Screwtop Wine Bar

Stopped in here with a friend for the first time on a Tuesday night expecting it to be pretty dead but even on a cold night this place got busy pretty quickly by 6pm. The serving staff was very attentive and would go out of their way to recommend wines ... you know, in case Rose isn't your immediate go-to selection.

The food was primarily small bites, but they're also pretty awesome like bacon wrapped dates, how do you go wrong with that? You don't.

The crowd that night was mostly people on dates but also a few small groups so if you're out scavenging for singles, good luck with that. Just grab some friends and enjoy the wine, then go elsewhere if that's your end game.

Happy hour ends at 6pm but it starts at 11am. No, i'm not recommending showing up at 11am but who's judging? I thought the Cab Sav options were all pretty amazing, can't speak for the rest.

Come early and grab a spot at the bar before they're full - 5:30 at the latest.

Love this place! Great lunch deals and happy hour wine specials. Clever wine flights; always something new to try! Can't go wrong with a buffaloaf and tomato bisque...

Came here about an hour before closing with 2 friends to enjoy wine and we had a wonderful time. The waitress served us quickly and was attentive. They also had a great selection of wine and food (although we did not try the food on this trip, hopefully in the future!)

It's a bit small inside so I would not come here with a very large group. This would be a great place to visit with a small group of people

Wonderful wine bar in Clarendon. Very nice variety of wines and now a few beers. They had a great selection of creative fare as well. The only oddity of the area - with Verizon there is no/little service.

I went to Screwtop on a Monday night and the place was packed because there was a weekly wine members club event. I can understand why so many people like to come to this wine bar; the service was great and the wine was even better! They have an impressive collection of wine bottles to purchase as well as multiple tables and a bar seating area. The food menu is well thought out and designed to complement the wines.
