Oakley Wines

4011 Allston St, Cincinnati OH 45209
$$ Contemporary

Our philosophy is simple: drink good wine with good friends and good food. We are a wine bar and bottle shop specializing in organically grown (and beyond), low intervention wines from small producers. Chef David Saffles has created a small but mighty menu of creative dishes meant to share with your pals and pair with our wine menu.

In the evening, our subterranean wine bar and private event space, The Cellar, opens for some true speakeasy vibes. It's the perfect place to gather your friends, pop some bottles, and celebrate.

Grab a bottle to go or grab a glass and stay a while. Our educated staff can help you find the perfect bottle ranging from the everyday to the next level.

The wine was great and the server was super knowledgeable! The food was not so great. I had a beef strew with veggies and grains, it lacked so much flavor and the meat was really chewy.
