International small plates & sandwiches served in a lively & laid-back venue with global wines.
Tucked upstairs in a historic downtown Flagstaff building, FLG Terroir is a wine bar and bistro built around global bottles and small plates meant for sharing. It's earned a 4.7-star rating across 339 reviews — a serious showing for a bar-and-bistro spot — with regulars praising the long, dimly lit room and a kitchen that keeps cooking well past most Flagstaff kitchens' closing time.
The mushroom risotto and mushroom Alfredo pasta come up again and again as reviewer favorites, alongside oversized meatballs, tomato pie, oysters, and steak. On the wine side, bottles are available by the glass or you can buy one to open at the table for a $10 corkage fee — a nice option for anyone who wants to dig into the list without committing to a full bottle blind. One reviewer singled out a cava-based house cocktail with pronounced clove notes as an unexpected standout.
It's a favorite for a reason, though a few recent reviews flag slower service on busy nights — worth knowing if you're on a tight schedule before a show or an early drive back to the South Rim.

We loved the wine and service from the friendly staff, but here was the big surprise - the food was GREAT too. The mushroom Alfredo pasta was to die for and a bigger than I expected. The meatballs were huge (albeit a bit cold) and the risotto quite tasty. Priced reasonably. Back to the wine…lots of options so buy it by the glass or pick out a bottle to buy there and open for a $10 corkage fee. We also had great oysters and steak! Very cozy and comfortable vibe. VictorB

Great find. The house cocktail was such a surprise - cava in wine. The notes of clove were very pronounced. It is not too loud, perfectly lit ambience for a conversation. The staff were very friendly. The best part was that the kitchen was open till late - 11pm. We ordered the mushroom risotto and it was amazing. Would definitely visit again when in Flagstaff.

Started off that it could be nice, but boy were we wrong. Called ahead to see if there was a wait. “Nope, we’re a bar, no wait at all.” Beautiful room, up some weird rickety carpeted stairs (not wheelchair accessible) in an old apartment building. Beautiful long room, very dimly lit, empty at first. We got a table for our party, got some plates and utensils. Took a little bit to review the menu and then placed our orders at the bar. The older gray/white haired man with glasses and a ponytail was running around like crazy, and seemed to be extremely distracted and wearing too many hats. Would walk away multiple times from us at the bar as we each placed our order, changing the vinyl record player, cleaning up dishes, etc. Was very rude and abrupt to some in our party. Half of our party ordered our food at 7:12pm (per our receipt) and we did not get it until 8:46pm. We were sitting by the kitchen, open view, and the two young men working in the kitchen definitely seemed extremely overworked and probably underpaid. They worked fast and well, and I guess our ticket got completely lost. Half of our party got their food shortly after ordering. The other half did not. The server in the beanie hat with a beard also seemed to be overworked and running around like crazy, nice and polite, but told us about 1 hour into our wait for our meal that one of the items we had ordered had run out and they could refund it or substitute it. One in our party kindly but sternly asked the staff to refund those in the party whose meal was an hour and a half late, which they did thankfully. But any other restaurant worth their salt would have already apologized and offered to comp the extremely late meal without us asking. Once we finally got our meal, the house potato fingerlings were horribly tough. They were worse than when you over cook a baked potato in the microwave. If we were not starving, they would have been inedible. Part of the meal that was an hour and a half late was a charcuterie board….that should have been out immediately!!! The music was way too loud and overpowering. As we waited for our meal, other tables came and went, were served and changed and refilled and emptied. The bathrooms were large and down a lonely deserted hall, so definitely take a buddy. The server in the beanie and the kitchen staff did their jobs well enough, we don’t fault them. But definitely ridiculous. Gray haired bar man, rude and abrupt. Never even apologized to us at all. They keep credit cards for your tab if you have one. Don’t return it until closing the tab. They had some gluten free menu items, but again, who knows if they are any good normally; our food was overdone, and extremely late.

As a local, I love FLG Terroir and highly recommend it as one of Flagstaff's hidden secrets. We went last week and had incredible service from Amelia who deserves a special shout out, as it's people like her who really make the experience at locally owned and operated places like FLG Terroir. Can't wait to go back. Local tip: this is the perfect place to hang out on a rainy or snowy day or night and watch people on the street below. Would love to see them mimic some of the cool vinyl jazz bars I've been to in Japan!

This place is a HIDDEN GEM! It's easy to miss since it's upstairs downtown but you absolutely must try it. Amazing wine and beer selection and amazing food. An incredible selection of games, definitely the best at a bar. The ambiance cannot be beat. This is definitely a place to go on a date, hang out with friends, or even just chill and do homework. The staff is fantastic - super well educated on wine. Love this place!!!!
