Sensual and Unpretentious Coupled with a Knowledgable and Attentive Staff – Wine bars are everywhere...kind of like coffee shops. What sets them apart is service, atmosphere and selection. The Corkscrew has all three. The owners are always on hand, which says a lot about how much they care about their customers. The staff are knowledgable, friendly...and rather attractive, if I do say so myself. It's also a great date place. The lighting a sensual, live jazz can be heard on Monday's and Tuesday's and there's always something... read more
Bets Wine Spot in Texas! No Snobs! – An interesting and ever changing selection of delicious wines with truffles, beautiful cheese trays, a knowledgeable and very friendly waitstaff. I love this place and you will too! Great ambiance,interesting architecture,cool wall mural - great place for a romantic fun date or classy business lunch!
The Best Wine Bar In The City – This amazing find on Washington Avenue is well worth your time. The whole place has a warm and welcoming vibe. Its a phenomenal addition to the neighborhood. The owners deserve praise for spending the time and money to tastefully restore an older brick building instead of locating it in a generic strip mall. The wine selection is outstanding and very reasonably priced. If youre looking to try new wines or dont know much about wines the friendly staff, weekly classes, and tastings will open you... read more
Great Experience – My wife and I are, what you night call,geriatric (read "old"), yet we always come away from the Corkscrew with a young at heart feeling. There is something about the friendly, homey atmosphere and the respect with which we are treated by the staff and even the other patrons that takes years off our lives (spiritually if not physically). We have never failed to make friends at the Corkscrew. We are not true wine connoisseurs but the knowledgeable staff always seems to find something good for us from their e... read more
Excellent Customer Service and an Unmatchable Ambiance – I bet that guy's girlfriend or ex-girlfriend slashed his tire... who the hell slashes for fun...he must have been out with someone else. After all, it is an intimate atmosphere perfect for a date. The staff is absolutely welcoming and you will feel like you are right at home. They have a HUGE selection of wines but also serve beer. So if you are a lady who likes to drink wine but your man drinks beer it is a perfect compromise! The cheeses are to die for and the truffl... read more
Stay Away----Not Recommended At All – If you haven't been to the Corkscrew yet, you are missing out! What a cool place. It's definitely not like any of the other wine bars in Houston. It's far from sterile and full of personality. Not to mention a fabulous wine selection at toally reasonable prices. They even have great specials on certain nights. Live jazz in the lounge sometimes too. In addition, there's also a private wine room in the back. The place is huge. The owners are brothers and are the friendliest and funniest gu... read more
No better hang on washington..... – or in houston, for that matter. i came to town from new orleans (no refugee cracks, please) and was searching for a chill, soulful hang. i was happily surprised to find this place... the corkscrew has the best wine, the rocking staff, and the s*xy atmosphere to give great vibe to even monday nights... don't know about wine? the people there will hook you up without the least bit of snobbery, which can't be said about any other wine bar this side of town... trust me - as a lush, i know of w... read more
Great place but security an issue – Great wines!! Great atmosphere!! Great service!! But I had my tire slashed while I was there. I parked at the car dealer next door. I would not go back due to concerns with security and not wanting to change my tire again.
My friends and I love this place! – We frequent the corkscrew everyweek ppractically! We are even thinking of getting a wine locker their. I love their cheese trays and sometimes we stay so long that we order in italian delivery. They carry all price ranges and their selection is delish! If you have not been then you are really missin out!
