About Chleo
Chleo is a cozy and refined wine bar in Kingston’s historic Stockade District, created by culinary veterans Hope Troup Mathews and Charles Mathews. Housed in a beautifully reimagined space designed by Brooklyn’s Islyn Studio, Chleo blends rustic elegance with a laid-back atmosphere, inviting guests to gather over small plates, natural wines, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. The experience is rooted in simplicity and community—no reservations, just walk in, find a seat, and stay as long as you like. With an open kitchen centered around a wood-fired grill, guests are part of the action, whether seated at the bar or a nearby table.
Described by its founders as a "culinary clubhouse," Chleo reflects the couple’s deep love for the wine bar format—offering a constantly evolving menu of vegetable-forward small plates, housemade pastas, and inventive proteins, all prepared with fine-dining technique and fire-kissed flair. Highlights might include grilled short rib with mushroom duxelles or bolognese bianco with aged gouda and honey. The drinks list leans natural, but playful, featuring everything from Chianti to small-batch vermouth and sherry. With seating for just 30 guests and an open, inviting layout, Chleo is both an everyday haunt and a special occasion destination—a modern neighborhood gem shaped by culinary craft and genuine hospitality.
