    Pros -Great and creative concept ! I love the concept of wine and charcuterie in a dining establishment - Parking was easily accessible from the restaurant - Friendly service Cons -Portions were small -Lacked ambiance

    Sweeter version of a Manhattan made for me - 10/10
    Kevin K.

    10/10 every time I've gone - it's as simple as that! They know how to make for a unique experience each time, and that's not just because the drinks are great, but rather the service is superb each time. I love asking for suggestions here because they are always thoughtful and personalized to your taste. During my last visit, I had their sweeter version of a Manhattan (see picture), and it might be one of my favorite drinks I've had in this city. We also got a charcuterie board for the first time as well, and it was pretty solid, though I would have expected it to be a bit more robust, given the price. Nonetheless, this is a solid spot for a great happy hour, pre- or post-dinner drink, and a great one to add to the lineup!

    Cute little spot in Midtown to enjoy a glass or two of wine and light bites. The customer service was great and I really enjoyed myself. I ordered the "Wine Flight" Sweet Dreams and my favorite out of the three was the Brachetto. I also ordered the Riesling and it was the perfect finishing touch. For food, I ordered the Flight of Bruschetta (tomato, prosciutto, and brie and fruit). The tomato and prosciutto was really good but I didn't care for the brie and fruit. I also sampled the board my friend ordered and everything on there was good. Overall, I would come back to try out more of the wines and other food options.

    5 stars every time. I come here when I visit from Atlanta for Happy Hour with my mother. Best service, best crafted cocktails and awesome charcuterie and small plate selections. I am not a wine lover, so the "extra fancy" bubbly flight is right up my alley. The deviled eggs, Mediterranean Board and Brie & Fruit are my favorites, but honestly you can blind select or ask for suggestions and be 100% satisfied with your experience!

    My friend suggested we go here on our little outing on a Monday night. I LOVE the ambiance. This place is so cool and chill. Just my style. It wasn't very busy when we arrived, but we did make a reservation in advance just in case. Our waitress was super sweet, helpful and knowledgeable, which made ordering a breeze. My friend had been here before so she knew which wine she wanted and went with a glass of that. I ordered the "sweet dreams" flight. My favorite of the three was the moscato, but the brachetto was a really close second! To share we ordered nick's deviled eggs, a small house board, and garlic and herb cheese spread. We each also ordered a bruschetta. I had the pesto rosso and she had the caprese. Honestly, I felt like everything was very good. The atmosphere really set the mood and made it that much better. I'm so looking forward to my next visit.

    Great ambience. Perfect place for date nights. The wine is not Napa Valley wine, but it's the vibe that matters. We all got a flight of wine (reds, whites, and rosé). Each glass has a generous pour and the price for each flight was in the 20s. Highly recommend if you want to be bougie on a budget and also looking for a great date spot.

    Recently I was able to visit one of my favorite wine bars for a little girl time and Happy Hour! I've been going to knifebird winebar since they opened in 2018 and I have no clue why I'm just posting about them. Smh Anywho, knifebird is the perfect spot for those of us who like tp try different wines, learn more about them, charcuterie boards, or looking for a nice chilled yet sophisticated atmosphere! It's chic and modern design also makes it the go to spot for when you're trying to be cute and get some nice pictures or have a date! It's versatile and always a great experience for me! They have really good customer service and their staff is always so knowledgeable! On my most recent visit we had the pleasure of having Maggie as our bartender and server and she was the sweetest! Knifebird is located in the Cooper Young area in the same lot as Urban Outfitters and has Happy Hour every Monday through Saturday! If you haven't been I definitely recommend! The only warning I will give is that if you're looking to have a meal do that before you come as most of their bites accompany the wine selection. Also, they usually have a full house so just to be safe make reservations before you go! Happy Hour is every Mon - Sat from 4 to 6 and includes: $6 house wines $24 Bottles of house wines $9 wine flights $8 cocktail special (cocktail rotates so ask for special) $8 afternoon spritz $3 beer of the week $34 house special (1bottle and medium charcuterie board included)

    I came here for a birthday celebration & this place was great especially if you're a small plate & charcuterie board types of person! If you're looking for heavier food consider this pregame before dinner or after dinner. The atmosphere is very chill and laid back. They have so many board options to choose from or you can even create your own. They have daily happy hour specials making the experience even more affordable. I enjoyed a wine flight. Our server was great. She was patient and very knowledgeable of their offerings. Their parking can get pretty full but there is plenty street parking available. I can see myself coming back to unwind after work. Maybe sit at the bar. Come check them out.

    Perfect date spot! Solid mood lighting with excellent service and overall great vibes. Went there for the happy hour special which is a steal in my opinion. $34 for a bottle of house wine and medium house board is hard to beat! We got a white wine, which was medium sweet. It paired very well with the cheese and chocolate board. Overall, i would recommend trying out this wine bar.

    YA'LL. I can not say enough good things about this place. The ambiance, the employees, the food, the drinks. *chefs kiss* They also have an amazing happy hour, that you should check out. It's from 4-6pm with deals on house wines, beer, cocktails, and they have a fun bottle and board combo! Highly recommend doing that! Honestly, everything I've gotten I have been so satisfied and happy with. I haven't tried their sammies yet ( my friend Liz gets them quite often and loves them) so that will be my next venture. But for real...the bruschetta is so fresh tasting! The herb dip is light, fluffy, and garlicy! And I love that you can do a meat and cheese board, or a chocolate and cheese board. So whatever mood you're in, they have you covered! They also change up the items on the board, so they keep you guessing. A huge shout out to Madeline and Luke for being the nicest people around! They will make your experience be 100%!

    Wine flight: bubbly, white & rosè...also. Look at this cute little tray.

    I've visited this business twice, and both times have been extremely pleasant experiences. The first time we had reservations. And the second we did not. However, we were able to be seated rather quickly. The venue is absolutely adorable on the inside. I love the eclectic seating and the floral wallpaper. I especially love the seating because there's a variety of options -- there's couches, if you're looking for a lounge type feel, and settees if you're looking for a more intimate setting. On to the food. I enjoyed everything I've tried. The happy hour is reasonable. The flight pours are decent.

    I decided to celebrate my birthday here with my friends. It was nice and great for just a night out with the girls or as a date night.

    Bruschetta flights, must get!!

    See all

    Is there outdoor seating or social distancing inside?

    No outdoor seating and it is a small space so social distancing is not really practical.

She carried this review up to the 3 I'm giving Non-Vintage. First of all, there was a severe deficiency of seating and staff for this event. No one greeted us when we entered, we moved chairs ourselves to make an accommodating space out of the way of the performers, and at no point did a member of staff take our order outside of waiting at the bar. The line for the bar was right in the way of the performers, and many people were forced to wait 10+ minutes for a drink order because there was only one bartender working. Another staff member had offered to help, and the bartender DECLINED, forcing us to continue to wait. I did try the wings and the charcuterie, they were good. I tried the nonalcoholic hibiscus drink and the nonalcoholic summer cooler drink. The summer cooler was much better in my opinion, but both were good nonalcoholic options. I think I would like to try this place when they are not hosting an event, I'm sure it's lovely when they are staffed appropriately for the shift. However, I was sorely disappointed tonight being forced to wait nearly an hour at the bar, missing parts of the show and on my feet for just a drink.

We were all talking and having a great time three of them were standing and talking to the each other and playing with the baby. He walked up and said to them you need to sit down right now. I think if there was a problem with anyone he could have came in a respectful way and said excuse me can you have a sit for me and lower your voices to respect the other people that are dinning in the area. This man was rude and stood on the side with his arms cross and watched my family this was wrong on every level that people in the restaurant start looking and talking which was so embarrassing to us.
