    This is a great local downtown place to relax, enjoy some good conversation and catch up with friends or just take time for yourself to unwind a bit. The ambiance here is low lighting with soft chill background music. It's not a particularly big place and you won't find large bustling crowds here so if you need to take a break from that sort of scene this is a great place for that. Overall selection is not massive, you won't find a 30 page book of wines or anything here but what they do have is high quality and good selection at reasonable prices. They also tend to carry organic wines which is nice. In addition they usually have a small selection of alternatives like a black lager on draft and a cider they had available. They also have a rose on tap which I would recommend. Also while they don't have a full food menu they have a good selection of prepared snacks such as olives, pickled vegetables and probably my favorite, a high quality serving of sourdough bread with what I believe was a goat cheese, olive oil and salt/pepper mixture bread dip which was really good and pairs great with most everything on the menu. Service is great too, the staff always seem friendly and knowledgeable. The smaller location means you generally won't need to wait much if at all for service and the staff is attentive to when people might need topping off. Overall would highly recommend.

    Lazy Sunday looking for something open to have a drink and a quick bite saw people walking in here so we stopped in. The inside is very cozy candle lighting intimate tables. They had a wine and food pairing while we were there. So we order the food with the wine pairing. The wine was brought out first my husbands was supposed to be a red, and they brought to whites. They switched it immediately when we brought it to their attention. The food then came and it was mouth watering delicious. I got their lasagna, the picture and in person looked like it was going to be very dry but it was the opposite. Well prepared just enough cheese with each layer and the mushrooms on top cooked to perfection. My husband he got their pork loin and when I say he wouldn't stop raving about the taste. He made me try it just so I would agree, which I did. I don't know how often they do kitchen pairings but we will definitely be back when they do it again. The wines did pair nicely but the food by far was the star.

    They're always so accommodating when we come in for book club. They also have the best snacks around town. This dip and bread was to absolutely die for. We came in with a small group to discuss for book club and they were able to find us a spot that worked although they were fairly busy. I love that they offer table service. I could also live off of their olives which were complimentary this visit and I don't remember that from our previous visit. Their menu changes seasonally to make sure they're using the freshest ingredients.

    Our first visit to Little Pep on Trade Street. This is a cool little wine bar in the Arts District of Winston Salem. We had a late lunch, so the light bites were perfect. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. We had the Bobbie Boy Bakery bread and the Cured Meats.

    What a wonderful little gem of a place. The folks pouring the drinks are always so accommodating and patient. Instead of a loud, rowdy bar like vibe it instead has folks gathering .. from families to friends catching up , and I truly appreciate that kind of vibe the older I get. Very small seating - so maybe very large groups it might not be the best as it's more intimate of a setting .. but on quieter days it's perfect. We've been on Thursday evenings, once it was a $5 wine tasting from wine in one area and the other event was an oyster and cider event. What a fun, atmosphere to foster a thriving community. I am excited to come back here to see what other events they'll have. Also they have orange wine - which was delightful!

    Little Pep is a small gem located in the Arts District right in downtown Winston Salem. Specializing in wine and small plates, they're the perfect place to pop-in for a drink and snack when browsing along Trade Street. The kalimotxo is our tried and true favorite drink, and we've had several great wines too! Their menu seems to change seasonally, so there are always new things to try. They even have a small shopping area with wine by the bottle and varied dried goods and snacks. We always have quick, friendly service, too!

    New favorite watering hole! I love supporting small and local, and I also love wine, so naturally this is a go-to for me. I am so happy Little Pep opened up- it's the perfect blend of cozy/chic/trendy and their offerings are diverse and high quality. Even better they are open on Wednesdays now. A bit on the pricier end but worth it for a great experience all around. I had their watermelon wine spritzer most recently and it was delicious. Their sparkling wines are always a hit too.

    Finally a cute little wine bar for our downtown ! I adore this place already, great little eclectic menu, small plates, friendly staff, knowledgeable at that. Great wine glasses and some truly interesting wines. They have definitely done some research on the natural wines selection. Inside was super cute with great seating and a nice bar area. Also couple of tables outside. They also have some retail foods and wine you can buy. I love the clean fresh decor. We wanted to try something different so we asked our server and she suggested their Rosè, and it was definitely different but in a good way! Clean, good smells, great color and easy drinking. We also tried their bread service, which comes from Bobby boys, always good! Hearty bread and some good butter and some pickled veggies. Went down well with the wine. It was great place for our pre dinner drinks. I loved seeing it busy already too... I hope Winston supports this new business well and I plan on coming back frequently. Gotta support women owned businesses! Nice job guys with your vision, it has truly been captured well.

    I've been here multiple times and each time is just another magical experience. On this particular occasion we had two different options off their sweets menu. The toast was glazed with honey, had a dollop of butter and a sesame seed crust that was perfectly toasted. The cider apple with ice cream not only looked delicious but also tasted it! Each bite was the perfection!

    Awesome place in downtown Winston Salem to hang out and have some wine in a chill & relaxing environment. The interior is decorated with pink themed colors and long bench seating and small tables throughout. The menu includes small snacks wine and beer. The owner came by our table and spoke to us about some of the artwork that was done by them. Very nice people running this place!

I had looked at the instagram page before arriving and saw a drink that I wanted to try. I couldn't remember the name when I got there and asked for the drink menu. I was given a look that made me feel like I was wrong for asking for it. One of the patrons was nice enough to show me a basket with menus in it. I ordered the drink and went to find a seat with my friends. Even though it was fairly crowded, there was ample seating. One of my friends ordered the $5 old fashioned and ended up ordering several more. Definitely a great deal for the price and alcohol ratio. I chose the hoopla and then a sidecar. Both were well executed. I wanted to try some of the food, but unfortunately we had eaten before arriving. Several people we spoke to said the jerk wings were a must try so I'll definitely come back for those! Outside of the first interaction with the bartender, the other one was very pleasant and continued to serve us with no issues.

We sampled a little bit of everything: the hot vanilla lattes, the Cubano, the cortado, and an almond croissant that tasted like it floated straight down from pastry heaven.

Other than that, the coffee was delicious and satisfying. My friend got a cappuccino that he said was excellent as well. The place had the most beautiful aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Neither of us got anything to eat, but they did have a couple of options. I'm pretty sure one of them was a croissant of some sort and we will have to try that when we go back.

When we were seated the only menu they gave us was of the V-day limited menu. It also said "$140" for two people. This was 2 entrees (super small), 2 entrees and 2 desserts the size of a Little Debbie cupcake. The steak would have been great had it not been smothered with a huge dose of super salty brown gravy. It was so hard to eat. My husband got the chicken breast. It was not bad. A little on the dry side and it alot of seasoning. Go figure. The server was great. Very friendly. The acoustics are bad in there so the saxophone player on top of the music was pretty loud but he did a great job. Then the bill comes. An automatic 22% gratuity was added to the bill. Not cool. I can understand charging 22% for a large party but not for 2 people. Not for a limited menu that only included 3 entree choices, 2 very small dessert choices, and 3 small appetizer choices. The glass of wine I had was $15. We were not blown away by the food. It's a shame because in our opinion if we are going to spend over $200 for a dinner, I would hope for much more than what was served. We felt taken advantage of. I don't know what this place is like on a regular basis but we won't be back to find out.

We got the Rice Paper Tacos as appetizers. They came out looking like art on a plate and they were very gracious to tell us that there's not a wrong way to eat it. I got the Korean BBQ Beef as my entree and it hit the spot! My friend got the Modern Tuna Nicoise as her entree and it looked too pretty to eat, but she said it was delicious! For dessert we got the Passion Fruit Panna Cotta. It was the best way to end the night. We enjoyed our meals and the service was top-notch! Ambiance was nice-we sat in the outdoor area and they had a nice simple table display with a small table lamp that I was intrigued by. I'd never seen one so small but what I liked about it was that it didn't take up space on the table. Usually, the displays take up more space than the food sometimes, so I appreciate the little details. If you've never been to Betty on Burke-you must! I was very pleased with my experience and will definitely come back. PS- they validate parking so you don't have to pay the 3rd party parking system in their lot- HUGE plus!
