Maybe the best hang out in all of Green Bay. It has a great concept: you get a card, swipe it at the wine station and pay for a taste, half glass, or full glass. They have flight glasses to use and the usual stemless or stem wine glasses. The atmosphere is perfection, comfortable seating, low lighting at night, a great place for date night or celebrating. I went here late on a Saturday and would love to go back and bring a small game to play. The service is EXCELLENT, she was very attentive, helpful, and nice! Go here!! read more

Aardvark Wine Lounge - Date night, wine tasting - Wine Bars Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

I took myself out on a little date here and it was incredible! The server was super sweet and super helpful with recommendations of their wine, the food was surprisingly amazing as it's mostly charcuterie style. The food was presented well along with tasting very fresh. Can't wait to go back! read more

A nice quite place to relax and enjoy some wine. The service was very welcoming and warm as well. The system, They give yo a card not unlike a credit card. There is a wall of wine bottle dispensers. You plug your card into the wine you would like and push the button for taste, half glass or full glass. The price for each is next to the button. At checkout you give them the card and whatever you drank is added to your tab. They have charcuterie boards and bruschetta boards for snacks. All very good. Not necessarily a place for dinner if that's what you're looking for but could be for a light bite. Price is $$$. For three we had a charcuterie board and two bruschettas. Maybe 4 glasses of wine for $73 with the total of $153. that included a 20% tip. read more

Small plate appetizers were excellent. Perfect compliment to the wine selection. Love the ambiance and the young ladies working there could not have been nicer! Whoever thought of a self serve wine tasting wall is a genius! read more

This wine bar is a gem in the middle of downtown Greenbay The wine on demand concept and pay with a card is not new, but in Greenbay it is. The wines are thoughtfully selected by the owner and divided by lights whites to heavy whites and light reds to big bold reds with plenty of choices to choose from You can have a small pour for as little as $1.00 so you can taste many wines and give your self a big pour of what you fancy Apparently they rotate their wine selection often so if you come back frequently, you can taste many more at a really reasonable price Plus they sell the hard to find wines at their establishment Another bonus is they serve snacks We ordered the Bilitong and cheese plate that was terrific IN case you don't know, Bilitong is a South African way to do beef jerkey- only it is not as dried out and it is more like a piece of overdone steak rather than shoe leather- really delicious stuff Next time I am in Greenbay, I will be back for more wine Cheers!!! read more

Soon as we entered, we were greeted! And they showed us how it works! Grab a card, taste test wine, or pour yourself a half or full glass. It's perfect for me since I don't drink large quantities so the options were global! They had food options. We had just wrapped up a steak dinner next door. I will try this place again. Highly recommend. We found this place by accident as we were walking to our parking garage. read more

Wine was solid - prices were ok and selection could've been slightly better ($25 for a glass of alpha omega is steep). Charcuterie plates were great as well as the macaroons - need to try the burrata plates next time. read more

Unique wine bar! Owner and staff were super nice. It is a smaller space so not a lot of room for larger parties, but if it is just you and a few others it's a great space. Enjoyed the concept of self serve wine. read more

Really cool concept but the woman working was very pushy to get us out at 9:30/10 when they closed at 11. That kind of ruined the experience. read more

This is a cozy wine lounge perfect for a date night or a night out with some friends. The atmosphere is calm and sophisticated. Along the wall there are dispensing machines with a nice selection of wine. You can get a 1, 3, or 5 oz pour. The prices are reasonable -- $1-2 for a 1oz, $4-5 for a 3oz, and $6-8 for a 5oz. Mitch was our server, and he made the evening enjoyable for us all! It is clear that the owner put a lot of thought and intention into curating a great wine lounge experience. If you aren't interested in wine, but want to enjoy a night out, this is a perfect place to go! You can try a few samples if you'd like, but there are also non-alcoholic options. I ordered a sparkling apple juice, and was very satisfied with this choice. Pros: -Nice atmosphere -Lots of options -Not too pricy -Fantastic employees Cons: -Smaller space (I do believe they have a back room that is more accommodating for larger groups) read more

Fantastic spot! Great wines, stellar service (Violet is amazing), good music and can't go wrong with the Brie and Pear bruschetta. Can not say enough good things about this place. The signs on the door ("hate has no home here" and pride flag) also make this a personal favorite when I'm in town for work. read more

What a unique and comfortable place in downtown Green Bay! We love the concept of being able to serve yourself the wine by the ounce so you can try many varieties. Very nice atmosphere. The servers were very friendly. We had the South African board which had a variety of meats, cheese, and a delicious chutney. We will absolutely be back! We would love to do some wine tasting events here. Great place! read more

Just hosted a baby shower for my sister-in-law at Aardvark yesterday, and it was absolutely incredible. The venue was perfect, the food was delicious, the wine selection was delightful, and the Aardvark team (led by Jillian) was so thoughtful, helpful, and responsive every step of the way. We got so many compliments on what a beautiful space and fun atmosphere we picked. Hope to have an excuse to throw another celebration here soon, and if not, it's an amazing date night / girls night location! I'd highly recommend! read more

Super cute wine bar with delicious charcuterie and amazing truffles. A must stop when we visit Green Bay.

One of the best spots for atmosphere! Generous portion sizes for food, comfortable seating, ambient lighting, good music playing- not too loud and not too quiet, plenty of good magazines in stock if you're there to grab a bite all on your own. Prices very fair. read more

What a great addition to downtown Green Bay! Aardvark is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a peaceful evening with wine and some delicious food. The neat concept to Aardvark is you "pour" your own wine. The bottles are hooked up to a machine where you can select to pour a sample, half glass, or full glass of wine. It's a great to sample and not commit to lots of wine, especially if you're not sure what to try. The staff there are very friendly and helpful and can make a suggestion for you. The prices for a half or full glass of wine are not too bad, it's the price of a sample that's a little pricey. It varied between $1.50-$2. Don't go crazy on the samples. It makes sense though as you don't get wine out of a tap like beer, so it makes sense that they charge for the samples. My friend and I wanted to try some of the food. You can get a bunch of small plates of food there like cheese and charcuterie plates, salads, and bruschetta. I wouldn't recommend coming here for a full meal. My friend and I each got an order of the tomato and basil, and the salmon, sour cream, and chives bruschetta. You get four small pieces for each order, and both were absolutely fantastic. The salmon bruschetta was my favorite of the two. Can't wait to go again and sample more wine and food. read more

Visited a friend from college a couple weekends ago in Green Bay and this was the first place she took me took. Thats because she loves this place and knew I would too. She was right, I loved this place! The interior design is fun and modern, the long benches by the windows in the front were so comfortable with seating. The idea of self-serving wine and being able to try so many different kinds was amazing! We had such a fun time! We also got the cheese platter which had amazing cheese options. I will for sure be going back here my next time in Green Bay! read more

Fun new place on Pine downtown with a great concept and fun atmosphere. You get a card, then go to the wall and select your wine (and how much you want - taste, half, or full glass). Good options for food (tried the South African Charcuterie which was delicious) and good variety of wines. Definitely worth a visit. read more

My wife and I stopped in this past Friday during Restaurant Week, and had a very nice experience. The wine experience was unique, with cards and automated dispensing for each wine, with short tasting notes posted above each wine. One thing missing, however, is the personal experience in dealing with a knowledgeable person walking you through each wine and your likes and dislikes. The food is definitely more on the side of snacks than tapas, or small plates. There are some unique South African tastes (sausage and jerky), and then there are some "eh" dishes like bruschetta (way to thick on the bread), cheese fondue (great flavor in the cheese, but it could really be saucier) and extremely overbaked cheesecake (good flavor, but terribly dry). One of the things we both had an issue with was the value of the wine itself. We are both very familiar with a lot of different wines (and there prices), and while the wines they had were okay, they were a touch overpriced. The service was fast, friendly and extremely courteous. The decor is nice, and the location is wonderful. It's a nice place to stop in for a glass (or two) of wine before, or after a nice dinner. read more

This place is wonderful! Unique concept yet still very comfortable! Saw live music here a few Thursdays ago and it was all around a good experience from service to wine selection to ambiance! Will definitely be back. Yay for new businesses in Green Bay! read more

A really unique spot perfect for a date night or gathering with friends! A great variety of wines to try either as a taste, half glass, or full glass. They also have a good selection of small plates if you're hungry! We got bread, dipping oils and some cheeses. The decor is really hip and in a great location downtown Green Bay. read more

I hosted a private event at Aardvark this week and had no idea what to expect. Lee, Jordan and the rest of the staff exceeded my expectations! The wine selection was broad enough, offering something for everyone. The food ... scrumptious! The atmosphere is so relaxing and suited for a date night or a gathering of friends. I will definitely be back! read more

The idea is cool. I wish the descriptions were written more clearly. We went on a Saturday night and it got really busy. The downfall is having to wait in line while people try to figure out what they want. read more

This is a fun place to go with friends. You can each explore different types of wine and get a glass of what you like best. The appetizers are amazing! I love getting the bruschetta. Tough call on which bruschetta is my favorite. I really like the tomato one and also the artichoke with truffle butter. Last night we also had the Scandinavian meat & cheese tray. That was great too. Great music. You can have great conversation with your friends and also play some table games such as cribbage. read more

Stayed at the Northland across the street so we tried Aardvarks, very nice. Decent wine selection, excellent service and delicious appetizers! Comfortable seating and low noise level as well, worth a try. read more

Jillian and Bradly did an in-house wine tasting us and another couple on a Saturday. The wine selections were superb and the commentary and stories from both Jillian and Bradly made the 90-minute event memorable. Setting up the event was effortless and the experience exceeded our expectations. We plan to do it again and again because it fit so well with what we wanted to learn, taste, and discuss about a variety of wines. read more

This has to be one of the most relaxing and pleasant venues in Green Bay. So many reasons to love it. 1) The first distinctive is a chip-card tab self service wine bar - newbies can get wine insights and recommendations from staff as they walk you through the system, but the bottle descriptions are great and appealing. (Something for everyone, but I loved the Pinot Noir selection!) There is a non-alcoholic beverage selection as well of,your not drinking but want to visit with friends. 2) The food! I was told "very tasty snacks" and that was the understatement of the month! I think 4-5 cheese board/charcuterie board selections alone. The Scandanavian is the most popular. The Italian was ordered by friends- beautifully presented meats and cheeses, nuts, berries and jam, with the most lovely crostini ever, and perfect amount of balsamic drizzle accessible but not unavoidable. We ordered a board with beautiful blackberries and raspberries, fresh pecans and walnuts, 4 or 5 cheeses and balsamic, and cristini drizzled with a lovely green herb infused olive oil. Another treat we ordered was the 4 crostini generously topped with slivers of bosc pear, cheese, almond, drizzled with honey, with tiny sprigs of fresh thyme. 3) The decor is tasteful and comfortable. Sound absorbing cushions cut down noise bouncing making it a calm venue. Music is well chosen. Enjoy Beautiful light from the wall of North facing storefront windows during summer evenings, and take in the growing-downtown-GB vibe during winter. 4) Visit with the South African female owner and hear the story of how this came here to Green Bay and feel good about the world. read more

Aardvark Wine Lounge - Self service wine bar, run by chip card tab system. Easy in and out payments. Decor choices are nicely done and create a good feel. - Wine Bars Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

This place is oozing cool and hip vibes. First I love the décor. Walking in a nice gentlemen asked us if we wanted private or communal table. We pick the lather and pulled up to the long table closest to the wine. Dangerous place to be for sure. We were shown how you get a little debit type card to place in the wine machine. You can then select tasting option, half glass or a whole glass. This is great as you can pay for a tasting of the wine before getting a full on glass of something you may not like. This also adds up quickly if you are not careful. I tried the South African Charcuterie and Honey, pear and brie on bread options. The later option came first and the addition of fresh thyme on top was not lost on my palette. What a wonderful bite of food. The Charcuterie was like nothing I have ever have. The meat options paired really well with the chutney and cheeses. We were pleasantly surprised to have more of the delicious bread to pair with the tiny pickles on the platter. If I was rich I would be here every night. You really need to stop in. I will be back to try more food options really soon. read more

What an absolute gem! My new favorite spot. We visited for after dinner drinks. As a first time visitor, was explained the self service process and was assisted with choosing a wine to my preference. Great products, people and atmosphere. You won't be disappointed! read more

Cozy little wine bar. Nice place to chill and relax. They have about 16 wines in auto pour machines. If you have never been to one of these it's kind of cool. You get a card to put in a slot, you choose your wine and the amount you want. You can get a 1 oz taste, a 3 oz or 6 oz pour. Food also, although we didn't eat there it did look good. read more

My wife and I went here for the first time, we had fun and the wine and food was great! So was the service

Right by my hotel where I stay when I get up to town. Aardvark brings something to the city wine scene that it had been missing before. The wine selections are unique from what else you will find in the area and the food options are a nice compliment to the beverage side. Definitely check it out. read more

i. love. this place! it's such a fun experience & awesome atmosphere! the wine is a little pricey, but that is to be expected and i wish the venue was a little bigger for parties or bigger groups, but all in all it is a great place to relax and enjoy wine!! read more

We stopped in a month after they opened, it's definitely worth a visit! The concept of the wine "tasting" and pouring machines is so fun. The owners were so helpful and gracious. We tried one of the small plates and the food is interesting and well presented. What a cute date night! read more

Great addition to Green Bay wine and food scene. Comfortable vibe, including common tables. Wide variety of wine to sample by the glass, half glass, or taste. The tasting amount allowed us to try a number of different wines. Very affordable. Offers cheese plates and some basic food items, but the draw here is a fun atmosphere to try out lots of wines with friends. Owner is from South Africa, so lots of interesting wines from there. read more

Lee has an awesome place in Green Bay. So many fun wines to try and the most delicious chocolate fondue! Highly recommend hanging out here for a while! read more
