Channel Wine Bar

Went here for «breakfast» and paid $ 15 for one tiny crêpe. So absurdly overpriced, and they didn’t even give us real plates.
I also wouldn’t trust previous reviews because the business has new owners who have changed the menu.

Blah blah is all i heard about this place… then i ate there… amazing! ill be coming bacl very very soooooon! thanks:-)

My husband and I were looking for a nice glass of wine and stopped at the channel wine bar, immediately we fell in love with the ambience. They had a nice selection of wines and other mixed drinks. What impressed us the most was the bartender, Sara (h). She was knowledgable about wines and very down-​to-​earth. We had an excellent time and will definitely come back if we are in town again.

A friend and I stopped in while the wives and kiddies were shopping. Its a wine bar but they had mixed drinks and shots. The wines were mostly from California which is always a plus. Joey was the bartender and he did a great job. I told him what I liked and he recommended a glass that was great. It was something with a 22 in it. We had a couple of goofy shots and they were good as well. A great little bar. We had a really good time here.

Great location and good ambiance inside. Good apps and fantastic local wines. The staff is friendly and helpful… Full bar too for those that aren’t wine lovers. The table next to is just ordered marshmallow martinis and they look delicious :)

My wife and I had a lot of fun here playing Jenga and watching reruns of the Tiger game during a cool evening in South Haven. The staff was very friendly and helpful… could have probably knew a bit more about wine (it is a wine bar, no?) but I drank Sangria the whole time anyway. I didn’t order any food and stuck with the liquid diet. Relaxing atmosphere and a hip little spot in cozy South Haven.

Cute place! Loved the various games on the tables throughout the bar. For a wine bar, I would expect the servers to know more than the average joe about the wine they are currently offering. Our server did not. She was very nice, just not knowledgeable about wine which I found weird. They have sangria too, but I did not care for it, one sip of my hubby’s and I thought it tasted like an impending hangover. They also have a full bar and beer list.
The first glass I ordered was awful. Tasted like it had been open for weeks, and the waitress eagerly brought me something new, which was great. I think this place has definite potential to earn more stars from me when we visit South Haven again next year.

This is a nice spot if you are looking for a good glass of wine. The have a nice selection to pick from. The art work adds to the aroma of the place.
This place also has some beer and a full bar so dont be shy if your loved one wants to go for the wine.
We called and the place doesnt have a set closing time so it is tough to tell how late they will stay open for. We went on a saturday night and they were open past 11.

This is a cute little wine bar with a home-​y meets sports bar feel. We visited at 9:15pm on a Friday night and they stayed open late since the Tiger’s were playing (but they even turned on the Stanley Cup Finals when we asked!)
At first I was a little scared since I asked for recommendations on a full bodied, jammy wine and the waitress recommended a zin, but I had the malbec and it was yummy. Her descriptions of the wine were pretty good and the taste was even better. Unfortunately they don’t offer flights of wine. My friend had the Blueberry Sangria and said it was yummy.
The service was excellent and the art is cool. Our waitress even wrote down the name of the artist when we asked. Very nice. Channel is definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a mellow place to grab a glass of wine.

Great selection of Napa wines as well as my favorite Domestic Beers, Great to stop anytime for the atmosphere and meet friends.

Channel Wine Bar was a charming storefront along the Old Harbor Village in South Haven along the river. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon during the fall and the bar was relatively empty. The owner was very friendly and socialized with us while he was serving our drinks. The wine selection was limited but had good breadth.
