Drink:
We are always busy tasting so that we can bring you the finest wines, best craft beer and tastiest sakes. Our extensive collection is brimming with Napa finds, old world charms and anything that sings to us. Whether you're a fan of longtime winemakers like Chanson from Burgundy, or exciting new makers like Charles Smith in Washington state, our knowledgeable staff and sommelier will help you find your new favorite. If you’re feeling adventurous, try one or more of our famous flights! One flight will give you generous pours of three samples alongside tasting notes. We’re always changing them up. Our selection of specialty beers includes local craft brew from ballast point, Stone IPA or if you prefer try one of our Belguim faves like Chimay White or Delirium Temens.

Cheese:
We carry over 60 different foreign and domestic cheeses. We will always let you taste before you buy. Actually, we encourage you to! Put our wide assortment of charcuterie, honeys, jams, and crackers to use, and pair them with your selection. Whether you’re planning a special occasion or a quiet night in, we can help you create the perfect cheese plate.

Food:
Erika Tucker heads our kitchen with loads of creativity and finesse. Her cuisine features fresh, local, organic products. Can’t decide on what to eat? You can’t go wrong with the house’s signature dish, mac n’cheese. Plus, our nightly specials are to die for! If you just have to have a cheese plate, though, our fromager Carlos is ready to blow your mind with his artistry and flair.

Music.
We feature live music EVERY NIGHT. Yes, every night-- beginning at about 7pm. Our lineup always changes, but Elliot will always be there on Friday and Saturday evenings. View our website for up to date music schedule.

The Cellar
Enjoy San Clemente's favorite cheese shop & wine bar restaurant in historic downtown. The Cellar's organic ambiance features a pet friendly out door patio in the heart of San Clemente. Come shop the large selection of gourmet cheese or join us for dinner and enjoy the live music. Lunch service will begin in June.

Vibe:
Our rustic chic ambiance comes from green design and the fabulous work of featured local artists. Old French oak barrels line the face of the bar, 100 yr. old barn wood adorns the recycled wine coolers and the large mirrors are salvaged window frames from Cooper Unions Science building in New York City. Custom furniture of concrete and recycled wood add to the Eco-Friendly environment as well as the antique lockers that house the retail wines. Our featured artist changes regularly, so come often and admire the new pieces on display. You can even take them home with you.

The Cellar is the ideal location for a meet up with friends or coworkers after a long day. We love hosting birthday parties, or any party for that matter!
