Oh Loretta Wine Bar is a lively neighbourhood wine bar on High Street in Northcote, opened by a group of hospitality professionals wanting a place built around good food, wine and music. The fit-out sticks to classic wine bar styling with stucco walls, claret-coloured banquettes and bentwood chairs, alongside a dog-friendly courtyard out the back and old-school vinyl on the stereo. The wine list favours small Victorian growers and independent producers, supplemented by off-list bottles and unusual varietals, while cocktails might include house-fermented kombucha or a house-made cherry syrup Old Fashioned. The menu is omnivorous but plant-forward, built around seasonal availability with a focus on smoking, pickling and grilling, and dishes such as wagyu shin croquettes and hibachi-grilled wagyu have drawn particular praise. With chatty, casual service and a warm, community-driven vibe, Oh Loretta suits everything from a quick glass after work to a longer night of wine and shared plates, open Wednesday to Sunday.
