Allow us to transport you to Europe when you step through our door! Our Deli cooler greets you with imported Cheese & Charcuterie tastes and smells, and our Wine shelves invite you to explore the world by glass, bottle, or flight. Have a seat inside our intimate Loft or join us for Live Music every Saturday @ 6PM in our Piano Lounge, and we'll guide you through our Menu of curated Boards, fresh-made Shareable Plates, Flatbreads & Paninis. Our Sommelier is available for pairing suggestions, and we also offer private Wine Tastings by appointment.

We're located in downtown St. Pete, FL near the Old Northeast neighborhood & Palladium Theater, and we are a dog-friendly 'hidden gem' according to our regulars. We are most known for our Cheese Boards, which we take pride in creating, and our fresh, locally-grown ingredients which adorn our Small Plates and Flatbreads. All items are prepared fresh to order, and we are NOT fast-food.

    A gem of a place. Not corporate and all the better for it. Tasty Tucker with superb availability of wine ( as you sit amongst the acres of bottles) great staff and just the right amount of music. The menu is not extensive but there is enough to entice you to stay awhile. The cheese quality is superb though and if you are looking for artisan cheese this is up there. Loved it and can’t wait to go back for more.

    Amazing evening at MUST Wine Loft! I was visiting a friend in St. Pete who happened to live right next to it and hadn’t been in. It looked charming online and did not disappoint inside. The vibe is cozy, the wines are interesting, the food was lovely (we got the pickle platter and cheese board), and our service from Jacob was outstanding. I’m not local but if I was, I’d be there every week.

    I've been a couple of times for wine and cheese and there are consistently 2 issues: (1) they are out of the wine on the wine list and just sub you for whatever alternative they have and (2) slow. I love this place and want it to succeed bc it is the only place I know that offers a plant based cheese board. For those with dairy issue, lactose intolerant, environmental concerns or Humane concerns, plant based cheese are a nice alternative to have. And I love that these cheeses are curated from all over the country. What I don't like is how long it can take to get a cheeseboard. I mean really how long does it take to cut the cheese.... Anyway. The quickest turnaround time for a cheese board here is 30 mins. The longest we have waited was 1 hour. And yes each time was just a cheeseboard. They are also one of the few wine bars that offers wines from the Country of Georgia - who were the actual inventors of wine that the French improved. So I would recommend checking it out, just be prepared to wait.

    Such a great experience- so many imported wines and cheeses. Charcuterie boards & paired wine flights are ON POINT, staff was excellent & educated on everything they offer. Listen to their suggestions, and trust the process! They do not disappoint! Special shout-out to Jacob! Thank you! You made the whole experience amazing!

    The place is really nice, decorated with taste. The food is good, but overpriced. We had a board to share for $38, it was probably the same as the one they serve for one person. It took forever to get served. 8 clients in the restaurant, 4 waitresses, 45 min to get a board of cheese and deli... nice people though. We joked with my husband that they were probably milking the goats in the kitchen, hence it was taking so long... Wines are good and reasonably priced. I didn't like they came with the check with a 25% gratuity preset on the payment device. I reset it to 20% and I think it was generous for what we had. Overall, pretty place, poor service, overpriced. I don't think we will go back.

    Your negative Review hit home for me since I was one of the "waitresses" who helped you, while also attending to guests who were part of a 4-course Wine Dinner, which was happening beside you. Jokes are great when funny, but there was an entire room with 20+ other guests dining next door, so you were not seeing the full picture of our service demands. It was NOT "8 clients in the restaurant, 4 waitresses". Our Boards are priced for Petit & Shareable: Petit is for one person as a meal or for two as an app, and Shareable is for two as a main or up to four can share as an app. We have since added the total ounces for each Board to our Menu, to further explain the sizes. They ARE the same Board otherwise, priced by portion, which is determined by product cost to us. Good Cheese isn't cheap.

    What a quaint little gem! Love this place. Mack is well versed in everything about this place. The food was delicious. The choices were fabulous. Even tho it was NOT raining when we left our home, it was a torrential downpour when we arrived, we enjoyed ourselves so much. Found a new favorite wine as well. Go there, you must experience this wine bar.

    MUST wine loft is a gem. They have a great happy hour that includes a list of appetizers. I tried two different flights (without the cheese pairing) and both were delicious. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. This is a small space with limited seating, I would definitely recommend making reservations. I loved MUST and will definitely return soon.

    Great cute and small quaint place. Great options to choose from as well. Employees were really kind, although service was extremely slow for it to be empty. Found a lack of professionalism that the employees were eating and drinking out in the open. Don’t know if that’s the sort of vibe but you should still put your patrons first. Would definitely come again for a glass of wine!
