Bourbon lounge, wine bar opens in historic Dublin cabins

DUBLIN, Ohio (WCMH) — A pair of central Ohio cabins dating to the 1830s underwent extensive renovations to become a wine bar and bourbon lounge.

The neighboring properties at 30 S. High St. in Dublin are now home to “Apothecary Cigar and Bourbon Lounge” and “Uncorked Wine Tastings,” after hosting a grand opening in early September. The two homes sit in historic Dublin, across the Scioto River from Bridge Park and near Dublin Village Tavern, Winans and Mezzo.

The cigar and bourbon lounge includes a backyard deck and large green space for seating in the summer, and an outdoor smoking pavilion for guests purchasing a cigar. Next door, the wine bar features self-dispensing wine machines with more than 48 bottles of wine, and a selection of small snacks and charcuterie.

Husband-and-wife duo Todd Corwin and Jennifer Kuo, alongside Corwin’s brother Mark, purchased the two cabins in 2021. The family shared on social media a number of historic items they discovered while renovating the homes, like a red wallet full of family pictures and an old bedframe used to support part of the home’s foundation.

Uncorked Wine Tastings is open noon to 8 p.m. Sunday, noon to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Apothecary is open noon to midnight Sunday through Thursday, noon to 2:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday. 

The two cottages are among several historic properties that recently underwent change in Dublin, along with a more than 100-year-old building now home to a full-service restaurant run by Coast Wine House, a central Ohio bar and bottle shop inspired by coastal California. Named “Gene’s,” the restaurant opened last year at 91 S. High St.

Co-working business COhatch is also taking part by redeveloping several historic homes and constructing a 15,000-square-foot building along North Riverview Street. The development will include the company’s new headquarters and feature bars and restaurants, indoor and outdoor event spaces, and more for year-round use and entertainment.
