Stone House Wine Bar & Kitchen

A great little wine bar in Darwin, would not be out of place in Melbourne or Sydney. Very popular location with a broad selection of wines with no real competition in Darwin.

They're trying and failing to be a Melbourne-like southern wine bar. Good points: wine is ok. Bad points: plastic furniture , a view of a parking lot, an awful "sweet home Alabama" type soundtrack playing at full blast presumably to try to lure in baby boomers but total at odds with everything else. The menu includes the words "trilogy" and "gooey" I went there solo and was treated fairly much like the unloved cousin at the Christmas dinner. What other "winebar" or snack bar or whatever it's trying to be would ask for payment by the glass for a seated customer? Good luck.

Never expected such a place in Darwin - Sinatra music, great ambience, even better wines from a knowledgeable manager who exudes passion for what he does. He's from the Napa Valley in California and in Darwin for love. We were in Darwin for 7 days and went there three times - a real oasis!

If you are ever in Darwin, this place is a must visit. The food and ambience is terrific. Staff here are friendly and very accommodating. It is the perfect location for a quiet drink after work or work/family function. Highly recommend.

I left Darwin about three years ago and in that time it has changed significantly. This venue could have been ripped straight from the trendier parts of Balmain or Camperdown in Sydney and dropped into the heart of Darwin. The entrance is remarkably nondescript and you could almost walk past it if you are not looking for it. Inside it is a dimly lit, but inviting environment with a great selection of wines and a small but quality selection of appetisers. I really liked the vibe of this venue.Great place to start the night or wind the night down.
