As someone who is just getting into wine, this is a great place to try a bunch of different things! This is a self serve wine bar with over 50 wines on tap, and I love that you can buy 1 oz pours so you can sample different regions and styles of wine. The servers here are very enthusiastic and friendly and will help you on your wine journey of finding what you like! Every wine is labeled with the country of origin, the grape type, and flavors you can expect. This made it super easy to compare and contrast the different wines and taste what makes each wine unique. My favorite wines are dessert wines, and they had an amazing port and sherry. Everything they have here, you can buy a bottle of, and I loved the port so much I bought one to take home. While you're probably coming here for wine, the food is also pretty good. They have classic European wine snacks like charcuterie boards and tinned fish. My favorite however, was probably the burrata. Burrata is already one of my favorite cheeses, but the juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, and peppery olive oil raised it to another level. It was like a really good caprese salad made even better by the toasted focaccia. read more

While I got complimentary $5 credit to try $1 / 1 oz (so 5 oz pours of different wines), the wine was so good that I opted to purchase more credits. I got to try a variety of wines all around the world with different variations including orange wine. I love that they mention the notes and what food pairs best with the wine. There is ample seating so I can see that there won't be much wait if at all stopping by at any hour they are open. Was a 4 star experience but 5 stars since they remedied the issue. I was initially overcharged to $10 when I only had 8 oz of wine but they were all $1 so they gladly adjusted the price. Note that today only (August 5) there were select wines at $1 for 1 oz and the regular price is $2-4 for 1 oz. But given the market price, that is still a fair price and I can see myself coming back paying regular pricing to bring friends along. It would be excellent if they do happy hours of $1 select wines and I will be hooked to be a repeat customer easily! read more

Finally Seattle has a taste of Europe! I went to a dispensary like this in Amsterdam and loved the concept. You can try a bunch of different wines if you're noncommittal like me haha Such a great and fun option for a happy hour! The focaccia on the mortadella was a bit dry but the flavor was on point. Can't really go wrong with a mortadella though in my opinion. read more

Visited last night with a friend and had a really great time. I'm not much of a wine drinker but my exposure to all their different wines and the accompanying information regarding their flavor notes, origin, and recommended food pairings made this such an exploratory and fun experience. The staff here were all very helpful and friendly, and there was a particular interaction that I was so appreciative of--one of the staff noticed that my friend and I were chatting about which of the rare and special wines to try and he popped in, asked a couple questions about flavor preferences, and made an awesome recommendation. Everything we tried was soooo good and I ended up breaking my budget because I was so seriously interested in trying everything! Highly recommend and personally can't wait to come back again. read more

We got complimentary $5 credit to try out the different wine options and loved how convenient the self pour is and variety of options they had with cute little fun facts added. You can find discounted $1 for 1 ounce pour! Great service and ambiance. They were very attentive. Food options here are alright - could be better to pair it with the wine. We ordered crispy tofu bites but it lacked flavor and wasn't crispy at all. read more

I went to Nomadic for a Yelp Elite event but had gotten the date wrong! I showed up and was solo at the spot, but I still had a great time. The thing I love about this place is that you can pick the size of your pours and try as many things as you like without committing to a full price pour of wine. The gentleman working was eager, helpful, and knowledgeable. This would be a fun place for a date- there was plenty of food on the menu but I wasn't hungry so I skipped over that part and will try it next time! read more

Fantastic place! First great Wine options (I would prefer more Dessert wines but that's just me) The setup is nice and clean and just well designed and comfy. The service was lovely. The main person who serviced us was lovely and friendly and would chat with us about the wine. Just a lovely gentleman (Hope this doesn't sound bad but he had a lovely accent and nice to listen to) Loved his energy. The desert wine I did have was lovely and the food was tasty and good quality. Overall I majorly endorse this place! Was a relaxing and lovely space just to chill and chat in. read more

Went there for a yelp elite promo and thought it was a lovely bar for a quick drink if you're dining in the area or meeting up with a friend. PROS: - nice location, very walkable, inside is spacious and inviting; well laid out with fantastic interior decor, lighting, lots of comfy couches too - servers and workers were very professional - They have a unique system where it allows you to take a token and try out different wine pours for different oz at different price points. It's self-serve which was pretty neat. If you end up liking something you can get a full bottle. With $5 provided to elites, - limited finger food if you're planning on snacking - good collection of wines including Washington CONS: - Horrid parking. I drove around for 30 mins trying to find a spot. Don't recommend driving if it can be avoided - Expensive price for some Washington wines Nice spot for a drink! read more

We first visited Nomadic on Friday evening with some friends. Great time with wine tastings and food sharing! Today, we checked out their lunch offerings. The charred broccoli sandwich was delicious! It looked huge when it first came but I devoured it! Service is friendly and knowledgeable about wine. The remodel since they took over from their predecessor looks great! read more

Omg why can't this place be closer to home! We took the link from Lynnwood to get to Capitol Hill and then it is literally a few blocks down (8-10 min walk). Very convenient!!!! The people working there were very kind and knowledgeable of the wines they had in stock and I LOVED everything I tasted. You can do a little small pour to just taste it but I kept hitting the middle button to get a medium fill. They also have a 3rd button for a large glass fill of wine. I think it's like 6 and then 9 oz pour. The small one (first button) I don't know the oz but it is tasting room size. You get a card and pay to use at each machine and then it balances everything at the end for you at the register. They even sell bottles of what they pour! I loved it! I got a nice bottle of Rosé to take home. It was very reasonable in price too. The atmosphere was awesome too because they have a live DJ. They served food but I didn't try it, however I will next time!!!! So glad I went! read more

Found this place while exploring the streets of Seattle and am so glad we stopped in! A very unique concept with wine dispensers so that you can try as many wines as you'd like with a card that adds to your tab. My friends loved the wine - I personally had an amazing Aperol spritz and the best veggie crunch sandwich. The bread was incredible and the veggies were all crisp and fresh. I would go back just for the sandwich!! Our waitress was so sweet and worked so hard to make everything perfect for us. It was a quiet afternoon so we were one of two parties in the shop. Great find! read more

Incredible service! So friendly & helpful. The space is really gorgeous with lots of nooks and crannies for individual parties. Great selection of wine will absolutely be making this a regular spot. read more

I made a day-of reservation for a chill birthday celebration with friends and it turned out to be a great spot for a group! Not too busy on a Sunday evening and bonus that we caught happy hour. Everyone loved the food and it was fun to get to try different wines! read more

I think the concept of tasting diff wines is fine but I dont think its a good concept to have one little mini champagne as the only option, which was not delicious. And the food has got to improve. The beet salad was terrible. It had chowmen on the side with avocado slices. It doesnt make any sense. Focacia was sort of stiff. They were out of one of the two pasta choices. I think this place would be great for purely happy hour to have couple glasses of wine. read more

What an awesome self serve wine tasting room! The staff was friendly and provided easy instructions in how to use the card to dispense your own wine. There were so many stations to choose from. My fav were the rotating dry whites at the daily drinkers and featured whites section: sauv blanc from napa. As for food, the mortadella sandwich and kale caesar were delicious. Def coming back to try other items on the food menu. read more

Nomadic Wine Dispensary is my new happy place. Yeah, there are a ton of wines (it's a wine place). Over 80 bottles to pick from, all at different price points, so you can go fancy or just try something new without feeling like you're gambling your rent money. I didn't like one of the wines I tried but got a small pour for cheap so wasn't upset. Honestly, the real surprise here was the food. The small plates are ridiculously good. The house-made schiacciata bread is the real deal. No regrets. The space is super open, which makes it awesome for groups or parties, but they've somehow made it feel cozy and cool at the same time. It used to feel kind of sterile in its old wine bar life--now it's got this fun, laid-back vibe that makes you want to camp out and overstay your welcome. Definitely coming back. With friends...and stretchy pants. read more

So fun! Really love being able to try a variety of wines and i find it so fun to need to get up and wander and explore to see what catches my eye next. Great selection their staff is quite knowledgeable. Good selection of local wine as well which is important since we live in fabulous wine growing region! read more

So let me tell you a story. I came here after reading the site. This is a new spot and not everything is worked out, when the expectation about the wine service didn't match up to what was offered on the website, well after driving 50 minutes I was upset. Bonnie the owner must be a mind reader cause not only did she make everything right. She took the time to help me reset my evening after my expectations were left wanting. She fixed the issue. Spent time. And cared. The food is awesome. The wine selection for only 80 bottles is well curated. The atmosphere is lively and with properly understood expectations I will be coming back. Which is about the most I can say about any spot in Seattle that isn't specifically Asian influenced at this point. Well done Nomadic. Well done. read more

Came here on Saturday night with a bunch of girlfriend's friends for book club! Very comfortable and stylish venue, and loved the pour your own wine set up. I had two cocktails which were great, and everyone enjoyed the food. Will definitely return! read more

I really enjoyed myself. I went on a Friday night. It was fun tasting and comparing wines with my friends (it would be an awesome first-date activity). Large variety of wines. Lots of white and red wine to explore. The food looked gourmet. I went back two evenings later with a friend and had a roast broccoli sandwich which was great (and more wine tasting). My friend had the ham and manchego sandwich. I would even go back for lunch just to have the food. They also have a beer tasting room with a large selection to taste. Reasonable prices. Large inside space and large patio. Staff were friendly and helpful. My new favorite place in Seattle. read more

Fantastic wines, delicious tapas, lovely ambience, friendly servers. Since you can choose how much of a pour you want, you can enjoy a self-created flight or match a half-glass to each course you're eating. The description above each wine is informative and helpful. The servers are knowledgeable, too, if you want advice. read more

We love the self-serve concept here - it's an easy way to taste and learn about a variety of wines in an approachable environment. There's something for everyone; they've curated a broad assortment from everyday to rare finds. Check out the "flight" concept where you can compare new world vs old world varietals. The updated ambiance is cozy and inviting. This was a great place to hang out and enjoy the food. Shout out to vegetarian friendly tapas (carrots and cauliflower were A+). Both desserts were amazing, but the crowd favorite was the toffee pudding. We'll be back! read more

Awesome spot! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. They took us around and explained all the different wines they had on tap. I couldn't decide what wines to try so they provided me recommendations based on what I like to drink. Also can't beat the $12 charcuterie board special they had read more

LOVE THOMAS! Amazing atmosphere and he did a great job showing/explaining new wines to us. Great experience!!
