I was really looking forward to visiting Uncork Charleston, but unfortunately, my experience was not what I expected. The wait staff was not very welcoming, which definitely impacted the overall experience. When visiting a restaurant, especially one with such a great reputation, I expect to feel welcomed and valued as a guest. I was also disappointed by the inconsistency in the posted hours. The hours listed on the restaurant's website differed from the hours shown on Google, which can be very confusing when you're trying to plan your visit. Another concern was the payment experience. The restaurant placed two separate holds on my account--one for $1 and another for over $100. I understand that temporary authorization holds can sometimes occur, but having two separate holds was unexpected and added to an already disappointing experience. Hopefully, this was just an off experience, but based on my visit, I would hesitate to return. read more

Loved the concept of the self serve wine bar! Plenty of selections and the option of 1, 3, and 6 ounce pours for each. The charcuterie was huge, we split this between just two of us and were too full to order the tortellini we had our eyes on! read more

What a cute, creative spot. I stopped here for a few appetizers, and I also enjoyed a few wines. The wine concept is that there are 5 cases of wines, you can choose a tasting, a glass, a larger pour, or a bottle. You get a new glass with each new pour. You choose which wine you'd like & how much you'd like. I appreciated that I could do tastings of various wines. The QR code gave tasting notes, so I could choose what I might want from there. The food was also delicious. The meatball had a cinnamon after taste which was interesting. The crostinis were super tasty with the goat cheese, balsamic reduction, and strawberries. read more

Love the atmosphere, wine collection and menu. Their other drinks are pretty awesome as well!

I left a solid review for this spot that sadly was deleted in error. I finally tried the espresso martini which was rated #1 in Charleston! Impressive given how many bars serve it. I definitely enjoyed it. There is a server from PA here who is so sweet & friendly!! The selection of wines were fantastic and my parents were happy to see some Spanish wines. read more

Ate and drank here last week while in town. I drank beer, very good selection for having only 4 drafts, could not go wrong. Wife had a cocktail, blueberry smash deal, she said it was very good. 'The kids' had the self serve wine, they liked the wine and the process. Service was exceptional, beyond exceptional. Daughter's boyfriend made a reservation and they had a beautifully set table ready for us. The place had a cool vibe, loved it, very relaxing. Charcuterie board was great (pictured). We also had all the shareable plates, all good, the meatballs win. Super tasty, could have been one persons meal. Wheelchair accessibility was good and the had clearly planned ahead, which is always nice when you have a reservation read more

If you're in Charleston visiting, you have to do this food tour we did that affiliated with this restaurant. It was legit amazing!!! We started at the Veggie Bin. Where everyone who booked the tour that day picked out one thing in the store and the chef takes what everyone picked and prepares a surprise 4 course meal for everyone. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chef comes out the table to serve you and explains each ingredient used that the group picked. Very delicious and unique. I never had so much fun. While the chef prepares the group also goes on a tour around Charleston. You have to check it out!! Here are some dishes the chef prepared with our ingredients read more

Wasn't expecting to visit while in Charleston for a short while but the family was torn. My son and I wanted biscuits next-door and my husband is not a breakfast person! So luckily I am not a big wine person (only because I have Asian flush andcant consumeorenthan a few sips before I'm beet red) but he is and we got our biscuits came into uncork, ordered wine, she crab soup and salad and everyone was happy! Honestly the salad and perfect appetizers were great for me because the biscuit was quite heavy. I asked our server what could I order that is quintessential Charleston and she suggested that she crab soup! I had never had one before but I loved it so much... that hint of Sherry was everything! I've seen this wine bar concept before but Uncork really has it down. HubbyStanks was in heaven! read more

Love this joint! They have delicious espresso martinis and charcuterie boards. Great vibes and service :)

Dropped in for some wine after dinner. My guest was a regular so I felt like VIP when we entered. We were greeted with hugs and smiles and once they found out we were celebrating my birthday, they treated us to a toast of Prosecco! Such a sweet gesture! Our servers Jaelle and T were so nice and friendly and just kept us entertained during our visit. Uncorked is a wine bar with wine on tap. They have a dinner menu with other drinks available as well. There gourmet charcuterie selection is quite pleasing to the eye and palate. The variety of wines on tap was enough to satisfy my evening. We didn't stay long since it was getting late and we both had to work in the morning. Will definitely be making this a regular spot on my entertaining list. read more

This is my second time at Uncork and we left saying "Not impressed."the concept of pouring your own wine, the amount you like with a card is interesting, but at the end is really not fun or worth the cost. First, you enter and you have to give a credit card in order to get a card that you enter each time you want a pour of wine. There is not an extensive offering of wines. I was disappointed to see one rose that was very sweet. I ended up trying 1 oz pours of 3 different wines before deciding what I liked. Normally, I would have told the bartender my preferences and would have found a glass of wine that I would enjoy. The food offerings are good but not great. The charcuterie and cheese offerings are pricey for what they have to offer.Overall, I was not pleased enough to plan to return. read more

Great concept but just terrible management / oversight combined with horrendous execution. Food is horrendous - literally horrendous - salad wilted and overloaded with dressing. Meatballs frozen and disgusting. Garlic bread not edible. Mushrooms so sweet that also was inedible. Ambiance needs a real deep cleaning and lots of paint. Service needs a total restaffing. Scary overall in so many ways. read more

Visited this wine bar on a food tour and loved the ambiance inside! Their service was amazing and the concept of a self serve wine bar is really neat so you can try various wines to explore what's out there. Their food is also perfect for a light snack and includes things like finger foods and charcuterie boards. We got a Brie, strawberry and cucumber bruschetta which was good but could have used a bit more cheese! read more

With a busy morning in Charleston we stopped by Uncorked in the afternoon for a small snack. Upon entering you are given a card with a chip to use for wine and food. They have 40 wines on tap that you are able to choose if you want 3,6, or 9 oz pours. With our wine, I got the Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms and they were gluten free and a great snack. They didn't have a ton of gluten free options but I was glad they had a few. The appetizers were a little expensive for the size but the wine was a good price. The inside of the restaurant has a great ambiance and is a cute place. There's street parking located out of this business if you're driving. read more

Uncork Charleston is a wonderful wine bar in the heart of King street. It offers the option to pour your our wine withe the machine dispenser but it also has a great cocktail menu on the bar. The happy hour is phenomenal and offers these cocktails at half price. The food is amazing! They offer some appetizers that can be easily shared but my favorite part is the option to make your ownCharcuterie board by choosing from several meat and cheese options. Regardless of what you choose, you get a full board with delicious honey, bread, picked vegetables, jams and everything you can imagine to make it t incredible. The staff is really nice and accommodating and were able to offer gluten free options for the board for one of our party members. (cucumber slices instad of bread) I cannot recommend it enough and I will certainly be coming back ! read more

Uncork Charleston - delicious and beautiful cocktail at the bar - Wine Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Stopped in on a Thursday for dinner. It was happy hour so the cocktails were only $9. Some of the apps were also on special. We had the whipped goat cheese on crostini which were good and ordered a charcuterie board with a couple cheeses and some meats. It was very good. The service was spot on but there was no one in there due to the incoming hurricane. The place has a huge selection of self serve wines but not a lot of ambiance or decorations. It's I. The middle of everything so a good location. read more

Julia was amazing! Great charcuterie for Happy Hour and beautiful wine selections! Got right in!

It's a fun place for sure, a nice and elegant vibe. It's a self-service wine bar (these are quite trendy now-a-days), where you can see all the different bottles in a row and dispense your own glass (choice of 3 different sizes). Would recommend this place for a meet-up with colleagues, friends, or date night. My suggestion to get 5-stars would be to have different types of wine glasses that match the different wines appropriately. Still a very nice place though! read more

One of my go-to wine bars in Charleston. The staff is friendly and fun. Their food is awesome. Natasha is the chef and does an awesome job. They have a full bar with great specialty drinks. Their wine selections are great. They have the Enomatic wine tasting system, which is great for trying the various wines they have featured. read more

Uncork is a fantastic self-serve wine bar with food, charcuterie boards and a full bar. I highly recommend (10/10), and we will definitely return. Uncork has a wall of 40 wines down the right side that you serve yourself through a self-dispensing mechanism. You can choose from 1, 3 and 6 ounce pours. The wines are pretty expensive, but all of the wines we tried were good. Uncork also has a full bar in the back right. We ordered a espresso martini from the bar, and it was really good. Uncork has multiple options for food. We got the charcuterie board, which had meats, cheese, nuts, pickled vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, fresh locally baked bread, in-house made sauces and mustards and fresh herbs. It may have been the best charcuterie board we have ever eaten. We sat at the bar and were able to interact with a lot of the employees. The service was very good. The bar tender, chef and servers were all really friendly and attentive. On the night we went, there was live music with a man playing guitar and singing. I highly recommend Uncork Charleston (10/10), and we will definitely return. read more

I'm between a 3 and 4 for this review. There was certainly nothing wrong with uncork, but being a self serve wine bar I was a bit surprised at how long it took to get cocktails when ordered through your server. The service was a mix of smiles and welcoming vibes to very dull and almost rude (depending on who was helping us). We didn't order food because the space doesn't really "give" restaurant but on the way out we saw some great looking dishes being served to those around us. The ambiance was ok- it almost felt like an empty room a bit which was surprising at 6:30 pm on a Saturday read more

Loved this cute little wine bar! It is a self service wine bar where the wine is on tap. You sync your credit card to a card they give you and you can try all different types of wine. They had some really great rose and orange wine options. The food looked great but we didn't eat there we stopped in before dinner elsewhere. We were so lucky we got a cute table by the window and it was great people watching. read more

We were both disappointed in the food and service this week at Uncork on King. We sat at the bar and ordered a couple of appetizers including Meatballs and Whipped Goat Cheese Crostini. First of all, the goat cheese certainly was not whipped it was lumped on soft baguette and smothered in sweet balsamic syrup topped with strawberry and basil. Good concepts but poor execution. The meatballs were better but included a strange spice that I could not identify and certainly did not belong in the dish. Servers were more focused on their phones than customers and a few took time to vape outside the kitchen door which is not appropriate in a wine bar. The wine was pretty good but after quickly pushing aside the food we made our way outside to find some other options. read more

Excellent service great bartenders who really know how to make a drink just in case you need a break from wine....but who needs a break from wine? Had the mojito and hubby had the old fashioned and Manhattan as per usual. So glad we walked in here and check it out after dinner on King. read more

Delicious! Our server, Angel, was amazing and treated us well. We can't wait to go back next time we're in Charleston.

What a fun concept! I haven't been to a place like this but I loved the idea and ability to try so many different wines without having to buy a full glass. We came in for happy hour and their items on that menu were also amazing. I definitely recommend trying this place if you're a lover of wine, good vibes; and flavorful food. read more
