Met my sister here for drinks and apps before an event - first time here! Love the ambiance and the vibe - super chill and laid back. Love that they have a lounge area, too. Pretty low key for a Tuesday night so we had lots of seating options. QR code menus. I chose a chardonnay that I had not had before and my sister got an Aperol spritz. I instantly fell in love with the chard - it was delicious. The glass price was very reasonable and I was even more excited to see they sold it by the bottle and the bottle was super cheap - so i grabbed 3 to bring home. Second round of cocktails was the same chardonnay and a mule. She enjoyed both cocktails. We had the bruschetta - servers recommendation - it was BOMB! Each crostini was loaded with bruschetta! Lots of delish flavors - garlic and the balsamic were so good. Cajun crab dip was good, not as many chunks of crab as we had hoped, but still very creamy and flavorful. Our server even offered more toast for the dip, so we happily took that home to enjoy later.All in all, great experience with great service. Definitely will be back - already made plans to return on a Thursday when martinis are half off :) They run other great daily specials, too - Tuesdays are free wine tasting!

This place is SO CUTE, perfect for girls night. Service is usually good and quick. The burrata is THE BEST. The garlic feta and bruschetta are also great. I had the grilled cheese with added pesto and it was amazing. The wine and flights choices are fantastic. 10/10 recommend.

I was first introduced to house of wine while on on a GR crime tour, and was impressed by their selection. During art prize, I visited again with my husband to get a beverage while we toured the downtown area. Later in the evening, we were starving and after checking to nearby establishments only to find hour long wait times we popped back in to check out their food offerings. We were warmly greeted and seated instantly, the entire place has such a nice chill vibe. It was refreshing after the hectic busyness of Artprize. While this place is already a hidden wine gem, I have to say I was completely blown away by the quality of their food! Huge portions, and everything was so fresh and delicious. I got a salad my husband got a sandwich and we both couldn't stop commenting on how good it was, my salad had loads of fresh ripe tomatoes, avocado with just the right amount of dressing. My husband sandwich was flavorful cooked to perfection. We started with a warm Cajun crab dip appetizer that was simply fantastic. We paired our meal with a flight of wine each, and there was not a bad choice in either. We ended our evening splitting a tiny tiramisu cheesecake, which was just the right amount after stuffing ourselves silly. I could not believe this place wasn't packed based on our experience. If you are looking to try out a new place, or if you're a regular, and have not yet tried the food I simply cannot recommend house of wine enough.

What a fantastic little spot! Great, knowledgeable and helpful staff, quick service, and great choices of wine (and other cocktails). They offer limited food (mostly charcuterie related) and I'd recommend getting something with the rattlesnake cheese.They have a nice outdoor patio that's dog friendly. Pretty spacious. The inside has a wine store and of course more seating. It's pretty romantic feeling inside.

Highly recommend the strawberry bruschetta as well as the bacon and Brussels salad. The white wine flight I had was delightful. Can’t wait to come back!

It's exactly what it sounds like. A cozy place with wine. Plenty of options to choose from and tastings available. I just wish they had more local wines.

This place is a local favorite. It has indoor and outdoor seating, helpful and attentive staff, an extensive choice of wines, great food, and the most amazing cheesecake dessert shooters! If you love wine this is the place to visit!

It's not a cheap place, which is fine, but when you pay a premium price, consistency is key. Sometimes you get a 12 oz frosé and sometimes it's 6oz for 12.50. It is a nice place though, and worth a visit.
