Stopped in on a whim before a dinner reservation elsewhere and so glad we did! The place was super busy and we did not have a reservation. The staff was very accommodating and made room so we could have a pre dinner drink. The staff was very knowledgeable about the wine selection and made a great recommendations on a wine I would have never tried. The inside is ADORABLE, cozy, and very clean. Definitely a new favorite spot.

Enter and you will be transported to another place. Hart & Cru offers something extremely unique as you walk through their doors and you leave Cincinnati and enter (insert anywhere in the world). The space and the people are very warm and inviting. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and treats you like you are family. If you are new to wine or have an experienced palate you will find something here and they will help you navigate the menu/offerings. Even though food is not the focus you can easily come here for a meal! The food is wonderful and compliments the wines perfectly. It is hard to describe in a review, go check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Cheers!

Great Customer Service! It's a cute intimate spots with a date or good girlfriends. Cheers to finding a really cute wine spot in OTR. We've been tasting some really good wines that are not sold at your local grocery stores or even your local restaurants. if you get an opportunity, this is a must see and taste, especially if you are a wine connoisseur

Went to Hart & Cru with friends who felt sure we would really enjoy it and enjoy it we did. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about wines and pairings. It was so impressive! Even tried a new food there for the tasting called caper berries - so delicious which surprised me because I don't like capers. If you let capers grow full-sized, they would be a caper berry. It felt like we were invited to someone's home to try some of their favorite wines because it felt so comfortable and intimate with the size of the place and the warm reception. We could hear ourselves talk and just relax. What's even nicer is that nobody there seemed pretentious at all. We would definitely go back.

What a gem! Unique selection of wines with a team that makes you feel comfortable making a selection no matter your preferences or level of knowledge. Great little bites and a cozy space that’s so welcoming. We love grabbing a glass and chatting with the staff about what they’re drinking/loving and exploring new wines. Love love love!

This is hands down one of the most defining places in Cincinnati, and that's coming from someone who has lived here for their entire life. Every single employee is humble despite being incredibly, deeply knowledgeable, the food is spectacular, the wine is impeccably chosen, the space is lively yet also cozy, the music is good enough that I find myself googling what song is playing so I can add it to my own playlists - Hart & Cru does not miss. I've experienced nothing less than perfection each time I've gone, and am already planning to take several more people there to show what they have to offer. I've never written a Yelp review before, but this place is genuinely THAT GOOD (and then some). A million stars and more.

A nice little wine bar right in the heart of OTR / Pendleton area. Came in on a Friday afternoon and were able to snag a table right out front. They have the street blocked off and have about 6-8 tables outside. The inside is extremely small, so I'd recommend coming on a nice sunny day! There was so much wine to choose from. Our server gave us quite a few recommendations. Prices are typical for OTR. Not too crazy expensive. We wanted to try some Rose, but they only had a few by the glass options. The evening before they had a Rose event, so they had a few bottles still left open we were able to try. The Rose was great! A perfect blend of dry but yet extremely smooth. She mentioned that just because it says they don't have it by the glass, to still make sure and ask. They have a small menu for light bites as well. Looking forward to trying those during my next visit.

Came here on a rainy Friday afternoon and had a great time. I think I would have loved it just as much or more if the weather had been beautiful! It’s super cozy, the wine selection is unparalleled, and everyone is knowledgeable. The small bites were also excellent. Highly recommend for a place to take colleagues that you want to impress (or friends that love wine)!

Nice bottle shop & tasting room. I enjoyed a wonderful Beaujolais before dinner. Service was great.In addition to several wines by the glass, they also serve a small selection of European beers plus canned cocktails.The food menu of lite bites ranges from Allez bread & oil to curated cheeses to artisanal tinned fish to caviar and more.It's in the Pendleton neighborhood of Cincinnati (about 2 blocks north of the casino).
