Grafted Wine Bar&Lounge — Restaurant in Belleville

If a fancy ghost opened a wine bar, it would be exactly like Grafted.

This stunning historic house in Belleville is full of charm and character—from the winding staircase and ornate trim to the bold wallpaper and vintage furniture. It feels like you’re sipping cocktails inside a storybook (or a slightly haunted novel, in the best possible way).

I had the Ms. Hibiscus—a refreshing, floral gin-based cocktail with hibiscus tea, lime, and grapefruit soda. Light, vibrant, and just the right amount of fancy. The cocktails are fabulous and reasonably priced, and the wine menu is huge—perfect for any level of wine lover.

The outdoor patio is a whole mood: twinkle lights, lush greenery, and bocce ball courts. Whether you’re there for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or a solo vibe check with a glass of wine, it’s a must-visit.

I didn’t try the food this time, but I absolutely plan to go back for it.

Lord knows there are plenty of reasons to drink recently, so maybe you're looking for a new one?

There is a pretty fantastic new wine bar that has opened in downtown Belleville you are going to want to try. Beautiful old building with original details and nicely executed updates. A bar and three separate rooms and two small patios. The owner knows her wine and has a nice, atypical selection that's very reasonably priced. (By the glass starts at 7 bucks.)

There are a few build-your-own charcuterie boards (the owner is from Europe, so your choices are going to be different than what you see at Schnuck's. 👏👏) and a couple of house made apps that rotate depending on what is fresh at the farmer's market.

Very friendly atmosphere and service has been great. You need to go. (A block off West Main next to...

We happened upon Grafted by accident while day tripping and decided to go back and try it. The wine bar is located in what is, perhaps, the oldest building in town. A great history as a home, a law office, an apartment building and now a stunning wine bar and restaurant. The wine selection is very well curated with great prices by the bottle or by the glass. A limited menu but you will definitely find something to please everyone. This is definitely an adult space with intimate rooms and cozy seating. The service is fantastic as well. You should do yourself a favor and check it out. The space alone is worth the trip but once you sit down and relax with an awesome glass of wine you will be glad you came. Highly...
