Chill, alt wine bar with amazing bar food and a rotating beers. The natural wine selection is a very extensive list with options for glasses and bottles. There is always a very relaxed vibe with great music and thanks to the low light, a perfect spot to just flake out and enjoy a drink. If you prefer a quiet drink, be there before 9pm as this place gets packed most days of the week. Outdoor/sidewalk seating is also available and the streets come alive outside the bar. The hot dog is a must.. always incredible!
Fun easygoing vibe and yummy hot dogs! And great drinks of course
Been neighbors with Prado for over two years now. They recently hosted me for my 27th birthday and I couldn’t be more thankful! This is the OG wine bar. They’ve always had the best selection of ciders and sour beer on tap, very affordable too, I have like 5 drinks when I’m here. It’s gotten more crowded but the staff always takes care of you if you’re a regular. So much love for this place! 3
Loved the ambiance and feel of the bar. It’s a little plain outside so easy to miss but the ambiance and feel is amazing. I enjoyed the vinyl records playing and selection of drinks was fantastic. I will definitely return.
Great selection of wine and the hot dogs are exceptional. It can definitely get crowded, esp the weekends, but also has some cozy date night vibes.
fun natural wine selection. personally excited about the domestic wine & hybrid grape varieties. bar snacks & yummy beer too
So cool it's practically stupid. You will become cooler from going here. I did, and I'm a relentlessly uncool person. If you too are maybe a little bit or even a lot uncool, feel free to ask the bartender for help! They will in fact gladly help and not laugh at you. In addition to specials written on the board above the bar, they have an extensive list of wine by both the bottle and glass. (I personally chose the house syrah, which was delicious.) They do not serve mixed drinks or liquor, but do have a beer or two and a cider (also delicious) on tap. You can enjoy your drink inside, or outside either on the back patio or at the tables out front on the sidewalk. Prepare for a people-watching smorgasbord even if you're like me and don't recognize famous people in the flesh. Expect to overhear something hilarious, interesting, or both. Please remember to tip your waitstaff, and you'll have a great time!
amazing vibes and energy. friday nights are the best here
