Cellar & Stack
Our Story

Where wine, games & community come together

Cellar & Stack was born from a simple belief: the best evenings happen around a table, with a good glass in hand and great people beside you.

Our Mission
“To create Seattle's premier destination where exceptional wine, tabletop gaming, and genuine community come together.”

Our Story

Built for the table

We kept noticing the same thing: the moments that mattered most weren't happening on screens. They were happening around tables: over a shared bottle, a close game, a story that ran long past last call.

So we set out to build a place designed entirely for those moments. A room where you can discover a wine you'd never have ordered, learn a game you'll play for years, and leave with friends you didn't arrive with.

Cellar & Stack is our answer to a world that's a little too plugged in: an invitation to slow down, gather, and stay a while.

John

John is a lifelong hospitality professional with a passion for bringing people together. After years spent in wine education, tasting rooms, and event hosting, he discovered that the best evenings always have the same ingredients: great conversation, exceptional wine, and a game shared around the table.

Cellar & Stack is the realization of that idea, a place where thoughtfully curated wines, delicious food, and tabletop games create meaningful connections. Whether you're a seasoned gamer, a curious wine lover, or simply looking for a welcoming place to spend an evening, John's goal is simple: help every guest leave with new memories, new friends, and plans to come back.

Ultimately, Cellar & Stack is the kind of place John always wished existed and now he's excited to share it with you.
