The Scene – Overlooking busy Peachtree Road, this bubbly wine vault and bar draws a mix of Buckhead bottle buyers looking for that perfect label. An innovative menu sorts wines by their color and flavor, from light whites to full-bodied reds. Crowds pack a clutch of round tables and cushy wall seats, beneath wine-inspired art and chandeliers, to sample vintages and morsels from a tapas, cheese and dessert menu. – – The Draw – Whether a connoisseur or not, there's something on the menu for everyone. The cozy seating area is abuzz with well-heeled sippers--young and…

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Valet if you're trying to impress a date. Otherwise, park in the mall garage and spend your dough on an extra glass.
The Extras:
Early on Wednesday and Saturday evenings you'll find both pros and apprentices sampling three glasses of white or red at weekly tasting events.
Know Before You Go:
Although romantic, The Grape has a tendency to fill up fast and may not be an ideal spot for a private first date.

Unwind at The Grape

After long hours of work and a stressful week, my friends usually look for a place to unwind and what a better way than to go at the Grape to drink wine and have conversations with friends.

Great wine, atmosphere and service

by poggimer

This is a place I have passed by many times but never really considered. A friend asked me to meet her there and I was so surprised. It was cozy and dimly lit, a nice crowd inside. We sat at the bar and were served by Bobby. He was awesome. He made sure we had as many tastes necessary before we made a wine selection. We had a few tapas and finished the night with Bobby's signature drink. Great choice for a night of wine and casual conversation. If you are passing by stop in, I dont think you will be disappointed.

  • Pros: wine, ambiance

Good spot for a glass of wine

by AtlSmileyGirl

I like to sit at the bar - the bartenders are usually good about directing me to wines I might like. The menu is light so if you just need a bit to eat with your drink, it's a good spot. They also offer a specialty cocktail periodically, so ask about that next time you're there.

  • Pros: Good wine selection
