plates: cheeses, salumi cured meats, and definitely great
wine; the lights would be low, we’d laugh a lot, and you’d just
feel settled…”
Kris and Lisa Bolster are describing the atmosphere
they hoped to echo when they opened Sip Wine and Beer
Bar & Restaurant on Grand Boulevard in downtown New
Port Richey over two years ago. Influenced by wine and
cheese bars of the late ‘70s in New York and favorite bites
reflective of their Italian heritage, the Long Island natives
set out to create a different kind of dining experience for
their patrons, one that would challenge some perceptions
of a meal. Sip’s oblong mango wood boards are abundant
with cheese, salumi, fruit, nuts, olives, crusty baguettes and
more. They are designed not only to be a pleasant feast for
the eyes, but also to facilitate a more intimate interaction
with fellow diners. Reaching and sampling, combining and creating, the array entices conversation, as well as culinary
experimentation… and they satisfy. Coupled with an evolving wine list of 40 regionally diverse wines and 10 rotating craft
beer options, the range offered when sharing these boards and plates is wonderfully replete.
Additionally, the family-run business includes two young daughters, who just might surprise you with a wine or
beer recommendation here or there. They’re eager to share a story about the place and might even get you a sneak peek into
the hidden speakeasy that resides in Sip, or maybe seat you outside on the first permanent dining deck in the Tampa Bay area.
On weekends, the live music and eclectically designed menu and furnishings offer an atmosphere that lends itself to
relaxation and enjoyment. Sip will provide you with an age-old, yet suddenly contemporary dining experience.
