Needed a late dinner on a business trip and foj d this little gastropub. Fantastic small plates and main entrees and a really nice and amazingly affordable wine list. Highly recommended ! read more

Date night on a Tuesday night. Also, it was a 'Dine and Donate' night. Tonight, 10% of your meal goes toward supporting The Reading Public Library. Very admirable and apparently they do this often to support other causes, as well. We were happy to dine at a restaurant that cares about the local community. That's what got me (& my wife) in the door. Now, for the brass tacks: Atmosphere: Very nice looking place. Clean. Lively. Loved the front window open on a warm day and the outdoor seating as we walked in. Service: Hostess and Server were both very friendly, attentive and helpful. Both checked in on us, often. Which, for us, is super important not to feel forgotten. No problem here. Food: Uncorkd Burger (sub grilled chicken), Vegetable Risotto w/Salmon, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Homemade Vanilla Bread Pudding Cake & Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. My wife said, convincingly, that the Grilled Chicken Burger was good. (and that's saying something. (She's super picky about chicken sandwiches) My Vegetable Salmon Risotto was terrific. Fresh, bright, creamy, & flavorful. The salmon may have been cooked slightly over, but only slightly. Cheesesteak Egg Rolls were very good. Not made in-house. The desserts were delicious. Bread pudding with Caramel Drizzle! Oh my! Light & Delicious. Stick Toffee Pudding Cake with a decadent dark chocolate sauce. Delightful. We took those desserts to go and had them at home. Delicious. Terrific experience, tonight. I would go back in a heartbeat. Certainly would recommend. 4.2 read more

Great food! Great Atmosphere! I love going there! The owner Becky is a fantastic host! I Highly recommend!

My wife and I were on a fall foliage road trip and stopped for the night in Wyomissing. We walked to uncorkd and, although we could have waited for a table, were offered a spot in the congenial bar. We shared the excellent charcuterie board and the marinated olives. Both dishes were excellent and made all the more flavorful by the good service and warm atmosphere. read more

Great food and drinks! Definitely a bit changed since last time we visited under the old ownership - but in a good way! Great wine and whiskey selections. Though... Hostess was extremely rude when we brought extra people than we made the reservation for. A happy change of plans and more business for the restaurant... but she was very upset and said we should have called first and that it filled up fast in a small space. Well, we were there with a party of 6 for two hours on a Saturday night for dinner and there was still plenty of seating!!! Overall tasty food and wine! read more

So let me start off by saying this is a place probably best enjoyed sitting down at the restaurant. We ordered our food to-go. My husband saw this place in West Reading last year pre-Covid but they closed, I'm guessing due to the pandemic. Fast-forward to a week ago and he saw they were open again. So we had to try it. Here's what we ordered: -Wagyu Burger Sliders: Yum! This was my favorite. The garlic aioli and the sweet onions are so good. The bacon wasn't too crispy and just enough of it for the entire slider. Two just wasn't enough! The flavor of the burger itself was fantastic. Will definitely order again. -Garlic fries: OMG Absolutely phenomenal. All the drinks we ordered to-go were delicious and even at home the dishes transferred well. The portion sizes would probably have been larger if we sat down in the restaurant. Will return to try that dine-in experience! read more

I'm so happy I've returned to this place. It's renamed and revamped. I've had snacks and small plates. I felt a little like I was in Venice eating the crostini and toppings. Burger and fries were great. Creamy risotto is big enough to share - and worth driving to get. The drink menu and whiskey offerings are extensive. You can sit and see outside and take your time. The staff was helpful and responsive. The food came out quick. All good! read more

This place is now called Uncorked Friday evening 5/17 I met some friends on the Avenue for a night out. There were six of us and one of our stops was here. We entered the cocktail side of the business, there were 3 empty high top tables with seating for four patrons and we asked if we could push two together so we could sit together (we have done this several times when it was Winedown). The woman who greeted us gave us a hard time and excuses. So we left and went up the street to the Bar Cart instead. It's a shame because Uncorked was not that busy and they turned business away. I worked in the bar/restaurant environment and if we could we pushed tables together to accommodate the patrons 5/20 Becky We asked to push tables together on the cocktail side where the windows open, not the bar We have done this several times when it was Winedown. read more

uncorkd - A neon sign shaped like a beer bottle with the word "uncorkd" is mounted outside a building during nighttime. The sign is illuminated with blue and orange lights, and string lights are visible above it. The background shows a dark sky and part of the building's exterior. - Wine Bars Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

Service was excellent and the food was great! Bar tender was attentive and made phenomenal drinks and engaged with every customer!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good drinks! Don't miss their happy hour specials.

This is Winedown 2.0 in every way! Happy hour with decent wine and whiskey at affordable prices. I almost hate to do this review because I'd love to keep this gem all to myself. They have a $20 per person dinner on Wednesdays and it's fabulous. 2 people get a bottle of wine and 2 entrees for $40. Whoever is setting this up/running the place kudos to you. Food is wonderful, portion sizes are perfect! I love that I don't need a to go bag. I can eat an appetizer, entree and desert and not feel like I need an hour on the treadmill. I liked the original Winedown but I love the new Winedown. read more

Enjoyed another delicious meal and amazing cocktails at Uncorkd! One of our go to places for the evening!!!

This is a fantastic place for food and/or drinks! The food is absolutely delicious and the drinks are very creative and unique. The owner and staff are all super friendly, overall a great place! read more

6/23/2018 - Very impressed with Wine Down and I can't wait to come back. First, I have to say that Nicole, who took care of us was incredible. She has impeccable customer service skills! We came in as a group of four and sat on a high top. Nicole got us menus and water. After hearing her recommendations, we decided on one of the specials; Shrimp tostadas, arugula, fresh tomato and also the CASTELVETRANO OLIVES ($5), TOMATO BRUSCHETTA MOZZERALLA, BASIL OIL Toast ($5.50) and a CHEESE AND SALUMI BOARD (three $15). We all ordered individual glasses of wine to go with the appetizers. The Shrimp Tostadas came out hot. There were two big shrimp on each. Perfect to share. The olives came with toast on the side. My favorite was the Cheese and Salumi Board. You can order one, two or three and mix and match. For our cheese, we ordered the PIAVE VECCHIO[ITALY]cheese which has a flavor like parmigiano reggiano, PRIMA DONNA [HOLLAND] tasted like aged gouda. For the salumi, we ordered SWEET COPPA [ITALY] DUCK PROSCIUTTO. It came in a cool black board with toast, marcona almonds, fig, pickled onions and a side of a spicy mustard. It was the perfect board. Prices were very reasonable with food between $7 and $16 and most wines priced from $8 to $12. They offer specialty drinks and there is a Whiskey Bar accessible right next door that is part of Wine Down. Both atmospheres are relaxing and fun. read more

We have been hearing about this place for a while but it sounded a little more upscale than what we were looking for. After reading a recent review we decided to give it a try last. Wow! Blew our minds. The shepherds pie, Caesar salad and Philly cheesesteak rolls is what we ordered. Just wow! Beyond our expectations. The servers were so attentive and kind. Even the owner came to our table to check on us. Just go. It's amazing. read more

One of the few non-sports bar/beer themed places to have a drink and eat in West Reading. The food is great and so reasonably priced. Will always come back as long as they keep the up-scale vibes and great menu & cocktail selection read more

Solid, above average restaurant that's particularly well suited for date nights and social gatherings, I'd say. We had a tuna appetizer (good), a whipped ricotta appetizer (good and quite plentiful), and a burger (solid). The server was very mindful of dietary restrictions, much appreciated. Definitely a place to which I would return. read more

I can only go off my experience from the bar. So this past Saturday I finally stopped in to grab a drink (Tequila is my go to). So the bartenders were super cool. Pretty personable n laidback. The tequila selection was about the same as other places in Reading area. And as much as I'd like to see more places carry Teremana tequila aka the Rock's signature tequila. I made due with what they had. So I also ordered the Blueberry, Lemon cheesecake for $10. Yes a regular slice of cheesecake for $10. Well after a few spoonfuls, the bartender knew I wasn't happy about my dessert choice. It was dry, I'm assuming from the coffee cake type crumbles on it and it was over all not that good. I'd say 2/10. But hey. I ordered it so I ate it. read more

Disappointing. Went it for happy hour, sat at the bar, and was almost totally ignored. When I arrived, the bartender was having an animated conversation with a couple she obviously knew - which is fine - but not at the expense of ignoring your other guests. They left, and she did a credible imitation of Lot's wife: turning into a pillar of salt. Not a word of conversation now that her friends had departed. The food - at least the nibble I had - was good, which is why the place gets three stars. I opted for the prosciutto app, which arrived quickly and was tasty. But the bottom line is that I wasn't made to feel important or even appreciated. And that's an important facet of the hospitality industry. Doubt I'll be back. read more

Its Awesome not that Little Miss Piggy doesn't own it! The new owners are why I'm back, and the food and service is great.

Ambiance is a grown and sexy feel. Stellar selection of wines and knowledgeable staff. Try any recommended pairings and be sure to leave with a smile! read more

What a cute wine/whiskey bar! The two places connect which is convenient and makes it roomy. We grabbed a high top table by the wine bar and a waitress came over to serve us drinks. We didn't try any food. My boyfriend did the whiskey sampler and I did the Sonoma Cuterer Chardonnay (one of my favs!) We both enjoyed our drinks very much. Definitely suggest visiting here for a low key spot, great for a date night! read more

This was my first time here and I throughly enjoyed myself. We came during happy hour and really enjoyed the selection they had. This place is very intimate but not on a completely romantic way. Definitely a spot to visit after work. I had 2 sangrias, red & white; the red was better for me but both were good. I also had the cheesesteak egg rolls which I loved. Hot and cooked very well. My entree was the chimichurri pork tenderloins which were cooked to perfection. I would definitely order it again. My girlfriend got the bistro tenderloins which she said were good but she liked my entree better and I agreed with her lol. Both of our plates came with some green vegetables that we were unsure of what they were. They had an interesting taste that we weren't that fond of. All in all, I can't wait to move into my new apartment up the street and be able to walk UPDATE: WE LOVE THIS PLACE! We have become regulars to the point that the general manager knows what we want as soon as we sit down. We've also become friends with one of the waitresses Shanisa who also knows what we order every time. This place is like its only little family. The manager called it her "home" and as long as we are in her house, she will take care of us. We just brought our neighbors with us last night and they loved it so we will continue to introduce people to this business. read more

I can't believe I haven't done a review here yet! I have been here countless times since they first opened It's definitely one of my favorite places to visit in the berks county area In addition to having a great wine selection, they also have some nice eatery options that have expanded over time The atmosphere is very chill/relaxed If you enjoy wine i would highly recommend read more

Winedown and the Whiskey Bar are certainly one of the cutest, intimate, inviting and chill spots around to enjoy a cocktail! Such an asset to the West Reading scene. Was one of the firsts on the Ave and is still one of the best!!!! Great date spot, too. Not a wine drinker, but that's ok in the rest of their delicious offerings. And a Whiskey Bar is closing a cocktail bar gap absolutely needed in the area. Only critique was a recent visit, for the first time exploring their entree menu. The Butternut Squash Risotto....an absolute needs improvement. No creaminess, undercooked squash and overboard on the sage. Stick to the cheese boards But all in all, super high recommendation! Love it here! read more

My friends and I really enjoy going to winedown. They have both inside and outside tables, and you could sit on the whiskey side, too. Their food and drinks have always been good. Only thing is I wish they didn't get rid of their wine flights.. Otherwise a great place to go to! read more

Very nice atmosphere and great service. I really enjoyed my Naan flatbread and my husband his burgers. They had just sold their last limoncello cake slice but the strawberry cake they offered me was yummy. Husband liked his coffee cake. Very nice vermentino. Waitress kindly offered to check how freshly opened the bottles were we will return. Just wish the menu was a bit bigger. read more

Wine very good, but charcuterie board too expensive for amount of cheese and meat provided. Very small amount for the price...

Just an awesome place for wine and the best place for whisky and bourbon in Berks County. I cannot say enough great times about this place! Except for one thing i wish the three older gentlemen that sit at the end of the bar would stop arguing so much! Again here is wishing for another ten great years! read more

Awesome selection and the wait staff is on point and knowledgeable! Great spot for after dinner drinks. Looking forward to coming back soon. read more

My wife and I tried this place last week. Shes a vegetarian and it can be a challenge. It was a really nice after work joint. Friendly staff and a great selection. We love the small plates and appetizers and didn't initially go in for food but ended up ordering "entrees" too. They have a GREAT wine selection by the glass and they even helped my wife go outside her comfort zone and try some new (delicious) wines. I started with beer but the gentleman next to me got a SCOTCH FLIGHT and somehow one ended up on my table too (LOL) - Not many places have this selection of scotch (Speyside, Highland, and my favorite-Islay). Its a wine bar so it caters a bit more female, but we are definitely going back. You should try. read more

This is anExcellent lil gem of a spot in good ol Berks County !!! Great wine and cheese ...what more could you ask for !! Huge shout out to MARISSA !!

Very reliable for tasty apps and a nice wine themed bar. Prices are reasonable and service good.

This place is next level good. It's the gem of Reading. Friendly staff, high end food, and quiet and intimate. Ended our night on a high.

Prices were a little high. Food was fantastic. Very fresh. Small kitchen so kinda slow service but wait staff very accommodating. Wine was paired nicely with food and staff was Knowledgeable and made great recommendations. Nice ambiance. read more

Best spot for wine and simply delicious food! No place around like it!! They also have an awesome whiskey bar next door... The staff is super helpful, so don't be scared if you don't know a lot about wine or whiskey, they'll help you out! They have the absolute best cheeses and charcuterie plates in town! Also, they recently changed their dinner menu, and it's AMAZING! Definitely a place to check out! read more

I love coming to this place. Sure, there are many places in which you can get drinks; however, the ambience of this place makes a sure thing for a date. The wine selection and the beer specials are well within the price range of the more budget conscious individual. The staff caters to their customers and are extremely knowledgeable about the selection of wines. Even after just a few visits, one is welcomed and remembered. Excellent service. Excellent selection. There is much to love and little to loath about this place. read more
