10/10 (or 1,000,000,000/100!)

Hands down one of the best vibes in Gainesville! I visited for the first time and was blown away the minute I walked in. Between the olive plants and the Italian architecture on the ceilings, it felt like I’d been transported straight to Italy.

The atmosphere is chill and grown-up, but the food and the wine are the real stars. Pro tip: Ask for the “One Star Burger” and a glass of the Pinot Noir – California. It’s a chef’s special—if you know, you know. It is absolutely divine! We also tried the veggie flatbread (chef’s kiss—so fresh!) and finished with the fresh, delicious cannolis. OMGG YUMMMM!

Beyond the food, the owners are just the sweetest; they have truly created an amazing spot for family and friends. I was so impressed—I can’t wait to go back!

Raise Your Glass is such a great place to hang out with friends—and even meet new ones along the way! The food was delicious, the wine selection was perfect, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. What really stood out was the staff—they were all so approachable, friendly, and genuinely kind. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to often!

I visited again and I want to share my experience. I have been before for the galentine event and also for my company’s network happy hour mixer. Every time has been excellent. The mixer was a great big event for us. We had so much fun.
The owners are very knowledgeable about wine. Daisy is the main sommelier, and she really knows the wines. When you ask her questions, she is happy to explain and share her knowledge. At our company mixer, she not only served us but also educated us about the wines, which made the night more fun and interesting. Her husband is the chef and owner too and we asked him lots of things about the delicious cheeses.
My boyfriend had the market jar and the burger, and both were very great. I had the cofee martini and the potatoes! We had charcuteries before. The food was the best- fresh and made fresh. You can tell. Next time I want to try the wine flights because they look very fun. My boyfriend said he enjoyed the California red.
The atmosphere is great, soft music and no rush, and you can see the owners take a lot of pride in their place. I will be back with friends soon!

Such a great spot! The atmosphere is perfect whether you want to dress up for date night or keep it casual for a night out with friends. Everyone here is so welcoming and personable, and the owners go out of their way to make the experience special.

The wine selection is unique and thoughtfully curated — not the kind of wines you’ll find just anywhere — and I love that there’s a story behind both the wines and how the bar itself came to be. The food is outstanding, beautifully prepared by the chef, and perfectly paired with the wines.

Definitely a must-visit if you enjoy great wine, amazing food, and a warm, inviting vibe.

I love a good wine bar, and Raise Your Glass has so much potential! Between the beautiful decor, excellent and unique wines, and a growing gourmet food menu, this wine bar is a welcome addition to Gainesville! Great place for a girl’s night or a date night. Laid-back and sophisticated ambience, which is such a nice change from the usual college town offerings. The owners are sweet as can be, as well, and I wish them all the luck on this new venture!

Great wine bar/restaurant. We sent to try out a new place. It did not disappoint. We had the charcuterie board, Mediterranean mezza board, notice lemon dill board and pretzel board. I had the frizzante wine in Red and White, Train wreck Cabernet, and cuvee rudel Pinot. Everything we ate was delicious. The hummus in the Mediterranean board was my favorite it was smooth and so flavorful. The charcuterie board has fresh fruit and great cheeses. The lemon dill and salmon was delicious. The wine selection was great. Great place to get good food and drinks.

This wine bar is everything you hope for in a night out — classy, cozy, and effortlessly sophisticated. The ambiance feels upscale yet comfortable, making it perfect for date night or catching up with friends.

The owners are incredibly kind and attentive, creating such a welcoming experience. You can tell they truly care about their guests and the atmosphere they’ve built. The wine selection is thoughtfully chosen and pairs perfectly with the elegant setting.

The food deserves just as much praise. Each dish reflects real passion and creativity, and the evolving menu keeps things fresh and exciting.

Highly recommend!!

Raise Your Glass isn’t just a wine bar; it’s a beautifully crafted haven—a place to not only unwind but to reconnect with friends and discover a deeper appreciation for the vine.

Stepping through the doors, you instantly leave the everyday hustle behind. The location, thoughtfully situated off Tower Road, feels like a fortunate discovery—an escape without the downtown traffic or fuss. Inside, the design is a sensory delight: the rich, organic texture of the cork filled live-edge bar top and the striking artistry of the painted walls set an elegant, yet approachable, tone. The space is intimate, featuring cozy tables and plush booths, all anchored by the truly magnificent bar. The deep, sapphire-blue chairs add a regal flair, making you feel less like a patron and more like an honored guest. Your eyes are naturally drawn to the brilliant wall display behind the bar, a curated masterpiece of wines that promises adventure with every bottle.

What truly elevates this experience is the heart and soul poured in by the owners. They are not just staff; they are gracious hosts and masterful guides. When we celebrated a friend’s birthday, their genuine warmth and accommodating spirit shone through. For someone who is a limited wine drinker, the idea of selecting a bottle can be daunting, but here, it was effortless. The owners possess an impressive depth of knowledge, guiding us with patience and enthusiasm, allowing comfortable samples until we found that perfect match—a sip that was more than a drink; it was journey.

The culinary experience is just as inspired. Forget standard fare; the food here is a celebration of flavor and artistry. The variety of hors d’oeuvres, small plates, and charcuterie are utterly unique and undeniably delicious—a perfect symphony designed to complement the wine selection.

Raise Your Glass is more than a recommendation; it’s an invitation. If you seek an experience where elegance meets comfort, where knowledge is shared without pretense, and where every glass raised feels like a moment of true, shared joy, this is your destination.

Go, and be inspired.

Raise Your Glass is a true gem! I recently celebrated here with 10 friends, and it was the perfect choice. We reserved the back table, which created a beautiful, cozy space for our group. The food is served as small plates, each presented with stunning attention to detail. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious! The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our wine and water glasses were always full, and they struck the perfect balance between being attentive and letting us enjoy the moment.  And last, but definitely not least, the wine selection is excellent! I highly recommend a visit to Raise Your Glass to experience exceptional wine and food, wonderful service, and a truly luxurious atmosphere.
