Corkscrew Wine & Cheese in Rockbrook is such a gem. It's one of those places that feels both relaxed and special at the same time. The wine selection is fantastic -- whether you're looking for something new to try by the glass or want a bottle to share, they always have great options at all price points. The staff is knowledgeable without being intimidating, and they're always happy to help you pick something you'll love. Pair that with their cheese and charcuterie boards, and you've got the perfect night out. Everything is beautifully put together and tastes amazing. It's our go-to spot for a cozy evening with great wine, good food, and a welcoming vibe. Highly recommend if you're in the Rockbrook area (or even if you're not -- it's worth the trip). read more

I've had both positive and not positive experiences at this location. The drinks and food is always spot on. Unfortunately it's the service I've unfortunately struggled with off and on. read more

Popped in in between my friend's dress shopping & the drinks were great here. The seasonal sangria we loved. Great wine selection too. The service wasn't the absolute friendliest but the wine made up for it. read more

Came here for a break between wedding dress shopping with a friend. The workers were super sweet, the menu had tons of great options, and the place itself is relaxing and laid back. It's a great place to come have a chill girls day or bring your laptop to come work. I loved the hot apple cider, it was exactly what I needed for a chilly day! read more

We randomly stopped here on a Friday afternoon and it was surprisingly packed, but plenty of space inside, so we had no trouble getting seated. Such a fun, happy, community feel in this gem within the quaint Rockbrook Village area. We sat on the couches in the back area and loved the cozy feel. Our server knew his wine! He helped us select a great bottle and we enjoyed it with the BBQ chicken flatbread (so good!). read more

Corkscrew Wine & Cheese - A great wine from Paso for me and a dark beer for my guy! - Wine Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I'll have to preface this review with a disclaimer. I do not like having to leave a bad review. I always like to try and find the good in things. That being said.... here.. we.. go. This place is in Rockbook Village which in its heyday was considered West Omaha and it always had good nightlife going on. It seems like the area is still trying to cling onto being a fancy area and this wine bar is an example of that. The interior has hardly any decorations of note. Wire management of cameras or maybe speaker wires just hanging all over the ceiling and it just looks terrible. There is absolutely zero sound dampening so it's pretty loud in this place. My group sat down at some couches that remind me of something that would be in a dorm or first apartment. They are way too deep and the cushions are worn out so you sink in pretty good. Also they are fabric so you can see all the great evidence left by other patrons. The charcuterie board was laughable. It looks like they purchased a party platter from Sams or Costco and then divided that into 10 separate servings. Didn't even come with utensils to apply the small amount of mustard onto anything. Overall that food was a complete waste of money so don't get it because i already took one for the team. If you are going to spend ten to fifteen dollars for roughly 2oz of wine there are MUCH better options that have the 'pomp and circumstance' that come along with an expensive price tag. read more

What a great afternoon! The charcuterie board is perfect for two! The wait staff are amazing, and the atmosphere mister is perfect for an afternoon outing. read more

Absolutely love the wine collection here. I've been several times and it's consistently a great experience. Once I attended one of their wine tasting events and ended up bringing home a bottle I fell in love with. The selection is amazing and thoughtfully curated. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, which makes the whole experience even better. The view is lovely and adds to the relaxing atmosphere. Perfect spot for a girls' night or even just a solo unwind. Highly recommend if you enjoy good wine and a great vibe. read more

Popped into Corkscrew in between bridal appointments and they were packed! They had their Galentine's Day event happening, but the management team still made room for our group! They were so kind and attentive and the place was so cute! This was a great place to stop by for quick drinks and snacks! We all had glasses of wine and ordered their margherita flatbread, charcuterie board, and truffle popcorn. Everything was so good!! Great sharing food with friends! I definitely want to come back in the summer when they open their cute outdoor patio bar! read more

Went to corkscrew tonight to get a bite to eat. While the kitchen menu has expanded I'm sad to say it's not as good. You used to be able to get a meat and cheese board in one. Now you have to get a cheese and a meat separately. The quality and variety of meat and cheese used to be WAY better. With Casanova butchery now open in rockbrook that where I will be headed. Quality counts always! read more

A great place for patio hangs. We went on a Friday afternoon and while it was sunny we were able to find a shaded table. There were quite a few people there and it looked like even a party. Walk in and choose a drink from the menu or walk up the wine wall and pick your own bottle. FYI- they will charge you a $5 corking fee to open the bottle even if you drink the whole thing there. Never had that before so that's why I gave 4 stars. Otherwise everything else was great. The Brie was perfect with the Chardonnay on a sunny afternoon. Everyone around us, literally all of the tables, had the Daou Chardonnay so that's going to be the next thing I get! I will be back to take an out of town guest or get together with a friend. read more

This is my first time at the corkscrew wine and cheese. It's a very nice location that has both indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed a wonderful Barata, charcuterie, board,and truffled popcorn, to accompany a glass or two of wine with old friends. The food was great and nicely presented. The wine selections are fantastic and club membership is available that offers discounts as well as reduced corkage fee on any bottle of wine purchased in the store. The only thing that was out of order with this particular visit was the service. The server who was working bar and tables was clearly not having the best of days! We mentioned some problems with the individual working in the kitchen and after a conversation with the server things seem to get a little bit better. Had our server offered a little bit more kindness we would've easily given this location the five stars it really does deserve. read more

I came in for an enjoyable afternoon with some wine and a charcuterie board. It's a cute little place and the servers are nice and it's in a beautiful green area. However...it's one of the smallest wine pours I've ever had. That's not my biggest concern though. The cheese and charcuterie board....for $25...is the weirdest board I've ever had. Someone needs to go back to culinary school and learn cheese boards 101. The cheese was all chopped up into little tiny pieces (???) as if the chef is a new parent and got used to chopping up tiny pieces of cheese for their toddler....and there wasn't a lick of fig jam or some other spread to accompany the bread. I've just never seen such a bland boring board before. It's too bad. It's a cute place but I'd be nervous to try anything else to eat here. read more

This was the perfect spot to enjoy a drink and charcuterie board on a beautiful patio! We had the meat tray and cheese tray, split the pig and fig bruschetta, and I had the green thumb panini. The trays were fantastic. The bruschetta was very good, but the serving was small for the price, and my panini was delicious! I loved the frose - sweet and strong! read more

Love corkscrew! It's the perfect happy hour spot with the girls. Happy hour specials are nice, food is decent, and there are plenty of options to choose from for wine. The patio here is huge and is perfect in the summer/fall! read more

We picked up a few platters for a small birthday gathering and they could not have been more of a hit! Just the right amount of food and everything was perfectly executed. My personal fave, the first to go, was the bruschetta with fresh savory tomatoes and I'm not sure of the cheese, but it was incredible. The bread and dill dip was great, it was like the perfect mix of hard and soft pita. I enjoyed all of the options that were ordered and don't regret a single calorie. Also note the photos the rolled up flower is salmon and it was AMAZING! I was definitely cherry picking that hehe. If you're looking for an easy option to feed a group check out these platters. read more

Recently was planning a date night with my better half and a friend of mine recommended Corkscrew in Rockbrook Village, so we went and checked them out. I'll be honest, this was my first time at a "wine and cheese" spot and it was pretty damn impressive. The customer service is unparalleled. The wine choices are phenomenal. But the hidden gem is Corkscrew's Homemade Baked Mac & Cheese. This combination of cavatappi, panko, smoked paprika and chives has a certain je ne sais quoi that I can't even explain. It's a MUST TRY. The ambiance inside is warm and embracing, while outside (in the patio area) provides just the right amount of "chill" that makes it perfect for a date or a small gathering of friends. Getting back to the staff, it's composed of a knowledgeable and friendly crew who really seem dedicated to ensuring an unforgettable experience. They bounce between the bar, the tables and the patio seamlessly. Aside from the Mac, they offer an assortment of meat and cheese trays ranging from a cheese board to meatballs. I was pleased as to how each cheese was perfectly paired with the perfect wine, allowing for an unmatched tasting experience. While not really being a wine connoisseur or even an enthusiast, I relied heavily on the staff's knowledge (who were more than eager to educate and share their passion for each pairing). So, whether it's a date night or you just feel like treating yourself - make a reservation and stop by this hidden gem. read more

There's a lot of wines to chose from at a decent price! Plus a few Spirits like Tito's Vodka! Unfortunately, during this Covid crisis they're not currently serving charcuterie boards. Their outdoor patio is very nice, it's 1/2 covered for those who like the shade! Our server was very cautious with seating & keeping the place clean after people left. We stopped in Sunday afternoon & had the entire inside room to ourselves that probably holds 30 people. The outdoor patio seats about the same. We like their selection of wines, it's comfortable, relaxing atmosphere & will continue to go back! read more

We love Corkscrew. What is it about this place? It shouldn't be as good as it is and yet... it is. The service? Knowledgeable and attentive. The chopped salad? Among the best. The wine? Of course. Good prices, inexplicably comfortable ambience, this place just works. read more

If you haven't yet you need to get in here and try the truffles they have. $1 each and they are amazing! We stopped in and snacked on some marcona almonds and some truffles with a beverage. Such a great place to sit back relax and enjoy a drink and a treat. Very friendly folks here and lots of good space to chill indoors or outside. Make sure to get a bottle to go. They have a lot more than wine also! read more

Excellent service, great vibe and decor, nice wine selection! Was my first time here today just to purchase a few bottles and loved it! Will be back to enjoy it in there! Recently moved to Nebraska from New York City and am super excited to have found this hidden gem! read more

Wine, Cheese, and great outdoor area! I'm not sure why we don't come here more often?! As I sit here enjoying a great bottle of Old Vine Zin I was enticed to try the cheese plate by how amazing it looks. They said they change all the time and I'm all in! I think I'll join the club by the time I leave this place! We'll see how it turns out... Indian food next at "the Jaipur!" read more

I went to the rockbrook location for the first time last week and had such a fabulous time! I was so surprised to find out they also have a patio as that was one of the reasons we'd been going to the black stone location more than this one but this is much closer to our house! Everything I tried was phenomenal from the wine to the bread and oil--I could eat a whole entire loaf of the bread and oil! Our server was so amazing and attentive even with such a big group! We will definitely be back soon for date night! read more

Overall a fantastic place to meet up for a drink and have a light snack. The ambience is perfect: casual but elegant. Plenty of seating choices from high tops to regular tables to a large L-shaped couch in the corner. I enjoyed the large selection of wine by the glass (at least 25) and the light snack menu. We ordered the meat and cheese for two and enjoyed it. There was a prosciutto and a salami for meat and they were both rich and complemented our Malbec nicely. We tried three cheeses: the Iowa maytag bleu and double cream Brie were very nice but the cows milk Italian cheese on the plate fell flat. It tasted quite bland, despite the red pepper flakes in it. They also have decent beers for those not so fond of wine. Our group enjoyed a Zipline and Deschutes. Prices were decent, but the service wasn't excellent. It started it well enough when there were only a few tables taken up but the busier it got, the more our service suffered. read more

I love Corkscrew. With this being their flagship location, I have been here on and off over the past 10 years - primarily if I am looking to pick up a nice bottle of wine. On a recent Monday night I enjoyed HH with a girlfriend and was really impressed with our server's knowledge of wine and the small plates we shared. We opted for a small bowl of olives ($4) and a smoked salmon platter that came with a soft cheese with capers, more olives, tasty bread and lemon. As far as ambiance goes, the location in Blackstone does have more to offer with their patio and outdoor fire pits, but this location is cozy and has nice large windows at the back of the shop. I think the addition of a fireplace would be excellent here. read more

Came here for a team building outing and it did not disappoint. Finger food and charcuterie boards were delicious! The warm brie cheese was my favorite. Service was outstanding and all around great experience. Looking for a girls night, date night or just day out check this place out. read more

This was a 5 star visit until I met with my dessert and the attitude/ineptitude of the chef. The wine selection here is fantastic - there's a wide selection of wines at a variety of price points and the Cab we chose was fantastic. Our waitress was a sweetheart and did a great job of walking the fine line between very attentive and overly-so/annoying. We ordered a Cheese Board and the Tomato Bruschetta for our dinner and I highly recommend both. The Cheese Board had a lovely variety (I do love a Stilton Bleu) and the tomatoes on the bruschetta were fresh and flavorful. Then dessert... I ordered the Creme Brulee and upon cutting through the caramelized sugar I was met with something cold and soupy in consistency. When I called the waitress over to inquire if this was normal (knowing full well it was not) she apologized and took it back to the kitchen. She returned a few minutes later, clearly embarrassed, and told me that she would be taking the dessert off of my bill and that the chef said that was the way the Creme Brulee always was. I questioned on her on it. "Really?! Creme Brulee should be custard-like in texture. Not runny and cold." She agreed and apologized again, clearly at a loss as to what to do other than to offer me a different dessert, which I declined. I've been to the Blackstone location a few times but doubt I will return to this one. A "chef" should know that Creme Brulee is not cold soup... AND should have the professionalism to acknowledge and fix a mistake when he makes one. read more

This is always such a fun place to visit! Great atmosphere and great service. I especially appreciate the help I received to pick out a nice bottle of wine for my parents. This is definitely one of the best places in omaha! read more

Recently we spent some time drinking wine and snacking on meat, cheese and bread on a Sunday afternoon. Had the weather been a little less blustery the patio would have been a nice option, but we were still comfortable indoors. Bottles under $25 incur a $5 corking fee, if enjoyed on site (I think that was it). Overall a pretty good time. read more

Ahhh! Another chill stop in at Corkscrew in Rockbrook. We prefer the couch section. You may prefer the tables. However when it finally warms up in omaha lol trellised patio is the place to be! If you can't find a wine to meet your wine taste, I would be surprised. We prefer a good red and they have plenty and they are delish! Even better every time we come here!! read more

We had a nice evening here. The service was really good. I wasn't very happy with the glass of wine I ordered and the server comped it, even when I told her it was unnecessary. We made sure we left a little extra in the tip. They have a great selection to choose from. However, there are some brands that you can find at Whole Foods for a lower price - some with about an $8 difference. read more

Cut off sweat pants with paint splatters. Ribbed tank top with dirt smudges. Hair back in a more than messy pony (or two or three). That's my normal attire when popping into Corkscrew to pick up a bottle or two of wine. My neighborhood bottle shop, prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and the selection covers a wide range of price points. I like that you can describe your flavor profile (and price point) and they're pretty spot on with wine recommendations. I tend to zip in and out, looking disheveled and questionable, so it's a rare occasion that I actually hang out at this establishment. The decor is clean and open. Choose from one of the plush seating areas, table/chair arrangements or chill out at the bar. Buy wine by the glass or by the case...er, I mean bottle. During nice weather months, the patio with fireplace is a nice option, especially for dog owners who want to bring their four-legged friends to Yappy Hour. Food items are limited but artfully displayed. I should probs just stick with the bottle shop concept. Not just because I love sweatpants, but because "let's meet up for a glass of wine" turns into "let's mortgage our houses to pay for our bill" type of situation. A frequent flier program for wine consumption...that would boost this joint to five stars for sure. read more

I had a little gathering for about 8 people last evening and it was lovely. The hosts took great care of our group. I had placed a special food order for the event and all the food was fresh and great tasting. Amazing selections of cheese. meats and fresh fruits. I would suggest placing an order for the sliders very good especially if you add a little blue cheese to the bun. My boss was in visiting from California and he was very impressed with the selection and price of the wines offered. Great job I'd definitely recommend this for a team outing. read more

We went to Corkscrew because it was a member of Pinpoint and lately we've been on the hunt for meat and cheese plates. When we walked in, it was very light and open. It wasn't nice enough to sit on the patio, but it looks like a cozy spot for a future visit. We were greeted immediately. Our server let us pick out a table and asked us if we had been there before. We hadn't and she went over all of the basic information that we needed to know. She was extremely personable and it really added to our experience. We had the meat and cheese plate and although it was a pretty basic assortment, it was good and reasonably priced. The bread was served warm and it was delicious. They have a large wine selection both on the menu, but also within the store if you want to select something else. My fiance actually had beer with his food, whereas I stuck with wine. We'll definitely be back. And we love that they are a member of Pinpoint! read more

Great service, excellent food, wonderful atmosphere! Corkscrew in Rockbrook is such a nice find. It's the perfect place to enjoy a glass or two of wine with a good book or hanging out with friends.

I've been to Corkscrew numerous times. Service is always great, wine selection is amazing, numerous seating options (couches, tables, and a large outdoor patio), and delicious food. This is a go-to spot for me. read more

L9ved the wine and the food despite they have no bur champagne by the glass or by the split. I bought a full bottle. My companion and I had a lovely nosh, totally over 100 including tip. AND THEN I asked them to recork the champagne. These devices are offered everywhere, are easy to use and maintain pressure. (yes, they are anticipated and that is bad but they can be reused!! Most wine shops have them. Not this one. They recorked my brut champagne with a cork from another bottle of red wine. I drove 3 miles and the entire bottle exploded all over the interior of my front and back seat, a bouquet of silk flowers and curtains I was to hang at Mom's. This happened while I was driving. Thankfully, I didn't have much of that champagne or I would have wrecked. Now I need to have the entire car pro cleaned and shower when I get home. I will stick to LaBuvette and other places that know wine and how to handle it from now on. Lesson learned! read more

Such a pleasant patio, but why oh why must the music be so, so loud? This is not Jimmy John's. Even in my old age and declining hearing capacity, the music is too much. Nice wine selection. Good meat and cheese. I like this place but for the overbearing music. read more

Can we get real for a second? I could eat at either of the Corkscrews at least once a week and be a very happy girl!! Today I was at the one out west and was the only one in the place. I was craving their meat/ cheese plate and to sit on the patio with my favorite almond sparkling wine. Mission accomplished! They had peppered salami and chorizo on the docket today with smoked blue, triple creme Brie and Asiago . Every time I visit the staff is and so nice not to mention the weather today just elevated the entire experience by . I do wish this location had more on the menu...like the wrapped dates and baked Brie specifically. But I still you corkscrew. read more
