Massive selection of vinyls which per their sign they get to pick the music and you get to pick the wine. We enjoyed our complimentary wine as provided by our boutique hotel Douglas on Third. Attentive service. read more

They have a great wine selection and friendly service. We tried some snacks and those were good too. They have an amazing lighting fixture above the bar that you should see. read more

HiFi Wine Bar - Inside - Wine Bars Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

I am a former restaurant owner and I work in the wine industry, and I can confidently say the policies at Hi Fi Wine Bar are completely absurd and nowhere near industry standard. I've never been to a wine bar or restaurant that refuses to let guests taste wines before committing to a full pour, especially at their price point. Yet the bartender here would not allow us to taste anything. Since tasting wasn't permitted, I asked him about the wines to help guide our choices, and he still couldn't answer basic questions. The few descriptions he offered were inaccurate, and we ended up purchasing wine we didn't enjoy at an overpriced rate, which is exactly why tasting is standard practice in this industry. To make matters worse, the bartender had an attitude and was not friendly or welcoming. With so many great wine bars in walking distance, you'd expect a higher level of customer service. Clearly that's not a priority here. And one more strange detail: they advertise that they have records, but you are not allowed to pick the records they play... Overall an incredibly disappointing visit. I wouldn't recommend this place when there are so many better options nearby. read more

Fun little spot open late, nice place to close the night out. Service was ok. Interesting deviled eggs.

We were recommended HiFi Wine Bar from a few different winemakers during our wine tastings so we were eager to try them out. They're located in downtown McMinnville and happened to be walking distance from our hotel, but there was definitely plenty of street parking nearby. The wine bar had an upscale ambience but was inviting and cozy as well. The interior was a fun marriage of curated art, vinyl selection, and (obviously) wine. They had a very extensive wine list from all around the world (by the glass and full bottles) and offered a tapas-style food & dessert menu. Their prices were very reasonable and the staff was helpful in providing recommendations. After a day of tastings we didn't have a lot of room left but were happy with the glasses of Aligote burgundy and Cantino del Pino nebbiolo to end our evening. FYI during the day, we were told that this location also serves as a tasting room for Martin Woods, a local winemaker. Will definitely be back when we're in town and highly recommend to others looking for a lovely wine bar experience! read more

GREAT vibes and knowledge staff! This is our go to spot for a delicious glass of wine and to listen to some tunes. We love popping in to taste the bonus pour each week. read more

HiFi is sort of my ideal wine bar. Great atmosphere - cool without being pretentious. Amazing wine list, local as well as overseas. Delicious food. Amazing DJ. I'm not a local even though most of the customers there seemed to be, but they treated me with grace and respect. I'd seek this place out if I were ever in the area again. Top notch. read more

I get why HiFi Wine Bar only has 4 reviews; it's located in McMinnville and not situated anywhere relevant (sorry McMinnville). But this place (I'm not sure what to call it) is part wine bar, part lounge, part restaurant, all cool, and a breath of fresh air in a prosaic/prototypical-cater-to-wine environment. The wine list is extensive with diverse selection from around the globe. It felt the prices were a smidge high but probably keeping up with all the tasting rooms. And because wines in Oregon have gone the way of Sonoma circa 2000's. The food was delicious. The magic that's created in the corner is surprising and amazing. Definitely order the wine pairings because it's wine country. The tracks where on point the night we were there. Upbeat yet mellow without being intrusive - having a conversation without shouting. read more

Soo modern with a hip interior going on. Very different from any other wine bar I've been to. Wine selection is great. Usually most bars have a lot of regional wine, but they have a lot of international wines. I had a french wine 'Sancerre 2015', was fruity with a great body. To the side of the bar there is pool table for when you are feeling competitive. They have several up comming events such as DJ and live jazz. Check their page out! @hifiwinebar read more

New and friendly staff. Nice place and will be returning good place to catch up with friends

Sitting at the bar having some great bites and great wine! A bit down the street from many of the tasting rooms but worth the walk. Great wine selection, an exceptional chef and did I mention vinyl records on the turntables? Very cool music. The salmon crudo and summer gratin are awesome. Highly recommend! read more

This place was so cool. Great wines, awesome music and the staff was incredible. Davis and Ben are super knowledgeable giving great recommendations and made us feel very welcome. Davis also not only gave us a great recommendation for a tasting experience in Willamette Valley and even called ahead to let the somme there know we were on our honeymoon and to take special care of us. Definitely check this place out. We would live there if we were from the area. read more

HiFi Wine Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

Cool spot to swing by after wine tasting. Vinyl spinning and small bites is fantastic

We dropped in expecting good design and interesting music, along with good local wine. We got mediocre design, DJ'd music meant for night clubs, and wine from around the world. Creating a space to taste wine that is different than the typical low budgy wine rooms that plague McMinnville is a great idea. HiFi heads in the right direction, however it has the feel of really wanting to be a night club. And maybe that's what HiFi really is, a wine focused night club for local winery workers to cut loose. I personally feel McMinnville would benefit from a well designed wine bar focused on local wines with a curated musical experience that doesn't overwhelm you so you can relax and have great conversations, and maybe even live music! One idea that DOES work to create a great audio experience are the acoustic panels in the ceiling, a basic design feature most restaurants and bars seem to ignore. read more

HiFi Wine Bar - a man standing at the bar - Wine Bars Near Me - McMinnville, Oregon

I wish I could give it a higher rating. Cool idea, good wine list. My husband and I visited tonight. To be honest, I could not tell who worked there, and who were friends of the employees. Random men going behind the bar, grabbing wine, yet not serving others. I could not tell if there was a special event happening, or just a big friend hang out, and everyone was getting free champagne from one of those giant champagne bottles that one of the employees kept pulling out of the wine fridge and bragging about. My husband and I were mostly ignored while the clique all entertained each other, and shared wine. The waiter who brought our food just sat it down in front of us, while others who ordered sharing boards like we did got all the details on what was on their boards, we got no details. Again, everyone obviously knew each other, but this atmosphere was not welcoming in any way whatsoever, completely unprofessional, and not worth the high price tag. Would not go again, do not recommend. read more

I felt seen! Between the amazing album covers, DJ setup, wine and nosh, it was all spot on. Beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. The kind of experience you're looking that's both refined and relaxed, not sure what that means, check it out and you'll know. read more

When the Thai restaurant next door didn't offer seating, either indoor or outdoor, we inquired if we could eat at the sidewalk tables. Paul thanked us for inquiring and recommended a rose' that would pair nicely with our meal. This combination far exceeded our expectations! Wonderful stop! Actually, finished our meal outside and went in for another glass of wine to finish off our excellent meal! read more

Wonderful place to go. Happy to have it in town. Beer and wine are excellent. Food is very good also
