The Crossing is a wine bar and small plates restaurant in Old Oakville that operates as more of a bar in the evenings, with a well-chosen list of wines by the glass and a rotating selection of charcuterie and cheese boards. The room is narrow and candlelit, with exposed brick and a comfortable bar counter where solo drinkers settle in happily.
The staff are knowledgeable about the wine list and willing to make recommendations. It is a good choice for a drink before or after dinner at one of the nearby restaurants, or as a destination in itself if you want a more European-style evening rather than a pub crawl.
