Really great wine bar and shop with lots of space to sit and chat and plenty of nice bottles to bring home. I love the flight pairs. It made it so much more interesting to try two wines right from the start and see what I liked. Wish they’d stay open till 10pm on weekdays :)

Had the most interesting night at Best Friends last night! David Lynch movie. Professional movie critic intro. Fabulous rabbit stew! Great unusual music. Creative evening as arranged by its owners. Subscribe to their email for upcoming stuff like comedy night.
