Fun, casual place. Allows you to bring in outside food and dogs are allowed. Really laid back and quiet. Staff is great. They even have games sitting around that you can use.

Welcome to this unexpectedly quaint Lousiville Highlands wine bar and shop. Proprietor Rob is a cool dude, if a little distant. Interesting wine selections, mainly decently priced reds, and a wide array of spirits and cocktails. Easier to navigate than Total Wine, Liquor Barn, etc. But be careful—wine by the glass is trickier…comfy spaces to sit and sip, but limited pouring selections, and only off-the-rack food (chips and nuts). Also, quite honestly, it’s overpriced: $12 per glass for a reasonable (not generous) pour of chard selling for $14.99 per bottle off the shelf (no lie!) My assessment is that this is more a place to bring your known familiars than to meet new friends. Maybe I’m being harsh. Try it out. Tell us what you think…

Wine shop meets intimate lounge. Knowledgeable manager with exceptional hospitality. This is great for a weekly happy hour, a girls’ night out, intimate group party. They also serve a handful of seasonal, craft cocktails for the non-wine lovers. They currently have a modernized Old Fashion that is absolutely delightful. Best of all, the experienced staff can make great recommendations based on your taste and preferences. Ask for something new or unusual.
The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I wish they had a few standard snacks on their menu such as cheese and charcuterie. Keep in mind, you can have food delivered from one of the many tasty restaurants nearby, and the staff can suggest pairings for whatever you’ve ordered.

A perfect location to watch Racing Louisville matches! The staff were attentive to our needs while also caring about the game, and it felt like watching it in a living room with my friends!

Went for pre-dinner cocktails. After a cheerful greeting, we were matched with glasses of wine, based on our stated preferences. Great taste!
We sipped our servings in comfortable chairs in a livingroom setting. I will return!

We love this place! Great selection of retail wine and bourbon. A quaint lounge area with craft cocktails, spider monkeys and great conversations.

No longer the Highlands’ best-kept secret, Vines Wine Bar is a true neighborhood gem! From their thoughtfully curated monthly wine club to the genuinely friendly and knowledgeable staff, every visit feels like a special experience.

Vines is a cozy place to meet friends and have a glass of wine or spirits (they make a mean Old Fashion!). Plus it’s a retail store for great wines and liquors! Friendly staff AND patrons!

I kinda hate to say how much I love this spot because I fear it becoming overcrowded, but this is a great spot for a few after dinner drinks and conversation. They feature several wines for tasting and by the glass, along with bourbon and a selection of cocktails. If beer is more your speed they share outdoor space with Great Flood brewery and are welcoming about floating between the two spaces. The outdoor seating is nice, but I especially love the conversation pits inside. Canine companions are welcome and there is a good selection of bottles for purchase to take home.

We have lived in the area for two years and just happen to go in today with my mother-in-law and kids. The service was amazing the drinks were well priced. Their dog was absolutely perfect and sweet. Definitely recommend their old fashioned!
