I love this place. I've been coming here off and on for two years and it's consistently great service and amazing menu options. Perfect place for pre or post dinner :) read more

Bar a Vins - This was one of their brut...very good - Wine Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I will start by saying that the wines by the glass here are very overpriced, so next time I come, I'll def just buy a bottle. I'm a champagne lover so I grabbed the "cheapest" one by the glass (which is still over $20), but it was awful - it was very chardonnay based, which I abhor. I couldn't drink more than a few sips of it before I gave up and ordered the next step up of their wine by the glass. I was totally prepared to pay for both glasses, but my server was super kind and noticed that I ignored the first glass and ended up taking it off my bill which was very kind and I appreciated a lot (it's what made me want to come back). My sis and I also ordered some cheese and charcuterie, which was yummy, but I'll admit they could use adding some jam and mustard (maybe a fruit) to the board to make it a little less dry. We still ate most of it though! Ambiance was really nice as they weren't super packed when we went. It was fairly quiet people wise, though they do play their 90s r&b a bit loud. Our server the entire time was also really great. Very kind, attentive, and again I super appreciated that he saw that I wasn't a fan of my first wine. Next time, I'll be sure to grab a bottle, not any wine by the glass. I'd recommend the same for anyone else coming here given the prices of wine by the glass here! read more

Went here when they had hello uncle pop up food on a Wednesday night. Overall okay experience, definitely a tight space. They do not allow outside food, which is kinda unfortunate because their menu is not really children friendly. The service was okay. I wouldn't come here again just because it's kinda inconvenient. Parking you have to pay. Not my favorite area. read more

My favorite wine bar in all of Charlotte. To the reviews noting that the music is too loud, there wasn't child friendly food, or they don't offer flights: that's simply not the point. Bar a vin is a spot you come to drink good wine and listen to their delightfully curated playlist. This is not a winery nor does every establishment need to be extremely child friendly. Love Bar a Vin for who they are and they'll love you right back! The service is always friendly and personable, their wine list is thoughtfully curated for the changing seasons, and I would die happily with a bowl of their olives and quicos. I love my neighborhood wine bar! read more

Decent selection of wines and snacks to order as well. Cute date spot. Would have loved to have a flight for wine tasting to try a few options as well, read more

Bar a Vins - Inside - Wine Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

So lovely!! We stopped in after work for a glass of wine and small bites and had a great experience. It is so nice being on the main drag in NoDa - great people watching! Harry was our server and was exceptional - he was knowledgeable about all the wines and unique meats/cheeses to build a charcuterie board. He helped us try wines we likely would have never gone for! The atmosphere is very minimalist with a focus on wine and one of the best parts for me personally, they played east coast hip hop the entire time! Parking is either street parking or paid public parking - I paid $10 for 2 hours so not too bad! read more

Fun, laid back and lovely little natural wine bar. Incredibly selection of bubbly too. Well curated cheese, charcuterie, caviar and the best sourdough bread and butter service in the city. We love the staff and the whole vibe. If you want a place to take out of town friends or family this is the place to share a bottle of wine and lovely afternoon. read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon searching for a place to work and grab a bite. When I walked in around 12:30/1 pm, I was only the second part of the day. By the time I left at 5:30 pm, this place was buzzing. I ordered the marinated anchovies and the Aliso cheese. Both came with bread, so there was a ton to eat. The marinated anchovies were delicious. High-quality fish and super flavorful. The bread, butter and cheese were all delicious and high quality. I was complete with what was presented. Their wines are perfection. Not your run-of-the-mill selection. I had a Vinho Verde Tinto, a Nebbiolo and an excellent sommelier's choice. All in all, I think I took down five glasses from 12-5 pm, but I was super productive, which was a nice change of pace from the typical coffee house work vibe. I highly recommend this place for a lovely wine bar moment with friendske alone. read more

If you're looking for a spot to chat with some friends and sip on some amazing wine then this is your place. The ambiance is always a vibe. The service is so nice and quick. The wine is DELISH & I love the small bites they offer. read more

Rustic inside this was a little place we went to before dinner for pre drinks. Great little wine bar with a nice choice of reds, whites, Rosè and an orange wine . They carry beer too and some light snacks . Also a bottle shop where you can buy bottles to go. Looked like a great variety of stuff. I had the orange wine . Hadn't had it in awhile. Was nice and different , light and dry. Perfect for a warm day. My friend had the Rosè and said the same for that. Great wine glasses ! Light ware and nice shape. Loved them ! Great service at the table, they keep your water filled to. Casual place for a quiet drink . Nice bar area too. I love how they restored the walls exposed brick . Unusual. Will like to try some other stuff on their list next time ! Cute spot ! read more

(10/8/23) I found myself in NODA for work and stopped in at Bar a Vins. It has a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. Harry was behind the bar. Harry is the resident sommelier and oenophile. He made a great suggestion for a non alcoholic wine. I was flabbergasted that such a thing existed. It was a riesling and it had a mineral finish. I paired it with a plate of smoked salmon with a verdant loaf, crème fresh and capers. It was light and filling. Bar a Vin has an extensive wine menu as well as a sheet of bites. I consider myself lucky to have been able to enjoy my time at this place. I will return. read more

Great wine. Knowledgeable staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Good place to meet a friend and catch up.

Bar a Vins describes themselves as a wine dive bar. I don't think I would go so far as to call them a dive bar, but it definitely has a laid back neighborhood atmosphere that may be a lot more comfortable to some than your typical wine bar. I have always been more of a beer guy, but I appreciate a nice glass of wine and like trying all different kinds. I stopped in on an early Friday evening and took a seat at the bar. I had an early morning planned and didn't want to stay out late but it had been a long week so I thought a glass or two was just what I needed. They serve by the bottle as well by the glass, and prices are pretty typical to what you would expect at a wine bar, that is to say, it isn't the cheapest way to drink. Still the atmosphere was cozy, with both couples and groups of friends as well as the other solo dwellers like myself all at home taking in the vibes. The bartenders are very knowledgeable about wine and they have great recommendations and very accurately were able to describe the different flavors of the two wines I ended up trying. Overall it was a very pleasant evening and I would recommend this place to wine lovers as well as those who want to try something new. read more

This was my 1st wine bar experience. The place was very full when we arrived at 8 o'clock. The server was attentive, and the wine list was extensive. You can order by the glass or by the bottle. They also had some meats and cheeses that you can get to accompany you are a wine tasting experience read more

I've always thought of NoDa as the home of hidden gems, but they've completely outdone themselves with Bar a Vins! Newly opened this past Spring, Bar a Vins is the mellow, unassuming wine bar with an amazing vibe that I never knew I needed...but now can't do without. From the mellow lighting & choice of bar, table, or cute corner seating to the AMAZING playlist--yes, I will take my wine with a side of 90's rap/R&B!--to the impressive wine selection, Bar a Vins delivers tens across the board. Add in excellent service & the true star of the show--$18 caviar service w/crème fraiche & Lays chips--and you've got one HIGHLY recommended experience. Cheers! read more

Stopped in for a little "wine down" after a hefty dinner. My son and I have wanted to check this place out every since it opened a few months ago. I must say I was pleasantly pleased with everything. The ambience, the wine selection, the music, and the service was top notch. Our server, Kenya, was such a pleasant young lady who willingly answered questions and made excellent suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will be sure to drop in again soon. read more

Last Friday was my first visit to Bar A Vins...it won't be my last. This wine bar is stylish, yet comfortable. I enjoyed a glass of wine that was golden in color with notes of honey. Just describe it to the general manager or Kenya and they will know exactly which one to serve you. By the way, service was top notch! For those of you who don't drink, there is a delicious non alcoholic version of wine available. This is a popular bar, so arrive early! read more

A wonderful addition to the area! Love the laid back, yet elevated ambiance, making it such a comfortable spot to grab a drink and some snacks. We ordered a bottle of wine with a selection of different starters including the cheese board and burrata. The cheeseboard comes with a generous selection of different cheese - of your choosing. The burrata was delicious as well! read more

This little hole in the wall was definitely a fun place to try on a date night or with a group of friends! The ambiance is extremely cool and the staff are very knowledgable about wine. I asked for something sweet and they educated me on how to ask for "sweet" wine, without referring to it as sweet. I loved the choice they chose for me (La Pepie Muscadet 2022) because it was sweet but not too sweet. The food options are slim, unless you like a tapas style of eating. We just got wine and then had dinner at another place in NoDa, but overall the vibes are really cute and I'll definitely be back! read more

I tried a couple different glasses and they were all delicious. The Caviar with the Lays was absolutely delicious, a totally unexpected combo that I will definitely be going back for soon! They have a HUGE bottle selection in the back and you can choose one to take home or enjoy in house!

Completely obsessed with this place! Bar à Vins has only been open for a couple of weeks; however, co-owner Natalie Stewart told me they've been slammed, "which is great!" she said, but something they didn't expect right off the bat. Friends and sommeliers Natalie and Jeff Kellogg just opened this 1,800-square ft wine bar in NoDa. Their goal: to offer affordable, approachable, and exciting wines. You can enjoy wines by the glass by the bottle (+ retail) AND there are even snacks (think @verdant Bread & Butter offering, Fancy Caviar Service with Lay's chips and crème fraiche for an approachable $18 or upgrade to fancier caviar for $36, an array of tinned fish, and more) Charlotte has been in desperate need for loungey, enjoy-in-house, wine-focused bars with COOL and EXCITING wines hand-selected by sommeliers who know their juice!! The space is gorgeous yet has this divey feeling to it. What I enjoyed on my first visit: a bottle of chilled orange wine, of course. The 2020 COS Pithos Bianco is made with organically farmed Grecanico grapes in Italy. I love the scent of pear, notes of dried apricot and minerals, and the thirst quenching finish of salinity! Fun fact: Well-known local Charlotte restaurateur and sommelier Katy Kindred designed the space. read more

This is a really cool and chill spot for a girls or date night. This is also a great spot for day drinking which is how I experienced Bar a Vins during Memorial weekend. Me and a friend were in NoDa and decided to stop in after lunch and enjoy a glass of wine. The owner actually suggested wines for us based on what we told her we typically like and she was SPOT ON. I wish I remembered what I drank but it was such a light and crisp white wine. A very easy sip. If I hadn't already eaten, I would've ordered the caviar and potato chips. Nice bar set up as well as an airy seating area. There are plenty of bottles of wine to browse and the owner is very knowledgeable, in case you are a wine snob and/or know someone who is. read more

If you are looking for a fun and laid back place to enjoy a glass of wine with some delicious snacks I highly recommend Bar A Vins! I've tried their fancy caviar service, bread & butter, cheese board and enjoyed all of them! They also source from local small businesses with great quality products like Verdant Bread and Orrman's Cheese Shop which means by supporting one small business you also get to support other incredible shops in CLT win/win ! Service can feel a tad slow at times, but they are always quick to assist if you approach the bar. It's one of my go to places for a date night or to chat with friends! read more

I have been dying to check out Bar a Vins since they opened up right around the corner from my apartment in Noda. I love wine, so I was excited about a wine bar right down the street! From first impression I thought the inside was a bit boring or bare. The ambiance wasn't cozy or even eclectic which you tend to see in wine bars. It wasn't very crowded when I stopped by but I chose to sit at the bar anyway because the tables seemed to be dark and pushed towards the back. Even though it wasn't crowded it was pretty loud in there. They should maybe consider adding in some sound absorbing padding to the ceiling or even on the walls/benches. There was an echoing effect in there. Not much else other than the tables and chairs. The wine was amazing though! My friend and I shared a bottle of the orange wine. I have had orange wine one other time and really loved it. It reminded me a bit of a pinot Grigio. Loved it and the color was pretty! There is a $10 corkage fee if you decide to enjoy your bottle in the bar, just a heads up! We also wanted to try the caviar and chips that I had been hearing about. We opted for the Fish roe with creme fresh and lays potato chips. Very great and interesting combination. A mixture of creamy, salty, crunchy and salty again from the burst of the caviar. I will definitely come back before dinner or something! read more

NoDa needed a wine bar and I love this one! Great wine list, I'm really a new wine drinker and I'm not snobby about Grand Crus or buying expensive bottles to show off and this is a very easy, approachable spot. Ended a rainy night here and was more than pleased. Sasha and Kenya offered great service and recommendations on their by the glass list. I could've bought a bottle but didn't. Just enjoyed the cute space and easy going vibe while I was there. Snacks seemed to be enjoyed by the others around me, but I'm just not all that into charcuterie or caviar. The Bouzeron is nice! I can't wait to try more. Great quality wines, glass and service. read more
