The wine list at King's Fish House Henderson reads exactly like you'd expect from a well-run casual seafood chain — dependable, approachable, and zero surprises. It's not trying to be a wine destination, but it's not embarrassing itself either. For a lively fish house in a suburban shopping district, this is a list that gets the job done.
The list runs 30–40 bottles deep, anchored heavily in California Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon with a supporting cast of Italian whites and a few Oregon entries via A to Z Wineworks. Italy shows up mostly through Pinot Grigio — Donini and Santa Margherita both make appearances, which covers the crowd that reflexively orders 'something Italian with seafood.' What's missing is any real adventurousness: no Albariño, no Vermentino, no skin-contact or natural options, nothing that makes you lean forward. The Oregon presence is thin but welcome, and the broader domestic selection fills out a list that's built for volume, not discovery.
Sixteen to twenty glass pours across sparkling, white, rosé, and red is genuinely solid for this format — you're not stuck choosing between two Chardonnays and a house red. Prices run $11–$19 a glass, which is fair for Henderson and keeps the tab reasonable even if you're going bottle-free. The rotation doesn't appear to change much, so don't expect anything seasonal or chef-driven to show up mid-summer.
A to Z Wineworks Pinot Gris, Oregon — $13
A to Z punches above its price point consistently — bright, versatile, and built for seafood. At the lower end of the glass pour range in a restaurant where the average entrée runs $25+, this is the move if you're keeping it smart.
Donini Pinot Grigio, Veneto, Italy 2024
Most people will reach straight for the Santa Margherita because they recognize the name, but Donini delivers a similar profile at a friendlier price. It's the kind of overlooked pour that goes perfectly with a raw bar spread without anyone feeling like they compromised.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, Valdadige, Italy 2024
Santa Margherita is a fine wine, but it's also one of the most reliably marked-up bottles in casual dining. You're paying for the brand recognition here, not the wine. The Donini sitting next to it on the list drinks similarly and costs meaningfully less — don't let the label steer you wrong.
A to Z Wineworks Pinot Gris, Oregon + Fresh Oysters on the Half Shell
Oregon Pinot Gris has the acidity to cut through brine and the weight to actually complement the oyster rather than disappear next to it. It's a cleaner, more interesting choice than the default Chardonnay reach, and it makes the raw bar experience noticeably better.
✔️ The Bottom Line
King's Fish House Henderson isn't a wine destination and doesn't pretend to be — but the list is fairly priced, the glass pour options are plentiful, and there are smart choices in there if you know where to look. Send a friend here for the oysters and tell them to skip the Santa Margherita.
Galleria · Henderson · American Sports Bar & Grill
Twin Peaks Henderson is a sports bar — a good one, by all accounts — and you should treat it like one. Drink the beer, it's served ice cold and that's the whole idea. The wine list is an afterthought, and ordering from it feels like asking a bounce house rental company for fine dining recommendations.

Borracha is a tequila bar that also sells wine, and the list reflects that priority clearly. If your crew is on margaritas and you want a glass of something approachable, you'll find it — just don't show up expecting a wine destination.

BJ's wine program is a placeholder, not a destination — but the Tuesday/Wednesday half-price bottle deal makes it a functional option if you're already here for the Pizookie and the company. Don't come for the wine; stay for the beer.

Benihana's wine list won't win any awards, and the markups are par for the chain-restaurant course — but there are a few smart picks buried in here if you know where to look. Come for the show, drink strategically.

Bonefish Grill Henderson isn't a wine destination — it's a reliable neighborhood option that does just enough right to avoid embarrassing itself. Send a friend here if they want a decent glass with good seafood and zero drama; just don't expect the list to excite anyone who actually cares about wine.

The Cheesecake Factory wine list is fine — and fine is the ceiling. Come for the dessert and the company; order the wine if you must, but don't expect it to be the highlight of your night.
