Point Richmond may be getting its first-ever wine bar. On Thurs., May 6, the City of Richmond’s Planning Commission is set to review an application from Marlina Miller identified in an Agenda Report as the applicant and operator of The Grape Nest Wine Bar at 229 Tewksbury Ave. in Point Richmond for a Conditional Use Permit to serve alcohol at that location.
It would be the first wine retail shop with tasting in the Point Richmond neighborhood, per the report.
As its name suggests, plans are for The Grape Nest Wine Bar to operate as a wine retail shop and tasting room in a small, 200 sq. ft. commercial space facing Tewksbury Ave. Two counters and stools will be available for costumers and, in the future, plans are for tables and chairs to be placed outside the building in the rear area of the property, according to the report.
