Best Wine Bars in Bordeaux

18 of the 18 wine bars listed in Bordeaux publish their opening hours. The median one opens at 5 pm and closes at 12 am on a typical trading day.

Sunday is the day that catches visitors out: 4 venues in Bordeaux (22% of those with published hours) trade on Sunday, against 10 on Monday. 3 open seven days a week.

18 addresses stay open past 10 pm, which matters if you are buying after dinner rather than before it. La Bande à Roro closes latest, at 2 am.

At the other end of the day, Le Sobre Chartrons opens earliest, at 10 am.

These hours come from each venue's own Google Business Profile as read in March 2026. They are regular hours: public holidays, August closures and harvest-season changes are not reflected, so call ahead for a specific date.

The 18 rated wine bars in Bordeaux carry 8,296 reviews between them. The mean rating is 4.74 out of 5 and the median is 4.8, and 17 venues hold 4.5 or better — 94% of the list.

Le Sobre Chartrons carries the highest rating with a review base large enough to mean something: 4.9 from 430 reviews. Le Bar à Vin is the most reviewed address in Bordeaux, at 2,430.

A five-star average is worth less than it looks on a venue with a dozen reviews, which is why the ranking above is sorted by rating and review volume together rather than by rating alone. The rating also measures the visit, not the cellar: service, queueing and the state of the room all land in the same number as the wine selection. It is a starting filter, not a verdict on what is on the shelf.

Price level is published for 8 of the 18 wine bars in Bordeaux, and it splits as follows: 1 budget (13%), 7 moderate (88%). Google's price level is a four-step band reported by the venue and by visitors, not a price list, so it says where an address sits relative to its neighbours rather than what a bottle costs.

The specialisations that recur most often in Bordeaux are Bordeaux (2). Filtering the list above by one of those is usually a faster route to the right shop than sorting by rating.
