First Impression
The wine list at Bahamas Steakhouse reads like it was ordered from a sysco catalog in 2015 and never updated. This is a tourist-trap steakhouse where wine is an afterthought, and it shows in every aspect of the program.
Selection Deep Dive
You're looking at the usual suspects: Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, Meiomi Pinot Noir, maybe a Caymus Cab if you're lucky. The steakhouse staples are here—a Silver Oak cab at triple retail, a predictable Napa selection that stops at entry-level producers, and exactly one token Italian and French section with names you'd find at Costco. There's no depth, no regional exploration, and zero evidence anyone curating this list has tasted wine in the last decade. For a steakhouse in a beach town banking on vacation dollars, they're doing the absolute minimum.
By the Glass
By-the-glass pours are the hits: house Cabernet, house Chardonnay, maybe a Pinot Grigio for the table that ordered fish. They're served in generic stemware that could double as water glasses, likely sitting open behind the bar long enough to lose any character they started with. Expect four to six options max, all playing it painfully safe.
Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon — $42
Probably marked up 3x retail but it's a solid Washington Cab that won't embarrass you with your ribeye
Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon
If they have it, it's one of the few bottles on the list with actual structure and won't break $60
Meiomi Pinot Noir
$55 for a $15 grocery store bottle that tastes like jam—order a beer instead
Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon + Bone-in Ribeye
Crowd-pleasing Cab with enough fruit and tannin to stand up to charred beef without pretending to be fine wine
❌ The Bottom Line
This is a place where you order cocktails or beer and save your wine budget for literally anywhere else. The list is lazy, the markup is insulting, and the staff couldn't care less.
