Cellar 36 boasts one of the city's finest and most expertly curated wine lists. Beyond the exceptional selection, Cellar buzzes with great staff, great music, and great ambiance that complements the fantastic food. The dollar oyster happy hour is an absolute steal, featuring the perfectly balanced St. Simon oysters from New Brunswick, CA. Beyond the oysters, the sourdough bread is truly remarkable. The salumeria, with its standout mortadella, is a personal highlight. And don't miss the Catalan sandwich – arguably one of the best in the city. Its extraordinary bread, flown in from Spain, has a thin yet hearty texture with a unique bite, perfectly paired with a simple yet genius combination of olive oil, grated tomato, jamon serrano, and manchego cheese. Bonkers! Fernando runs the house and is there to provide encyclopedic knowledge of natural wines that elevates the entire experience. He brings the extensive list to life, describing the growers, grapes, maceration, texture, notes, and terroir in a way that effortlessly matches your flavor preferences. His expertise is a testament to the outstanding wines that they offer to their customers. Overall, this is a wonderfully warm and inviting establishment, the kind of exceptional bar every neighborhood deserves.
