We are a small neighborhood wine bar and bottle shop on a mission to serve our community excellent wine from unique producers. We also love properly made craft cocktails and delicious small plates, all delivered in a vibrant atmosphere with great tunes. At Nouvelle, we’re obsessed with this idea of better wine. To us, that’s wine that’s delicious without being too stuffy and serious. Wine for drinking. Grown, not manufactured. Wine that tells a story, made by people we’ve shaken hands and laughed with. Real wine for real people, for real. Most importantly, we believe wine without community is wasted, so let’s share it — Santé!
“First time here and wow — what a place! Low key, chill vibes, and exactly what I was hunting for: an outdoor patio where I could drink something nice, enjoy good company and good atmosphere. The staff? Super friendly. The other patrons? Also delightful — not a single weird stare, which is rare for me. Big bonus points for the sign out front: 21+ only, no kids allowed. Look, I love kids… from a distance… in theory. But sometimes adults just need a place to be adults. This patio is it. The waterfall and garden in the back were like the final garnish on a very well-made cocktail. It felt like I stumbled into a secret garden that also serves beer. Lastly, and a pro tip before you go: The bathroom doors slide. I repeat — they slide. Do not push! Bottom line: go. You’ll love it.”
“Nouvelle Bar and Bottle is an absolute gem! The staff was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu, each pour, and the overall experience with passion and expertise. The wine list is hands down the best bubbles menu in the city, offering an incredible selection you won’t find anywhere else. An added bonus? You purchase a bottle (or three) of your favorite—such a killer addition to an already outstanding experience! The food was just as impressive, with thoughtful pairings that elevated our drinks. The charcuterie and chocolate plate were both perfect choices. Whether you're a champagne lover or just looking for a unique and welcoming spot, Nouvelle is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!”
“Such a cute place. Attended a graduation party here and this bar/venue did not disappoint! I enjoyed the bartender’s DD special. All the syrups were house made and left nothing to be desired. The ambiance was a1!”
“We finished the evening at nouvelle wine bar. If you’ve not been here before, this is such a chic yet comfortable experience. This is also in the heart of Niloo but it has such a great casual ambience to it. The summertime I have a wonderful patio area that makes you forget that you’re in the middle of downtown today since it was New Year’s Eve. We actually got there shortly after it turned 12 A! So we spent our first few hours of the new Year here. The ambiance is lovely. We had a seat on a comfy couch and ordered some champagne. The selections were out of this world for the holiday. The opener of the wine bar is a grade 3 sommelier. So you know this was going it be incredible and it lived up to the hype. This was a wonderful way to ring in the new year. They have classes on wine and lovely music evenings to come in the spring/summer time. I’m just thankful for this wonderful find and the wine!”
“Ok so the place was great but the wine selection was terrible. So we had a great bar tender that recommended a great wine cocktail so I had a wonderful experience with my gf. I would recommend but not for wine tasting.”
