Weinverein is a cozy little spot in Rote Insel, and not something I would have known about if I…read moredidn't have friends in the area because it's hidden away from the busier parts of the neighborhood, more like a local spot (or so it seems).
It's small inside, but the corner location gives it a lot of space outside for tables, so long as the weather isn't bad. I love the cozy, rustic vibe, which is perfect for small get-togethers with friends or a romantic meetup for a date.
The wine list strikes me as comprehensive, though noticeably missing are alcohol-free wine selections -- a couple of those would be nice. There are also lots of snack options like cheese plates, a selection of veggies (with something for the vegans) and even flammkuchen for those a bit hungrier. I didn't try anything but might if I come back and am hungry. There are also some beer and soda options on the menu.
Service was kind of hit and miss. In the beginning, the person working was quite attentive, but as the night went on and it got busier, one of our orders was forgotten, so we ended up calling it a night. Regardless, I'd still be down to try it out again.
Reservations are available, so I'd especially recommend them in inclement weather.
