Fishtown's Bottle Bar East might seem like your average neighborhood bottle shop, but they actually have a lot more to offer than just beer. If you're looking for a great wine program and excellent cocktails – as well as a perfectly curated beer list – Bottle Bar East really does have it all.

Recently, the Frankford Avenue bottle shop has expanded its offerings to include a widespread wine selection, including plenty of natural wines, as well as a full cocktail program at their bar.

Spearheaded by wine & spirits director Amber Smith, who trained under Philly talents like Aimee Olexy at The Love and Michael Haggerty, designed an entirely new program for the shop's non-beer stock. Smith thinks that with this new program, Bottle Bar East has become as well-rounded as possible, saying, "You can get a PBR and a shot, or a great bottle of wine, or a perfectly mixed Sazerac."

As far as the wine program goes, Smith designed a program of mostly natural wines, which includes canned wine and liter bottles, all of which can be purchased to go or enjoyed at the bar. If you're drinking your wine in-store, you'll pay a $5 corking fee included in a slightly higher price.

Smith explained her goal in creating the wine program, saying, "For me, I feel like there was a lot of space for more interesting wines than just the staples. I wanted to bring in 'Instagrammable' and natural wines, playing to the trends a little bit more."

With bottle prices that range from $15-$50, Smith says there's something for everyone, even beer devotees: "People come in specifically for our great beer selection, and it’s an easy jump from exploring funky beers to finding a new wine that can give them the same experience."

If you're looking for wine by the glass, they currently offer Underwood canned wines behind the bar. There's also some fun special features like their Cadence Collection, designed as a four-bottle tasting menu that pairs perfectly with the menu at nearby Cadence BYOB, and Smith's guided, free wine tastings on Saturday evenings, where she chooses a bottle to open, sample, and discuss.
