Kid Sister is a charming Phoenix wine bar that blends cozy vibes with inventive, seasonal dishes and a curated wine list that feels like a culinary adventure.
"Kid Sister has carved out a solid spot for itself in the Phoenix dining scene, evolving from a wine-centric hangout to a growing dining destination. Chef Isaac Mendoza keeps the menu in constant motion, leaning on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients that turn typical wine bar bites into something more substantial. Past highlights include a beef tataki — lightly seared filet with black garlic, pickled mushrooms, and gremolata — and broccoli toast layered with honeynut squash, red curry, and cured egg yolk. The team of sisters Courtney and Casey Lewandrowski, plus co-owner Dej Lambert, regularly hosts events like regional wine tastings, reflecting Kid Sister’s growing influence in the city’s wine culture. Sommelier Zac Adcox guides diners through the evolving wine list, nudging them past familiar pours. Though the culinary and wine elements skew European, the experience itself feels like the next chapter in Phoenix dining." - Mcconnell Quinn, Chris Malloy, Nikki Buchanan
"Kid Sister is a great wine bar that’s swapped the charcuterie and cheese routine for seasonally rotating tapas. Think savory broccoli toast with red curry and honeynut squash, and fuller plates like the beef tataki zhuzhed with black garlic and pickled mushrooms. And they keep it simple with the wine list—it’s effortlessly scannable and features orange blends, chilled reds, and low-ABV options. That means you can spend time remembering whether or not your date is a dog person and if they like cream in their coffee the next morning." - Lauren Topor
"Kid Sister’s long-awaited debut in Phoenix does not disappoint. Helmed by former Valentine export Courtney Lewandrowski and her sister Casey, along with their co-owner Dej Lambert, the space is tucked away just off 7th Street in the former Wyld Ass location. Kid Sister is a welcome addition to the Phoenix wine scene, reminiscent of a chic LA or European wine bar, complete with a menu of killer bites by Chef Isaac Mendoza. Sip on a chilled orange wine and enjoy Chef Mendoza’s ever-changing menu of inventive small plates. Quickly becoming one of the most popular spots in the Valley, with only 38 seats, it fills up fast — so be prepared for a possible wait." - Mcconnell Quinn
