About this space

68 Wine Bar occupies the main ground floor with outdoor tables on Commercial Street, perfect for al fresco drinks during Golden Hour. Inside, it has a classic, understated wine bar vibe that extends to a vaulted cellar in the basement, offering a distinct atmosphere for wine enthusiasts.

The bar's warm lighting and central bar create a relaxed, character-rich setting. The menu features a refined selection of global wines by the glass, bottle, and flight at competitive prices, along with locally brewed pints. Food options include charcuterie boards with daily cheeses and cured meats, plus Japanese-style sandos for the lunch crowd.
