68 Wine Bar occupies the main ground floor with outdoor tables on Commercial Street, perfect for al fresco drinks during Golden Hour. Inside, it has a classic, understated wine bar vibe that extends to a vaulted cellar in the basement, offering a distinct atmosphere for wine enthusiasts.

The bar's warm lighting and central bar create a relaxed, character-rich setting.
