I love this place!! – Corkscrew has recently become one of my favorite hangouts! Definitely a classier alternative to your local bar. Doyle and Andy, the owners, always make time to get to know the customers, and that says a lot about the place. Clientel is totally random; a good place to people-watch with friends ;) Large selection of wine for any budget (best to split a bottle) and AMAZING FOOD. You've got to try the gorgonzola pizza...absolutely the best. I think they recently started having live music on Mondays and Wedn... read more
Cheers with Wine – Reminds me of Cheers except it is wine. A totally relaxing atmosphere with attractive and helpful staff.
Has been better in the past.. – I was one of the first in through the doors at corkscrew. At first, this was a great place, but since the beginning, their wine prices have risen steadily, and the service has become very poor. Great wine stewards like Bree and Robin were let go of and the new staff knows little about wine. The selection is also very poor, with many bottles that are easily found at Spec's and even HEB. Nice atmosphere, but...
solid spot – Overall I think this is a unique place with a good future. This place has a different feel than Max's Wine Dive or Cova further down Washington. They change up their wines often and are attentive to their inventory. Small bumps in the road - they're getting a little pricey and sometimes the waitstaff seems like they'd rather be at the spa than helping you out.
Best Wine for the Soul – The Corkscrew is a favorite hangout of mine. It's an intimate, cozy venue where self-indulgence knows no boundaries. With 300+ wine list, and free tastings every Wednesdays and Thursdays, you?ll become a wine connoisseur in no time. Laura?s Truffles? are rich and luscious. But beware: You?ll be left craving for more! The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, offering nothing less than pampering perfection. Owners Andy & Doyle have a heart of gold encased in wit & sharp humor. They go out of their way... read more
Where everybody knows your name... – I feel compelled to respond to a previous review regarding the safety of the Corkscrew. I have been a regular customer since it opened over a year ago. It is the only place I've been in Houston that I feel offers an environment of welcome and sincere security. I go in frequently by myself, as do many of my female friends...often to meet up there, arriving in separate cars. I have NEVER encountered a panhandler in the parking lot brazen enough to approach me. Although it is located in the ... read more
Cheers for the Corkscrew – This is my first time on city search. I don't normally seek out such sites. I haven't the time. But a girlfriend of mine pointed me here and I'm glad she did. I would like to tell you about my favorite little wine bar called The Corkscrew. Who has ever watched the situational comedy, Cheers, and hasn't long for a place to go where "everybody knows your name"? You won't get closer to Cheers than the Corkscrew. I've been going there since they opened, and there isn't a person I know that once they tr... read more
This wine bar puts all others to shame....we can't get enough! – My girlfriends and I have been hanging at this wine bar lately and we absolutely love it. The chics that work there have all learned our names and even remember what we drank last time we were there. Laura...the one wine steward that makes those amazing chocolates even ordered our pizza for us last time. THey couldn't be friendlier or more attentive. We always get the best service and the owners seem to always be around ready to help us with our wine selection.... read more
Can't open a corkscrew – My girlfriends and I attended this establishment a week ago, we had never been there before but someone had said it was close to our apartment; so we went; much to our regret. As soon as we got out of the car we were approached by four men asking for money, we tried to avoid them, but they followed us to the door. There was no security, and we thought it better to be in a public place than a dark parking lot. The men left once we entered the establishment; we told a waitress what had happened, she of... read more
