Get an Epicurean’s Buzz at Town Square’s The Grape

Across from the mammoth movie theater at the south-south-Strip Town Square open-air shopping mall, you’ll find The Grape, one of Las Vegas’ most sophisticated and, dare we say, reliably good wine bars. Because we’ve found Town Square a confusing place to get around, look for the big Rave Motion Pictures sign on the west side of the building (towards I-15) and park there.

The Grape offers numerous great ways to sample its lengthy wine list, which is helpfully organized for the wine-wary into eight, easy-to-navigate categories. Numbers 1 through 6 take you from light-bodied, fruity whites all the way through to the full-bodied reds with “intense, berry taste.” Category 7 includes sweet wines while Number 8 features sparkling wines and champagne.

All wines by the glass are available in either tasting-size portions, ranging from $5 to $9 or full-pour glasses starting at $9 and going all the way up to $18. Cheeses, charcuterie small plates and desserts are featured on a concise but diverse menu, and prices there range from $6 to $25.

Happy hour is offered from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and features $5 glasses of wine and $2 sliders. On Thursdays, free wine tastings are held from 6 to 8 p.m.
