Came here for the first time and will definitely be coming back. This little spot is a hidden gem. It's so cute and intimate inside. The customer service was great, they have a wonderful selection of wines and beer. They have a brunch menu as well as a regular menu and the food was amazing!! They also do wine flights! read more

This is one of the cutest GEMS in Clarendon. Not only do they have extremely delicious wines and froses, but their food is also incredibly delicious. In terms of drinks, I am obsessed with the passion fruit fries. This drink is citrusy and Boozy which is the perfect combo for summer. Additionally, I highly recommend the Saganaki Shrimp as well as the empanadas. This is one of my go to spots and I have yet to be disappointed by the service, drinks, or food. read more

I absolutely adore this place! We ordered wine, the cheese board and I had the Toked Goat Chicken Sandwich with tomato soup. Everything was absolutely delicious and I loved the flavor combination of the sandwich. The ambience is lovely - perfect for a date or girl's night. They also serve brunch, which I'll most certainly be returning for. read more

I am so glad I found this bar! It has a great selection and I had them hand deliver a thank you gift to a local resident at their home. Everyone was helpful, professional and the gift was delivered in a timely manner. Highly recommend. read more

Came here with some friends as this place came highly recommended by one of the friends. As someone who is not a drinker I really enjoyed my experience here. They have a wide selection of wines and give you an authentic European like experience with their Italian snacks wine and a décor. The food is pretty tasty as well. I had a salad and it was pretty much everything that I expected. My only quarrels are that I wish they had more vegan options and I wish they had a larger space so that the experience does not feel so cramped. read more

Wine selection was impeccable. The goat cheese and chicken panini is so good I got two of them. Can't beat the service. Place is a little tight but I think it adds to the European charm. 5/5 would recommend read more

I have been to Screwtop or ordered takeout many times! Yesterday I went to enjoy a wine flight and some of their truffle popcorn. The truffle popcorn is amazing!! The wine flights are great too, a little bit pricey, but it is worth it to me because I always like all the different wines listed in the flight. I have never found one I didn't like. I don't mind paying more because it is a treat! The food here is really good. If you are dining in, I definitely recommend their sandwiches, they're so good! I have also had the grilled cheese sliders and they are great as well! Takeout is a little tricky sometimes as the food doesn't always hold up well in the takeout containers. I try to support them when I can and I did do takeout during covid. If you have the option though I recommend eating in person! Love the new seating outside with the fire pit area! It keeps you surprisingly warm if you're dining outside on a chilly evening!! read more

We went after work for drinks to screw top and each ordered different wine flights. The rose flight and the down under flight were really good! The appetizers were also really yummy and they even brought out extra bread for us when we asked for some for the goat cheese. Really enjoyed our time there and servers were really attentive! read more

This place is sometimes great and sometimes misses the mark so a solid 3. Inside its tight quarters with a few small tables but it's not too loud, the outdoor seating is really nice when the weather is nice! Service can be a little slow/ uninterested but we have also gotten some really great servers. The food portions are small ( sliders and bruschetta in particular) and a higher price point - nachos $16-20 . I do love the soup and sandwiches. The quesadilla is also a filling starter option. We usually do the wine flights. About $37 for 4 3oz pours. It's a nice experience on the more expensive side but when the weather is nice it makes for a lovely evening read more

We've walked past Screwtop many times and are so glad we finally stopped in for some wine and a snack! I had a glass of the Wild Pear and my husband had a glass of the Pinot Noir, and we gladly would have had another glass if we didn't have plans after. I ordered the grilled cheese sliders and they were delicious! The best comfort food and just the right size for a snack for 1 or for sharing. They were cooked perfectly with gooey cheese and the tomato soup for dipping was the perfect touch! We'll definitely be back and enjoyed perusing the large selection of bottles of wine. The vibes were great and cozy as well. I would definitely recommend this wine bar for an elevated drink and a bite to eat! read more

This is a really lovely wine bar in Clarendon that I can't believe I haven't been to until now! I walk by it frequently and it is always packed. When I went on Sunday night there was a 30 minute wait, and they don't take reservations. The interior is not huge so I'm guessing that's why. Anyways, the wine selection is great, lots of good options for flights and tastings, and none overly expensive. The food is also awesome for being a wine bar! In particular I really liked their grilled cheese and of course their cheese plates were also delicious as others have mentioned. I'll definitely be back! read more

I joined the rosé club as a ploy to make my husband bring me here for a date every month. Charcuterie has a special place in my heart, but everything I've eaten from the meatballs to the Cuban to the pork belly lettuce rolls, have all been great. The low carb pork belly lettuce wraps are packed with meat and come with an awesome peanut sauce. Plenty of bar seating and friendly staff. read more

My fiance's dad was in town, and we wanted to take him and his current girlfriend to a restaurant with many wines to choose from. It was her first time in the DMV area, and we wanted to visit a place where we could go wine tasting. We decided to try Screwtop Wine Bar due to it being so close to where we live, and because of the wine flights it offered. The place is a bit on the smaller side, but the atmosphere was welcoming and had lots of natural lighting. A lot of the space is used to store the wines that are part of their membership program. There was also outdoor seating as an option, which is perfect for the summertime (and if you have dogs)! We all enjoyed our time here, and liked that there were so many fun wine flights to choose from. I ordered the "Sassy Sparkling Ladies" flight, and appreciated that the flight included a paper with detailed descriptions about each wine you were tasting. In addition, the "Strawberry Fields Forever" salad was AMAZING! I'm not usually a big salad person, but when I go back I'm ordering that again. Overall, definitely recommend this place for a light lunch and as a place to try a good variety of wines in the Clarendon area. read more

Absolutely love this place! This was our first time here and was an amazing experience! The staff is AMAZING! At one point my boyfriend had asked our waitress on her opinion on some favorite wines they served and couldn't have been happier with her recommendations. We both got frozes, shared the grilled cheese sliders, baked goat cheese and the small nachos. I also got a sangria and my boyfriend ordered a glass of red wine. The wine flights are also amazing which we tried! We will definitely be back to try their brunch menu! read more

Pretty cool little spot. They have a good selection on the food menu and the wine menu is pretty extensive. The food is on point too. I got a maple chicken sandwich(forgot the actual name) but it was awesome. Honestly, my favorite thing was the tomato soup. I actually devoured the thing. My only complaint is the size of the place, it's a bit small so I recommend making a reservation. Other than the size, I definitely recommend! read more

Out of the blue I decided to drive to arlington and check out this place. It is like 25 miles and parked on road side as I was not aware of free parking downstairs. I got chair at the bar and the person behind bar (forgot his name with blonde hair) was super nice and caring. Sat down and enjoyed a glass of wine and then ordered salmon rolls and then had another glass of wonderful wine finishing with a glass of bubbly. All excellent choices and wendy the owner has created a remarkable joint for wine and gathering. Might end up back today for wine tasting. Keep up the good work and great selection of wine. read more

Lovely wine bar, came here because we got scammed on eventbrite and they had open reservations + we were in the area. Turns out this place is very cute and date night ish...but was perfect for the makeup I was wearing either way. We didn't eat any food but we did order dessert and wine flights which in my opinion were heavily poured (no complaints here!). Waiter was very attentive and that with the wine/dessert combo is enough for me to come back and try other flights. read more

Great find on a rainy Sunday afternoon running errands. Yelp makes life so much better. Staff is friendly and accommodating; I just walked in without a reservation. You really should make a reservation because the tables are reserved for 1.5 hour spots. I'm 6'2", so tall folks like me might find the tables at little cramped, but I think if you order a wine flight you'll be able to cope just fine. The wine flight's reds were all delicious! See the wine glass picture for the varietals I tasted. The Tuscan Chicken Flatbread was good, but it really smelled amazing! I thought it paired best with the Malbec. They do have a nice selection of bottled wine and cheese for purchase, too, so you can actually check-off an errand while here. read more

Went here for a girls night on Friday and it did not disappoint! We started the night off with a Sauvignon Blanc from India - who knew India had wine? I sure didn't but it was a great starter to pair with the cheese board. We asked for more crackers half way through the cheese board, and the waitress gladly replenished us. The cheese board is what I hope to create one day at home... all different varieties, lovely jam, and fun bites. Then we wanted to get another meal and ordered the shrimp nachos. These nachos surpassed our expectations! We were so surprised and low on wine, that we decided to finish the meal with a bodacious rose. Highly recommend here for a date or girls night!! read more

Screwtop is my favorite restaurant. I pretty much always get the turkey swiss melt with a side of tomato soup. For special occasions / when with a larger group, I highly recommend the pork nachos!! Nelson or Elmer can recommend a great red wine. read more

I've been here a few times for happy hours and recently it's been me and my boyfriend's go to spot because for the price, you get so much food! Every food item is pretty dang great too. I also enjoy that they don't skimp on their side salads. They'll add arugula in there with some shallots, cranberries, and goat cheese, without you even needing to ask. The last time we were there I went with the Buffaloaf and it did not disappoint. We've also had their Baller Turkey Meatball Sub as well as their Salmon BLT - all super tasty. I would recommend this spot for a happy hour or date night. I haven't been there for brunch yet but I'm sure it's much better than Green Pig's! read more

Smaller venue that's great for happy hour and cafe munches. Location is great in Ballston with garage parking free just a block away! We came here for after dinner drinks! Their wine menu is extensive but is an eye-full. They separate the wines in various categories that take awhile to get used to and decide. Fortunately, the waitress there was eager to help. Seating expect to be a little more cramped, they do have beers on draft which would have been nice to know, but nonetheless we had a great beer from Stone and tried a hard kombucha. read more

I just hosted a surprise birthday party at Screwtop & the event exceeded my expectations! We had 3 wines, lots of appetizers & everyone enjoyed every sip & bite. The event planner, Wendy created happy birthday placards with my husband's name & a description of each wine - unexpected, appreciated, & elegant. The staff was extraordinary & very patient. The 10 guests wanted to mingle & did not want to be seated & we held up the service. All the staff were engaging & quickly attended to any special requests.. Thank you Wendy & Screwtop Wine Bar for a perfect celebration! read more

I've been wanting to try Screwtop for so long and we finally made it happen. The inside is pretty small and doubles as a wine shop, but their outdoor seating area is super cute with large umbrellas and nice fire pits. Since it was a little chilly out a grilled cheese with tomato soup sounded perfect to me, there were 5 cheeses on my perfectly toasted bread and it did not disappoint. The side salad also came with a honey vinaigrette dressing that was delicious. For wine we tried a Malbec and a Pinot Noir, both were really good and they gave healthy pours, always a plus. Most of their wine glasses range from $10-15 with some outliers and the food menu is primarily in the $15 range as well. Give this place a try for your next night out! read more

Last night was yet another delightful experience for me at Screwtop! I really love this place! It's the perfect spot to meet up with friends for a glass (or two, or three, or entire bottle) of delicious vino! It's also a highly recommended date spot for it's small size and intimate feel. It's not too loud inside which makes it a perfect place for conversations without having to shout! The service is excellent and the staff are highly educated when it comes to wine and pairing it with different foods. Last night I had the Parmesan crusted salmon over cauliflower mash. It was absolutely delicious! My cousin raved about her roasted squash salad. I love that the menu has wine pairing selections for all of their dishes. Bravo Screwtop! P.S. they have a TV for watching football! Oh... and shout out to the awesomely lovely employee who gave me a few much needed empty wine boxes that I randomly needed. Her kindness reflects the warm and friendly atmosphere of this establishment! Love it! read more

What a gem of a place! This has been a long time favorite for delicious food and wine (loaded nachos and frosé, anyone?) but is now a go-to for party hosting! We just held the loveliest sprinkle (baby shower lite) at Screwtop and they absolutely outdid themselves. Food was fantastic - allowed us to pick from many options and ended up with apricot and Brie bites, individual salads with the most delicious dressing, pigs in blankets (it's a boy!), chicken empanadas, fruit skewers, mini quiche, individual chicken and waffles, lemon parfaits...each one so tasty. We also had unlimited frosé, wine choices, mimosas, sangria - something for everyone. They offered an affordable decoration package complete with cupcakes/macarons from Bakeshop and did such a wonderful job! We will definitely be back for other parties. Thanks so much for making it an incredible event!! read more

I just moved down the road from this wine bar. I saw it a couple times on a walk and was super intrigued so I decided to go in for dinner and I'm so glad that I did. First and foremost, the service is absolutely amazing. Our waiter was super friendly and knew a the whole menu really well. The wine selection is really solid and they have a wine club which is cool as well. I highly recommend the turkey meatballs, they are super tasty and different than I've ever had before. I really enjoyed all the food. I'm not giving it 5 stars because I personally found the price of the wine flight a little expensive, and some of the wine is expensive as well. The whole experience didn't feel over the top, but the prices did. Definitely worth going and I will go again, but definitely won't go often due to prices read more

They overcommitted and canceled my friend's birthday dinner without telling anyone until we showed up. Would never count on a reservation here. They do not account for weather in their commitments and pick and choose who's reservation to honor without notice. Will not trust a reservation here again. read more

The highlight of this place for me was the cheese selection: they have a lot of great options and you can mix and match cheese and charcuterie to customize your own cheese plate. The empanadas were surprisingly tasty as well. The wine was good; we got flights of rose. We had reservations, so there were no issues there, but there were a decent amount of people standing. Waitress was friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Don't ever ask for patio seating in the summer. If it rains and you had a reservation, you are sh^%$t out of luck. Bye bye, the manager will NOT help to find a table indoors.

This place is absolutely adorable. As a Wisconsin native, I die for anywhere that has amazing cheese and this place has an incredible cheese selection. We went on a Monday night around 6:30 and there was a wait, which was okay but surprising. The staff at Screwtop is really knowledgeable and super friendly, we had some wine while we waited and looked at the wine selection available. I'd say in total we probably waited about 15 minutes before we were seated. Once seated we ordered a selection of three cheeses & added cornichons (little pickles). The prices may look a little crazy but let me tell you, they give you a TON. I think for $2 they gave us an entire jar of cornichon lol. We went with a pumpkin goat cheese, a seasonal garlic-y gouda (the green one in my picture) and a guinness cheddar. The cheese was all awesome, they also let us sample a pumpkin gouda that was AMAZING. The portions are huge and they give you a gigantic basket of bread & crackers, we couldn't finish anything, I was not at all disappointed. We also ordered the truffle mac & cheese and its wine pairing. OMG, sooo good. In my opinion, it could have been a bit more creamy but the truffle flavor was on point. We also had a cup of the pumpkin soup which was to die for. Creamy, thick and perfectly seasoned. It was exactly what you want from a pumpkin soup. I ordered the Thanksgiving Wine Flight which was $35 but the pours were pretty generous. This was the only thing I thought was a tad over priced. I really enjoyed the wines though. Over all, I would DEFINITELY come back and would also consider hosting a group event here. read more

We stopped in after massages for a quick bite to eat. I've been here a few times and the service has never been very good. You tend to wait a while for food, and my last experience was quite a long wait, for even my chai latte. I felt a bit of hostility from a woman working there when we arrived and ask about if we had a reservation. We didn't and we're willing to wait a little. Either way, she allowed us to sit at an open table and like I mentioned we waited awhile for waters, to order drinks, and then our food. The food is pretty good when it does arrive. Not sure why we did, but thinking maybe it'd be quicker we waited awhile for dessert.. We waited so long that we asked if the order was put in for us. It was. Just took a long time. Overall, if you are not crunch for time, and just there to enjoy the fun vibes, drink wine, and socialize. I think it's worth checking out. They do have a great selection of beer and wine that you can take home! read more

Such a cute spot! It's a little small and kind of crowded, but I liked the vibes. We came on a Sunday afternoon with friends and got some wine flights. I liked all the different options and the one I got (The Francey Pants) was great. My husband also had the grilled cheese sliders with tomato soup. It's not something I would have necessarily picked, but it was sooo good. Especially great on a cold Sunday afternoon. I'd like to go back and try some of their other wine flights for sure. read more
