I work in the area and I've been so excited for this place to open! I've been two times now and it's been mediocre. My server the first time was nice, but also seemed very inexperienced in the food industry, and even with the knowledge of their selections. I understand they're new, and people are learning-but overall it was a pretty good first experience. The truffle fries are amazing! I also got the pub club sandwich and had to ask for some of the aioli that came with the fries to put on my sandwich because it was a little too dry for my taste. My first experience, I'd give a 4 out of 5 rating. Now that being said, my second experience wasn't as good as the first. The bar tender, I didn't catch his name, totally rubbed me the wrong way. Very inattentive, bland, and kind of rude. The place wasn't busy and the moment my friend and I would speak, he'd walk away in the middle of our sentence. His facial expression was not welcoming and he made the experience less pleasing. 3 out 5 experience. HOWEVER, whilst in the middle of typing this review, Sarah came over and is very sweet and made us smile! She is wonderful! Definitely get a conversation in with her if she isn't busy! :) The patio area is nice and relaxing and the whole look of the place is very beautiful! Oh, did I mention the wine? I am happy with their selection and it's going to be very hard not to come enjoy a glass of Estrella after work! (With all this being said, I have worked in the food industry for quite a few years of my life and I know it's not that hard to be a "little" more welcoming) Overall, I do enjoy this place and hopefully over time the kinks will work themselves out. Definitely check this place out! read more

Corkscrew Kingsley - Wine Bars Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

I think they have good wines and I Love that you can sample different wines before you try. But the staff I do not find friendly I am usually solo and It would be nice to feel welcome and invited. I ordered food and finished before the bartender ever asked if I was ok. Sat for 1/2 hour with no one approaching to check I don't know, I worked in hospitality and def did better I hope they get better as I live right there and would like to frequent but feel more comfortable at Napa down the street read more

I am new to the Fort Mill area. A coworker suggested Corkscrew for happy hour. It has become my go to place for drinks and food. The service is always amazing especially Jonathan. He always greets us and provides amazing service. Highly recommended! read more

Corkscrew Kingsley - Patio - Wine Bars Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

I want to love it here. I really do. Unfortunately, I just don't. I've been here three times and while the wine, food and atmosphere are all well and good, the service is just so severely lacking. On my second visit here, I was with a party of 5. We sat on a cute lounger in a quiet corner, and ordered several bottles of wine throughout the evening, along with a charcuterie board and a few flat breads. Several times we had to get up and ask our server (who was less than friendly!) for more water or wine and he was super annoyed each time. My husband arrived late and the server never came to ask if he'd like a glass or another type of drink. After 15 min of waiting, my husband approached the bar to ask for a beer, he was told by the owner to "please go sit" and that our server would be over to take his order. Another 10 minutes later, he finally did and my husband got the wrong beer. When he alerted the server about it, he was told "we were out of what you wanted so I gave you something else" and simply walked off. Needless to say, his tip On the $400+ bill wasn't impressive. I find the servers here to be stiff and incredibly unfriendly. *sigh* to try again or not? read more

I've been anxious for Corkscrew to open because Fort Mill definitely needs another wine bar. And this one also has a full bar AND food - small plates, but you could still make a meal out of the menu. The atmosphere is classy, and the decor is modern with 20ish bar seats; tables, a sofa, and a group table for 10 inside; and lots of tables outside on the patio. However, the sevice is not so classy. If you're going to a wine bar, you wouldn't expect to have a server in a stained, bright blue polo, messy ponytail, and rolled up jean shorts... but here we are. I realize this is petty, but I think it looks nicer (especially at a wine bar) when the staff has some sort of uniform - all the servers/bartenders here were in random clothes, and most of them looked like they had just rolled out of bed. We sat at the bar, and the barstools had a low back, which was pretty uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. And while I was impressed that they had plugs under the bar, there were no purse hooks. What the what?? I'm still glad Corkscrew is in the neighborhood, and I'll give them another shot, but I sure hope they step up their service game by then. read more

See all

Great place to relax and enjoy a glass or two of wine. Terrific selection of bottles to buy as well wines by the glass.

The service here is excellent and very welcoming and friendly. Jim Jim Jim and Sarah are always welcoming and make it a fun place to hang out. Lots of nice wine options. There just doesn't seem to be enough seats. Several times we have left because there was no seating and the space seems large enough to add some small tables near the sofa area. The flatbread pizzas are very salty and would be so good without all the salt. I really like the cheese plates with wine those are good. It's so nice to have a wine bar with food options. read more

leaving two stars and not one simply because of the wine selection. The service here is non existent. The two people that helped us seemed to have no communication or coordination as they would both show up within 60 seconds to ask the same question of us and then both not come back for 30 min. The cheese plate was embarrassing grapes were soft the cheese was warm in a bad way and it was just skimpy and not all that appetizing. No apologies or excuses for the slow service either. (cause I get that sh*t happens) So if you're just going to grab a drink i guess it's fine but sit at the bar or you'll have to wait half an hour to get a refill. read more

Corkscrew Kingsley - vermont white cheddar plate - disappointing( soft grapes, skimpy, poor presentation) - Wine Bars Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

I only come here for quick drinks and light bites. I don't expect anymore than that though. A nice bottle of wine, a charcuterie board, and minimal service is what I aim for when coming here. read more

Was with my husband in this place and manager had an argument with him and he managed to ruin our anniversary and was very very rude and I was scared that the argument might get even worse because of how Michael was so loud and rude to my husband, I really got upset because what started as a beautiful evening ended in tears because of the server or manager Michael, who was unapologetically rude and we have ever seen anything like this before! He was so rude that I asked my husband to leave and it was all about him not being accurate about wait time and passing our turn too by about 30 minutes on top of the promised 20 upon inception read more

My Husband and I received a gift card from our daughter to Corkscrew. We finally got to go this past week. I must say I really enjoyed myself and love the location . We had a very nice server her name is Keely . She welcomed us being it was our first time. She was very attentive and came over often to our table to ask if we needed anything. This is great wine bar for a date night and any kind of special occasion. We will definitely be back ! read more

omg. the servers here are so rude. we walked in the bartender pointed to a table. She came over and threw 4 menus on the table. Not a word came out if her mouth. No hello, no thank you for coming in. Just a scowl. We we really astounded. But thought ok. Let's just move on. I'm sure she was sidetracked and didn't realize how rude she was. We waited quite a while and no one came by so one of our party of four went up to the bar to place our order. I had decided by this time I was only having water. A Waiter came by and we were telling him that our other party had gone to the bar to order if he wanted to go take his order. He just looked at us. shrugged and said I don't have time for this and he walked off. This is the Third time I've been here and never had a good experience read more

Guys, thank you for an awesome night! Had a couple girlfriends for some wine and apps and we had the best time. Excellent service, top notch staff, and the food was fantastic. We got charcuterie and a flatbread. What i like is that they advertise being a laid-back environment/ "wine pub", so it didn't feel stuffy. The crew was busy, but it's only their second weekend being fully open to the public. I appreciate their attention to detail, knowledge of wine (we asked for recommendation since we were unsure), and friendly staff. Thanks again for taking care of us! read more

Bar tender is awful. 5 people in the restaurant, takes 20 minutes to be asked, then treated arrogantly and like nuisance. Do not recommend. read more

Rude!. Brought my wife here for her birthday and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with frustrated looks and rolling eyes. The waitress/manager (yes, manager) barely greeted us and she seemed caught off guard that we were ready to order food along with our drinks. She seemed perturbed that we were ordering both at the same time. I ordered a flatbread pizza for my son - just mozzarella please-- she snapped "you know there's no red sauce on a flatbread!" assuming that we can't read the menu. "It's going to be dry and crispy!" Okay, I said but aren't all flatbreads? We continued with the rest of our order and she continues with the agitated tone and delivery -seemingly bothered by our very presence. After she left the table, I approached her away from my family and asked her why she she was so rude. She began to chastise me and tried to defend her behavior. I walked away and we left. I feel bad I have to post this, but I tried to engage in a constructive conversation with the manager about how she made us feel- but she was aloof and completely disrespectful. The place has great wine and beer selection. Food is okay. Hope they read this and make necessary changes. read more

This place was absolutely amazing, Kyle absolutely made our experience perfects. Between the handmade cocktails, the charcuterie boards, the flatbreads, and the impeccable taste in wine... Kyle was there every step of the way. This was my first time at corkscrew and this will become a staple in our date night rotation with Kyle as our server!!! He made us a mojito and it was the best thing I have ever tasted and I don't even like rum!! Absolutely amazing and we will be back! read more

Fort Mill is bizarre with the expectations of a new spot. This place is wonderful. Decor is beautiful. Staff is extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and seem to work well together. This was my first time and I will be back. Keep it up Corkscrew! read more

We love this great little local wine bar especially because of the first few amazing experiences we had while Sarah was bar tending. She took the time to get to know us and make suggestions. Now anytime we see her, no matter how busy they are, she makes an effort to say hello and greet us with a big smile. Hopefully the rest of the staff learns that being nice to customers goes a long way. We have also eaten small bites here..grilled cheese and cheese board were delicious! Great addition to the kingsley area! read more

Great place to get a drink. The manager and his brother Robert are very helpful. By far the best place to have a drink in Ft. Mill. They also have a good Whisky and Bourbon selection. In addition to live music sometimes and amazing truffles. read more

We were visiting the area and checked out this wine place. The food is great, we had the trio pimento with flatbread and it was delicious. It's a busy place for a Thursday afternoon. Prices for the wine and food were reasonable. Wonderful atmosphere and I would recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

This place needs some serious help with respect to service, no one knows what's going on let alone what they are doing! Such a nice place, it's a shame that the service is soo bad! read more

I haven't even left yet because I am still waiting on my check. The service here is very slow and not interested in quality customer service. The inside is extremely noisy and not what I consider a classy wine bar. This place is not worth the hassle. The cheese plate we ordered was nothing fancy; I could have done better at home. read more

I came here for a girls night and we had the best experience. The waiter, Kyle, made sure we were taken care of all night. He suggested the best wine for us to try. The food was amazing!! We got the pesto flatbread, shrimp cocktail, chef's tasting board and tiramisu for dessert. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Great service, lovely atmosphere, and the menu had some offerings that looked delicious. We didn't eat there, just stopped in for a glass of wine. On Thursday night the place was busy and had live music. The servers behind the bar were nice and efficient. We will be back for sure! read more

I went to corkscrew on a random Thursday night. The music this night was amazing and the atmosphere is relaxing. The bar staff was attentive. Christina, Sarah and Megan provided great service while maintaining a clean bar. I would definitely stop back in if I am in the area. read more

Checked this place out and really wanted it to work. Food is good but bar service is absolutely abysmal. If you even manage to get their attention they just frown at you while you order. Badly needs a customer service upgrade. read more

The wine and beer selection was great. The cheese and meat plates were amazing. Loved the chairs and decor. Will definitely be back!

Enjoyed seating outside listening to the music from across the street. Great selection of wine and beers. Enjoys their flatbread but would love more food items on menu. Would definitely return. read more

We decided to give this new establishment a try. Corkscrew is not ready for prime time. -Uncomfortable bar stools -Wine bar that doesn't have a bottle menu, seriously? -Food was unimpressive -Welcoming environment -Staff is trying hard. How about putting staff in matching polo shirts? Hopefully, they will up their game. read more

Had an amazing time here! I love that they have live music and outdoor seating. Great wine, great atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. read more

Very poor service. We were there for over 30 minutes before flagging down a waitress to place an order. The. It was another 30 plus minutes before we again had to flag someone down to get our check. We sat down at 7 and by 820 we had only been seen the two stated times above that we initiated. Tables around us were very well tended, while we were ignored. Very poor service, just drink your wine at home over an hour and save the waiting for a new glass. read more

First time here. I went with my sister and a few friends and we sat outside right by the front door. It took about 10 minutes to get any acknowledgement and another 6-8 minutes to get our drink and food orders in. Then the waitress came back to tell my sister and I that the beer draft we ordered wasn't acting right so we had to grab another one. (I know that ones not her fault). As soon as she got the last drink order she sped off as my friend was about to ask for some water. The place wasn't that busy from what we saw. I had ordered the corkscrew chicken salad sandwich which was supposed to come with chips and angry cucumbers. After a little while our food comes and I didn't get what I ordered. I received a salad instead (which was more expensive than the sandwich I ordered). It took a while for a worker to come around so I can let them know my order was wrong. Then the chef came out to ask how everything was and I told him I received the wrong order and he recited what the order was that was given to him. I told him how I asked for the sandwich. After another little while, I received my order. Lo and behold, the corkscrew chicken sandwich was just a thin spread of chicken salad, no grapes, a wilted piece of lettuce and two cold slices of regular sandwich bread. I didn't get the cucumbers and the chips were literally kettle cooked chips clearly from a bag. The sandwich was extremely dry and I only took a bite before I gave up on the dining experience. My sisters flat bread was super salty too. I would not come back here and would not recommend. Only saving grace was that they removed the sandwich from my bill. Oh and they also screwed up on the bill and gave my sister and I the wrong bill. read more

Im only giving one star and that is for the wine selection. The bartender just seems so unaware. I asked three times for a refill and she forgot. I also was disappointed in the food. I was going to order a cheese plate but I saw the young man in the back with some scruffy beard making someone else's food without gloves on. I mean I'm sitting at the bar and I just see him touching his face and putting sandwiches together and rubbing his nose. It turned my stomach. I couldn't order after seeing that. Not to mention the young man looked like he just rolled out of bed. This place is not classy like you would think it should be. Don't waist your time. read more

I was hired to work with no training for New Years Eve. The barback left at 8 pm and the manager gave me a quick review of the computer system because of the huge rush and short staff. I did not lose one check, spill one drink, break one glass, or take one tip as it is a team. At the end of my shift, i was not tipped out for a twelve hour shift with no formal training. I am a licensed bar tender. Many clients wanted to tip me personally but I refused my tips for the policy of sharing tips. If you want a decent job where your skill sets will be utilized, do NOT apply here. You will not get paid for your time, experience, and client satisfaction. At the end of the night, one of the formal bartenders made a racist remark about taking a book, selling it to a n*****, and buying weed. I have never seen such a "shit show" as the manager explained how the evening would go, even though it was mostly successful for the clients. This place does not care about new staff, client satisfaction, or professionalism. Thumbs down read more
