Bar Salvatge

Natural-wine aesthetics, simple plates, and a glassware problem

Bar Salvatge leans hard into the natural-wine identity: low-intervention bottles, lots of attitude, and a room that feels designed to signal “we’re in the club.” The food matches that wine-bar template—very simple tapas meant to keep the table going rather than becoming the reason we’re there. When we’re in the mood for a casual bite, that can work.

Our friction is the execution around the wine experience. The selection skews very radical, and not always in a fun, exploratory way—more “funk first” than balance. We also ran into a posture problem: the storytelling around natural wine can feel louder than the actual pleasure of drinking it.

And then, oddly, the basics: the glassware. For a bar that positions itself as wine-first, serving in crystal that feels below the level is distracting. It’s a small thing, but it signals care (or lack of it).

Overall, it’s not a bad night—just a place where the concept feels stronger than the hospitality and the details
