Wine bar

Although the trend of wine bars in the United States was not well received in the 1980s, they began to gain popularity in the 1990s.

By early 2000, wine bars became very popular and started popping up in many metropolitan neighborhoods across the country.

Many of these bars are furnished with nooks and cozy booths encased in rich colors and plush surroundings in hopes their guests will linger.

The laid-back environment lends itself to a good socializing setting with a less crowded feel and more intimate appeal.
