Happy Wine Calle Ocho is a neighborhood wine shop and Spanish-style wine bar rooted in the heart of Miami’s Calle Ocho. Built on the belief that good wine, good food, and good people belong together, our space has always been about connection, not pretension.

Owned and operated by partners J.C. Restrepo and Joanna Fajardo since 2010, Happy Wine Calle Ocho has grown organically from a small local wine shop into one of Miami’s most beloved gathering places. Our shelves are lined with over 1,000 wines from around the world, carefully selected to offer something for every palate and every price point. Whether you’re discovering wine for the first time or searching for something special, we’re here to guide you without pressure or pretense.

Our menu is inspired by Spanish and Latin traditions, designed for sharing and meant to complement the wine. From classic tapas like jamón serrano, manchego, boquerones, and chorizo al vino to seasonal specials and our much-loved Saturday paella, everything we serve is simple, honest, and made to bring people together. In 2022, we expanded our kitchen to offer heartier plates while staying true to the flavors and spirit that define us.

Happy Wine Calle Ocho is more than a place to eat or drink. It’s a space shaped by resilience, community, and hospitality. Through challenges and growth, what has never changed is our commitment to being present. You’ll often find J.C. and Joanna here, pouring wine, making recommendations, and welcoming guests like old friends.

With live music on weekends, regular tastings, happy hour favorites, and a warm, unpretentious atmosphere, Happy Wine Calle Ocho continues to be a place where locals and visitors alike can slow down, share a bottle, and feel at home.

Whether you join us for a casual glass, a full meal, or a night of music and conversation, we’re glad you’re here.
