This unique wine bar in Cincinnati is close to the river, not too far from downtown, and offers a wide variety of wines that you can actually pour yourself! Take a closer look at this innovative destination that's, appropriately, perfect for having wine with friends.

There's so much to love about EMMA: Wine with Friends, starting with its location.

The wine bar took over this brick building on Riverside Drive and it's now a welcoming place for friends to come, relax, and enjoy good wine and good company.

The exterior is now defined by a modern sign that highlights this lovely brick building.

The idea of EMMA was created by friends and they aimed to provide a space that was comfortable and casual for people to hang out and experience a unique wine bar in Cincinnati.

The interior is, indeed, welcoming and has a variety of spaces for gathering with friends.

Grab a smaller table or a longer one and make yourself at home. You'll have all the wine you need, but you can also bring in food to enjoy during your visit.

The space would soon house a vast variety of wines, as well as self-serve kiosks that allow you to customize your experience.

When you visit now, you'll find walls lined with bottles of wine and an easy system that gives you the opportunity to fill your glass with what you like and how much of it you want.

You can choose between 1 oz, 3 oz, or 6 oz pours and you are only charged for what you pick. That means you can choose your own wine tasting adventure.

Guests have been more than impressed with the selection, so you don't have to worry if you'll find something you will like.

The staff is also friendly and knowledgeable and can assist you in your decision making.

An evening of wine with friends is a popular pastime and now there is a new wine bar in Cincinnati where you can do just that.
