Editorial Review for The Wine Bucket Boutique & Bar – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
A romantic Tuscan interior unfolds with warm terra cotta walls, large wooden carved armoires, feminine chandeliers and candles flickering at each table. Women linger and gab, along with first dates and regulars from the neighborhood who like to kick back at their "home away from home" and sip a favorite chardonnay.

The Draw
The Bucket is a cool place to decompress after shopping, dining, or a long day at the office, even if you are alone, as there is no meat market aura. Expect about 30 wines by the glass in addition to wine flights, snacks, and themed weekly wine tastings. Snag a small umbrella patio table, perch at the bar or sink into a cushioned wicker chair inside.

User Reviews for The Wine Bucket Boutique & Bar

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

It has been a month or so since I have visited the wine bucket, yet it still feels like home. The staff is always very welcoming with impeckable service and although some changes have been made, the atmosphere is always cozy. The extended patio is loveley with giant umbrellas to shade you from the heat and A flat screen television is tastefully hidden in an armoir for all of those sports lovers. The Wine Bucket is always at the top of my list, and I believe everyone should have experience its wonder!

I love this place...everytime I come in I feel like a member of the family. The decor is very classy and cozy and definatley NOT "hotel lobby" like. The Wine Bucket is a bar and does get very busy, but at no time do I feel like I need to shout over anyone or compete with the music level to have a conversation. Although it's an upper-class type of place, the bar tenders as well as the clientele, are never snobby or pretentious, but welcoming and genuine. If you like wine or even if you don't, but enjoy good company and good service...this is the place to be!

Pros: ambience, service, wine selection and appetizer selection.
