Grafted is such a cool place! You walk up to a beautiful, old mansion with so much character and charm! You enter the front door and are at the base of a beautiful winding staircase. Keep walking and you enter the bar area with other rooms off to the side. The staff are warm and welcoming. They greet you as you enter and direct you to seating. I sat at the bar and at one of the small seating areas and both were comfortable and cozy. The decor inside is what makes this place so charming! Antique furniture, couches, tables and cozy chairs at the bar! There is just a warm, comfortable and cozy vibe from the building, decor and the amazing staff! They have a several page long wine menu that includes glasses and wines by the bottle. If you love wine you will not be disappointed! But it doesn't end with wine...specialty cocktails, beers, and more. Look to the board to the left of the bar for other delightful specials. I tried the coconut hot toddy and it was yummy! Grafted also has a small menu with cheese and meat boards and the best part...'Potato Pancake Goes on a World Tour' menu! (Fri-Sun only) These are a must try! There is also a patio space that looks really nice! I'm looking forward to returning soon! read more

New downtown Belleville FAVORITE! Just wow. Exquisite presentation, delectable food and extraordinary service. The atmosphere is so incredibly charming will be back! I had the brunch California potato pancakes. Highly recommend. The pancakes were crispy, snaked salmon in abundance, fresh avocado, plump capers and pickled red onions. The dessert flight was a perfect ending. Highly recommend the Mrs. Hibiscus. Affogato was excellent. Mushroom risotto was very good. Everyone was so pleased. read more

The hidden gem was the perfect place to catch up with a friend over brunch. It's gorgeously ornate without being stuffy, and it was so nice to be in quiet surroundings where we could actually talk. Staff were gracious, wine and brunch menus excellent and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back and try more. read more

Grafted Wine Bar & Lounge - Gorgeous sitting room - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Belleville, Illinois

Amazing atmosphere and the staff always recommend the perfect wines. Snacks are yummy- rotating special foods.

This place has such a beautiful rustic charm, perfectly nestled in downtown Belleville, surrounded by those gorgeous historic homes I adore. The owner has done a fantastic job creating a cozy atmosphere inviting you. The crowd here is made up of friendly locals, making it feel like a home away from home. Even though the bartender who I believe is also the owner was working the bar alone, she handled it gracefully, especially considering all her employees had called off on Labor Day weekend. Talk about inconvenient timing! But she managed it beautifully, and I couldn't help but be impressed. I cherish my solo time, especially when it involves a great glass of wine and a good chat with a local. Don't get me wrong, I love my outings with my handsome gentleman , but sometimes, a little time apart makes the heart grow fonder! I won't be in town this upcoming Friday as I'll be in Chicago, but you can bet I'll be back next Friday after work, maybe with a friend or two, for another relaxing evening here. Until next time, Sierra read more

Grafted Wine Bar & Lounge - Moscato - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Belleville, Illinois

Went on a whim during the Belleville Art Fair. The expresso martini is so good! It's legit

We stopped in just to see the place and ended up sitting at the bar for a drink. The owner was very nice. She has a huge wine selection as well as spirits and beer; basically something for everyone. The house is an old 3 story place. When you walk in there is a beautiful spiral staircase up to the 3rd floor. She has some beautiful furniture pieces in there although some of decor is a bit too flowery for me. We didn't eat there bc we had just eaten. They mostly have meat and cheese plates because the kitchen is small. They do have brunch on weekends. I would like to go back and try it again. Prices were reasonable. read more

Lovely place to unwind or meet up with friends. They have a large selection of wines and also small plates. They always have meat and cheese boards on hand but their appetizer selections change throughout the week. They also have signature cocktails, as well as unique cocktails. Everything there is amazing and of excellent quality. The owner, Magda, is very knowledgeable and helpful. She is on site the majority of the time, if not always. She has an excellent bartender, named Maiden (sp?), who is also very knowledgeable and friendly. There are several rooms in the house to be seated, or you may go out on the lovely patio, which includes a bocce ball court. read more

What a great happy hour, date night or girls night place. Many options to choose for a meat and cheese board. So many wines, bourbon, and whiskey options to choose. The place is an old house so there is seating in each room and a bar. Lots of outside seating for when it's warm. read more

It seems nice, I felt like we were kind of a burden on the staff by being there. It is a beautiful building and a romantic setting. However, this a nice place and a welcomed addition to Belleville. I hope it succeeds as a wine bar at Christmas in Belleville is definitely a treat! read more

SUCH a great place!!! Saw a Facebook post advertising 2 cocktails for the day and decided I must stop by and try... SO glad I did. This past lawyers office / old house has been redone magnificently! So many different cozy seating options. The drink was GLORIOUS and the small plate of the day was fantastic too! Lovely folks working there. Would love to stop in again and chill on the front or side porch in nice weather. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!! read more

Grafted is my favorite place for grabbing an app & drinks with my girlfriends. What more could you want?! They offer a unique and delicious assortment of charcuterie (meats, cheeses, and always something freshly pickled). Their wine selection is the best in the area-- you get to try new wines you won't find at your local grocery store! I love how special Grafted feels; each room is decorated with cozy furniture in this gorgeous refurbished mansion. Service is incredible, and I have never been steered wrong. So happy Belleville is home to such a classy, expertly managed wine bar! read more

Over the past few months, this has become our new favorite spot in Belleville. I'm more of a cocktail girl myself but hanging around Grafted has made me into a fine wine woman too, apparently. This place has an amazing selection of.. well, everything. Wine, seasonal beers, cocktail specials, and appetizers. It's located in a beautiful old house near downtown Belleville that gives the perfect ambiance and opportunity for anyone to feel classy. Lots of seating options though sitting at the bar is my favorite because of all the things you can learn about the wine and cocktails from the staff and Magda, the owner. Highly recommend trying out the meat & cheese boards and small plates while you're there - some things might take you out of your comfort zone but everything will be 10000% delicious. All of the cocktails that I've tried there have been fantastic but some highlights were the pear and strawberry mimosas and the walnut old fashioned. Check back in on their social media pages to see which cocktails they have - they're always changing and always tasting. read more
