Tucked away in a strip mall, about 15 miles north of Tampa, sits the ultra-hip Vine Restaurant & Wine Bar. Unassuming from the outside, any preconceived notions you had go out the window, once you step through the outdoor patio into the entryway. The relaxing décor will draw you into the huge bar area with over 50 different wines by the glass, and over 400 bottles to choose from.

The Vine offers live entertainment every Wednesday-Saturday, and is a great place to take the edge off and unwind after a long day at the office.

Offering appetizers such as bruschetta, summer rolls and spicy tuna; or entrees of rosemary crust ribeye, maple leaf duck breast or sushi; you are likely to find just the right flavor to complement your wine selection.

Happy Hour runs daily from 4:00-7:00pm; and features five different wines for $5.00 each, five appetizers for $5.00 each; and $5.00 grape vine cocktails.

Another interesting fact about The Vine is that they have their own 15-seat "Vino Van" which is used to provide rides to/from for their patrons.

Whether it's a party held in their private dining room, an after work happy hour, or a date night with that special someone, The Vine is worth the trip.
