"Apero is a small wine bar in North Center with a back patio and an approachable drink list, whether you’re a brix expert or someone who needs to ask Siri what brix is. The menu covers a wide range, from bubbly rosés to citrusy skin contacts, with only about four choices per type of wine and glasses priced between $12-$19. They also have a short food menu with small bites and a couple of entrees—the seasonal tartines are particularly tasty, like one with pesto, pickled strawberries, and trout roe." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Apero is a small wine bar (there are only a few tables and barstools) in North Center with an approachable drink list that’s great whether you’re a brix expert or someone who needs to ask Siri what brix is. The menu covers a wide range, from bubbly rosés to citrusy skin contacts, with only about four choices per type of wine and glasses priced between $12-$19.

The cozy space can fill up quickly with North Centerians, but that’s the perfect excuse to check out their back patio." - John Ringor
