City Wine Shop

Overview

Situated opposite Parliament and alongside the theatre strip, City Wine Shop is not the place to venture for a beer and happy hour special. On the contrary, this is the place you go for a glass of Chablis, cheese board and a serve of fried artichokes — or even some fine caviar and champagne.

Choose from the by-the-glass wine list — which changes regularly — or simply buy a bottle from the on-premise bottle shop and settle in at an outdoor table, overlooking the Spring Street suits.

It's a classic setting for year-round romance, whether you're seeking sanctuary from winter inside City Wine Shop's rich wooden warmth, or a splash of sun with your latte on an street-side seat.
