Kent & Co Wine Bar is an innovative new concept that combines a retail and dining experience. Owned by Frank Kent, who owns three car dealerships nearby, the Wine Bar is a full-service restaurant at which customers can drop off their cars for maintenance and enjoy a meal or a glass of wine, chosen with the help of one of the in-house sommeliers.
The cars are shuttled over to the correct dealership for servicing, with Kent & Co Wine even offering a wine club membership, a line of handmade wines, an impressive selection of vintages and a hearty menu.
The Wine Bar, which features a state of the art showroom, is also open to non-customers, but they are sure to be tempted by the establishment's impressive selection of services.
