I regretfully submit a change to my review of this establishment that I once rated 5 Stars for their caring, knowledgeable, friendly, and hard-working staff that we all knew and loved (Kat, Drake, Seth, Ben...all of them). They made every regular we had into just that: regular guests who loved their favorite bar. First time guests that, after their initial experience with the staff + their level of teamwork-driven dedication and welcoming professionalism, (not to mention great service, beverages, and great dining choices) decided to keep coming back again and again. Until Manny Chavez drove not only his loyal staff away but actual guests...repeat guests...regulars that had visited almost everyday and helped the bar stay afloat during the hard months, all in the name of his definition of leadership (of which he had none left in terms of employees or knowledge of the subject himself). Q. - But what did that matter to Manny Chavez? A. - Even less than his empty words (used to blame everybody but himself) meant to Steve. Steve was a regular, an almost daily guest for over a year, that Manny had publicly confronted one day when Steve came into the bar after posting a Yelp review about Manny and his unprecedented lack of professionalism. And instead of doing the right thing by asking Steve what it was he could do to correct his mistakes, to keep him coming back after being so loyal for so long... Manny embarrassed and insulted Steve, who had only exercised his right to freedom of speech. Manny did this because Steves review wasnt of the staff or their service, but a review of Mannys questionable actions as the "GM" of a higher-end wine bar. Physical confrontation was the route Manny Chavez chose to take which led to Steve never being allowed in the building again after so much loyalty Steve had shown the establishment, simply for leaving a 3-star review...Not 1-star or 2, but an average 3-star review causing a "GM" to publicly confront a man in his own bar. Bravo, Manny Chavez. I hope one day this establishment will keep a staff as long as they could the first few who stuck around as long as they could before being edged out by ego, narcism, and greed. Good luck to anyone contemplating a visit to this place. I truly, truly hope its gotten better. If so, I will gladly change my review again, as Steve had said he would have done if not for that incident. But for now, things needed to be made clear to potential guests in hopes they never experience what many have under the current ownership and management. Thank you.

When you first walk in the place appears very upscale and well done. However, beyond that, this place has very little to offer. The food is cheap and obviously frozen/reheated and not actually cooked. In my experience, the service is unbelievably bad. My group of friends was one of three groups at the bar and there were three waitstaff working. Despite this, numerous mistakes were made to the order with forgotten meals and drinks. It took nearly 2 hours to get a reheated flatbread and only after the manager came over three times to clarify what I had ordered. Once we ordered the bill, it took 30 minutes to arrive. After the terrible service, the manager had the gall to try to charge us for the individual ingredients in our drinks rather than as a specialty cocktail (about 4 times cheaper). I highly discourage anyone from going here, at least until the owners find/train their management/staff better and improve the quality of their food.

I have been to Urban Wine many times and I keep going back because of the great wine selection, friendly, knowledgeable staff and fun, relaxing atmosphere. Each and every time I have gone there, the wine has been wonderful, the food fresh and tasty, and the staff have always been helpful, professional and knowledgeable about the wine selection. Give it a try -- I think youll really like it - and will likely become a return customer like me!

Im confused by the description! I have yet to hear any rap. Its a very relaxed environment with very mellow music such as black keys and animal collective. The food is wonderful; from the sushi to the crab avacado dip. The presentation is awesome. Worth the extra bucks, and great for dates.

I really like this place. The staff started greeting me personally after only two or three visits, which is pretty cool. The service is always quick and professional, and the prices are great. Plus, nothing beats hanging out on the big covered patio and enjoying a good glass of bourbon.

We came here on NYE and were very pleasantly surprised to find they were still running happy hour specials, even on such a bust night. The wait staff was very friendly, despite being crowded. The food was very good and our drinks were strong, yet tasty. We will be going back again soon.

So, so, so, so much wine! Not a huge wine drinker myself but there is an entire damn wall of wine at this place. Waitstaff and bartenders were super friendly. The outdoor seating has couches and tables. Will be back again

Great place for a date. If you are there for happy hour, try the crab cakes. Also, the best drink for a non-wine drinker is their sparkling mascato. You will want to take a bottle home.

Phenomenal bar tender. He makes drinks specialized to you. They also have reverse happy hour which is awesome for people looking for a night out in a upscale atmosphere.

Bartenders and wait staff need some serious training. I was so disappointed with how things worked out. This may have been a special event but staff accordingly!

The bar tender was awesome. He just asked what I typically drink and made me an amazing martini. Truly a master of his craft. Cannot recommend enough!

Nice place to hang out and enjoy some wine. They do have plenty of other options to drink as well. Little bit pricey for my taste tho.
