Whiskers and Wine Bar

Whiskers & Wine Bar is a pioneering cat café that opened in early 2020 as the county’s only venue of its kind with a full liquor license, offering a stylish two-level rooftop experience in North Park. Founded by Nicole Smith—who left her corporate career inspired by another cat café—and run with her husband Christopher, this lounge pairs creative cocktails like “meowtinis” and “meownhattans” with a full food menu featuring flatbreads and queso kitty tots, all while guests mingle with adoptable cats from Saving One Life in a comfy, controlled environment. With an entrance fee to support the cats’ care and a reservation-recommended policy to ensure their well-being, Whiskers & Wine fosters a vibrant community through monthly events like kitten yoga, blending feline adoption with a unique social vibe for cat lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.
