Welcome to Grassroots & Vine

Neighborhood Restaurant & Wine Bar in Fort Thomas, KY

Good Food. Good Wine. Good Company

Grassroots & Vine is a neighborhood restaurant and wine bar rooted in fresh, farm-to-table cooking, small producers, and wines chosen with care. Our menu follows the seasons, highlighting ingredients from regional farms and makers we trust, paired with a strong wine program, craft cocktails, and a focused selection of beer.

Located in the Historic Midway District, we offer a cozy dining room for relaxed, unrushed meals, a wraparound bar with multiple TVs built for gathering, and a tree-shaded outdoor patio when the weather allows. Throughout the year, we host live music, wine dinners, tastings, special events, private celebrations, and catering, all grounded in quality, hospitality, and a genuine sense of community.
