About The Alps Wine Shop & Bar

Floor-to-ceiling bottle racks meet warm neighborhood hospitality at this Commercial Road wine bar. Part bottle shop and part communal haunt, the space trades cellar snobbery for approachable guidance, pouring rotating glasses and opening rare finds tailored to personal tastes. Regulars gather around the central communal table over thin-crust pork and fennel pizza, anchovy toast, and Calabrese sausage with pickles. Out back, a leafy courtyard and The Cabin offer relaxed corners for late-afternoon pours.

  • Retail Wine Wall: Floor-to-ceiling racks display an extensive portfolio of local and international bottles to drink in or take home.
  • Approachable Guidance: Staff pour samples and match obscure varietals to personal taste without pretension.
  • The Cabin & Courtyard: Private dining and milestone gatherings host comfortably in The Cabin and rear courtyard.
