, is outstanding. The only problem is it isn’t offered during the winter.
This is a truly local wine and beer bar, but visitors will find a very friendly and welcoming crowd for an enjoyable evening. Since many local restaurants deliver here in addition to the wide variety of cheese plates and other bites offered, it is easy to relax and spend some quality time. The variety of musicians performing nightly has also continued, including some who tour the nation one gig at a time. It does get louder as the night goes on, but you can also quiet down on the patio area out front.

Wow, what a great place to kick back, relax, & have a glass of wine or beer, very friendly people and atmosphere.

Wish there was a «love» button! This is where we have our most important department meetings! I am amazed by all the things the owner is able to do with wine! Came in today with a tray of In-​and-​Out to enjoy with our wine based Bloody Mary’s, can’t wait for the wine based margaritas and whatever is in the works for the delicious pineapple infusion we tried! Thank you!!!

I have been going to the cellar door for a while now. I always have a wonderful experience there. It has a great atmosphere, great selection, and amazing synergy with the surrounding businesses such as sirens and the garlic clove.

It’s the cellar door! Nothing better than pizza night with a great pitcher of sangria and a cheese platter. The games selection is awesome and there’s usually pretty good live music.

I ended up at this place based on Google searches of things to do in Kingman.
I went here on a Friday night, and I was surprised to see only about 10 patrons inside. I guess that’s life in Kingman though. My first impression was how open and inviting the layout is. The bar tenders were nice and even offered tastes of wine, before deciding on which glass to purchase/​drink. Their beer list is decent, considering they have nothing on tap. And they had a guy playing guitar and a little harmonica. I tipped him and he played some Jonny Cash for me, so that was nice.
Three stars seems low, but «A-​OK» accurately describes the place for me.

A «mom and pop» endeavor, owned and operated by a couple of retired teachers, The Cellar Door offers a good wine list by bottle and glass at reasonable prices and even more good bottle options to purchase in their adjacent bottle sales area.
Friendly service by the owners (Nancy and Scott Rhoades) who made us feel right at home in the funky «all are welcome here» vibe. Customers taking in the music and the libations ran the gamat from 20 somethings to seniors with folks in pairs, in groups and as singles. You sense this is a «locals favorite» place.
Lots of inside seating options at regular height tables (woohoo…I struggle with bar height seating these days due to MS), bar height tables and a sofa and a couple of easy chairs. Outside tables and chairs on the patio were full on the evening we were there, which is no suprise given the fabulous September weather.
But we wanted to be inside so we could hear the music. Musicians constantly change; on the night of our visit a jazz musician playing old standards and some of his original work and whose dad, also a musician, had rubbed elbows with the likes of the great Coltrane.
Food is limited to things like mixed cheese, fruit and nut plates. Except on Thursdays when you can order pizza they pick pick up and bring in from a local pizza place. We were there on a Thursday, but had eaten dinner elsehwere. Next time, we’d opt for pizza here if coming to town on a Thursday night because it looked tasty.
We stayed a couple of hours sipping a bottle of domestic sparking wine, nibbling on a cheese plate as dessert, and listening to the music. We hated to leave. If this was in our neighborhood, we’d be regulars.
THIS N THAT:
1) PARKING & ACCESS: This is located in downtown Kingman and parking is on street and can be scarce. Also note for Yeeps and other peeps who rely on Accessible (aka ADA) parkng, we found nary a sign of it in downtown Kingman, which overall tends to be pretty inaccessible. Sadly. But The Cellar Door itself is level in and throughout. Happily.
2)BREWSKI TOO: If you’re a beer drinker, you are in luck here too. There was a good sized beer list, including several from Deschutes Brewery in my home city. (Everything is connected.)
3) HOURS & MENUs: Can be found at this link:

I love this place. I have met many of people that have become close friends here including the owners. They also feature many local musicians. Great wine, great food and great company. Don’t forget to come in on a Thursday for Pizza Night.
