The Wine Bar

The Wine Bar is a hidden gem on the outskirts of Mount Pleasant. It has a great wine selection and the staff is very helpful. My only negative is that the meat and cheese were just a tad overpriced for the amount that you get. Although I didn’t have the Groupon when I went so if you have that it is pretty well priced.

Always a good time at the wine bar. Great service, excellent recommendations, and amazing cheese with the wine.

My husband and I are Charleston locals and always enjoy frequenting here for date nights. The atmosphere is cozy with candles burning throughout and choices of high top tables, couches, or seating at the bar. There is a large selection of wines from which you can choose. We always enjoy letting their very knowledgeable sommeliers pick something out for us. Tonight we each enjoyed a red wine flight as well as a charcuterie board that consisted of 3 meats, 3 cheeses, and 3 chocolates as well as other accompaniments such as fruit, nuts, olives, etc. Bryan served us tonight, and as always, service was impeccable. Favorites of mine include the red dragon cheese and the PB&J chocolate paw. I hope these never leave the menu! I highly recommend a visit to the wine bar. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

I’m glad we came across this place on groupon or else we would have never known it existed! It’s small and very hidden but a great spot for some good wine and tapas! We purchased the groupon for 3 meats, 3 cheeses and 3 chocolates. We also got a few glasses of delicious wine and loved it all! They also offer wine flights which is great too. Great date night or girls night spot!

I am here vacationing, and happened to find this place on Groupon. The menu looks interesting, so we decided to give it a try. It is OUTSTANDING. The vibe is very laid back and warm. The lights are lower, the music is great, and it’s super comfy. The man who helped us was the owner, we also met his son who works there as well. They couldn’t have been more knowledgeable, attentive, and gracious. We got the 6 meat, 6 cheese, and 6 chocolates. My mouth is watering just writing this, it was the best I’ve had. If you get a chance to try the wild mushroom brie, you need to; it is to die for. In addition to the extensive wine list, they also have some exceedingly tasty craft beers.
We will be going back before we head home!!!

This is a hidden gem… Such amazing cheese & meats to choose from. The boys are super relaxed & knowledgable about wine, cheese & meat. Great for date night or a night with the ladies.

Cozy atmosphere, great wine selection and suggestions, and super tasty meat, cheese and chocolate! Perfect for our date night, but I could also see having girl’s night here! Looking forward to returning.

Awesome! Love their large wine selection. Good vibe and friendly staff.
While planning a weekend trip to Charleston I came across this place on Groupon. We decided to buy it to use after dinner on Saturday. We purchased the bottle of champagne with 6 chocolate deal. When we arrived we asked the friend guy who greeted us if we could exchange the champagne for wine. He said that was fine. I am not a chocolate person but I enjoyed all of the chocolates we had. There was a guitarist playing smooth music when we arrived. We sat in the couch area, but in two sling back chairs. All the tables were taken.
We both really enjoyed our experience here. We chatted with other patrons for a little while. We noticed the crowd seemed to come and go in waves. We arrived as the first wave was wrapping up and a couple of other groups arrived.
I really liked the large and fully stocked women’s restroom. It is rare to see a restroom with bobbypins, nail files, and more for patrons to use. The little details like this really make a different.
We will return the next time we’re in Charleston.

First Visit. Completely pleased and satisfied with the ambience, service, and food/​drink at this wine bar. I won’t review every item on our charcuterie, cheese, and dessert boards. I enjoyed everything!
Enthusiastically recommended based on this «first» visit.

Great place to sit and have a glass of wine after a movie. We sat right away in front of the window and although it took a few minutes to be greeted, they took great care of us once we were. It was Friday evening after all so the place was quite full.
We decided on a few of their meats, cheeses and chocolates and ordered a glass of their house red and white wine, on special for happy hour till 7. The charcuterie platter came out with the perfect accompaniments of fruit, honey, nuts and bread.
All the items we chose were great. I would highly suggest the chorizo meat and red dragon cheese. Overall our experience was wonderful and my husband and I cannot wait to go back and try more of their offerings.

What a great find — Thank you, Unilocal!We were here in Charleston for a race and looking for somewhere to relax with great wine. Peter, our bartender/​server was fabulous. Very helpful with our wine selection. Hubby got a local brew, again recommended by Peter. Ate some yummy meats and breads too. Will come back next time in the area.

I don’t always write reviews. but when I do, I do it for my favorite places. This is the best spot in town for a great glass (or bottle!) of wine or advice on wine. They also have some great light bites and a nice selection of meats, cheeses, and chocolates. Beer is also an option. These people are laid back, patient and attentive workers, knowledgable, and just awesome! The space is cozy and inviting. Do yourself a favor and go.

Amazing!!! Best cheese and meat selection I have seen for long time and the plates looked fantastic and we’re very tasty! Great selection of wine at really good prices (although I cheated and had a glass of inkblot cab from this cool new corivan wine tech toy it was cool but cost a little more). The service was also top notch from bryan and peter all night long we felt at home it is very warm and cozy we will return again and often this little little place is our new fav!

Once again, a fantastic experience. I purchased a groupon that included 2 glasses of champagne, 2 meats, 2 cheeses and 6 chocolates. The general manager, Chris, happened to be the first person to catch us (but every employee checked in frequently) and we asked that he choose for us. I am super annoying and have allergies and restrictions, but he was sooo accommodating and seemed happy to choose for us! Everything was delicious. And Peter again helped us with wine choices after the food. The best!

I’ve been here several times and I love it. It is kinda small but it’s perfect for a ladies night. The bar tenders are awesome and they are very helpful. The meat and cheese trays are awesome, I highly recommend them. It is kinda hard to find because of where it is in the strip mall but it’s near the Mexican restaurant and Ross, Around the corner from Bricco Bracco. I will defiantly be going back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our ladies night out at the wine bar. We took advantage of a Groupon promotion for a tasting for four. We enjoyed 4 glasses of wine, 4 cheeses, 4 meats, and 4 chocolates.
John was our bartender and very helpful during our visit. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and wines, and all his recommendations were on-​point. No small feat considering our preferences ranged from moscato to bold cabs. I appreciated that we were all offered a small tasting portion of the wine before «committing» to a whole pour. Especially since there was one wine I tried (at my request) that didn’t make the cut this evening! (Nothing wrong with the wine, just not what I was in the mood for). John was quick to notice that it wasn’t a winning horse and quickly made other suggestions. They also offer half glasses so don’t be afraid to ask :^)
Our cheese and meat plate was presented very nicely by chef Chris, who served us and walked us through the plate. The 5 year Gouda was quite good, with all the «crunchies» you’d expect from a high quality cheese, and the Pinot Grigio hard salami was also exceptional. We didn’t order off the small plates menu, but I would love to try the «slow cooked dr. pepper pulled pork sliders» on my next visit! Served on Hawaiian king sweet rolls with sweet and spicy pickles, it was truly an exercise in restraint to not order these (or 2 orders… Or 3…)
Overall, we had a lovely experience at The Wine Bar and appreciated the exceptional service and I was very impressed with John’s through knowledge of all the offerings. This is an excellent choice for a ladies night out or just an excuse to try some new wines. Give this spot a try!
