Tommy’s Wine Bar

We stopped in here around 10:00pm on a Friday night for a glass of wine and cheese plate. The woman behind the bar said she would be right with us, but never returned to take our order. We waited for 10 – 15 minutes before deciding to go elsewhere. We ended up walking a few doors down to La Boca where they served us immediately (and their empanadas were excellent).

I’m teetering between 3 and 4, but my review is closer to a 3. Dark, a little dingy, ok service. I got the Soft-​shelled Crab — fried on a bed of pasta, shrimp (bait-​sized), and cream sauce. The crab was tasty, but the remainder was bafflingly heavy. My husband got Shrimp with pasta — it was nice, but average. Dessert, pecan pie with chocolate, was sub-​par: poorly plated, cloyingly sweet. Maybe just not my cup of tea. Dinner plus tip was $ 135 — pretty pricey for the experience.

Had pre-​dinner drinks here– loved it at 4pm. It was perfect hour before the restaurants open, and empty bc not quite happy hour or when people are walking down tchoupitoulas.
The GOOD! Drinks and Ambiance! Had a lovely pomegranate cocktail floated with veuve cliquot (sp?) and a zinfandel after. My friend enjoyed his cocktail as well. The ambiance is that of a lovely wine bar– supple leather chairs and heavy drapes– dark and cool.
Here’s what I think is most important about this place– it is special and Churchill-​esque (see pleasure pig) but not so sophisticated and snobbish as to be off-​putting. I like wine– I know how to order for my palatte. My friend would drink sutter home and call it good– but could still find a drink he was comfortable with (they have a full bar) and even tried a glass of the wine I got– which he loved.
Bartender super sweet– very attentive and helpful.
Bottom line– I hesitate to review because I would like to keep it all to myself and as empty as I enjoyed it. Le sigh.

Drinks are pretty pricy compared to other bars in the area. We stopped in here because of all the hype about celebrities frequenting the place. It has a comfortable seating area and the bar tenders are very knowledgable. The social scene is older, but not a bad place to stop in and grab a Sri k before going out on the town :)

Wow. Could barely get served, the wine was open too long, and the air conditioning was arctic. Moved on, quickly.

This is one of the nicest spots in the Warehouse district and I’ve always enjoyed myself here. As the name implies they have a nice selection of wines while also offering a good choice in beer and spirits. They have a comfortable bar along with table seating. If your looking to escape the normal bar scene and want a more sophisticated and civilized location then this is your place.

The swankiest place in the Warehouse District — $ 10 bottomless bubbly and their cheese plate is the biggest and best in the city.
