Knifebird Wine - Memphis

I came here with a friend and had been wanting to try this place for some time. We were there early enough for happy hour and we both had the house wine flight for $9. Three 3 oz pours of a red, rose and a white. I enjoyed the wine. I ordered the house small charcuterie board and it was very underwhelming. I was looking forward to what the chef was going to prepare, as there were a nice list of meats. But what I was served was simply salami. I mean salami? What happened to those other gorgeous sounding meats? There were two rows of thinly sliced salami. I mean, you could’ve given me one row of salami, and one row of something else. There were two types of hard cheeses, drizzled with balsamic, which were good. But not exactly cut to go on crackers. Three very small pickles, and four maybe five very small almonds. Plus six or seven gluten-free crackers. Very underwhelming indeed. For $16. My thought was, where was the rest of it? It would’ve been better if it was served with olives instead of pickles. The pickles just didn’t go with the rest. And some kind of spread would’ve been nice. Like a mustard. Or a little thing of olive tapenade. I might be back for the happy hour flight of wines. But will be sure to eat beforehand.

I was just a little underwhelmed. My experience left me feeling like the service and ingredients need to catch up to the prices.

This is a San Diego caliber place located in the heart of Memphis. Very refreshing to have a high quality bar to sit and enjoy yourself with delicious food especially in Memphis where places like this are rare. The prices are also very affordable.

Cute spot, with great drinks and an exceptional service.

Very fun place to grab a cocktail or glass of wine with friends before dinner. Enjoy a charcuterie board or bruschetta snack to hold you over. Highly recommend the olive tapenade! It is the favorite of all of my friends!
