What everyone is saying about 57 Degrees



"The atmosphere is lush and cuttable at the 57 Degrees, Russ Kindom's cigar bar in the resurrected East Village, Downtown. The 57 Degrees (the best wine-storage temperature) is the hippest of the cigar bars, catering to the 30-45 upwardly mobile -- cabernet and Cohibas, background music by B.B. King and the Rolling Stones, but bring your own Beethoven."


“Fifty Seven Degrees is a wine bar and personal wine storage locker rental facility, offering the highest degree of environmental control of anywhere in San Diego.”


"At 57 Degrees, wine is not just the spotlight beverage; its a passion, a relationship, and a way of life. Although many guests frequent 57 Degrees for exclusive wine tasting events, dedicated customers trust 57 with a part of themselves their wine collection."


“The guy behind the bar is proud to show off their 600,000-bottle locker area, where individuals can rent space to store their fine wines. And when "tenants" come in to enjoy some of their swag, theres no corkage fee.”


“The atmosphere was quite different than the typical downtown scene. It was quite trendy, but I did not have to flag the bartender down each time I was looking for a refill. I definitely rate this facility as a must try.”


“I was amazed when I visited the wine-storage facility nearest me, a place called Fifty Seven Degrees. Best of all I now have a location other than my office to receive wine samples. My fervent hope is that all samples will go to Fifty Seven Degrees and my garage will no longer look like a cardboard box factory, or a giant dumpster.”


“I was immediately warmed by 57s not so trendy but more cutting edge appearance. There wine list was filled with geek wines some I knew some I did not. The did nots are always of more interest to me. I first chose a Spanish White recommended by the insightful winetender and it was delightful. While sipping this glass a Blues Band began to set up on 57s stage. Being from Austin, Texas Live Music was a must in any great Bar experience. The band did not disappoint. An unexpected experience at a wonderful Wine Bar in San Diego!”
