Good reason to come back. Started with prickly pear margarita with mescal. Yum! Had a white wine after. It was ok. My friend and I shared 4 bruschetta's- smoked salmon and pesto, artichoke, caprese, and apple, Brie and fig. Favs were smoked salmon and apple and Brie. The fries were amazing. Salmon board was good too. The bread on the board was much better than the bruschetta. Ambiance is great. Service as well. Will be back!

The bar itself is a sleek, polished counter where bartenders with friendly smiles serve pours from all over the world. Behind them, shelves lined with bottles, their labels a mix of rustic and elegant, hinting at the variety and expertise offered. There's a chalkboard behind the bar listing the evening's curated selections that complement the wine, and the staff is always eager to recommend something Comfortable seating is scattered throughout the rooms: armchairs and leather couches, cozy arrangements nestled into corners, and a line of chairs along the bar suited for savoring several glasses of wine. Whether you're here for a casual evening with friends or a quiet solo escape, the ambiance wraps around you like a comfortable blanket, offering the perfect setting for enjoying both the wine and the company. Cheers!

Cute little wine bar downtown that closes on the early side (10pm Tues/Wed/Thurs, 11pm Fri/Sat, 7pm…read moreSun) but nice for an early evening sip. It's got modern, slightly rustic vibes, lit brightly for the art gallery in the back room. There's a good amount of seating and it's not completely filled with the undergrad crowd like other bars in the area. I see they host a book club and if I lived in Raleigh, I'd be all over that-- this is the perfect atmosphere! They have a nice bubbles by the glass selection (4 options, including a Lambrusco), which is really impressive since so many wine bars give you one, two at most. Vegan options on the menu include hummus, olives and pickles. I was planning to eat there, but time got away from me and they do a strict closing time, so maybe next time.

On this visit, we got the goat cheese, brussel sprouts, croquettas, beef empanadas, chicken thigh, and a mixta salad. We enjoyed the goat cheese and dipped our table bread in it. I also loved the brussel sprouts, which were delightful cooked in a brine or vinegar so it mixed savory and sour in the perfect way. The croquettas are a standard for me - delicious, you must get them. New additions to my repertoire were the chicken thigh, beef empanadas, and mixta salad. Now, I know that Barcelona is known for small plates but the chicken thigh and beef empanadas felt very small. That being said, they were both very flavorful and delicious. I enjoyed eating them with the fresh salad. The salad did its job, which was to add freshness to the otherwise heavy meal but it really didn't blow me away otherwise. Still one of my favorite spots in the Triangle to enjoy small plates.

We sat on the patio, the area is pretty and the ambiance is nice with plants and heaters outside. However, the service was disappointing. Our waiter would disappear for 15+ minutes at a time, we even watched the table next to us flag him over and ask to be served menus and drinks after 15 minutes waiting at the table with no service at all. We ordered broccolini with a couple other dishes and after waiting 25-30 minutes after getting our other food dishes we told them we no longer wanted it and to take it off our check. I will say, once that happened we were all offered one free tapas if we came back, they gave us a small wood coin. I appreciate the manager offering this to us, that was very nice. Despite this, I wish the service was better during our meal. The food portions are disappointing for the prices. I understand tapas are small plates but the prices seem quite inflated for what you get. 5 meatballs for $9.5, a chicken thigh for $10.5, and the charcuterie was the worst deal at $21 for what is basically the smallest serving of cheese and meat you can get. Unfortunately I was not impressed with Barcelona Eine Bar.

This is located right off Glenwood South area. Vino Wine bar is extremely cute. The staff here were welcoming, kind, receptive and knowledgeable about their selection of wines. I had the sparkling Syrah and I really enjoyed this. This was semi fruity without being sweet IYKYK. Syrah is a very savory depth that paired really well as a sparkling wine. Never tried it sparkling until now. The meat and cheese board was great for pairing, as well as the arancini . Both were delicious. I do recommend Vino.

I've had them bookmarked for a bit and my friend suggested we stop in for a drink after another event. There is space outside (with heaters if needed) and inside (with blankets - if needed) and we opted to sit inside. They have wine, desserts, and small food plates (including charcuterie and sandwiches) , and several cocktail options. I loved my seasonal old-fashioned, and my friends loved their espresso martinis. Our server was super sweet and answered all our questions. It was a great experience.

I ordered the egg roll as my appetizer and it was incredibly flavorful. I also had the Tso's chicken as my entrée and it was tasty as well. I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the place. It had a bit of a dive feel and the atmosphere was very relaxing. They were playing great music from the seventies and eighties, which added to the experience. The owner and chef was incredible. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us consistently. He was so friendly. I noticed that they host a lot of events and I would be happy to come back for one or even just to eat again. It also seems like a great place to hang out and get drinks because they have board games available. There is also an area with couches and a coffee table that looked very comfortable. It feels like a great neighborhood hangout spot.

Velvet couches beckon you to stay too long, the lighting flatters everyone, and the drinks come with the faint sense that they've been designed to start conversations. One of the best things in this bar are the hosts, the minute you cross the threshold, they're there -- equal parts host, therapist, and cheese evangelist. Their mission? Your comfort. Their secret weapon? A fine Old Fashioned and fresh-made pimento cheese dip so addictive it should come with a warning. This isn't a bar for rushing through a drink; it's a place to linger, laugh, and let the night unravel in slow motion. Cheers!

I would sell picnic baskets (vintage and new... or any kind of largish container or trays) and have packaged fresh fruit, veggies, individual hummus (actually, they might have had this) and way more prepared salads like potato salad, macaroni salad... salad-salads etc. It's such an excellent spot for a picnic!

So cool! We got a flight of light wines and all were different and pretty decent. I got a pasta dish and really liked the blackened chicken. I'd just be happy to have it on its own. I think the decor could have some softer furnishings to break up the hard angles and lean into the cozy vibe a bit more. Lots of angles and metal. I'd pop in some soft ivory stools at the bar end for a really lux vibe. Hostess and server were nice. Efficient. Definitely a place to keep on rotation.

The business was clean and there is also a bar inside. The restaurant has a large selection of wines and offers flights for purchase. The restaurant had some people dining in but they were not overly packed. Initially our server was pleasant and attentive. I got a blood orange sparkling water. It was ok. I ordered the whipped ricotta for an appetizer to share and a burger with fries for my entree. The whipped ricotta was ok. It would taste better with some sort of seasoning in it. My fries were served hot but needed some salt. I asked for my burger to be cooked well done but I was brought a burnt burger. I took one bite but it was too overcooked. I then requested that my server have my burger be cooked medium well so I didn't get another burnt burger. When my burger was brought back out, our server had me cut into my burger to make sure it was to my liking. The preparation was better but it was bland and tasted like there wasn't any seasoning on it. After this our server wasn't as attentive anymore. For dessert we got the donuts. They were served warm and I enjoyed them with the cherry sauce. I did not like the chocolate sauce that was served with the donuts.
