A short stroll down the festoon light-laden Bakery Lane will land you at the entry of pint-sized sipping spot, uh oh italian wine store + bar, the sibling venue to Uh Oh’s – The Valley’s colourful late-night pasta dispensary and cocktail bar. Small but mighty, this intimate wine bar boasts a huge selection of new-wave wines, exclusive Italian drops, craft beers and boutique spirits – all of which are available to drink on site, in the laneway or to take to The Valley’s plethora of BYO-friendly restaurants. Grape-juice lovers can pop corks off reds from Emilia-Romagna and whites from Piedmont, while suds-obsessed sippers can discover rarer Italian beers including Birra Flea’s unique offering – a beer made from thin air.
Thirsty folk can enjoy drinks inside uh oh italian wine store + bar, with negronis, Aperol spritz and other Italian tipples available to sip on. Those who want to enjoy their drink of choice alfresco can purchase a bottle of anything (that includes beer, wine and spirits) to take and enjoy in Bakery Lane’s open-air seating space for just a small $5 corkage fee. Plus, you can match your vino of choice with some tasty nosh from next-door’s Uh Oh Spaghettio, which serves up the likes of arancini balls drizzled with truffle sauce. In the grazing mood? Look no further the charcuterie platter, which is brimming with cured meats, olives, fresh focaccia and various Italian cheeses. If you’re looking to bring a slice of Italy into your abode, you can score an Italian hamper full of decadent delights and delightful drops. Think full-bodied red wines, truffle cream sauce, olive-oil anchovies, sardines and breadsticks. Your charcuterie board has never looked better. If the weather is simply too frosty for you to stay outdoors too long, you can order your choice of wine and delicacies on the uh oh italian wine store + bar website and pick them up in store.
