Corkscrew = Awesome – This place is a great wine bar. The atmosphere is laid back and the service is great. The wines are always changing which keeps me coming back to broaden my wine drinking horizons. Cool staff too. Highly reccomend it for an after work hang out or a date spot.

The best wine bar in town. – The Corkscrew is definitely the best wine bar in town. It's acomfortable, no-nonsense place you can hang out with your girlfriends, coworkers or on a date, and have a great time. The wine is excellent, the staff is attentive (but not annoying) and they've recently added to their menu, kicking it up a notch. The cheese plate is my fav. Paninis are also a good bet. At any rate, my last visit, heard about Wineapalooza... a feastival the Corkscrew puts on annually. It's October 4th and will feature m... read more

This plays only Screws you!! – This has to be one of the worsr wine bars in town or anywhere for that matter! The wine wall looks like the leftovers nobody wants at the 7elevn. Seriously, slim pickins!!! The frozen pizzas are nasty and the cheese plate is pitiful, can not even make your own selection! The only really reason to go there is not even there anymore...hot, friendly blondes. The rest of the staff seems bitter and well, not too thrilled to work there. Don't waste your time or your money! 

Business response:

What an as$hole - go to a titty bar if you want to check out hot blonds - this place is awesome hope i don't see you there next time I go haha (cuz i am a hot blond)

Plastic plates, supermarket cheese and bad service! – Great location and place, but the service was terrible. Since we were a two person table, it took them quite a bit to pay us any attention vs. the loud and more numerous table right next to us. I was really excited to go to this place since my boyfriend and I are always looking for new and cool wine bars to hang out and have a good time. Our meat and cheese platter was served on plastic plates and I've had better platters from a supermarket. Needless to say I was really d... read more

Great Casual atmosphere with a great wine selection and value!! – Corkscrew is a great place to lounge for a casual and relaxed outing with friends. They have a great varietal selection of wine that's won't leave your pockets empty. And they have even extend their menu allowing for more choice of food from wine and cheese to paninis and pizzas!! It's also a great place for large groups as they have a separate wine cellar room you can reserve to the great room next door!!

Wine Bar with Staying Power – Compared with many of the other wine bars around town this is one of my two favorites. The staff is always helpful. I found several new favorite wines for under $10 a glass and it's a generous pour. The price does not have tax added on to it which is a very annoying habit some other wine bars in town have. The cheese plates could use a little work on their presentation but not it that means raising the price. Parking is easy and the doormen have always insisted on making sure women are watched o... read more

The Best Wine Bar! – Compared to other wine bars in the area, this is the best! The wines are affordable and the selection is changed and updated regularly. It always seems full but I have never had a hard time finding a table or couch. The corkscrew offers a place where people can hang out, talk, and enjoy drinks without breaking the bank. Try the truffles with a tasty Cab or Malbec.

Needs a little more something. – This was my 5th visit in 2 years to this little place and I still feel it needs a little something to put it above the rest of the Washington Ave. venues that are popping up and down this street/area. My co-workers and I were having an impromptu together this ending week and being neighbors in the area we wanted to support a place close to our office and that we all would feel comfortable in given our diverse group. The ambiance, surroundings, interior is cozy & wonderful. The noise level doe... read more
