Some places announce themselves with a neon sign. Sip on Grand<\/a> does it with a board of freshly sliced charcuterie and a glass of organic wine poured straight from the tap. Tucked into 6231 Grand Boulevard in the heart of Downtown New Port Richey<\/a>, this speakeasy-style wine bar is a short stroll from The Central on Orange Lake, one of The Central’s Central Perks Partners, and a VIP Perks partner of Richey Suncoast Theatre<\/a>, whose stage sits just steps up the same block.<\/p>\n Sip’s own motto is three words long: Sip. Nibble. Relax. The bar explains the idea behind it simply: “Because we want to savor a moment with people we love to be with, facilitated by a beverage of our choosing.”<\/p>\n Sip opened its doors in 2016, back when Downtown New Port Richey was in the middle of its fresh start. Two years in, the Tampa Bay Times<\/a> stopped by and found a cozy room with an old-timey vibe: live jazz, classic movies from the ’50s and ’60s on a big screen, ten craft beers on tap.<\/p>\n Sip has changed hands over the years, and in 2020 it rode out the pandemic the way so many Downtown favorites did: carried by a local crowd that mixes longtime residents with newcomers who came for the small-town feel.<\/p>\n Owners have come and gone, but the formula has held: good wine, good company, and a room that makes you want to stay for one more glass.<\/p>\n Start with a board. Sip’s charcuterie arrives with warmed baguette, fruit, pickled vegetables, olives and nuts, and the lineup runs from the numbered boards to “The Pope.” If you are hungrier, the panini and piadinas, like the Meat Lover’s panino, turn a glass of wine into dinner. Save room for something from the dolce side of the menu; “The Goat” is a good place to start.<\/p>\n The drink list leans on certified organic wines, many of them poured from the tap, alongside other fine wines, Florida craft beer and cider. And if you are not drinking, there is espresso.<\/p>\n Sip is closed Monday and Tuesday, which makes Wednesday feel like the start of its week, and it treats it that way. Date Night Wednesdays pair a board with two glasses of house tap wine or beer for one set price. Aperitivi Hour, on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 7 PM, takes a dollar off craft beer and the house organic tap wines, with small boards to match. On select nights each month, Sip hosts curated wine tastings. Check the menu<\/a> for current pricing and dates.<\/p>\n Planning something bigger? Ask about the speakeasy room, a private space for birthdays, celebrations and small gatherings. Walk-ins are always welcome, and the bar also takes reservations by phone.<\/p>\n Sip on Grand is a VIP Perks partner of Richey Suncoast Theatre<\/a>, the historic theatre just up the block at 6237 Grand Boulevard. Theatre members show their membership card at participating partners for a pre-show perk, so a glass and a shared board before curtain is an easy plan. For residents of The Central, the whole evening, from first pour to final bow, happens within a few blocks of home.<\/p>\n Central Perks is The Central on Orange Lake’s partner program with local Downtown businesses, giving residents exclusive discounts at Downtown favorites. Sip belongs on that list because it is exactly the kind of place that makes Downtown feel like an extension of home: a room built for lingering over a shared board, where a Wednesday can feel like a weekend, and where the walk back to Orange Lake is part of the evening. You will find it in the Downtown District that New Port Richey Main Street<\/a> works to keep thriving.<\/p>\n 6231 Grand Boulevard in Downtown New Port Richey, steps from Richey Suncoast Theatre and a short stroll from The Central on Orange Lake.<\/p>\n Organic wines on tap, other fine wines, Florida craft beer, cider and espresso, along with charcuterie boards, panini, piadinas and sweet bites.<\/p>\n Walk-ins are always welcome, and reservations are accepted by phone at 727.203.8107.<\/p>\n Yes.
