Crush Wine Bar

My husband bought the Groupon for his parents Christmas gift. We ended up using it in February and we were so glad we happened upon it. What a great little wine place. We came in the early afternoon on a Saturday and it was empty. That ended up being in our favor because we got a personalized experience. Paul set up our food and wine pairings. He's extremely knowledgeable, as well as sarcastic and fun. We chatted with him and once our pairings were done, we had him suggest different wines for each of us. Paul has a gift for listening and each of the four of us (despite having different tastes) thoroughly enjoyed our suggestions. My in-laws had a great Christmas present and we found a spot that we would gladly return to again. A great win all around!

We came here with the 2 person Groupon and really enjoyed everything! The wines were affordable but of good quality and were well paired with a small snack. We stayed for an additional glass afterward. The owner was the one who served us (we think) and was very polite and knowledgeable.

Excellent assortment of wines from the driest to Rose's and sweet. Attentive wait staff (thanks Paige) and terrific value for tastings. $15 for four super generous tastings. Wines were TOP-NOTCH. The best part is I learned they are also dog-friendly!! Both locations are stellar. We will keep coming back, Judy and Paul! Thank you!!!

I stopped in on a Saturday night, i enjoy wine and have an enjoyment for wine. With that being said I was shocked at how little of a selection they have. They have a menu with some wines by the glass but no way of looking at what bottles they have with out getting up and looking at the wine on the wall. This place seems very cluttered and lost including the employees/owners. I hate going to places whose cooler or things at the bar are messy. (If they keep areas we see dirty who knows what the areas we don't see look like..) Over all we ordered some beer, wine and even bought a bottle to go. It sucks that they charge you $7 to open the bottle at the place. When we go out to a nice restaurant they never charge a corkage fee unless you bring in your own wine. Just seems odd, maybe they should start charging a bottle opening fee for the beers too? My last point is everyone we saw including us who had asked for a suggestion on what wine to get the employees always said the most expensive glass was the best wine. Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's the best wine.

Had an informative wine and cheese, fruit and chocolate pairing and discovered how food can change the character of wine. The staff was very accommodating and helpful!

Tried going for our first time a few weeks ago. We sat for almost 20 minutes without service, after being directed to sit at a table away from the bar. The bartender said he would follow us. We saw both bartenders take care of other tables without speaking to us. So we left. We will spend our money elsewhere.

Stopped in for a glass of wine on a Thursday, ended up purchasing a bottle because it was half off.Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Have been back since my first encounter and still impressed with the staff, food and wine.Highly recommend.

I've never been here and yet my personal email was included in a breach from this companies website crushwaukesha.com Not sure how they got my email address and I'm not too happy about the breach!

Owner Paul is beyond rude. I was attending an event for a friends open house at a small business next door, I am not entirely familiar with Waukesha so I parked my car in the parking spaces located out front that said "2 hour parking" and other cars were parked in the spaces next to me. I walked up to her location for the event (next to the wine bar).As I was walking up, I saw this cool wine bar with outdoor seating that I was totally interested in checking out since I love trying new wine! However, about 30 min later- I came outside and discovered that I was parked during an event that I was unaware of (lack of signage maybe?) for this wine bar that was NOT blocked off prior to me parking in the 2 hour parking spot. I came out and realized the city was writing me a ticket and immediately went to go move my car, no problem. As I went to talk to the two city officials and move my car, the owner of the wine bar, Paul, decided to insert himself in the situation (which had nothing to do with him), and yell across the parking lot for me to "move my f***ing car" as I was already handling it with the city officials, and before i could even get in my car to do so...My parking spot had NO bearing on their business what so ever. They just hadn't blocked off the street yet when I first got there. He could clearly see I had the parking ticket in my hand yet stood there on the sidewalk watching me with his hands on his hips like a parent scolding a child.Also- I'd like to add the fact that this owner wanted to make a huge fuss about the small businesses next door (salon) having a small grand opening/open house and tried to make threats and accusations saying it would "take business away from their wine bar" when the business next door offered to collaborate from the start!!! Sounds like a money grab if you ask me.Greedy, RUDE, and I will NOT be recommending this place to anyone. It's a real shame too because I frequent at casual wine venues often, so I can check this one off my list. I'd rather spend money at an establishment with kind, friendly owners and staff. If you're looking for a good wine bar- check out vintage 38 in the greendale village and skip this place. News flash to the owner Paul, word of mouth is your best form of advertisement buddy, and I will be sure to spread the word.

Wine pairing Groupon experience was amazing. Thank you Paul! We had a great time. Highly recommend
