Love that the new owner is a mother and daughter team! Remodel is beautiful. One of the only wine bars in North Park. Highly recommend!

Awesome place to drink wine. Went here on a Monday for the first time and I was blown away. I had never seen a wine tasting set up this way before. You pay whatever amount you like on a plastic card and then you go around and select whichever wine you want that has a set price to taste and it dispenses once you put your card through the slot and select your wine. It's like a self serve wine tasting. There is food I believe after 4pm and the sangria they make is bomb! Its definetly an experience and $20 can get you to taste a bunch of wines! They then serve wine by the glass and or bottle if you desire. The owner Andrew is very nice and personable ready to help when needed. Loved the dynamic of the entire place. I would recommend for everyone to go here for a nice date, girls night out stop, friend date/ just to drink and have by yourself....just go and have fun .

Great Friday girl's night out spot for chillin with wine and cheese plate and watching the foot traffic go by! We ended up staying longer than we thought and the cute booth was great for sharing conversation!

Get there early for happy hour specials on some food items. Choose the tasting option to sample a wide variety of wines — mostly reds. The price of each tasting varies depends on the wine you choose. Food options include some pretty good flat breads and salads. If you’re drinking wouldn’t hurt to eat too and the food is pretty good.

A nice concept packed with value and fun. You can taste a great deal of wines to educate your palate with a pay & taste system that allows you to set a tasting budget.
All wines are good choices on their own so there's no risk. However, the venue could benefit from a cheese samplers and such when the kitchen is closed.
My friends and I had alot of fun and it's a good place for the wine novice to get acquainted with wines.

Really great concept, and wide selection. A couple misses for my taste on the wine, but most were good and a couple were excellent! Seating is comfortable, but accessing the wines leaves you running into other people a bit. Particularly while trying to read the dimly lit descriptions. Unfortunately, the layout is a bit awkward, but the staff is really friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back.

Parking can be difficult here; it was a Sunday night - I paid $7 to park directly behind the building but a friend persevered and found street parking for free close by. The layout of the wine and seating worked well except for the bigger party table in the back; it is very tight when people try to walk past us to the bar or restrooms. Luckily there are only a few other patrons. Lots of wine to choose from. Some labels I recognized and lots of labels I didn't, the latter being important to me when I'm wine tasting. And that's the reason why Splash Lounge exists: self pour wine by the ounce so you can try what you want. Wines are categorized so the whites are together, the sweets are together, the more expensive reds are together, etc. They also had a decent selection of (what I would call) affordable by the ounce wine pours. You prepay at the bar for a pour card, you insert card in the pour machine, then press a button which automatically pours one ounce. I started off with $15, you have to be pre-charged something, but kept my card open. Make note, 1 oz is not large but that's fine for the purpose of wine tasting. I ended up tasting about six wines and it cost me a little over $16. I stayed pretty conservative with my pours, the most expensive I selected was $3.60 an ounce. Many of the wines in self pour looked like they were available behind the counter to buy buy a full glass; a better deal if you settle on a single wine you'd like to drink. My BIGGEST problem is the extremely low lighting. I got there at 7pm and it was still some daylight, but I could barely read the wine descriptions and wine names because it was too dark inside. I had to walk around with my cell phone flashlight on when trying to make a selection. I was glad I could finally check the place out but still on the fence if I'll go back again; wine tasting another way is more cost effective but I did enjoy the large selection, and they are still a normal lounge and I didn't review their by-the-glass selections/prices or their food offerings. But it's a definite must do! Everybody needs to do a wine self pour experience 👍😀

Great place for a girls night out wine tasting! You put money on a card and can taste little samples of different wines. Super fun and you get to try new things! You can order a glass of the ones you like too! The cheese and artichoke dip was amazing.

Good atmosphere for small groups to get together. Prepaid wine card is different than other wine bars where you pay balance at the end of the sampling. Wines were average quality. Is nice to try several different wines at one location, starting at one ounce pours.

This place was great...not packed, good wine selection, super polite and friendly staff , great food, and all for a decent price...the flat bread pizzas are the real deal, not some dinky overpriced dish, but actually flatbread pizza..I'll def be visiting here again and I'll most certainly recommend it to others!
