A piece of old-world Italy has been borrowed for the likes of Historic Downtown Opelika — in the shape of a wine + cocktail lounge. Piedmont on Piedmont, which opened just last year, combines its appreciation for Piemonte, Italy, with southern charm through family-style dinner dishes + rare wines.

Tucked away on the second floor of Piedmont on Piedmont is The Torino Club, a cozy cocktail lounge + wine bar. The club, originally reserved for private events, opened to the public in August.

Here’s a quick rundown:

Location: 1007 Ave B building A, Opelika, AL 36801
Hours: Thurs. through Sat., 6PM—11PM

Once guests reach the top of Piedmont on Piedmont’s stairwell, they’re greeted by low lighting, the sound of jazz + lively conversation. Whether one is interested in pre-dinner drinks, or is in want of a sophisticated evening out, The Torino Club welcomes all to experience a night of warm, southern charm mixed with the taste of carefully crafted drinks.

The lounge features:

Cozy indoor + outdoor seating
Warm lighting
Beautiful art
A record-player
Chess boards
Coffee table books for perusing

Another notable element of the lounge’s interior are its long windows overlooking Downtown Opelika. At sunset, it’s a perfect place to watch the city wind down as you sip your wine.
