"Come to this spot for evening tapas and more than a dozen wines on tap that you’re encouraged to mix. The menu’s infographics and tiny, emoji-like illustrations of fruits and aromatics will school you on their origins and tasting notes, and the bartenders are always happy to help you decide before they pour your custom concoction. Once you’ve blended your grenache with a mourvèdre, order some lavish cheese boards, patatas bravas, and other often lactose-heavy options to share and gear up for a cheese-induced haze. This place stays consistently lively both indoors and on the front terrace right up until closing time, so go ahead and ride that dreamy dairy train to the last call. There are two branches: we like Rue Mazenod for semi-inebriated chats." - anna richards
