12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar  Great live music 5 nights a week.

Featuring an amazing array of musical talent, 12 Grapes has live music Wednesday through Sunday. From blues to jazz to rock and acoustic, we have swing bands, zydeco bands and even reggae and bluegrass.

At the bar, "Winekeepers" dispense 12 reds and 12 whites by the glass or taste. There's also beer on tap and a full service bar. Our New-American menu, created by Culinary Institute Chef Dan Maffucci, offers an interesting selection of appetizers as well as flat bread pizzas, salads and amazing entrées.

12 North Division Street is a beautiful, historic brick building, with French doors opening onto the street. The charm of the old wood floors and brick walls are accented with all new furnishings and warm lighting. The stage area in back has overstuffed leather couches for lounging. It's a cool décor reminiscent of a SoHo bar.

We’re open Tuesday-Sunday for lunch and dinner, plus Sunday Brunch. There’s plenty of free parking at night and on weekends.

12 Grapes Music & Wine Bar. Great food. Great wine. Great music. How great is that?

Hailed as one of the most exciting instrumentalists in decades, Joey Pero's star has risen meteorically.

Joey will be performing selections from his highly-acclaimed CD, "Resonance". Joey says, "We want to deliver the energy and excitement that "Resonance" is to the wonderful audience at 12 Grapes, fast becoming one of my favorite venues."

Pero will be accompanied by pianist Jon Ware, bassist Jeff Little, drummer Pete Abazia, and acclaimed marimba player, Simon Boyar.

"Pero is a supreme master of the instrument in both jazz and classical disciplines, an achievement of grand (and near impossible) proportions." - AllAboutJazz.com

Andy Aledort has performed with scores of rock legends... Dickey Betts, the Allman's and the late, great, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Famous for meticulously capturing, note-for-note, the licks and tone of artists like Clapton and Hendrix, Andy Aledort is often tapped for high-profile appearances. When a band needs a player who can recreate the guitar work of Stevie Ray, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Freddie King or Johnny Winter, Andy delivers in a big way. Aledort was once sought after by Aerosmith's Joe Perry for an emergency Blues lesson, and has performed as a member of the Dickey Betts and Great Southern band for the last five years, displaying masterful slide guitar work. Aledort also participated in a series of Jimi Hendrix Tribute concerts, including a three-city tour of the west coast with veteran bluesman Buddy Guy.

Dinner Reservations highly recommended. This is gonna be one hot night.
