Impressions

This cozy cafe just off restaurant row is nestled behind a wine and cheese shop. With only a handful of tiny round two-seater tables and three drafts atop a kegerator, this would seem an unlikely match for a true craft brew connoisseur. But what awaits in the cooler wall beside the deli counter is a pleasant surprise - a huge selection of craft and microbrew from all over the world. In fact, Vintner Wine Market claims to carry over 200 beers. The servers may not offer a ton of beer advice, and the setting is somewhat cramped, but a solid beer list paired with a grand array of cheeses, and an attractive menu of sandwiches, salads, tapas, and a hefty wine list makes this an awesome stop-in for a bite.

Vibe: 4 / 10

Service: 5 / 10

Beer Selection: 7 / 10

Other Thoughts: You can mix and match your own six pack to take home, and they'll knock 10% off the price. Considering there aren't any great bottle shops in the area, this is indeed a good thing.
