Our Wine
At Claret, we believe wine should be fun, not fussy. Our wine program is built on one simple idea: choose what tastes good. We’ve handpicked a rotating selection of bottles from around the world—some familiar, some unexpected—all chosen for their flavor, balance, and drinkability.
Whether you're a seasoned sipper or just getting started, our team is here to help you discover something you’ll love—without the jargon or judgment. We’re all about sharing wines that excite us, and making sure you leave with a glass (or bottle) that hits the spot.
No pretense. Just good wine, good vibes, and great company.
Our Beer
Wine may be our first love, but we’ve got plenty of room in our hearts (and fridges) for great beer too. At Claret, we proudly pour a curated selection of local brews to support the talented makers in our own backyard—because good neighbors make great beer.
From crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs and seasonal surprises, our local picks are always fresh and full of character. And if you're craving something classic, we’ve got all your favorite domestics and imports too—because sometimes nothing beats a cold one you know and love.
Whatever you’re drinking, we’re here to make sure it pairs perfectly with your night.
Our Cocktails
At Claret, we keep our cocktails simple, balanced, and seriously delicious. We start with quality spirits, fresh ingredients, and a love for the classics—then mix in a little creativity for good measure.
You'll find timeless favorites, made the right way, alongside seasonal specials that change with the weather (and our mood). Whether you're sipping something shaken, stirred, or sparkling, every cocktail is crafted to complement the moment—and the menu.
No gimmicks, just good drinks made with care.
Our Food
Great wine deserves great food—and at Claret, we’ve crafted a tapas-style menu designed to complement every glass. Think shareable plates, bold flavors, and simple ingredients done right.
Our thin crust pizzas (gluten free available) are a crowd favorite—crispy, craveable, and perfect with a pour. You’ll also find a mix of year-round staples we can’t live without, alongside seasonal dishes that change with what’s fresh and inspiring our kitchen.
Whether you’re here for a light bite or a full-on feast, everything on the menu is meant to mix, match, and bring people together.
