Wine Dive Philly

By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor

Attended the media opening of a new funky spot on South Street West (1506 South St) called WINE DIVE, part of the newly renovated CAMBRIDGE Restaurant by husband and wife restaurateurs, Heather Annechiarico & Chris Fetfatzes. Wine Dive is Philadelphia’s first-ever and only wine-focused dive bar and wine shop. Featuring 20 wines by the glass & campy cocktails. For those looking for beer and cider they got you covered there too, both domestically and from abroad.

The decor is complete with Vegas 70s dive glam, Salvador Dali inspired graffiti art by Melissa Gombos, Rowe AIM 50 cent jukebox and a Spud McKenzie dog.

Take a look inside…

Here’s a little more on the Concept & Vision …

The 2,500 square space features a seventeen foot bar, seating for up to 50, one of Philly’s most instagram-worthy bathrooms. Executive Chef Derek Cantwell will serve up appealing neighborhood bar bites, sandwiches and salads.

“The name Wine Dive undresses the immediate image of wine. It is meant to evoke a feeling of comfort, approach-ability and a low pretense,” said Fetfatzes.

He continued, “Wine Dive is an interactive spot blending retail and hospitality in one. You’ll be able to walk in and buy a great bottle of wine, champagne, cider or beer while grabbing a drink from our list of wines & cocktails. We’re a funky wine shop serving up delicious yet inexpensive burgers, chicken sandos and big salads. We plan on offering a deep list of wine by the glass as well as heavy focus on cocktails at affordable prices.
