In June & July 2020, Niche Wine Bar’s Loo-vre presents A Fearful Time, A Hopeful Time: The Collage Art of Christopher Luna. These collages were created since we began staying home to stay safe from COVID-19. Many of them were created while listening to DJ Questlove’s livestreamed DJ sets.
Christopher’s debut full-length book of poetry, Message from the Vessel in a Dream, which also features some of his collage art, is available for sale as well.
Beginning June 9, Niche is open for dine-in as well as take out service. More information is available on our website and our Facebook page.
We are taking reservations Tuesday through Saturday from 4-8PM and will close at 9PM. We will continue taking reservations after the inaugural two weeks and will offer walk-ins after we get up to speed with our new social distancing rules.
Please reach out if you have any questions. Reservations can be made by e-mailing nichewine@gmail.com or calling (360) 980-8352. We are still offering to-go orders for those not comfortable dining in.
Please follow us on Instagram (@nichewinebar) for daily updates and thank you again for your support!
