Reviews of Maiden Lane Wine & Spirits (Winery)

Aja Swarts

Maiden Lane sets the bar extremely high in everything they do. The wine & cocktails, the food & snacks, the design of the bar & bottle shop, the atmosphere, the service, even the merch! It’s all perfect. Love this place so much.

Maiden Lane is one of my favorite bars in the city, Tyler was our server on this occasion, brought some friends from out of province and was giving Maiden high praise the entire time. We stopped by for a quick drink and Tyler gave us all great suggestions to each of our tastes. Bartenders are great, servers are great, and the food I have tried here has also been very unique. Can't go wrong with this spot, one of windsors finest.

Hyder Ali Khan

Great patio and ask for Amanda she was a great server and provided amazing suggestions for drinks.

Bryce Dymond

The dopest establishment for a drink in Windsor and maybe even all of Southwest Ontario. I once drove 3 hours to meet a friend for a drink because I wanted to thoroughly enjoy my evening and could think of no better place in the region. The staff are professional and knowledgeable. Fantastic beer list and quality cocktails.

Steve C

Great drinks and great atmosphere. Perfect spot for a date or hang out and talk with friends. Not too loud.

Sydney Dana

Such a cute/classy spot! The wine list is impeccable of course. I will be back!

Frantically rush over to Maiden Lane Wine & Spirits and get ready for a relentless assault on your gustatory and olfactory systems while wallowing in unparalleled hospitality. Try not to think about how entirely undeserving you are of such treatment because it doesn't matter! Owners Mark and Sarah endeavor to make you feel at home by creating an elegant and accommodating atmosphere. I like to saunter in about 10 minutes before closing time and have Mark make me a caesar. I don't even like caesars but I know how much he enjoys serving them. I then ask Sarah to whip me up a batch of her famous chicken whispers, which she does with much enthusiasm. That's followed by a brief period where I ask the remaining patrons for their addresses before I'm asked to cool it, so I make a quick 45 minute trip to the bathroom before re-emerging to send back my ice cold chicken whispers. Never gets old! All in all I would rate this place 99/100! I had to deduct a point for the lack of a cigarette vending machine. Sophistication TO THE MAX. Dig it.

Jacob Matthews

Great drinks, fantastic service. Patio is relaxed, far enough away from street traffic, and surrounded by murals. Would definitely recommend! Ask for Amanda, she made wonderful suggestions.

Chip Arnaldo

Great ambience and delicious drinks. Finally, another cocktail bar in the downtown core to compliment the Blind Owl.

Georgina Burns

One of my favourite places in the city!

Janer Akkas

The servers are great. Environment is great. Just delighted with the cocktails we got.

Dean “Professor Zaaa” Litster

Incredibly delicious craft cocktails. You can feel and taste the passion that lives within Mark, and his ability to inspire his other bartenders. If you are looking for a top notch cocktail do not overlook this place. Trust me. You won't be disappointed. From housemade bitters, to their amazing charcuterie boards. They cut no corner. The attention to detail is very apparent.

Very comfortable, moody atmosphere with attentive staff. I had two especially fruity cocktails and split a charcuterie board, all of which were delicious. I look forward to going back!

I can't recommend this place enough; it's a new Windsor favorite FOR SURE!! I came for the Absinthe, I'll return for the staff....and the atmosphere...and the delicious 'snacks' (which are absolutely substantial enough to make a dinner of!)...anddd the Absinthe ????‍♂️ Great wine list, amazing craft cocktails, and good music playing! Alex was awesome. 10/10 will do again!!!

Maiden Lane is something special. We sat on the patio surrounded by murals but I’m excited to go back and hang out in the dark and cozy bar space. We tried the strawberry negroni, Bi-Yu, and Seoul to Soul. Every drink was made with such care (thank you, Mackenzie) and served up with some much appreciated social interaction (thank you, Alex).

Ryan D'Alimonte

Phenomenal service and atmosphere. Anyone who doesn’t give this place 5 stars doesn’t know what’s going s on.

Terry Fancsy

We always have a wonderful time here. Delicious food and spectacular drinks!! Our go to place :)

Atmosphere is great. Execution of unique drinks is insanely drawn out, but well done. Value? Non-existent. I get that making an old fashioned takes more effort than a rye and ginger, but unless they're paying their staff $30/hr, the math doesn't work. Great place, do but prices do not match the experience, nor the quality of what you receive. Edit: I know it is harsh, it was meant to be, and the 3 stars accurately represent my experience (and, lets be honest, that's really the only part anyone cares about). There are good aspects of your establishment, and not so good; I feel I clearly mentioned why I have those opinions, and fairly judged you based on those opinions (nice place, nice drinks, prices not in line with the experience/product). I also took it easy on the acoustics, which I saw are a work in progress. There was no service failure, and there were no rye and gingers that were ordered (nor old fashioneds, for that matter), but pretty basic wine and "signature" drinks were, and the cost was notable (I've been maybe 8 times, ). As for your comment about "cocktail focused bars", there are only 4 in Windsor (being generous), and you are only really competitive with the one that you also own.

rene chauvin

A definite plus for downtown Windsor

Tom Scully

Always amazing. Unique and exceptional cocktails, wine list like no other, and awesome bites.

Anne Bell

What a great place to spend an evening!!! It was so entertaining watching the bar tenders work their magic! The wait staff were excellent and everyone was very welcoming! Can't wait to go back!

Monique Bontront

Exceptional cocktails/wine list and terrific atmosphere. Bartenders are a hoot! Very highly recommended - my #1 choice in the city!

Natalie Hillis

Maiden Lane is the best of the best. Mark is so passionate about his craft & it really shows in every aspect of the drink menu. From the incredible bartenders, to the stunning garnishes, to the hand crushed ice - attention is paid to every single detail to ensure its en pointe. I recommend this place to everyone. If you're looking for something cheap - don't come here lol. If you're looking for a stunning experience & beautiful cocktails - this is your place, best in town.

Kyle Devine

Sarah and Mackenzie were awesome and the service was amazing. Best wine and charcuterie in the city! Highly recommended

Kathie Dewar

Relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, fantastic drinks, and knowledgable staff. Definitely the top spot in Windsor to grab some craft cocktails!

Mitch Poynter

Amazing ambiance, and creative seasonal menus with service that will keep you coming back! Great people!!

James Perrault

Heard a lot of good things about this place. Thought I would tag along with my friend. Even though I am presently not drinking. They have a selection of non-alcohol drinks. The Greenery is very refreshing and comes with mint. Nice atmosphere & lots of seating inside and patio in back. Plus friendly staff.

Rhiana Brooks

Perfect spot for a fancy cocktail or two.

Darlene House

Staff are fun, drinks are amazingly varied and delicious. Love the location!

Anita Shaw

Mark & his bartending team are super passionate about their craft. The owners poured a lot of heart & soul into this business. Just checked out the new wine bottle shop to go & it has TONS of unique options not available at the LCBO. Definitely worth checking out!

John Halford

Went in on a Wednesday night to discuss business with a colleague. The acoustics are terrible!!! We switched tables because two regulars were so loud we couldn't conduct a civil conversation... upon moving to the furthest possible table, we still couldn't speak at a normal level.

KAREN

I really lie the server who worked outside and the food is also good.

Ed Ergun

Awesome

Josh Brierley

Excellent atmosphere and wonderful drinks, what's not to love?

Cameron Mckeague

Drinks were amazing and the food was fantastic (even in the COVID red zone).

Maureen

Love this place!! Super friendly staff, hip environment, killer cheese puffs and the talented bartenders craft some very tasty top shelf cocktails! Highly recommend MLWAS????????

Ashley Bourdeau

Lovely atmosphere and great service. Super stacked menu with lots of fantastic options. Tyler is very knowledgeable and always has the perfect wine suggestion. Love that they have such a varied wine selection, there’s always something special. Don’t miss out on the snacks they are the perfect pairing.

Larry Tyler

Felt Unsafe last weekend. My wife had to sit outside while I was finishing her drink as she was super uncomfortable with the bartenders not wearing masks. Guests were wandering around without masks and gathering around the bar while the manager smoked weed outside

Mike Spineti

Great atmosphere and the drinks were top notch.
