In Short
Founded and run by female wine connoisseurs, this bar strives to be more rock-and-roll than high-brow. Even the decor speaks to the attitude: Scrap metal and reclaimed lumber from a Jack Daniels distillery are used prominently. Customers can buy bottles to-go or stay and mingle with friends and seductive singles. They can even take a class to learn about wine from the proprietors, who also teach about vino at a local community college.

Three strikes and your out - I have tried this place 3 times. The first 2 times the service was so terrible I left. Last night I had to stay for a birthday and once again they proved to even nastier than the first 2 times. They did not have any of the wine that showed on their paper list at the bar until I finally settled on a glass that I did not ask for just so I could stop the painful conversation with jack*** behind the bar. I mean $9.00 for a glass Pinot Grigio on SE Powell - get over yourself. To top off the evening on our way out - someone who I believe (never said for sure) is part owner asked us if we get pulled over say we were coming from Noble R*t. Although his statement fell short when we told him we were huge fans of Noble R*t (they wont let me say the word on this page so please replace the * in R*t to an o and you got the correct name) and boy did he back track and claiming they were good friends with the Noble R*t owners - friends until they become the competition I guess. The moral of this story is unless you like being served overprice wine by to cool for school d*ck heads DON'T GO to Vino Vixens and try the wonderful, customer pleasing, fantastic food and location of Noble R*t.

What a great little place. It is kind of hard to picture where it is, but once you find it, you will remember it. We held a birthday party their for my wife this weekend, and everyone was so impressed with what a great, funky little place it was. Now I may say little, but we had 35 guests there and they made us feel like we owned the place, but there was still another birthday party on the other side so we definately didn't max it out. Plenty of comfortable couches, seating nooks and such so the crowd can separate out as they please. Greg set up a nice bar area for our wine and beer, and even set up some tables for us to bring in food from Costco to serve up in a buffet line. We planned this about a month ago, trying various wines and they helped us pick out crowd pleasing wines in our price range, provided them for us there, and even let us hook up our Ipod to their stereo so we could choose the music mix. All said and done, whether planning a group of 50 or 5, or maybe just looking for a simple bottle of wine to take home with you, Vino Vixens is a first rate choice. I encourage you to do a little searching, find that "nondescript strip mall" and make yourself at home. Thanks to Greg, and everyone at Vino Vixens, to help make our party a smashing success.

My sister and I checked out Vino Vixens the other night and we both really liked it. The location is odd, kind of hard to tell where it is exactly in the strip mall (their sign isn't really over the door you enter through). Inside we were really surprised - the front is a wine bar and pretty decent wine shop. There were a good number of wines by the glass to choose from and all we tried were really good. The back goes on & on.....There are tons of seating areas, couches, etc. and a big-screened tv - kind of feels like a big living room. There is a pool table and foos ball table in an adjoining room. Their location is the only draw back, but might not be too crowded on the weekends, especially if you have a big group. Nice to see a wine bar that you can actually have some fun at.
