Sip, Savor and Socialize at 45 Central Wine Bar

Everybody loves a good wine bar. In the center of SoWal we have a favorite on the square in Seaside, Fl. Locals and visitors gather at 45 Central Wine Bar in to sip, savor and socialize. Formerly an art gallery, the repurposed wine bar took on a new look as the walls were adorned with handcrafted wine boxes filled with wine from around the world.
 
Owner & chef Jim Shirley’s inspiration for 45 Central came to him as he was cooking. He designed the menu for sharing. The idea is to ensure that patrons have a wide variety from which to order and that everyone is presented with a little bit of everything. Jim is also chef and owner at Great Southern Cafe in Seaside and The Bay on the south side of the 331 bridge.

Richard Liveakos, the 45 Central fine wine specialist, along with Chef Jim, search for rare, specialty wines. 45 Central carry wines rarely found even at wine and spirits stores.
