Padre’s Wine Shop + Bar

Padre’s is to a wine shop what a mullet is to a hairstyle: business in the front, and party in the back. The relaxed, modern Heights spot transforms from a fully-stocked wine shop into a lounge-y wine bar with a spacious, umbrella-dotted patio. Along with wine by the glass or bottle, Padre’s offer food like raw oysters, a fried bologna sandwich, osetra caviar, and a wagyu burger, among other things. Most weekends, Padre’s is packed with bachelorette parties, bridal showers, and anyone who needs somewhere to decompress (with alcohol) after brunch. Throw back a couple glasses on a date, or grab a bottle to-go.
