Faubourg Wines

We were in the area at the close by Saint Roche market, when we decided to walk a few steps in and enjoy a glass of wine. We almost walked right by this adorable wine spot, that seems popular with the locals. A very quaint spot. Walking in you get the ability to select a bottle of wine or a glass. There was a lot to choose from so it made the experience that much more enjoyable. I went with a nice rosé. Service was great, the environment was cozy and comfortable. I must try.

Large selection of wines, very knowledgeable staff. I came here only twice, and I did like the store/bar very much. You can buy wines by the bottle or by glass. You also can get beer, I think but the case. I am not sure about that, because I was interested in wine only. You can sit outside, inside by the windows or in the back of the store. It looks cute and cozy. First time I came, I asked if they had Malbec. Second time- Pinot Noir. They didn't have those wines, but as I said earlier, the bartenders were very knowledgeable. They gave me to taste different wines, I was happy with their suggestions. Plus you can't beat their prices-$5 for a glass of wine. The reason for 3 stars is, at my very first visit I accidentally was charged for somebody else's order. I called the store with the inquiry. Somebody was supposed to call me back, but never did. The difference wasn't much, I wouldn't mind leaving as a tip. In my opinion, it is not good customer service.

I really enjoyed our visit. We came on a Wednesday evening for their free wine tasting, and enjoyed it so much I think we will keep coming back on Wednesdays. Tastings are 6-8pm. The staff was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about wine. The area for the tasting seems crowded into a small area, so you don't have much elbow room while listening to the presenter. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that they didn't have a large selection of by-the-glass wines available compared to other wine bars we go to, and I saw a few tables with cheese and bread plates but didn't see any information on ordering one for us. They did have both indoor and outdoor seating available, but all the tables were full, so we sat at the bar.Prices were what we typically expect in a wine bar. I believe the total for 5 glasses with tip was around $54.

Seven years and 22+ check-ins later and I realize I had wrongly only granted this sweet local biz four stars. This is one of my favorite places in town and I'm gonna right that wrong.On my most recent visit, we were looking for a chill place to de-Carnival. You know what I mean. We wanted to avoid the Lundi Gras revelry and just relax in one of those sweet window seats. This place is a true locals hang. Yes, it's a wine shop, with a great selection of bottles (and quality affordable ones at that), but I like to order by the glass and enjoy the scene because there's always interesting conversation and meet-ups happening. It was a more quiet night, but there was a dog that we made friends with. I mean, he ran away from his people who were gathered at the long bar to sit on our laps! Never had that happen to me before, but there's the magic of Faubourg Wines. There's always something delicious by the glass and it's only 5 bucks. Where are you going to get a deal like that in town? My first glass was a sparkling red, similar to a dry Lambrusco. Apparently it was a rare bottle and sorry to say, that they are probably not getting more of it. I like that it makes things seem extra special. And anyway, you can follow that glass up with another excellent $5 red, white or sparkling. I cannot believe it's been 7 lucky years since they've opened shop on a sleepy block of St. Claude, but it's such a vital place in the neighborhood. I'm a forever fan.

I blame Covid for not being able to review the actual inside of the wine shop. But boy, have they figured out a great workaround that makes buying a bottle of wine even more fun than usual!They're taking social distancing to the max, but that's ok. You can't go in the shop at all, all orders are placed by phone or online. They have this cute online order form (you'll see) with a free text box where you tell them what you're looking for and they take it from there. So basically, you get sommelier service for free! I absolutely loved the hot-weather white they chose for me, so much that I'm going back for another bottle. The whole process is very easy: you order, they send you an invoice, you pay it, and they email you that it's ready. You pull up to the curb, call, and they set it on a table outside the door, completely contact-free. I can't wait for this pestilence to end so I can actually go in and meet these people!

Great space and selections of wine. By the glass prices are very cheap. Bottles mid range. Nice to have a shop that specializes in French wines and other European wines, rather than all California wines. Vibe here is very very chill and wonderful. Go today!

Perfect new business for the bywater.Wine, cheese, meats and liqour selections.Also try the New Orleans Rum ginger ale with rum added called Gingeroo.Then owner was a great resource for finding new wines.Me and my wife will be regulars here.

This is a gem of a place. They have a beautiful selection of wines from all over the world and they have several choices of $5 wines to enjoy on site. There's several choices for red, white and sparkly alike. It's a great place to chill with friends and work also because they have WiFi. They have cheese and crackers that they will plate for you as well as other gourmet mustards and packaged seafood. I love the ambiance here with the wooden tables and alcoves. The fact that it's a wine shop and a place to hang out is amazing.

This place is everything you want in a neighborhood wine shop! Small and intimate yet great for groups. The staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the collection of wines. The carry a great selection of cheeses and bread is brought in daily from Bellegarde. When you walk in get familiar with the place, look over the wine racks and if you have any questions ask the person behind the bar they will be happy to show you what your looking in the right price range. Wine tasting held every Wednesday!Great for first dates!Dog friendly ;-)

First of all, a glass of wine will cost you only $5. Doesn't matter if it's a Pinot or a Rosé, it's five bucks. Second, they have a plethora of wine to choose from so you're more than welcome to buy a bottle and take it home with you. Third, they also have an assortment of cheese and meats in their fridge (not a huge selection) which you can buy individually and they'll slice it up and set it on a board for you. A basket of fresh bread of the day is next to the cash register, ready to be consumed. Lastly, R&B hits playing in a dimly lit yet cozy ambience? Sign me the fuck up.
