ABOUT NOBODY'S
Nobody's is an elevated wine bar experience seeking to provide a world-class wine list and hospitality in a thoughtfully designed space with a causal and unprentious vibe. We pour over thirty wines by the glass ranging from $10 to over $100 dollars (most selections will be under $16 dollars). Our opening wine list will have approximately 100-150 additional skus. While grounded in the classics, we are giving special attention to underappreciated wine regions, "obscure" grape varities, and under-the-radar producers from established regions. We are also building a rare beer list and feature cider from around the world. Eventually, we will expand into offering regularly scheduled wine classes for the community.
