Wine Wednesday FAQs

The questions we get every Wednesday

Which bottles are 50% off on Wine Wednesday?

Every still-wine bottle on the menu priced under $100 is half off, all evening, every Wednesday. Champagne and sparkling wines are not included, and Reserve / Premium bottles ($100+) are at regular price.

Do I need a reservation for Wine Wednesday?

Walk-ins are welcome at the bar and a portion of the patio, but Wine Wednesday is one of our busiest weekday nights. We recommend booking a patio table at least a day in advance.

What time does Wine Wednesday start?

Wine Wednesday runs the full evening, from open at 4 PM through last seating. Pair it with our Tuesday to Friday Happy Hour from 4 to 6 PM if you arrive early.

Is the discount per table or per person?

Per bottle, no limit. Order one, half off. Order three, all three are half off. The only rule is the bottle's regular price has to be under $100.

Lock in your Wednesday

Reserve a patio table for sunset. Open the wine list. Order what you want.

Tuesday to Thursday is the local secret on the bay. Same view, same sunset, half the wait of the weekend. Add 50% off bottles on Wednesday and the math is hard to argue with.
