Go for the music and stay for the wine. Or go for the wine and stay for the music. Either way, just go. With acts ranging from Arrested Development to Kat Edmonson, the intimate 200-person main venue often rocks, while the wine list in the Haymarket Lounge and dining room showcases more than 400 winemakers and includes 20 bottles produced in-house. There are also about a dozen sulfite-free wines available on tap, meaning your hangover might be a little easier to manage the next morning. You’ll just have to worry about those ringing ears from the music.
