Great wine shop- even better wine bar
I love this place- has a nice selection of wines and really unique wine oriented gifts. The main reason to go there is to sit at the great bar and enjoy a glass of wine. I think they also serve some beer and whiskey/scotch since they sell a bit of both. They also have a nice but small selection of appetizers- tried a few & they were very good & reasonably priced. Love the nice stemware they use and wines by the glass decent prices and a good pour. Love the ambience - the staff is always friendly -bar service or sofas and tables and chairs as well. Really a fun place/ great decor- live music often

Trend-setting Wine Shop & Lounge in an Unlikely Setting
Billing itself as Wine Shop & Lounge, Market Alley Wines exudes the chic of a big city wine bar in this quintessential MidWestern country seat. Retaining the art deco sophistication of the 1930's shoe store that formerly occupied the space, Market Alley Wines provides comfortable seating areas conducive to conversation and enjoyment of the wines or spirits chosen from extensive and smartly displayed selections. Owner and staff are knowledgeable and provide exceptional service. Hundreds of wines in a wide variety of styles, vintages and price points are attractively displayed alongside top-drawer spirits if that is your preference. Carefully chosen art and decoration add to the ambience. When visiting Western Illinois, stop in, enjoy, and you'll leave wondering why there isn't a wine bar like this in your home town.
