What People Are Saying About The Grape at Vinings Jubilee

Featured Review

The Scene – This pleasantly snug wine bar has all the charm of its Vinings neighbors but stands out with a modern sheen and upbeat, chatty vibe. Contemporary art is mounted on gold-colored walls, and the glossy black bar shines under a rainbow of lights. The narrow interior is a tad too cozy at times, but a heated patio thins out the crowd. Live music--usually jazz, blues or piano--pushes the Grape into romantic-date territory. – – The Draw – Vinings residents are proud to call this place their neighborhood bar. The mostly clean-cut patrons don't conform to a certain…

We Love Vining's, But..............!

by jaymaygm

We love going over to Vining's, for a little village escape in the busy city. Many very good dining choices here. Many years ago, we used to love to drop by The Grape, for a glass of vino, after a meal. But these days, it has become rather boring, since it has become somewhat of an overpriced chain. Somehow chain wine bars, just don't get it, in Atlanta, with great choices like Ecco, Rathbun's and Vine. It seems rather dated for Vinings, and is not open on Sunday!

  • Pros: Rather Boring Wine Bar Chain!
  • Cons: Too Overpriced!

Crowded, outrageous wine prices

by kdkj

It's not a bad concept to let folks try wines and then buy the bottle in the shop next door. But OUCH, the wine prices (by the Bottle) are outrageous. I found the same Zolo wines at the bottle shop down the street for at least $4 less per bottle.
