Uncork · The bar

A warm café feel on a historic downtown corner.

Ambi (say “ahm-bee”) is a family-owned wine bar, eatery and dessert spot founded by Anokans who care about where their city is headed. It sits in the heart of Historic Downtown Anoka, inside the Anoka Social District.

Come for a flight, stay for a board and something sweet. Couches, low light and a small fireplace make it an easy place to catch up, celebrate or settle in with a glass.

Ambi is a favorite! Love having a cozy wine bar close to home with free parking. Great wine selection that rotates, incredible service (they REALLY know wine!) and delicious food with gluten-free options. Highly recommend the wine flight paired with charcuterie board! Next time - dessert!

Ambient atmosphere with low string lights, music, a little fireplace, and cute decorations. The servers are kind, quick, and helpful. Delicious food and I found a new favorite dry red wine- the Cayman.
