Très belle place, accueillante & chaleureuse. Bonne ambiance, idéale pour date ou retrouvailles entre amis. Les cocktails sont excellents. Je recommande ce bar.
Beautiful space & the food was delicious. Staff genuinely was friendly without being overwhelming. The cocktails are delicious & prices are very reasonable for the quality. A great date night/girls night out spot.
Great spot for happy hours well past 7, & for dates ! I was downstairs in the "speakeasy", it was super cozy with cute jazzy upbeat music. It wasn't too loud. Cocktails were amazing & there was a great selection of non alcoholic beverages. Shared a few plates that were very tasty & very easy to split amongst us. The staff is super friendly & attentive to our needs!
Nice spot for date or place to unwind with wine ! The speakeasy in the basement was closed due to holliday schedule , but i wouls definetely return , i enjoyed my cocktail & food was fresh .
Great date spot, great spot for trying different wines. Reasonably priced. Came here on suggestion by a local. It was super happening. There was a live DJ playing electronic music. It almost felt like you were in a european pub, just lively & so many people hanging out with friends etc. Their cocktail list was expansive & looked very good, but we came for the wines. We had a dessert of the molten chocolate cake which was very nice. The wines were also great. The service was a little hit or miss. There was a gentleman there that was fantastic, I didn't get his name, but really knowledgable & warm. Our direct server was not the greatest, she disappeared for long periods of time & didn't really help too well when we wanted recommendations. Overall a super cute spot, filled with locals.
This is my top tier date wine bar, & Rouge Gorge has for me, the best sommeliers in town. I love how dynamic & *fun* ordering a glass of wine is at this place. I have never felt bad about my vocabulary or wine background here, & am grateful for everything the staff have taught me. I recommend the popcorn shrimp, & I dream about their salad.
Endroit très cosy, la decoration est soignée & épurée , les cocktails étaient incroyables, nous avons pris la PINA Colada & le Moscow mule ainsi que le cocktail du mois. Parfait pour un date.
