About Little Prince Wine

Tucked beneath the historic Prince Hotel, this candlelit wine bar pairs over 4,000 cellar bottles with low-slung jazz and quiet corners. Regulars drop in off Acland Street to escape the rowdy beachside strip, sinking into a space where conversation never has to compete with the soundtrack. Sommelier-guided pours demystify rare varietals alongside freshly shucked oysters and custom cheese boards. Come Tuesday, kitchen pans turn out $20 pasta specials matched to pours by the glass.

  • Deep Cellar Access: Over 4,000 bottles in the cellar alongside approachable, staff-recommended glass pours.
  • Calm Acoustic Haven: Low-volume jazz soundtrack kept at conversational levels away from the Acland Street bustle.
  • Midweek Pasta Night: A casual Tuesday tradition featuring fresh pasta dishes alongside tailored wine pairings.
