Bad Idea
Known For
Dimly lit natural wine pours with zero pretension attached
Bad Idea is a very good one — its moody atmosphere and instagrammable vintage interior attract both the aesthetically driven and the genuinely wine-curious. The natural wine list and dim lighting make it a local favorite for first dates and long catch-ups alike.
🕐Best time to visit: Just after 8pm when the room hits its atmospheric peak
Our Take
Bad Idea has a great name and a moody instagrammable interior that makes it an easy recommendation for a casual evening out. It's a fun, atmospheric neighborhood wine bar that's worth dropping into nearby, even if the sommelier-curated list hasn't yet built a reputation that makes it a standalone destination.
