Welcome to the Arts District Wine Bar + Social Club—a space built for connection, culture, and good times. Located in the heart of Benton Harbor’s historic Arts District, we’re more than just a wine bar or a music venue. We’re a creative hub for locals and visitors alike—a place where wine flows, live music fills the air, and community takes center stage.
Founded by Meredith & Jason George, longtime residents of the arts district and passionate supporters of the local arts & music scene, this space brings together everything we love: great wine, compelling music, unforgettable events, and the energy of a neighborhood on the rise. Whether you’re sipping a glass at the bar, dancing to a touring band in the back, or catching up with friends at a curated social event, you’re part of something special here.
Coming spring 2026
The Arts District Wine Bar + Social Club is the shared vision of wife-and-husband team Meredith & Jason George — longtime Benton Harbor residents and passionate advocates for community, culture, and connection.
Meredith is the heart behind the wine — a certified wine expert with a deep love for fun, expressive wines and a gift for creating welcoming, stylish spaces that feel like home. She studied Music Business, where her passion for both hospitality and the arts first took root, eventually leading her to open St. Joe Wine Shoppe and now building The Arts District Wine Bar + Social Club.
Jason brings over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry as a talent buyer and venue developer, curating unforgettable live shows with a focus on regional talent and national touring acts.
Together, they are building a space where wine, music, and community come together under one roof — a neighborhood spot with soul.
