“ We went during happy hour, so it was more reasonably priced than other times. I'm not a wine person, but the staff was really helpful and I enjoyed what they picked out for me. I also got a cocktail called the Old Dog Carl, which has rye and fennet and was very nice. But man, this cheese plate. Their selection of cheese is pretty unique and ours came with a lot of accompaniments. ”

“ I love Allegheny Wine Mixer every time I go. When I worked nearby, it was a nice after work stop. Now, it's my go to place for drinks and a convo with a friend. I love to grab champagne and a fancy hot dog there. The cheese plates are always good. It's a lovely wine bar where they're always kind, never snobby, and happy to help you make your selection. ”
“ I had no idea what to expect when my friend asked to meet here but I was pleasantly surprised. Why do they have glizzy's on special? I have no idea but I love the quirkiness of the place and the bar menu. The bartender was very nice and parking wasn't entirely terrible for Butler Street. I don't like coleslaw but I went for it and got this hot dog with coleslaw and potato straws on them and I loved it! Definitely will be back. ”
