Thief Wine Shop & Bar

Such a lovely little bar nestled into the bustling Public Market. I've often seen others grab some food to-go from different vendors and bring it to Thief to enjoy with their wine. In my case, I just stopped by myself for a brief visit and glass of vino. I enjoyed their sauv blend! It was nice and smooth, not at all on the sweet side which I appreciate too. I was a little peckish as well so I figured I would try their olive plate to pair. They were tasty, but the crostinis included were a bit stale. Maybe a tad pricey for what you get as well.I'd certainly return here again, as it's a nice atmosphere, they have plenty of great wine options, and kind, knowledgeable staff!

Really helpful service! The bartender helped me pick out a few bottles to go while I enjoyed a glass of wine and the Marcona almonds. They have a wine club, as well as a solid canned beer and NA wine selection. Great place to post up and enjoy the public market.

Great little spot to grab a glass of wine! Owner was nice and let my husband and I eat our lunch at his bar while we also enjoyed a refreshing a glass of white! We will make it a tradition to stop here when we visit the market!

About last night. Attended the 2023 spring tasting and the pics posted are now a few of my favorite wines. There were 15 tasting tables manned with wine experts available to provide you with the background on the wines as well as the wineries. The event cost was $95 and the wines provided price range was $15-$70 with a discount for wines purchased at the event. Tasty apps and water were also available and the setting was the second floor of the public market. Bravo Phil this event was top notch!

Chose a nice cab from here to drink with my lunch. Bartender was nice and I got a tasty togo pour. I enjoyed it at a table upstairs, although Thief Wine has some nice seating at their bar and at a few tables. Nice people watching.

Nice and easy spot to grab some drinks and snacks while exploring the market. Lots of wine options and our server helped recommend something good

I've always loved Thief Wine and this location is on point. We popped in on a Friday evening and perused the Public market. Grabbed some desserts from C. Adams and then sat down at Thief Wine ate and shared a Carafe of Cabernet. We also ended up purchasing a couple hand-picked bottles of $10 wines noted by our server to be on point. The staff is always oh so helpful! It made for a very relaxing, laid-back way, to roll into the weekend and Public Market was busy enough to almost make you not feel like we're in the middle of a Pandemic. Wine not!

First of all the wine here is very reasonable! Of course they offer expensive bottles but, have carts of $10 red & white bottle... not a bad deal! Depending what wines you pick for your flight the price ranges from $3-$5

I would give less stars if possible. A friend of mine came for a glass of wine after work. The pour was supposed to be 5 oz. The pour looked very skimpy. My friends was measurably less. When we said something the manager said they were both 5oz. pours. A couple of gentlemen came to the bar and as the manager was pouring their wine he covered it with his hand thinking we couldn't see it. The glasses were filled almost all of the way up. We were both angry and said something to him. He said he over poured them. The bartender added some to both of our drinks. As we left the manager kept staring at us. I suppose being female means to this gentleman that he can take advantage. Milwaukee is always such a friendly city. He is a terrible representative of this city.

Bartender Under poured my glass and I questioned it. The manager said mine was correct. Then the manager proceeded to over poured two men that walked up next to me. When I asked about my pour manager said he over poured them but mine was correct. It was not. He then proceeded to keep staring me down. Literally giving me an evil stare. Will never, ever come to this place again.The original bartender ended up giving me more after she saw the way he was treating me.
