In their words
What guests are saying.
"Corkscrew is my favorite wine bar in the greater Charlotte area! The atmosphere is wonderful and the bartenders and staff are great. Josh always makes the best recommendations for drinks! Great place for a date night, grabbing a drink after work, and even solo!"
"I have always been happy with my experiences at Corkscrew, but when I was there a few weeks ago, it was worthy of a five star review. Charles was an absolute delight — so knowledgeable about wine, attentive, kind, and engaging."
"Our favorite wine bar in the Charlotte metro. Not only do they offer special, not-so-commercial wines by the glass and bottle, they make amazing cocktails. Finger foods are solid and you can buy a bottle of wine on the way out from the retail area."
"This is a wine bar with lots of alcohol choices. You can get anything. It was perfect for a girls night out. Very cozy atmosphere with a low light. We had a great time talking, drinking and listening to live music."
"Loved the atmosphere AND the drinks! This is the kind of spot I was hoping to find in Charlotte — but thankfully it's just a short drive away! I appreciated the opportunity to relax and savor a drink without any pressure."
"Love going to this place to relax and have a glass of wine or three. I go at least once a week."
"Tonight, I went to celebrate a coworker. Having recently undergone significant oral surgery, I am limited to eating soft foods only. Stewart came out with a special plate for me, featuring only soft foods and untoasted bread. Such a genuine, thoughtful act of kindness. Y'all have earned a customer for life."
"Fantastic experience last night. The wine selection is unbelievable, only to be matched by the incredible knowledge of the staff. Sarah made excellent recommendations for the charcuterie board as well. She was friendly, bubbly and honestly made our experience."
"Fantastic cocktails and service. Haven't tried much of the food menu, but I would definitely recommend for the drinks alone."
