    My husband, friends, and I stopped by for a Blind Tasting Tuesday for the first time. Owner and Advanced Sommelier Melissa is a wonderful supporter of the community, who I've been able to interact with at several events, so I knew that her Blind Tasting would be a fun, judgement-free experience for someone like me who has never been to a blind tasting before. The experience takes you through tasting three whites and three reds, figuring out their identities. This sommelier-led group starts at 6pm, and is a fun experience for wine lovers!

    I honestly can not say enough positive remarks about this spot! I'm embarrassed to admit I've been living down the street from Swirlery for almost 2 years and it took me this long to make my first visit. Now that I finally have, I 100% regret not going sooner. It really is the perfect spot in the SoDo area to enjoy a glass of wine. I loved the ambiance as soon as I walked in (beautiful and classy) and was so impressed with Melissa & Amy's hospitality. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and Amy immediately greeted us and offered samples of wines she thought we'd like after learning what we enjoy drinking (which is such a rarity since at most places you have to request a sample). She was so informative about the wine options, gave us the rundown of what they're all about (wine club, events they hold, etc) and really made us feel so welcome and right at home in this lovely little piece of wine heaven. We really enjoyed our wine (I wish i recalled what we had but her recommendations were delicious! We are big Cabernet and red blend drinkers). We ordered the charcuterie & cheese board and I absolutely loved the unique touch of the sliced croissant instead of the average baguette usually served. Everything was yummy (we did feel it was slightly overpriced for the portion but everything tasted wonderful, especially the aged cheddar). This is without a doubt going to become my new wine hangout spot and I can't wait to taste more of their delicious wine on my next visit, which I imagine will be in the very near future! All wine lovers need to visit this place ASAP.

    Good wines good service, and the prices were pretty good! Limited seating and the place itself was quite unorganized. Their wine selection was huge though it was nice to walk around and look at all their selections. Will come back to enjoy a nice bottle next time, maybe a cheese board!

    This spot is a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts. We stopped by the other night after a show and absolutely loved it. It was busy for a Thursday night but in a good way. They were also giving out samples of Beaujolais wine due to it being "Beaujolais day" which was really cool being able to try some. Inside is decorated nicely with what felt like all kinds of wine on every wall there was. The staff was super accommodating due to the fact we got there about 30 mins before closing. We got to meet the owner and also order the Charcuterie Tray which was exactly what we needed to pair with our wines. If you love to drink wine and craft beers then Swirlery is definitely the place to go!

    Meet the owner Melissa at another wine event and i just knew I had to come check her place out. It's small but so intimate. There's wines from all over and they have a $10 corking fee. You can also buy the bottles to go. We went for the vegan street party that will now be every single Wednesday from 6-10 pm. So we ordered some food and then sat down and they had a list of wines that the corking fee was already into the price. We got the bottle of Pomagrana from Spain for $34 (a glass is $15) so super worth it. On Tuesday's they have blind wine tastings with a sommelier! Deff a place to visit if you haven't.

    I love Swirlery!! We have been here many a time to do grab a couple glasses and decompress. The parking is just off to the side and in the afternoon it's pretty open. Once inside you can sit at the bar or tables. The bar is made of a tree cut with a polished finish. Really neat. I recommend sitting up there if you can. Specials are on the chalkboard to the right wall of the bar. They carry both wine and beer. Wine list is the more extensive one. Staff here is really nice. Very friendly and makes everyone feel like a welcome local. If you have questions, they're really knowledgeable too!! Try something new! Overall; A++ Love local bars, and a WINE bar is even better! Try out a new thing and find new discoveries!

    What a gem! It was tricky to find at first but there is a little parking lot in front of the dog groomers and then you walk to the main street and into a little wine oasis! There are various table set ups or seating at the bar. I went for a pairing event and it was fantastic! The staff is so knowledgeable. I was helped and tried the side car red wine, it was amazing! I'll be getting a bottle! We tried 4 other wines and paired them with sweets for valentine's day. Almost all of us found a new favorite wine! I will be back for sure for happy hour or another ladies night!

We brought our wine glasses out back, sat on Adirondack chairs, & watched the sunset. It could either be romantic or a great party spot. The site also had multiple event spaces, including a speakeasy! You open a mirror & a beautifully decorated large room with sunlight pouring in was there. They had events such a karaoke there regularly. The main wine bar is eco conscious. Many wines were on tap to save on glass bottles. Their bottled wine also consciously use less glass, but still have enough to preserve the flavors of the wines. I personally loved the violet delight red blend. It has a grape in it that was previously thought to be extinct! The winery is picky about how their grapes are sourced as well to fit into their eco views. They had another red based off a doggo, but I forgot the name. It was my second favorite. I highly recommend starting with a flight. The staff is very confidently knowledgeable & an overall blast to be around. They also have charcuterie boards & PeterBrooke chocolates available for purchase. The owner stopped by to say a friendly hi. It felt like anyone who entered instantly became a friend. Their wines will still be sold in other locations, & the processing location is still there.

The bar manager was so bubbly and fun. She gave us our wine and kicked us out saying we had to go to the back yard before the sun set, so we ran around to the back. The back is a big space with market lighting overlooking the lake. There are wine barrels and chairs around where you can sit and watch the sunset and listen to music. We had a great time watching the sunset and sipping a good Pinot. I honestly wish I would have found Quantum Leap sooner. I'm very sad it's going away. God speed, QL!

Kharis was phenomenal! Her service was exceptional, her attention to detail was top tier, and she created such a warm and welcoming experience for us. She was knowledgeable, attentive without being overbearing, and made the tasting feel personal and enjoyable. What stood out most was how she set the tone for our entire visit. We left feeling excited about the weekend ahead, and our experience at Cooper's Hawk was definitely one of the highlights of our first day. We had such a great time that we already intend to come back. If you're visiting Cooper's Hawk for a wine tasting, I highly recommend asking for Kharis.

Both were fresh and flavorful. It's also worth noting that the portions are VERY large and big enough to share. We actually started with a wine tasting, which I highly recommend. The servers for both the tasting and the meal were very friendly and attentive. We actually were told about the membership privileges and decided to sign-up. We were also allowed to bring a celebration cake for a friend's birthday. I definitely recommend this spot and also suggest membership. If you do decide to stop in, I suggest coming early for a tasting and/or a reservation if you want to have a lovely meal.

    First off, I want to give a HUGE thank you to the Cooper's Hawk Team for making my birthday feel so…read morespecial. My friend treated me to a birthday lunch this week and when we got to the table, the staff had a birthday card waiting for me! How thoughtful! We came during happy hour and decided to try a few small plates and drinks. The Egg Rolls are a must! They were packed with flavor and a variety of ingredients. My friend especially loved the shrimp. We also tried the quesadillas and sliders on the happy hour menu. Both dishes tasted incredible! Sadly, though the happy hour has half priced apps, the plates are also half sized. They were absolutely delicious, but the dishes felt overpriced for the portion size. As for drinks, I tried the sangria flight. I wasn't expecting such a full portion size and was pleasantly surprised with that. I did, however, only find 2 of the 4 drinks to be especially tasty. I wouldn't order that flight again, but would be interested in their wine offerings. I loved the low lighting in the space as it set such a calm and laid back mood. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and especially loved the food! Totally recommend.

For the main dish I ordered the Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops. I give dish the lowest score. The pork chops were dry. The pretzel crust was overwhelming and took over any flavor the pork chops were suppose to have. I picked the Salted Caramel Creme Brûlée for dessert. Yum. I would definitely order dessert again. This can be a nice venue to get together with friends and family. It's a low light calming atmosphere. Our waiter seemed frustrated maybe just having a bad day. Not as attentive as other staff in my past experiences. The parking can be limited near the restaurant. If you don't mind walking a little, there is plenty of parking in the shopping plaza area.
