So, first off! Awesome neighborhood! Stave is an oasis of sophistication. It has an old wood jazz feel without sacrificing a modern touch. My wife checked out a few boutiques’ and I dived into the vinyl record shops and comic shop on the same block!!! Anyone who knows me I’m in heaven in this neighborhood! The wife was done shopping first and as to not rush me (which I love her for ❤️), she popped into the Stave! And wow! What a lovely place! When I finally pulled myself away from the treasures I found while digging; the love of my life sat patiently waiting for her nerdy husband to come find her. And what a wonderful place to find my one and only. She sat sitting excited in a quiet room. She clearly had already made friends with the bartender and they asked me how well I have done in my adventure, and I immediately felt like home. We sat and had a lovely drink or two and
had to move on. Please! Please! Come to this neighborhood! It’s so much fun and has so much to offer with this gem hiding in plain sight!

This was a very nice find by simply typing in “wine bar” in Google search. The establishment is in an attractive area in Normal. We ordered a bottle of wine list, but we should have looked in the small market area too. They will open any bottle from the market area and you can drink it at the bar. The hummus was a bit on the bland side but We loved the pita bread, which is toasted or broiled. This is a nice change.

Stave is such a cool place in uptown! The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. The charcuterie has a lot of different options for meats and cheeses.

Food consisted of charcuterie type plates. Excellent quality and good if you like the overpriced meat and cheese of charcuterie, which we kinda do. Service was great. Excellent wine selection and drafts.

I think it’s just delightful that Uptown Normal has a wine bar. This is a superb location with parking all around. They offer fine service in a charming space. A wonderful stop either before or after dinner and excellent charcuterie, just excellent!

They offer exceptional wines and have very attentive staff. The regulars LOVE this place by the way I just saw one of them introducing themselves to a new staff member (April, who is incredibly knowledgeable and on it). The atmosphere is relaxing and the music is ON POINT. If you’re looking for a quick bite and drink definitely check this place out. A new favorite of mine!
