This is a very tastefully done and accepted Wine Bar. The Wine selection is very good, the ambiance is dimly lit, clean and somewhat refined and the servers are very helpful and pleasant. We simply stopped here for a glass of wine before heading out for dinner… It was perfect. Certainly an interesting overall business… seems very professionally managed and maintained. Patrons (as you might expect) are a bit more refined adding to its subtle charm… Well done!

Sips Wine Bar is a top-notch establishment. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed, with an excellent selection of wines to choose from. The charcuterie is beautifully presented and pairs perfectly with the wine. A great place to unwind and enjoy a quality experience.

Really love this place.
Erin is awesome. Great recommendations of wine and cheeses. And the 20-year port they have is delicious.
The setting and atmosphere are very inviting and comfortable.
If you love wine and exceptional service… You’ll have to stop by and say hello. Let Erin know you saw this review.

Just had to come say Victoria was awesome and so personable! The whole staff seemed wonderful and wine was great! We had a glass of rose and a glass of red before having dinner for our 11 year wedding anniversary, and came back after for another round.

Awkward experience. Upon entering, the hostess says “Have a seat anywhere”. The 1st table for 2 that we sit at, the host says, “That area is for a party”. We move to another table and the host says he needs to move that table for the party. We finally find a table that’s OK to sit at. Everything was simply average…the service, the wine selection, the charcuterie, etc. Prices were a little high, but you’re paying to wine & dine in the area…I get it. Over $146 for a “cheap” bottle of Pinot Grigio, 2 glasses of same, and a “custom” charcuterie board of 3 cheeses and 2 meats. Atmosphere seems to be a confused mix, like they aren’t sure whether to be high end or casual.

The atmosphere is charming and the wine selection incredible. I love the self-service bar where you can pour as little or as many ounces as you like – a great way to taste something new! Service needs work. I’ve been to Sips three times now on different days of the week and find that the servers do not initiate contact. At our last visit, my bf and I pproached the bar upon entry and were welcomed to sit at any table. We did, but no one came to us for over 15 minutes. I finally got up and grabbed menus from the side table myself. We ordered one glass each and when finished, the waitress came over with the checkout tablet and told us our total. It was strange that we weren’t asked if we wanted anything else/ another glass etc. We paid and left as the interaction implied. Strange. But otherwise a great place. I hope it succeeds because it’s a Safety Harbor gem and I will return because one odd experience doesn’t sour my love for a local wine bar, but I hope the staff can read this feedback.

I regularly visit SIPS and enjoy Erin and Mate. They’ve been incredibly accommodating for both work- related meetings, special dinner pairing events and evenings with friends. They’re always introducing new wines and varieties and are so pleasant to sit and chat with.
I’d like to add that it’s very uncool to an obvious handful of others who are leaving snide reviews, bullying Erin and Mate over an event they had there. Shame… Especially attacking a small, well loved business in our humble community.
Please treat yourself to a visit to SIPS – Erin and Mate are waiting and ever so eager to meet you and share their passion with you.
Cheers!!

I am a local Tampa Bay resident and I LOVE stopping by whenever I can. The cheese boards and wine are fantastic and the staff are so happy and friendly. SIPS has a simple elegance that balances a beautiful evening out with elegant small town charm. I just attended a national conference hosted in Safety Harbor and SIPS was the BEST gathering place! Can’t wait to go back again soon!
