I finally had the chance to visit this gem. Super affordable happy hour prices. We started with the wine flight which featured a white, rose and a red from Portugal $9 during happy hour. We then moved on to a medium BBQ board:smoked summer sausage & tasso ham, fancy cubed cheese, bbq, pickles & crackers, which was a great snack for two people. Next up was the Yemaya cocktail: spicy pepper infused mezcal, tequila, passionfruit, lime, agave...5/5. Final item was the cheesecake: strawberries and a balsamic glaze.the glaze really balances out the sweetness. Vibe: nice, chill and relaxed. Parking: crowded but lot beside the ATM allows for overflow. Service: staff were so friendly. read more

Met up with friends yesterday afternoon at happy hour at Knifebird wine and bar. My friend ordered a Flowerhead beverage. It was very pretty and colorful. She said it was very good. My other friend had a glass of Moscato. She said it was very flavorful. I ordered a Mediterranean charcuterie board with vegetables-cucumber, carrots, and celery hearts. The board came with a few slices of pita bread. Also included l were with olive tapenade and hummus. Each were very tasty and plentiful. I should have asked for a few more veggies and pita. Very tasty and delish. My friends ordered the SLT which is a sandwich with prosciutto, tomatoes, arugula, bread, and lemon aioli. The y looked very good In presentation. My friends said they were delicious. Our server Maddie was very nice, cordial and attentive. She checked on us from time to time. The restaurant is decorated very nicely. It is a cozy modern feel. The servers wore Hawaiian shirts which added a nice touch for an original ambience. There are a few parking spots in the front and more on the side of the shopping plaza. It is a tad limited in parking since there are multiple shops in the plaza. I like this newish place and will return with friends. read more

knifebird TRULY never disappoints. They have all of the perfect elements: wine, cocktails, nice decor, subtle music great service and our favs...charcuterie boards! Over the years, I've been here alone, with friends and on dates. It's literally the perfect space for things I love to do solo or with a buddy. Come for the happy hour, stay for the happy hours. read more

Cute little spot in Midtown to enjoy a glass or two of wine and light bites. The customer service was great and I really enjoyed myself. I ordered the "Wine Flight" Sweet Dreams and my favorite out of the three was the Brachetto. I also ordered the Riesling and it was the perfect finishing touch. For food, I ordered the Flight of Bruschetta (tomato, prosciutto, and brie and fruit). The tomato and prosciutto was really good but I didn't care for the brie and fruit. I also sampled the board my friend ordered and everything on there was good. Overall, I would come back to try out more of the wines and other food options. read more

10/10 every time I've gone - it's as simple as that! They know how to make for a unique experience each time, and that's not just because the drinks are great, but rather the service is superb each time. I love asking for suggestions here because they are always thoughtful and personalized to your taste. During my last visit, I had their sweeter version of a Manhattan (see picture), and it might be one of my favorite drinks I've had in this city. We also got a charcuterie board for the first time as well, and it was pretty solid, though I would have expected it to be a bit more robust, given the price. Nonetheless, this is a solid spot for a great happy hour, pre- or post-dinner drink, and a great one to add to the lineup! read more

5 stars every time. I come here when I visit from Atlanta for Happy Hour with my mother. Best service, best crafted cocktails and awesome charcuterie and small plate selections. I am not a wine lover, so the "extra fancy" bubbly flight is right up my alley. The deviled eggs, Mediterranean Board and Brie & Fruit are my favorites, but honestly you can blind select or ask for suggestions and be 100% satisfied with your experience! read more

My friend suggested we go here on our little outing on a Monday night. I LOVE the ambiance. This place is so cool and chill. Just my style. It wasn't very busy when we arrived, but we did make a reservation in advance just in case. Our waitress was super sweet, helpful and knowledgeable, which made ordering a breeze. My friend had been here before so she knew which wine she wanted and went with a glass of that. I ordered the "sweet dreams" flight. My favorite of the three was the moscato, but the brachetto was a really close second! To share we ordered nick's deviled eggs, a small house board, and garlic and herb cheese spread. We each also ordered a bruschetta. I had the pesto rosso and she had the caprese. Honestly, I felt like everything was very good. The atmosphere really set the mood and made it that much better. I'm so looking forward to my next visit. read more

Great ambience. Perfect place for date nights. The wine is not Napa Valley wine, but it's the vibe that matters. We all got a flight of wine (reds, whites, and rosé). Each glass has a generous pour and the price for each flight was in the 20s. Highly recommend if you want to be bougie on a budget and also looking for a great date spot. read more

Recently I was able to visit one of my favorite wine bars for a little girl time and Happy Hour! I've been going to knifebird winebar since they opened in 2018 and I have no clue why I'm just posting about them. Smh Anywho, knifebird is the perfect spot for those of us who like tp try different wines, learn more about them, charcuterie boards, or looking for a nice chilled yet sophisticated atmosphere! It's chic and modern design also makes it the go to spot for when you're trying to be cute and get some nice pictures or have a date! It's versatile and always a great experience for me! They have really good customer service and their staff is always so knowledgeable! On my most recent visit we had the pleasure of having Maggie as our bartender and server and she was the sweetest! Knifebird is located in the Cooper Young area in the same lot as Urban Outfitters and has Happy Hour every Monday through Saturday! If you haven't been I definitely recommend! The only warning I will give is that if you're looking to have a meal do that before you come as most of their bites accompany the wine selection. Also, they usually have a full house so just to be safe make reservations before you go! Happy Hour is every Mon - Sat from 4 to 6 and includes: $6 house wines $24 Bottles of house wines $9 wine flights $8 cocktail special (cocktail rotates so ask for special) $8 afternoon spritz $3 beer of the week $34 house special (1bottle and medium charcuterie board included) read more

Perfect date spot! Solid mood lighting with excellent service and overall great vibes. Went there for the happy hour special which is a steal in my opinion. $34 for a bottle of house wine and medium house board is hard to beat! We got a white wine, which was medium sweet. It paired very well with the cheese and chocolate board. Overall, i would recommend trying out this wine bar. read more

I came here for a birthday celebration & this place was great especially if you're a small plate & charcuterie board types of person! If you're looking for heavier food consider this pregame before dinner or after dinner. The atmosphere is very chill and laid back. They have so many board options to choose from or you can even create your own. They have daily happy hour specials making the experience even more affordable. I enjoyed a wine flight. Our server was great. She was patient and very knowledgeable of their offerings. Their parking can get pretty full but there is plenty street parking available. I can see myself coming back to unwind after work. Maybe sit at the bar. Come check them out. read more

YA'LL. I can not say enough good things about this place. The ambiance, the employees, the food, the drinks. *chefs kiss* They also have an amazing happy hour, that you should check out. It's from 4-6pm with deals on house wines, beer, cocktails, and they have a fun bottle and board combo! Highly recommend doing that! Honestly, everything I've gotten I have been so satisfied and happy with. I haven't tried their sammies yet ( my friend Liz gets them quite often and loves them) so that will be my next venture. But for real...the bruschetta is so fresh tasting! The herb dip is light, fluffy, and garlicy! And I love that you can do a meat and cheese board, or a chocolate and cheese board. So whatever mood you're in, they have you covered! They also change up the items on the board, so they keep you guessing. A huge shout out to Madeline and Luke for being the nicest people around! They will make your experience be 100%! read more

This place was super cute, and I loved the decor of the place. Our server was super nice and helpful since this was our first time being there. HH prices are really great. Their house wines are amazing, and their meat and cheese boards are delicious too. I did like that when you got certain wine flights, the name is on the glass. It's easy to remember which ones you are coming back for. Can't wait to be back. Parking might be tough, but not impossible. read more

Knifebird is one of those places that makes you want to say THANK GOD! This is a very romantic spot in the Cooper Young. The restaurant has a nice selection of wines and also offers wine flights and cheese trays. The restaurant makes you feel like you are in California. I highly recommend it for a romantic evening! read more

I've visited this business twice, and both times have been extremely pleasant experiences. The first time we had reservations. And the second we did not. However, we were able to be seated rather quickly. The venue is absolutely adorable on the inside. I love the eclectic seating and the floral wallpaper. I especially love the seating because there's a variety of options -- there's couches, if you're looking for a lounge type feel, and settees if you're looking for a more intimate setting. On to the food. I enjoyed everything I've tried. The happy hour is reasonable. The flight pours are decent. read more

This is a great place to go for a casual happy hour with friends after work or for a nice date night. The charcuterie boards are delicious and the wine selection is top-notch. They have a variety of flight selections, but you can also order by the glass. They also have signature cocktails that are unique and tasty. I have been here several times and it is consistently good. I highly recommend. Cheers! read more

Updated review: The last time I came to knifebird, they had just opened a month or two prior. The service my party received was abominable. Thankfully, it seems as though that employee is no longer there and the employees that are there are so sweet. The wine flights are great and I'm SO happy they finally have cocktails. The charcuterie board is a hard pass. $15 for Parmesan and salami. Literally nothing else. Venice Kitchen has the best board in town for $5 more and it's triple the size of the small board offered here (also much better variety and quality). The marinated olives are a must! Not too salty, perfectly seasoned. The bruschetta is what I'll be coming back for. Would recommend the pesto and the prosciutto. Overall, I think it's a cute place with good service and some* good snacks, but it could definitely be improved. Their tables are pretty small and our table of 3 barely had room to move once our food was out. read more

It feels very classy and chill. Big fan of this place! read more

Cute little wine bar in Midtown with a pretty reasonable happy hour lineup. Another couple and my husband and I split the ~$30 special that included a bottle of the house wine and a small charcuterie board. The wine was great, definitely not your standard quality of "house wine." It's worth the drink. The selections on the charcuterie board were great, but sparse in quantity (we had a full meal at Aldo's directly afterward). I wouldn't have been very impressed at full price. However, the real reason for the lower rating is customer service. When we arrived, we were told there was only bar seating available since we didn't have a reservation. That wasn't ideal, given that we were meeting friends. It was pretty empty, but it was a Saturday night so we said we understood and would wait on our friends to arrive to see what they wanted to do. Our friends managed to slip into the restaurant before we could flag them down to tell them about the situation. They were immediately seated at a table, with no mention of the establishment's limited (previously totally unavailable?) space due to reservations. During our ~90 minute visit, maybe two other tables arrived, leaving plenty of space for walk-ins. It was weird, to say the least. It seems odd that they'd end up in such a rare situation with basically an entire restaurant's worth of reservations not showing up on a Saturday night. But maybe that happened. I keep trying to tell myself that because the alternative is that, for whatever reason, they didn't want our business. And that's a shame because I'd been looking forward to trying this place since we moved here this fall, and I'm not inclined to return any time soon. read more

Very pricey. VERY tasty. Absolutely fantastic ambiance. Always a good selection which changes with availability. Some people don't like that. Not I. It tells me they have high standards. read more

This cool little spot reminds me of a tapas bar in Barcelona. The decor is laid back, yet beautiful, and the service is excellent and sincere. The cocktails are handcrafted and sublime. I tried the bartender's special first, a tasty concoction of Mezcal, Aperol, lime and strawberry. Very smooth. From the food menu, we ordered Nick's deviled eggs, and a Bruschetta flight. The eggs, sadly, were a little rubbery and very mustard forward. Bruschetta here, is an individual crostini topped with a variety of toppings. We sampled the Tuscan white bean, the Pesto Rosso, Gorgonzola, and the Brie & Fruit. The Pesto Rosso was my favorite, while the Gorgonzola was a bit of a disappointment because I felt that the honey overpowered the taste of the cheese. We also ordered the Trieste sandwich, which was very good. I rounded out the evening with a second cocktail, the Afternoon Spritz, a refreshing blend of Bordiga Vermouth, soda & orange. It was really a spectacular evening, and we look forward to returning. The house special during happy hour is a solid offering of a bottle of wine with a medium charcuterie board. This is a popular spot and can get a tad noisy because of the acoustics of the building, but is already a favorite of ours. read more

We had a fabulous experience at Knifebird on Friday night! We enjoyed the variety of wines ranging from Grenache and Cabernet, to rosé and Prosecco. We wanted something light to snack on and got the bruschetta and the house board. Both were delicious and great portion sizes for sharing. The service, food, and drinks were all top notch here. We cannot wait to come back! read more

Bar hopping for my birthday and rolled up on this spot. Truly a bar only. They have a nice atmosphere and they made me a traditional old fashioned. It was consistent and flavorful. They have a menu to satisfy the average and above average drinker. They don't use the traditional alcohols you see at everyday bars. They take it a step further and higher. They have been open since 2019 and I hope this place takes off like it should. Excellent place for drink and conversation. The food menu is limited so if you think this is a place of eating stop. It's for serious drinkers only. Well deserving of five stars. read more

I love everything about this wine bar! The charcuterie boards are delicious and the staff always have great recommendations for additions or swaps for those boards. The craft cocktails are also really delicious. I never expected a wine bar to have such great cocktails but they do. And they have great specials if you go in during happy hour. Where else can you get a great charcuterie board and a full bottle of wine for under 40 bucks. I love this place and will be coming here more and more! read more

This place is extremely intriguing from the outside, I don't see many places that have "wine bar' written in the name! I assumed it was a very high class place because of this, and even as I walked in, the environment seemed to match my assumptions! My friends and I were having a girls' night and were sat by the window up front. We had a beautiful view of this purposefully decorated place! I loved the colors in there, they've got gorgeous wallpaper throughout! We had very high expectations after we looked at the menu. I got a cherry liqueur cocktail, and it was the perfect mix of strong and sweet. Everyone said the same thing about their drinks. What ended up being very underwhelming were the boards that were brought out. We got two (the House Board and the Sausage and Cheese Plate) for our group of five, and then split the Cheese and Chocolate Board for dessert. For a place that specializes in charcuterie boards (which is a great idea in today's culture!) you would think they would go all out for them. However, I've decided I will stick to homemade boards and not overpriced one. They kind of did the minimum here. If you are going to be paying what you pay here, you would expect the highest quality of meats, nuts, cheeses, etc. But the items placed on the board were pretty average and I could have picked them up at Kroger's and made my own average board at home. I guess the way to do Knifebird is to go with one other person (a GOOD date night place), each get a drink, and then split a board or two. Do this before going to a movie or play or something, with dinner after. Don't go just for dinner. My friends and I definitely ran through the drive through of Cookout afterwards to get a full meal! Amazing environment, good service, decent food and presentation. read more

We visited at the recommendation of a friend. We made a reservation but I don't know how important that is. We were there on a Wednesday night. The place was busy but tables were turning over regularly and the bar was available. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with menu. Our party ordered 3 flights of various wines and they raved about 8/9. They have a well rounded selection and a knowledgeable staff to help you choose. For food, the options are interesting. I want to say they are your basic charcuterie boards but items like the olive tampanade really elevate the taste. The bruschetta was the real winner in my book, especially the Brie and fruit. You definitely want to give the place a try. Parking is a little tricky but we were unfamiliar with the area. read more
