    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,

    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!

    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.

    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 !

    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

    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!

    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.

    A beautiful Gamay from France paired with a beautiful tomme chebris from France.

    Beautiful atmospheric! Amazing wine selections! If you're wanting to venture your tastebuds come here. I personally had St. Cyr, Gamay, Beaujolais, from France and paired it with a delicious tomme chebris! Harry is extremely knowledgeable and helpful as well. Will definitely be coming back next time I visit Charlotte

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Pictured: Fancy Caviar Service (9.5/10) Spiced Tuna Pate (8.5/10) Rosé (10/10) Reisling (10/10) Likes: This wine bar is very laid back and the staff is super helpful in assisting you with which wine to choose. 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! Dislikes: The bread was a little hard but overall I have no real dislikes for this super fun place! Overall Rating: 4.5

    Caviar, potato chips and crème fresh...yummy!

    Snacks seemed to be enjoyed by the others around me, but I'm just not all that into charcuterie or caviar.

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

    Ugh, I so wanted to LOVE this place! It's in my friend's neighborhood and near some other spots we…read morelove. But it just hit me as average. It's a small intimate setting and I do love the dark aesthetic they did. Gives it a swanky vibe and makes a great date spot. But they were burning incense in the tiny space and it was overwhelming. The other bar guests sitting next to us agreed. *They did finally pick up on it and the staff moved it toward the kitchen door* Staff was friendly as well, though, it was busy and looked as if they had a trainee in tow, so attention was lacking just a bit. So why we came: The drinks were average to me. One was weird (Pineapple Fried Rice) and I just couldn't get it sit well on my palate - and I tried - sip after sip. But the mixologist saw my struggle and swapped it out for a different one. I did like the Don't Shy Away - it was an interesting take on a margarita with a strong carrot base. The Whispering Dove was a take on a Paloma and I couldn't find the lemongrass infusion on my palate. So I found it pretty basic, but pricey. So overall, decent. And I might stop buy if I was stuck in the area again.

We ordered the kale Caesar, the nachos, and fries. The nacho cheese tasted very processed and they didn't come with salsa. When I asked the waitress for some, she said that they don't actually have salsa. The fries were the best thing we had. I'd go again, but probably just to have a drink.

They have several options for draft beer and a lot of them are local craft brews which we enjoy. We like to support local businesses and so does Growlers. They source their ingredients from local farms! The flavor profiles for the things we ordered were very good but there were a few execution issues. The Carnitas Nachos were good but the chips were not crisp, and the cheese sauce was grainy. The carnitas were tender but could use more seasoning, and once you get past the top layer, it's mostly just chips. I ordered the wings and asked for the three pepper and the jerk. I chose the blue cheese dip and it's the best that I've had in a very, very long time. Thick and creamy with lots of chunky blue. I'd go back just for that. The three pepper was delicious and the wings still had a super crispy skin. Absolutely an excellent wing. The flavor of the jerk is amazing. It's a perfectly balanced blend of sweet and warm spices, but the sauce had been reduced down too quickly and you still got the graininess from the spice. Overall, a few things could be tweaked, but it was a fun experience.
