Now Open: The Allegheny Wine Mixer

Back in June, we profiled The Allegheny Wine Mixer as they worked on renovations of one of our commercial spaces on Butler Street. Now, the work is done and the wine glasses are full!

This cool new space is bound to become one of your regular destinations. They serve a great list of wines by the glass or bottle, cocktails, and six rotating taps of craft beer as well as a bottled beer selection. There are always a few featured wine flights and comparisons, and a $5 by the glass special.
Recent specials included a Malbec Trio, a Sauvignon Blanc Face-Off and  $5 Glasses from Portugal.

So far, in addition to the great wine and beer list, customers are also loving the cheese and meat plates and a Sinful Sweets chocolate plate.

Co-owner Jamie Patten says, "Besides myself and co-owner Lisa Walter, we have added bartender extraordinaire Dawn Gillespie who has started building us a cocktail list which includes some cool wine cocktails."

Unique art on display like a paint-by-numbers collection and Margaret Keane prints (she's the big eyes painter from the 1960s and 1970s) give the bar a funky retro vibe. 

Hours are Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday: 5pm to Midnight and Friday, Saturday: 5pm to 1am. Sunday nights are "Industry Night," food and beverage service industry employees gets 20% off their tab.
