Residual Sugar believes that wine is for everyone, not just those who've been formally trained to swish and sniff a glass before tasting it. That's why the wine bar offers a space where everyone feels welcome, It even offers a glass for every budget when you come before 6 p.m. Happy hour house wines are just $5 each and house beers $3 each.

If you decide to stay for dinner, you can explore the larger wine list. It's packed with vino from Spain, France, Italy, Napa and Sonoma, and everywhere in between, so you should have no trouble finding a wine that appeals to your tastes. Pair it with a few tapas from Residual Sugar's list of gourmet bites. The menu encompasses small plates showcasing seafood, from artisan sardines to smoked oysters. You can also create a plate of cheese and charcuterie or enjoy a crispy panini with your vino.
