What People Are Saying About Charlie's Wine Cellar

The Scene – Tucked above the wine cellar, this elegant bar seats only 40, so make reservations. Climb the narrow staircase to discover a dark-wood bar, dimly lit tables and join upscale South Tampa twosomes for a night of live jazz and more than 60 wines from around the world, sold by the glass, half-bottle and bottle. Leave relaxed--and maybe with a bottle or two. – – The Food – Pair wine with delectable hors d'oeuvres, including more than 28 gourmet cheeses, inventive pâtés and imported chocolates. Bring out the smoky richness of a Kenwood Russian River…

A nice experience....not your usual dinner out at a restaurant...more Unique and intimate.

I agree....this is a great date spot ...for new couples or old...or even a great group of girlfriends. Your host appears to be very knowledgeable about the wines he was serving the evening we were there. The pours are plentiful and they even offer you more. I definately like the 4 course meal. The setting is small, quaint and intimate. I like the small dinner group,(I think there were 7 or 8 tables total) the interaction amongst the guests and the experience as a whole. The food was okay....I think with some minor "touches" it can be a whole lot more...but, overall very reasonable for the price it costs. I would recommend for anyone who hasn't tried it. It was certainly a pleasant experience.
- Pros: intimate setting, good wine, excellent host...funny and knowledgeable
- Cons: the food is okay....good....Not the best or the highest quality....but, good

Should be called Charlie's Wine Attic
by melisser78 at Citysearch
The first floor is a retail store lined with wine racks, but turn the corner and head up the stairs to a small, yet warm and inviting space. Just a few tables and chairs fit in this tiny loft-style bar. Dark wood and candlelight create a romantic mood that only get better with the huge pours provided by the bartender. Knowledgable and talkative, he or she is the perfect balance of attentive and invisible that the small space neccesitates. Charlie's is the perfect after dinner date spot.
