TAP Wine Lounge

I have just found my new favorite wine spot! To start, the owner is a ray of sunshine and an absolute delight! Every single wine here is a Black Owned wine and she is extremely knowledgeable about each and every wine she has in stock. This place not only has amazing wine and food, it's also all about the community, giving back, and supporting local. Everything is carefully and beautifully laid out and it gives such a cozy vibe whether you choose to sit inside our utilize their outdoor patio. This is a great business for the Sacramento community, I will be a frequent customer!

Let me start by saying that every single nice thing said about the space and the owners is absolutely true!! It is a wonderful and comfortable spot showcasing some local talent art wise and run by the most delightful and charming person on the planet. Cynthia took great care of us and made our night truly special. The food we had was delicious and the Cabernet was wonderfully balanced. Cynthia chose the wine for us and has incredible knowledge about her products. Where this fell short for us was with pricing. So much so that I actually researched and compared several local higher end restaurants with what we received. We ordered the shrimp which was $18 for 3 very medium sized shrimp. Hook and Ladder sells their garlic shrimp for $12 which includes bread and 9 shrimp. The Nook wine bar has their 6 gambas priced at $16. You get where I'm going here. We felt this was equally true for the small flatbread we received. The wine pricing is even more staggering. Most of the wines at TAP are priced per glass at the retail bottle price. This is bananas!! Their Riesling is $26 a glass and the bottle retails for $27. The Theopolis Pinot noir is priced the same for a glass as it retails for bottle wise - a mind blowing $45 a glass. I compared their pricing to Ella and Firehouse. Ella appears to charge about 1/3 of the bottle price for a glass and Firehouse is charging almost half. I just can't imagine how this will be sustainable. There is a serious lack of value here in an already crazy inflated world.

Got the chance to check out the new Black-owned wine lounge in Old North Sac. The owner, Ms. Cynthia greeted my party with the biggest smile and made an effort to check in on my group throughout our visit making sure we were content. TAP, which stands for The Artisan Pour, features Black boutique wines by the glass or bottle and delicious tapas from local chefs. Be sure to check them out before they blow up! I had the following:-Stover's Oak 2019 Reserve Red - very reasonably priced bottle, red blend (if I hadn't ordered three of these bad boys I might be able to recall the price). -Grilled Salmon Nuggets - opted for the lemon and herb sauce with garlic aioli. Didn't know what to expect but these little nuggies were so dang good!-Goat Cheese Fritters - no explanation needed, these were dank. The fruit preserve was the perfect accompaniment. -Fried Brussels - another winner. I have never met a fried brussel I didn't like.-Olives & Bread plate - variety of olives, served with cauliflower dip and toasted french bread. This item is not pictured because I was too drunk at this point. Thank you for the lovely evening, TAP. I'll be back soon to try all the other tapas and maybe limit myself to a glass or two of wine... maybe.

So excited to have found this place, and always love supporting Black women owned businesses.The ambiance is cute, classy, and cozy all at once. The prices are good, the food was delicious (definitely recommend the bruschetta and fried goat cheese!). The owner and staff were all super friendly as well.We came at the end of the week so they were out of a few of the wines, but that just means we'll have to come back again sometime soon!

Starting from the free valet service, we knew this was going to be a great place. The attendant was so nice! He even helped my mom out of the car and opened the door for her. We were sat in very comfortable chairs and given a wine menu. We ordered their Cabernet by the glass. It was SO good that we ended up buying a bottle! For $30 a bottle, it's a better option. Since we had a late lunch, we were not very hungry and the small plate food options worked for us. The owner and her staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and taken care of all night. Next time, we would like to have drinks here then go to the owner's comedy club down the street!

Amazing small bites and wine. The goat cheese fritters were amazing. The fried Brussels sprouts were perfect. Presentation on everything was top notch! The owner coming to our table and telling us about the wine makers was such a great bonus!We will be back!

omg love the ambiance and atmosphere of this place. Smells good, the vibe was vibin, the owners who are mother and daughter were so warm, welcoming and personable. The wine was great, the charcuterie board I ordered was fantastic. Definitely recommend

I've been twice in the last two months and enjoyed the wine selection thoroughly! The owner acted as a fabulous host both times and I'm telling you, her personality and focus on customer comfort is beyond welcoming. I'll be going by again next week to purchase one of the art pieces on display from local artists. I highly recommend this spot for happy hour by yourself or with a group. Looking forward to my next visit!

Owner and staff were very knowledgeable, welcoming, and informative.Ambiance! Friendly service! What a hidden gem. Great place to have an intimate and/or private event. Have added TAP Wine Lounge to my "places to go" list!!!

I'm so excited that this wine lounge is here in Sacramento! The vibe is cozy and classy. The staff could not be more warm and genuine. Every visit has been a different experience but always a good time. Whether its relaxing, meeting guest winemakers, or meeting locals from the community, it has been a pleasurable experience. The wine selection is carefully curated and beautiful to experience. Whether a local or just passing through, make sure to add stop in. Locals will have found a new, favorite wine bar in Sactown.
