"Located above the Good King Tavern is a cozy wine bar for folks who love to nerd out about wine. Le Caveau offers a wine list loaded with unique vintages and natural wines that pair well with their small but mighty snack menu featuring chips and roe as well as a daily selection of cheese and charcuterie. For an extra flavorful expedition for your taste buds, stop by on Thursday nights at 5 p.m. for Night Class (until one of each of the selected bottles is poured) and Study Group that is usually on the first Thursday of each month." - Tierney Plumb, Ernest Owens
"Le Caveau is the wine bar you wish existed on your block: the staff knows their sh*t, glasses never stay empty for long, and the room is busy without rattling your eardrums. To get in, look for the door next to their sister spot The Good King Tavern on 7th and Kater, and walk up a flight of stairs. Expect a (primarily) natural wine list that highlights (primarily) French producers. They also stuff a wiener and some mustard in a hollowed-out baguette and call it a French hot dog. Get one." - candis mclean
"Le Caveau is the wine bar you’ve always wanted in your neighborhood—it’s somewhere you can walk in on a Thursday night and your week will instantly improve just by being there. The dark, second-floor spot is right above The Good King Tavern, and their wine list is primarily made up of natural bottles, divided between “France” and “Not France.” There’s also a short menu of bar snacks like a very good hot dog in a baguette." - alison kessler
"Chloe Grigri’s moody, French-inspired South Street District bar and wine shop sells a wide selection of small-production, low-intervention wines. They’re particularly fun to try during special events and classes with themes such as women winemakers and rules of riesling. Be warned: Le Caveau, which sits above sibling restaurant the Good King Tavern, takes walk-ins only, and its recent recognition as a semifinalist for a James Beard Award can only increase its popularity." - Carolyn Desalu, Noelle Allen
"The wine bar Le Caveau is on the list for outstanding bar." - Missy Frederick
