Twisted Vines Bottleshop and Bistro, 2803 Columbia Pike

What's it like?

"Ambiance was perfect; a buzz at the bar, a quiet table for two that felt like we were alone in an intimate setting, and an attentive yet subtle server that seemed to know just when to ask us what we needed. I loved the selection of wine flights, and my husband could not get over the scotch selection." -- Yelp reviewer Chelle L.

"It was totally fun and the bartender was so friendly and talkative. ... All and all we will totally return for more wine flights because the wines change all the time. They also have a parking lot there which is great." - Yelp reviewer Emily D.

Screwtop Wine Bar, 1025 N. Fillmore Street

What's it like?

"As soon as I walked in, I loved the charm of the place - it felt like I was in Europe for the afternoon. They're a restaurant and wine bar, and also a shop that sells wine bottles and various jams/accompaniments. The whole feel was so relaxed and comfortable." - Yelp reviewer Chandani C.

"My friend and I called it "speechless food" There was no conversation happening while indulging on this gloriousness. We also had a cheese and meat plate with various spreads and jellies with a nice mix of bread and seeded crackers. We also splurged on a wine flight with three kinds of white." - Yelp reviewer Zaria S.

Bistro 360 Wine Bar, Market & Restaurant, 1800 Wilson Boulevard

What's it like?

"Walking in I was a little confused - you had the restaurant section, the walls are covered with wine bottles and there are ready made food just to grab and go. But once you sit, order from the great options in the menu (and not pricey at all) and have a cocktail - everything falls into place. Great food, drinks, prices, service." - Yelp reviewer Michal R.

"They also have a little market and bar on the other side of the facility. Wine tasting, lunch seating etc etc. They have reasonable corkage fees as well." - Yelp reviewer Michael C.

Northside Social Coffee & Wine, 3211 Wilson Boulevard

What's it like?

"Hmmm. Where do I go for a beautiful latte with outside seating, a place to work, and with an upstairs option to have wine? Northside Social!" - Yelp reviewer Jaime W.

"Northside Social is pretty sick in the sense that you can escape away for a drink because the Wine Bar is right upstairs. JACKPOT! What a solid deal. That also maybe be the one reason why I keep coming back." - Yelp reviewer Krina P.

Cheesetique, 800 N. Glebe Road

What's it like?

"It is a very well lit atmosphere, bar is right in the middle and the curved windows offer a nice open view of bustling Glebe Rd." - Yelp reviewer Raquel R.

"The space is really pretty and the lighting is great. It's got a long bar in the middle and the walls are lined with bottles of wines if not next to a window. It's obviously hip and cool and I can see this place being filled up during happy hour and dinner times." - Yelp reviewer Yuchen Z.
