Coast Wine House

Cute venue, not the cheapest. Small but good choice of wines and knowledgeable staff.

I’m not sure what happened to this place. Last year I visited Coast Wine House a few times over the summer and it was a treat. It was a great wine bar in Dublin. I love the location, it is a short walk from downtown. The staff were very attentive, knowledgeable and positive. The wine selection was diverse and we could sample any wine. I decided to go back last weekend and I was very disappointed. First off, it was Friday night and the place was empty. (First red flag) We took a seat in the back and it took a while before the waiter came over to us (around 10 min). We got water and I asked to try a wine they had on the menu. The waiter told me they aren’t allowed to give out samples. He said he would get in trouble. I was confused because this is a wine bar with a limited menu that rotates monthly. So I guess management expects the customer to know about the wine on their menu before they walk in. Their menu doesn’t even include a flavor profile for any of the wines. I spent $15 on a glass of wine and because there was no flavor profile on the menu and I wasn’t able to taste it, I didn’t like it. No doubt if I had been able to sample the wine, my date and I would have spent $60 plus there. But we split one glass and left. I’m sorry I hope this place changes and becomes great again.

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch celebrating a family birthday. This venue is a very cute little spot, with a cosy and spotlessly clean interior. We were surprised to see that we were the only guests on arrival but appreciated being well looked after by the waitstaff. Our waitress Ray was very helpful while we were being indecisive choosing a bottle of wine and allowed us to sample a few reds before coming to a decision. She knew each flavour profile very well and talked us through our personal preferences. She also was very helpful in explaining the food options and offering some suggestions to meet dietary needs. The charcuterie board, salad, olives and dip were all excellent, made with fresh ingredients and some interesting twists on cheese and typical bean dips. We had such a lovely meal that we felt like ending the afternoon with some cocktails - highly recommend the Autumn Spiced Espresso Martini. All in all, we had the perfect birthday lunch and will definitely be back to explore the wine tasting events! Vegetarian options: Our server was very helpful in talking through their vegetarian options and offering helpful suggestions.

Very friendly staff. They know wine. Cozy setting but limited seating.

Cool little spot. We only stopped by and had a couple of drinks. The wife liked the wine selection but only had a couple of beers to offer.

This is my favorite spot in Ohio! Also a great venue to have a small gathering. They do a great job catering to your event and the service is great, but there are a lot of hidden costs that aren’t explained before booking. The negatives are … you have to put a $75 deposit down for a small gathering space (20 or so people), but it wasn’t clear that it was for “rental space” which doesn’t go towards your minimum. The minimum was $400 for two hours BEFORE tax! So for two hours it’s over $500 plus $75. It was hard to meet this minimum with 20 people only for two hours! Plus, they added $15 per bottle for every bottle opened! This wasn’t explained well before I booked, so I wanted to share in case someone else does decide to use Coast as a gathering space. This shouldn’t steer you away - just be prepared to pay around $300 an hour all said and done. I will definitely be a customer again (especially because we had to buy a gift card with not being able to make the minimum), but we won’t do another small gathering at that price. That’s a little steep for a teacher. ;)

This was our first time here. A belated Mother’s Day celebration. We were told we could NOT sit at a table that seated more than 2 because “the place was small and walk ups might need bigger spaces for bigger parties.” We had reservations for 2 pm. We were the only customers present. We felt belittled and felt like we didn’t matter. We left immediately.

Quaint place with proper wine
