Highly recommend this gem in downtown Phoenix! Such a great wine bar! It's self‑serve, so you can taste, sample, or pour a half or full glass at your own pace. They offer an impressive selection of local Arizona wines, plus lots of fun events every month and a fantastic wine club. The space is super inviting--you can relax on the couches, sit at indoor tables, or enjoy the patio right in the heart of downtown Phoenix. A perfect spot to unwind, sip, and explore new wines. read more

GenuWine is such a cute place! Tucked away in DT PHX, you'll have to find street parking or park in paid lot across the street. It's very close to the light rail too, if that's your jam. This place puts on so many activities, including a wine club, book club and wine tasting nights. There are also happy hour specials and all day happy hour on Tuesdays! My friend and I came here on a Thursday evening and took advantage of the happy hour deals! The wine is self serve and you can choose from a sample, half or full pour! I tried a few different red wines and they were all good. We also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!!! Warm and flavorful, served with carrots, pretzels and pita bread, I highly, HIGHLY recommend this if you like spinach and artichoke dip! The pesto pizza was also awesome too! I think there was an event going on that evening because a lot of tables were reserved, and it was very busy, but the staff working were all very nice and helpful! This place is smaller, but has tables, couches and a bar area to sit. They also offer beer. I can't wait to come back! read more

Love this place !!! Was so cute ! You get to choose your wine and even if you want to just try a lil sip they have that option as well!! The cheese board is what I came for ! You get to pick and choose your cheese and crackers and bread !! It was all very reasonable priced !! Cute date night !! Would definitely go back n read more

Great little spot! I popped in for an event, otherwise may never have found myself wandering in, especially given distance from home and the parking situation. Once inside, I chilled at the bar getting some work done over some sips. I ordered a cheese board with Aged White Cheddar and Brie and both were exquisite! They had the perfect kick, leaving me wanting more! I got them with the soft pita bread and honey, which were perfect compliments and a great snack! Be warned about location and parking. It's a little hard to find if you're using navigation apps. Several were wandering around the building until they found the door, which is around the side of the building. There is a parking lot across the street. If you're lucky, you'll smell the deliciousness of the nearby food truck adjacent to the parking lot, playing Reggaeton music outside! Be warned, parking is very expensive. I spent $34 to park for up to 3-6 hours. read more

Super cute! No true food options outs of bruschetta, but nice ambiance . I'd recommend

This place was awesome. I love the self service wine concept, they had a wonderful selection as well. I went on jazz night and the band was great, I believe it's the last Saturday of every month. Prices are very reasonable I'll be back during the weekday to sample the happy hour! read more

A great little spot away from the downtown crowds. If I lived in the area, I'd be walking there frequently. They host a lot of events to keep people coming back - happy hours, trivia, cards nights, live music, etc. What really keeps thirsty people returning is the self-serve wine machine and rotating options. You don't see a lot of those around town. Its fun to be able to pick and choose small samples instead of committing to one full glass at a time. to In addition, they have craft beers and ciders available too (in cans, no taps). Small light bites menu complements the drinks. Definitely a good happy hour spot if you don't have a large group. Space is precious here, the largest table fits maybe 8 adults. If you're able to remote work, they offer free wifi too. The bar/wine tenders know their wine and each time I've gone have been able to give solid recos based on what I was wanting to drink. read more

We visited GenuWine with friends to taste the complimentary wine offered by Flying Leap, a local winery from Southern Arizona. My favorite was their Habanero Lux, a unique, semi-spicy red blend infused with fresh Habanero peppers. GenuWine is a trendy, self-serve wine bar in downtown Phoenix, featuring Arizona wines and beers. With their innovative self-serve wine machine, you can choose from 24 different wines in a relaxed setting. You can also purchase the bottle if you like a wine you tried. They also offer a smaller menu for creating personal charcuterie boards so we also enjoyed a board while we were there! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and we will definitely return to try more local Arizona wines! read more

GenuWine is a cozy place to enjoy a glass of wine. The wine bar has plenty of cozy seats and tables to share a custom cheese board and sip some wine. The wine bar has a line of local Arizona wines and various others. The lady behind the counter gave us a card to insert into the machine and choose a pour. There are three options ranging from a small taste to a full glass. My favorite pour was a red from Arizona's own Caduceus Cellars which is owned by Tool's lead singer. We went on a Saturday night and there was live music out on the small patio. GenuWine also has board games to play with your friends over your glass of wine. Not to mention, you can buy bottles of Arizona wine here! read more

This place is so cute and fun to hang at. I only tried a few of the white wines and they were all pretty good. The only thing I would have liked is if the wines were clearly marked as to what time of wine they were because it's really only separated by whites, reds, and sweets. But some whites can be sweet so to avoid that, clear labeling would be helpful. Service was good. The woman working when we first got there took the time to show us how it works since it was our first time visiting. There is also a large sign above the wines that explains how to do it. The space is very inviting and cozy. Good music was playing. Can't wait to go again. read more

This is such a cool spot! Wine selection is always a pleasant surprise and the atmosphere is so comfy and welcoming. Great place to hang out, first date, catch up with a friend, read a book I could go on and on. There are plenty of wine enthusiasts that come in but it's never pretentious. If you enjoy exploring wine, want a chill environment, are into trivia nights and board games but don't want to over spend this is the place for you! Perfect combination of neighborhood vibe and elevated wine options. read more

The paninis here are fantastic ! Great deal with the lunch specials . Meagan was a friendly host, and I would return.

So excited to have FINALLY made it to GenuWine! I've been following them on social media since they opened but never made the long trip downtown. It definitely lived up to my expectations! I love the self-serve wine option. I was surprised to see a smaller selection of AZ wine than I expected, but I also understand many of the wineries have limitations on production. The wine dispenser machines are separated for white, rosé, and red wine with prices listed depending on ounces poured. Super easy process and great wines available! My husband ended up getting beer when he saw the massive selection of canned beer available. He said the Irish stout he drank was super good. The vibe on a Saturday afternoon was very chill and relaxing. It wasn't too crazy at all and very enjoyable! read more

What a true gem. Outstanding wine selection, trivia nights, pop up bookstores and more...they celebrate the local community, culture, and embody all that a neighborhood joint should be. read more

GenuWine has the coolest concept I've ever experienced. You get a card at the bar and from there, it's self serve from the many wine coolers. You have the choice of getting a tasting ($2-$3), a half pour, or a full pour. We went for happy hour, so full pours were $2 off. And if you like any of the wines, they sell them by the bottle for you to take out or even drink there. Very cute seating area and it was the perfect spot to hang out. They do events, like wine tastings and book clubs. We didn't get food but they had a decent selection of small plates. The staff at the bar were very friendly and helpful if you needed anything. Highly recommend! read more

Cool concept! Bar allows you to start a tab and they provide you with a wine key card that you can insert into into these wine slots and pick what type of glass you want whether a taste, pour or a glass. In addition, the bar offers create your own cheese boards and other small bites. The wine bar's calendar is full with plenty of options but we decided to attend the jazz night. Staff was super courteous and inviting! There is a small garage where they do validate parking. I had trouble with the machine and one of the staff was kind enough to come out and help me after I needed assistance. This is not far from where I live and I plan to be back! read more

First time visiting and it was such a great experience! We arrived pretty early on a Monday afternoon so we had the place to ourselves which was great. They explained how everything worked when we got there and it was all very simple. They provide you a card to use at their wine machines and you pour as you please. They have three different pour sizes so you can get a taste of a few or get a full glass of something specific you want. We ordered a few items to eat as well, a cheese board, the spinach dip, marinara flatbread and pretzel balls. All super yummy and great finger food to have with a group of people. They have different events throughout the month which is something to look forward to if you want more of an active setting, for example, they had trivia night when we went but we didn't get to participate since we were on our way out. At the end, you pay with the card you provided them with and you're all set! Will definitely be coming back! read more

The marinara pizza flatbread was okay... but why did it take an HOUR to get it? I think the concept of a self serve winery is a nice touch, but the hour wait for a small four slice meal was way too much for even my patience. :( I highly suggest eating elsewhere. read more

Me and my friend came to this spot for the first time. The process of this place is really cool and it was my first time seeing something like it. You hand the worker your card or an ID (such as you would starting a tab), then you are assigned a new card and number. You use the card to buy wine pours through a machine, all self serve! The vibe of this little spot was very relaxing and still fun. For a Saturday night it stayed steadily slow and chill. They offer a rack of board games that you can play and there are many options! The food is all little snack stuff, aside from personal pizzas. It was very tasty and you get a lot for what you're paying. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that they only offered one sweet wine. Everything else was semi sweet and dry as it was mostly reds. I am personally a sweet wine drinker so seeing more options there would be great! read more

I've been coming to this place for years, and it never disappoints. It's a true local gem with a relaxed vibe and an unforgettable wine experience--machine-pour wine lets you sample a variety at your own pace, and it's always a hit. They recently leveled up by adding an incredible food menu, and let me tell you--the lunch is next level. Fresh, flavorful, and totally worth it. Whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time, this spot delivers every time! read more

Specifically came here for trivia night on Monday. Such a cute wine bar, was greeted by friendly staff who were helpful and engaging. Love the self service wine area with plenty of options. They do have bottles for sale and of course I left with three. We ordered the hummus plate and pesto flatbread, very delicious! They have plenty events throughout the month, can't wait to visit again. read more

Took over 20 minutes to get any service. The server kept going to the back, saw me at the table but never acknowledged me or said anything

I was visiting a friend in Phoenix and she recommended we start our Friday happy hour here. If I lived in Phoenix, I have a feeling we would be on a first name basis at this wine bar. We enjoyed a lovely sampling of wines. You are issued a card and you can decide how large of a pour you would like. I liked the had a lot of Arizona wines to try as I had not had a lot of those. There is a large variety to try and the prices were very reasonable. Again if I lived nearby I would probably be a member of their wine club and book club and hang out a lot. read more

The space feels warm and helpful without being stuffy, and their food pairings, cheese boards, small plates, mesh well with sipping and sampling.

My new favorite spot in town! I love that there is always something new going on here, from book clubs to creative pairings (candy and wine in October or pie and wine in November!) to trivia. There's never a dull moment. Everyone is so friendly, too! It is a place to make friends. The people who work here are friendly, the regulars are friendly. It is just a great place all around. And how can you go wrong with wine on tap? They have a robust selection of various wines, from whites to reds that fit a variety of tastes. They also serve beer, and they have some specials, like mimosas or Blood Marys on weekends. Their light bites are great, too, and they have quite the impressive selection. I highly recommend the wine club if that is your thing. In addition to discounts on everything, including special events, you get a two bottles of wine per month, as well as a chance to come taste them for free to make sure you like what you're getting. read more

My husband and I visited GenuWine for the first time earlier this fall. We absolutely loved it here! The wine vending machines were definitely a new concept for us, but once the manager showed us the ropes, (can't recall her name, but she was very kind!) we quickly learned the process! There was a great and tasty variety of wines to try, and the prices were reasonable. The vending machines could dispense a tasting, half or full glass of each wine at various price tiers, with the lowest tier price being in the $1.75-$2 range. We also got to customize and order a cheese board with various meats and dips, which was delicious! There was plenty of seating areas, along with a good-sized library of board games and card games to play with your guests. We could easily have spent the whole afternoon here. After tasting a good handful of wines each, and ordering our board, we only spent about $65. This is a great spot for a quick hang-out, or even a date night. Highly recommend! read more

After following this cute little coffeeshop-esque wine bar on Instagram for months I finally tried it today! All I can say is job well done! The environment/energy in the place was amazing. The wine selection was so good I could have stayed all night and the service was impeccable! The self serve wine pour is amazing (it would be great if it was controlled by a wristband but nonetheless it is amazing! 24 wine options AMAZING I didn't get a chance to try the small plates or a charcuterie board but next time I will! I am excited to return! read more

I was really excited about this place, but was greatly let down. It's a self-service model for wine, which is convenient, but then you're supposed to tip 20% to serve yourself? I went on a Wednesday, and wanted the "bottle and pizza for $20" deal. It turned out the "bottle" was either a specific Chardonnay or Red. I asked to taste the Chardonnay but they didn't have any open to try first. I ended up opting for wine by the glass. The largest size glass is only 5 oz. but costs $10-11. I ordered a flatbread pizza and it was very small and was very thin, like a soft Ritz cracker. I initially sat at the bar, but as a bigger girl I found the bar stools to be very small and uncomfortable. I moved to an arm chair once it opened up. I think this place was overpriced for what you get. I do not recommend it. read more

The is my most favorite in Az so far! Feels like "Cheers where everyone knows your name" Very comfortable to roll solo or become "the ultimate wine enthusiast" Meet new people, play some board games, or simply relax and sip. Always a great time! Cheers! read more

Impressive wine selection and it's all self-serve. Charcuterie board looks great, but we didn't get one because we had just eaten. Stay away from Barcoa Agaveria!!! read more

I was invited to this spot with a few friends and was pretty disappointed with the service. We ordered a board which took 40 mins-nothing cooked. The bread was stale and not warm. I'm still shocked at the price. A bottle and a board that consisted of 5 hard pretzels, 1.5 slices of prosciutto and stale pita. A bottle of wine and this sad board was $80. If the board was more than a joke, I would be more satisfied. The whole table laughed when we realized how much we spent. I'm steering clear. The ambience was eh. read more

The cozy atmosphere is complemented by comfortable seating and the option to build your own cheese boards, adding a personal touch to every visit.

One of my favorite places to stop in for a glass of wine or three when I'm in town. Unfortunately when I stopped in late afternoon of March 30th there was a very loud, obnoxious and profane group present. The staff present didn't do anything to quiet them down.
