However, the tastings are in small groups of about 8 people at a time so you can hear the wine descriptions and interact with the group easily. I ran into a college classmate that I haven't seen in 8 years because we were both running our mouths about how we liked the wine we were tasting. I wasn't a fan of the wines we tasted but I loved the Chardonnay I purchased as we sat around and talked. Conner was a great server and gave excellent recommendations. There are plenty of seating options, including a few couches upstairs. I will be back just to enjoy the atmosphere and have a glass or 2 of the Chardonnay.

This is an awesome destination for a girls night, bachelorette party, birthday etc. Ten minutes from Detroit and totally worth the drive. Free parking everywhere around it and lots to see and do in Wyandotte. If you've been in the fence about JBiRD Wine Bar, well, hop on down and pop in for savory treats and amazing wine!

Everything was flavorful and we cleared our plates. For the price, the food was really good and tasty. I also got the frozen hazelnut cheesecake to go and it was incredible. Definitely recommend it. The ambiance was okay, but there was a live singer with a soulful voice who really stood out. I found myself singing along and couldn't resist tipping her because she was great. Unfortunately, the patio wasn't open since it was a bit cold, but I hope to visit again on a warmer day to try the outdoor patio dining. For drinks, we got the bartender's choice mocktail, which was a really nice citrus blend and very refreshing.

If you could not tell by their name, this is an old Detroit Fire house, located back in a residential/ industrial like area. As you drive to it, you might think, you're lost or going the wrong way....keep going a pleasant surprise awaits your arrival. The interior design and renovations are really, really impressive and pay homage to the years of service as a firehouse, while creating a new vibrant, cozy atmosphere for diners to enjoy. This is a wine bar, no cocktails. And, you will not find any mass produced wines on their extensive list of options. Most all of the wines they offer are estate bottled, French style wines where growers control everything from the planting of the grapes to the bottle. It's an education, and one their staff seems so well versed on, helping you find something you will enjoy. they allowed us to sample a couple before ending on a really good Rose. We ordered a number of small plates which included: Sourdough with beillevaire butter, a generous portion of bread, served warm, soft inside, crunchy outside and the butter was the best tasting butter we have ever had! We also had the shrimp cocktail with horseradish sauce, 6 nice sized shrimp, firm, cold, fresh and very flavorful. Lastly whet they called a "tiny salad" it's basically a Caesar. This was also amazing with breadcrumbs mixed into the dressing, so flavorful. We would do all of these dishes over again. No Meal is complete without dessert; we chose the burnt basque cheesecake with Pedro ximenex sherry. This hands down is the best cheesecake we have ever had, and we love cheesecake. Our server was very cordial, helpful and so knowledgeable not just educating us about their wine selections, but also about their sourcing and philosophy on food. So glad we had the experience. We will definitely be back again.

We grabbed a spot immediately at the bar and perused the wine list. Our server was generous with letting us sample before committing to a glass. I tried orange wine for the first time and decided to stick with whites. A Riesling from Saarland hit all the right notes. For food, we ordered shrimp cocktail. 3 plump shrimp over ice with a side of cocktail sauce and shavings of fresh horseradish arrived. We savored every bite. Next up was the venison tartare. It was a unique take on the meat, mild in flavor. I would absolutely order again and recommend. If ladder 4 is on your list to check out, do not hesitate to go. I think you'll find that it's a very satisfying place to visit on a night out.
