Cork Wine Bar and Market

Cork Wine Bar is one of my favorite spots. Kareem, the sommelier, is truly exceptional — knowledgeable, personable, and always spot-on with his wine picks. The food is consistently delicious, whether you come for brunch or dinner. You honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly recommend!

Really cool place with a warm, friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend the fresh chips—they were perfectly cooked. The wine selection was top-tier.

Lovely spot! Went there for brunch and sat in the sunny window. Steak and eggs was good and fairly priced, as was the coffee. Loved the chillwave/vaporwave playlist on the stereo. Staff were super nice. Totally slept on this place until now, but will be back soon!

They charge 2$ for a tiny spoonful of olive oil. They charge 5% service charge that doesn’t go to the servers but right to the owners pocket. Not to mention the wine selection is quite basic and stuffy. Probably for an older and less selective crowd. (no natural wines, no oranges, nothing sulfate free). Food is a boring and pretentious “New” American. Get a bottle from your favorite store and order a pizza home. It’s cheaper and way better than this.

What a lovely wine bar! They have an excellent wine collection. And the staff are delightful. Both the owner and manager are deeply knowledgeable and more than happy to share and educate. Cork is definitely worth a visit if you’re in D.C.
