HART & CRU

"This is a great little wine bar that gives you the feel of being part of a lovely little community. There’s a large communal table or you can sit off in cozy little nooks. The wine was fantastic and very reasonable. I loved that there were a few choices across categories without having to buy a bottle — but if you knew what you liked, there were so many bottles to choose from. The selection was unique and the food paired really well as small bites to share and accented each of the wines we chose. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend for the wine aficionado or beginner alike. And with their selection, you can easily try something new or that fits your mood for the day."

"Enter and you will be transported to another place. Hart & Cru offers something extremely unique as you walk through their doors and you leave Cincinnati and enter (insert anywhere in the world). The space and the people are very warm and inviting. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and treats you like you are family. If you are new to wine or have an experienced palate you will find something here and they will help you navigate the menu/offerings. Even though food is not the focus you can easily come here for a meal! The food is wonderful and compliments the wines perfectly. It is hard to describe in a review, go check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Cheers!"

"What a gem! Unique selection of wines with a team that makes you feel comfortable making a selection no matter your preferences or level of knowledge. Great little bites and a cozy space that’s so welcoming. We love grabbing a glass and chatting with the staff about what they’re drinking/loving and exploring new wines. Love love love!"

"Nice bottle shop & tasting room. I enjoyed a wonderful Beaujolais before dinner. Service was great. In addition to several wines by the glass, they also serve a small selection of European beers plus canned cocktails. The food menu of lite bites ranges from Allez bread & oil to curated cheeses to artisanal tinned fish to caviar and more. It's in the Pendleton neighborhood of Cincinnati (about 2 blocks north of the casino)."

"Warm atmosphere, very small, super knowledgeable staff and GREAT wine selection. A must visit for wine nerds. We love this place!"
