The Local Vine is hoping the second time’s the charm. The Belltown-born wine bar is scheduled to complete its move with a Monday opening just five months after it fled Seattle’s Wall street due to the crumbling circumstances of the ill-fated McGuire building. By the way, the last resident moved out of the McGuire in mid-August as the building’s future remains uncertain.

Saturday night, the staff could be seen preparing for their first activities in the bar and restaurant at 1412 12th Ave. A sign on the door explained that The Local Vine was closed for a “private event” but would be open on Monday.

In addition to a second location for the bar, the opening will introduce a second tenant to the space inside the Trace building where original occupant Pizza Fusion went belly up in only four short months. The Local Vine’s time in the barrel will probably last a bit longer. Owners Allison Nelson and Sarah Munson uncorked their concept almost four years ago in Belltown and were prepared to expand to Capitol Hill, not move there when the building problems in their former home surfaced.

The Local Vine’s first public pour will be the second wine-focused watering hole opening in the Pike/Pine/12th area in two weeks. We reported here on the grand opening of Cork House on 10th at East Union.
