The Bohemian: A Wine Bar

Relaxed and Affordable

September 20, 2019 Amateur Consumption

When I first heard about the new wine bar in Plaza Midwood called The Bohemian I was thrilled! I felt like it was just what Plaza needed, a casual wine bar where I didn't need to take a loan out for a bottle of wine. When we went in the other night with some friends it did not disappoint.

Walking in the bar was full, but we were still able to get seats easily. The one wall was lined with bottles to browse, while there were tables and a bar on the other side. There also were a few comfy lounge areas.

We picked up a bottle of Valpolicella Ripasso to split among the 4 of us. When my husband mentioned wanting to get an Old World bottle under $30 there was a ton to choose from. The best part? No corkage fee.

The Bohemian boasts a small food menu consisting of flatbreads, salads, and plenty of meat and cheese. You can get a snack starting at just $4! While I personally recommend getting a bottle of wine since they start at just $15, you can find a glass of wine for just $6-7.

The Bohemian is more laid back than your typical wine bar. Patrick also filled us in on the background of The Bohemian and as he put it,

We won't silently judge your wine selection because it doesn't perfectly pair with the cheese you ordered. And we won't roll our eyes when you mispronounce 'Cotes du Rhone.' ... Our GM, Harry, has the best palate in the building. He'll help you pick the perfect bottle. And Adam, our Kitchen Manager, is cranking out some killer stuff. He's responsible for those Godfather cheese and charcuterie boards everyone loves so much. I got the idea for the name in Cuzco, Peru at a coffee shop called 'La Bo'M.' I knew I wanted to do a wine bar and the bright, eclectic, warm atmosphere of La Bo'M really helped me solidify the vision for the space.

We highly recommend checking this place out ASAP!
