“ We had the best time at Apero! Robert, the owner, took my friend and I on a journey through wine and helped us select what we wanted to drink. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was vibey. Good people, good wine, good snacks. I had a blast and will be back! ”
“ Robert the owner of Apero wine bar made our experience SO beyond amazing. He taught us all about wine and gave us a great wine tasting. The yummy fresh sourdough bread and little snacks were superb and next time we will definitely be ordering some food too! Could not recommend this wine bar enough. You can tell how much love is in it! Thank you again ”
“ Cozy wine bar for a solo drink or sharing a bottle with friends. They have a few hearty snacks (salads, nuts, olives, cheeses, meats) and plenty of natural wines to choose from. I highly recommend you let the staff give you a few wines to taste to see what you like. There’s a nice patio tucked away in the back as well. ”
“ What a gem. The staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. I’m kinda a wine newbie, but they took the time to taste a bunch of different options with me and get to know me. The space is lovely too—perfect for a chic date or party. I will be coming back soon! ”
“ Absolutely delightful wine bar. The staff are exceptional - highly personable, quick, efficient and knowledgeable. The owner, Robert, and his adorable little dog are everything! Zander offered us a taste of three of their orange wines and had excellent recommendations and anecdotes. My friend and I each had three different glasses of wine, and every one was excellent. We ordered olives and the duck fat fries, which were also excellent. All the food that came from the kitchen looked delicious. We will definitely be back for more food next time. Such a great atmosphere. This was one of the best nights out I've had this year. 10/10 ”
“ I appreciate their willingness to talk about and pour a few wines for you to taste before you order a glass. Noticing the subtle characteristics you enjoy makes wine so fun to drink, and the staff really help you have the kind of experience you would otherwise need to travel to wine country to get. ”
“ Absolutely wonderful place! Met the owner and he provided us with a wine tasting before we picked which one to order. He was so friendly and kind! Atmosphere was exciting yet calm. I'm so grateful to have found this place - cannot wait to return! ”
“ We were walking by and saw that Apero had finally opened and was doing a soft opening, so we decided to stop in. The inside was really cool/cozy and they had an excellent patio in the back. The menu was mostly just small bites, but still had several options. This could have just been the soft opening menu, and may include more options later. We only had the charcuterie board but it was excellent. We also each had two glasses of wine and the staff took time out to explain each wine to us and you could tell that they are passionate about what they are doing. The wine list was pretty good sized, offering both bottles and glasses, with several different styles and from all over the world. I'm glad this place has opened in the neighborhood. ”
