Top tags:

Rumours Wine Bar was brought to life from a vision that began back in 2019 in our living room. Dana had recently resigned from her Wine Sales position and wasn’t sure what she wanted to do next. She had always dreamed of opening her own Wine bar so we created our logo, our name, and our brand and simply followed our heart. We opened as a retail store in January 2020 and pivoted when the Pandemic started by creating an online store and offering curbside pick-up and delivery. In September 2020, we passed our final inspections and received our beer and wine license for “on-premise” consumption as well as a restaurant license. We have not slowed down since. We have won numerous awards from our local community including 2022 and 2023 "Best Local Cheers Bar." Our mission at Rumours Wine Bar is to simply embrace intellectual stimulation linked to wine in a relaxed and friendly environment.

If you want to watch sports on TV, don't go to Rumours Wine Bar. If you want to meet new friends and socialize them over a great selection of wine and nibbles in a laid-back living room atmosphere and be taken care of by a funny hostess, go to Rumours Wine Bar IMMEDIATELY!

A neighborhood gem. Great wine selection with complimentary nibbles that are sure to satisfy. Owners Dana and Jerry are always pleasant, very knowledgeable and engaging with a great staff. Local musicians a couple times of month always attract a lively crowd. This is truly become our "Cheers" bar.

Rumours is our local wine bar with a super welcoming vibe. They have great live music. The owners and staff are friendly and know their wines. You can have flatbreads or the charcuterie platter. Or even order Thai food to go from the carry out a few doors down, and have it with your wine. We are so fortunate to have Rumours in our neighborhood.

Went to hear a favorite local perform. Owners were very accommodating to my husband, who does not drink. Most gorgeous and diverse charcuterie board I’ve ever had. Ambience is cozy, nicely decorated. Everyone is very friendly, expansive wine selection.
