Thank you to the owners for being so kind & helpful last night. We had a big group & a lot going on. They were so incredibly accommodating & made the night perfect. (Although we have been a few times & they are amazing every time.) The wine selection is spot on. I highly recommend the charcuterie & the figgy figgy, but everything looked just as delicious! You can select a bottle of wine or beers, peruse the books & just relax for the evening. A Matthews Must!

My experience at Cellar And Ale was truly exceptional. From the moment we entered, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff made us feel right at home. The menu offered a delightful array of charcuterie boards each expertly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a culinary delight, they also have an amazing selection of wine, IPA, and Ciders. I can’t wait to return to explore more of their delicious creations. Highly recommended.

Cellar and Ale has been an incredible addition to downtown Matthews. The vibe is better than with previous owners. So glad to have them in our community. The menu is small but mighty, the chickpea salad side is so delicious. Everything is super fresh and great quality. The chicken sandwich is superb. Great selection of wine and beer. This place.

What a great hidden gem in downtown Matthews! Customer service was superb! Such kind staff. I really enjoyed this place. They had live music outside. Inside they had a football game going on TVs, and music wasn’t too loud. The food was great! I am definitely going back to support this business!! Great atmosphere .
