The Wine Bar offers a refuge from the sticky Bocas main streets and over the water places to eat. With a good selection of wine and tapas in an comfortable, elegant as it gets in Bocas setting you will relax into the vibe and enjoy a change of pace to recharge.

The spring rolls in coconut milk sauce were delicious, also the tuna sashimi on mango and cucumber and the quinoa, feta and beet salad. Wines Cost $4-6 ish and are from Australia. Argentina and Chile. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of everything we ordered and we sat on the balcony of a quaint old wooden Caribbean house.

I think this is the best experience in Bocas. Very good service - female partner takes time to sit with you and explain wine list and menu. Guy who runs the place knows what it is all about. Very chilled evening !

Cool place with interesting appy's. Ceviche was most excellent, and the wasabi beef was yummy. Cold beer, and reasonably priced wine, topped with excellent service, and funky atmosphere to people watch. It is on the small side, which makes it all the better. Loved our waiter!
