Drinks were awesome, food was great, service was good too. We sat on the back porch, which had a view and the kids could run around a bit. We tried the fries, asparagus dip, Gouda Mac and cheese, pot pie, and crab cake burger. Salad could have been dressed more but everything else was spot on. Kids enjoyed it all too. If we came back we would be watching for reservations as they were concerned about us getting a table at all, and it was 4pm. read more

American restaurant & Wine Bar in downtown Occoquan Menu is pretty straightforward American cuisine, though they have a bunch of drink options that also includes a few cocktails in addition to their wine/beer selection. They also allow you to make a flight with 2 oz pours of any wines you're interested in My fiance and I came for dinner on a Friday night and opted to sit on the patio in the front of the place (it was very loud inside). It was really nice seeing all of the people strolling around the area. We split a charcuterie & cheese board + a grilled cheese sandwich. Everything was solid. read more

My go- to for some quiet comfort indulgence or break from the hustle and bustle. No matter the time of day or busy moments, the service and food quality has been consistently good as well as the signature cocktails. They are proud mixologists as well. One of the few in Prince William County. I value the places that value me as a customer. They have a great owner and it clearly shows that they enjoy everyone that stops through to visit for a drink or some food. I have been to places where they treat the customer poorly or like a joke for some reason. Not here. All are welcome. Food. Their food is high quality and they offer special seasonal items. They play nice jams while you enjoy their delectable menu items in the restaurant, front, side or back ( river view) patios. They have a wine club you can subscribe to as well as special events you can sign up for. That information is available through email subscription. I really hate to give away my secret favorite spots, but it is time to give credit to whom it is due! + service and value of customers/attentiveness + food quality and portion + parking in the front and back (private lot) + scenic view from all patios Thank you, Bottle Stop for being one of the best places around! read more

I always meant to capture a photo of the yucca but always forget because they're so yummy and eat them immediately as they arrive at the table. Don't know how they cook those yuccas so perfectly crisp on the outside but creamy on the inside. The ambiance is versatile here for family as I take my children but also suitable for date night. Also you must get the deviled eggs! read more

Underwhelmed is the overall theme of my experience here. It's a cute spot but the food was severely lacking flavor. Cocktails were good, charcuterie board was small but tasty, the Brussels were all crisp but all fallen apart. 2 in my party ordered the steak and mentioned it needed salt and must've been a very poor cut of meat. The lamb ragu sounded so good in theory but it did not have much flavor at all. Honestly the best thing I ate was the 2 little pieces of garlic bread it came with. If I were to come back, it'd only be for drinks and appetizers - maybe dessert since we didn't have any. read more

Bottle Stop Wine Bar is one of those places that just feels easy in the best way. The kind of spot where you walk in and can actually relax - like you could become a regular, grab a seat, and say "I'll have the usual." Although honestly, that might only apply to the first drink because their menu makes it hard not to switch things up. The chicken pot pie is hands-down my go-to - it's comforting, rich, and just really well done. And the cocktails? So good. Their seasonal menu is always worth checking out, but I have to say... why can't it be fall all year long just for the smoked apple margarita? I don't even like smoky flavors, and I would happily live off that drink for a month - maybe even a year. I've been here for a private event and it was great - everything was smooth, well organized, and still had that cozy, welcoming feel. We've also had several book club nights here, and it truly never disappoints. It's one of those rare places that works just as well for a casual night out as it does for something a little more special. read more

Casual but full of life - this place was hopping both Friday and Saturday evenings (and yes, I know that because we went twice) - first night was just for drinks they have a good martini list with some inventive concoctions - I had a variation on the bees knees and my husband opted for the espresso martini (his go to) both were well-balanced and went down way too easy! They have a pretty great whisky list too for being a wine bar with whisky flights if you are looking to try a few. Fries were good but the real stars were the entrees which we went back for on Saturday - delicious crab cakes - not a spot of filler did I find - and the chicken pot pie was nice and peppery and flavorful! Food and drinks were really very good, but the service honestly was even better - for one, they remembered us the second night and despite being extremely busy everyone was very attentive - I think it's a place where you feel like you belong - which is not always easy to find highly recommend for a nice, chill or even slightly romantic night out! read more

I absolutely LOVE the Bottle Stop! Whether it's a girl' night, a date night, or just grabbing drinks with friends, it never disappoints. The drink menu is so fun and creative, and the food pairs perfectly every time. I'm already looking forward to celebrating my birthday there again this year. The team there is always so helpful and friendly. I really appreciate the time they take to recommend drinks or new menu items. Great selection of martinis and I love the wine flights! The happy meal with the fries and martini is GREAT! Deviled eggs and the yucca fries are yummy! I love the mushroom ravioli with grilled chicken and bacon! My family enjoys the patio space, and the kids love the mocktails! LOVE this spot! read more

I went to Bottle Stop midweek. They were NOT busy. NOT. BUSY. I was seated right away and my waiter brought my on tap wine order very quickly. So why the one star, you may ask. I sat there. A woman alone. The wait staff wouldn't even meet my eyes. No one checked in for my food order. I was planning on a $30 meal plus wine. But. No. One. asked me if I wanted or needed anything. For 20 full minutes! I was literally down to my last sip of wine when the owner? stopped by and asked if I was doing ok. I told her, I was going to order dinner but NO ONE has checked on me. I left. I've seen restaurant staff fall all over themselves for single male diners. Guess what friends, I earn good money too. All by my damned self. The restaurant down the street was happy to serve me and earn a fat tip ($20 tip on a $36 bill). Learn the lesson Bottle Stop. I actually live in your small town. read more

This restaurant was absolutely amazing! The food was divine, I had the steak feet and I loved it. The staff were the sweetest. The overall vibe was awesome. I loved the lighting! We are going to be regulars! read more

Bottle Stop Wine Bar - Jean the green bean - Wine Bars Near Me - Occoquan, Virginia

Great apps & charcuterie! Cozy spot for conversation & happy hour with friends. Service was good.

I love Bottle Stop. Nestled in Occoquan, they offer delicious food and drink. I've sat inside and outside and I really like their outdoor area. Service has been great. Everyone is so friendly. I've had a wine flight and the smoked old-fashioned to drink, and enjoyed both. For food, the lamb ragu is filling and hearty. I love the yuca fries for an appetizer. And their mac and cheese is delectable. I got a dill vinaigrette on the side salad that really made the salad. I'm looking forward to returning more frequently, especially in the nice weather. read more

Great place In Occaquan Virginia. Not just for wine that is for sure. Great for Friday night date night. Prices are reasonable, food and service is superb!!! read more

Met a friend at Bottle Stop Wine Bar for happy hour around 4:00 after work. There were plenty of parking spots available and plenty of seats available. Inside was small but quaint. Happy hour was a bit pricey and the quantity was a little scarce? The bacon wrapped dates were very tasty, the cheese dip was good, was a little disappointed in the board and the bread was very hard and crispy. All in all, spent a little over $100 for 2 people for happy hour. They weren't able to split the bill between two cards for us. Don't know if I'd come back for happy hour, but interested in how a meal might be. read more

Didn't quite meet expectations based on the restaurant website and the high reviews from respectable sources. I came here for someone's birthday and had high expectations given the reviews on here and elsewhere. Even the main search engines are giving this top marks. First, if you are expecting luxury, be aware this is in the historic district of Occoquan and is most likely built from foundations over a century old. During the day this place may be better suited for a visit for wine and light brunch. We came for dinner. The service is excellent and we were seated immediately. There is plenty of wine to choose from and the wine was pretty good. However, the food just wasn't that good and most of it was charred beyond recognition. For example, the brussel sprouts had no green. The steak didn't seem to be a good cut of meat either. The fries were not crisp. I believe the cook wasn't that good as we saw at least 2 other tables send food back or give complaints about the food. I will say the manager is nice and the waitress was very attentive. This place may be better for a wine visit and light appetizers if you are visiting the area. Overall, just ok. read more

I had an enjoyable time at this establishment! I came on the day of my birthday; the server (Fran) was an outstanding waitress. She was very attentive and brought a small cake to my table to wish me a happy birthday. Furthermore, her knowledge of the items on the list was amazing! Also, her energy was beyond amazing! She checked on us constantly along with her co-worker, but Fran was very attentive and so courteous! I plan on visiting this establishment a lot more. The ambiance was calm and relaxing. We sat out on the patio and the view of the area was beautiful overlooking the Occoquan River. read more

I highly recommend this place. It's so chic. They have small pallets of appetizers, perfect with wine. Not a lot of seating space. But if you take a date, it's perfect with a friend or date. Sitting out side is the die for. So much to see. The town is majestically old time with much excitement. read more

Always reliable and always spectacular! We love Bottle Stop and it will continue to be our go to restaurant. The cocktails are mixed perfectly and they have the best gourmet burgers around. Beautiful intimate outdoor seating and fun vibe inside. read more

Service was excellent. Each server was kind and attentive and they didn't lie. The food is excellent!! The pot pie was to die for and the cheese & meat board was surprisingly delicious and unique with warm and familiar flavor read more

Quaint, unassuming, and casual vibe restaurant, this is a great place to come, whether for a drink at the bar, or a sit down with your family. Group of 4, plus 2 strollers and were kindly welcomed, with excellent service throughout. Every dish was great, from the yuca fries, to the chicken pot pie and lamb ragu, ultimately ending with the raspberry brownie dessert. A+ experience all around, would recommend. read more

Our dinner was excellent! We ordered samosas, ratatouille, and salmon. Everything was delicious. The decor is warm and cozy. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Great cocktail and wine selection too! read more

A nice little wine bar. Seating inside and outside The servers are friendly and energetic although the place seems understaffed. Their wine list isn't huge, but the selections run the range and are reasonably priced. I enjoyed the meat and cheese plate: Brie, Asiago, and a Parmesan in olive oil dip, plus a decent portion of prosciutto. It came with water crackers and slices of baguette. There was a single French Fry on the plate, which I found curious. The bacon wrapped meatloaf was good but a tad dry. It came with mushy peas and roasted carrots, which were marvelous. However, while the meat and cheese plate arrived quickly, the meat loaf took a very very long time: more than 30 minutes. I ordered the bourbon butterscotch tart for dessert, which also took an incredibly long time. Overall, a good spot for a couple glasses of wine and a bite to eat but the kitchen is extremely slow. read more

Get the salmon croquettes! My husband and I came here for lunch with a friend and were very impressed by the quality of service and the incredible food. The crab cake platter included two giant crab cakes with asparagus and Gouda Mac and cheese. Delicious! The steak frites was cooked perfectly and the cheeseburger was one of the best I've had. The real key, however, was the perfectly paired drinks. Each cocktail and glass of wine perfectly matched our place in the meal and complimented our order. My compliments to the staff and owners for a job well done! read more

Food was pretty good, service was pretty sub par. For bad service alone I don't think I will be returning.

Not great. The mixed drink was good but the food overall was very over cooked and we had to send one burger back because the patty was solid black. read more

Nice place for date night, along the water. You can sit out back at low bar tables, inside or on the side of the building. The food was surprisingly good. The service was good as well. I would go back and sit inside next time for a different vibe, since there was music playing inside. I wish it was also playing outside. read more

A friend and I just wanted a place for drinks and some food. She found this great-looking new place to he in Occoquan. It was a very nice-looking place with simple decorations but a great vibe walking in. The place was packed as we made 7 pm reservations. Great staff and plenty of them working. Prices were reasonable and we had a great night. The food was delicious as we had appetizers. We told them what we wanted for a wine and choice and they nailed it. We closed the evening with one of my favorite whiskeys "Nikka Malt Whiskey". Please go out and check them out and enjoy the all they have to offer. read more

This review is for the Mother's Day brunch. Reserved a table to enjoy the special menu put out. Ordered crab cake Benedict and a Bloody Mary. Incredibly underwhelming and was not worth the trip. Crab cakes were small, came without English muffins or any kind of bread, sparse hollandaise and 3 asparagus spears. That's all that was on the plate. More like an appetizer but cost $22. Bloody Mary was tasty but the description noted celery and bacon which it did not come with. Brought this up to Wait staff who had no idea what was on the menu and apparently when brought up to the owner, he didn't care the menu said one thing and they provided another. Giving 2 stars because the rest at our table ordered from the regular menu and got decent meals. read more

Best restaurant in Occoquan! Great food, service, and ambiance. I wouldn't change a thing.

If you want food, I would recommend the salmon croquettes and the chocolate brownie with raspberry sauce. The ratatouille was decent and I liked the salad with basaltic vinaigrette. I also had the spiced cosmopolitan, pretty good. Service was not bad. For me, I don't think the food and the service justified the prices... There was a lot of people there. It seems like a good place to hang out if you want to try different drinks. read more

Fantastic wine and service. Knowledgeable staff and the wine is fantastic. Highly recommend for date nights with that special someone.

Food is ok. Wine selection is nice. Ambience is the selling point. Another Occoquan restaurant with great potential but needs polish to reach perfection. read more

Stopped in the Bottle Stop Wine Bar to share a bottle of wine with my mom and aunt. After sitting, the waitress asked if we would like to partake in a complimentary wine tasting. We said yes, that sounds great and the waitress left three tasting glasses and said a someone would be over to conduct the tasting. After 20 minutes, the person doing the tasting came over and asked if we were wine club members. We replied that no, we weren't members and he just walked away and did the tasting for the next table (we overheard that they were also not members). We told the waitress what happened, and while she was apologetic, she did nothing to make it right. If it was too busy for us to be helped, they should not have offered the complimentary tasting. I would come back, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to return. I will say that the sommelier recommended a great bottle of Sauvignon Blanc that we all enjoyed. read more

Time and time again, I return becuse the food is well made and delicious. Service is spot on and the wines are perfect as are all the bar options. Perfect place to meet a friend, enjoy a wonderful snack or full entre. Something for everyone. Wonderful vibe and atmosphere. read more
