Why have I not been here before- I’ve been missing out! Cool interior and seating areas, not to mention the bar. We tried a wine flight and selected a bottle of Rose

This place is an ABSOLUTE 10 out of 10! Serena, the manager is EXTRAORDINARY!! I felt so welcomed and invited! The decor, the ambience, the service, the expertise, the PATIO! I cannot say enough! I will come to The Cork again, again and again! I've never been to a better Wine Bar! I encourage anyone in Johnston and the greater Des Moines area to check it out, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Thank you again, Serena!

Ths was our 1st time visiting and was impressed with the selection of wines. I had a flight of red and my wife had white wine. They selected the wines and we were very impressed with them. Great people waited and had time to explain the wines and other selections we could try. We will definitely make a return visit soon.

We hosted our daughter's graduation party here and we were so pleased with the service & the amazing space. The owners were easy to work with from booking the event to discussing all the details. The manager was unbelievably helpful, and personable making sure everyone had what they needed. I cannot recommend this place more for a private event or simply a place to enjoy a great glass of wine and flatbread.

Chill vibe, great service. Wine flights are lovely, with adorable little glasses. Will definitely be back.

First time visiting, and I'll be back. The ambiance is very cool. They have a decent selection of wine, beers, and spirits. Not much in the way of food options, but they have a few options for bites that can accompany your drink. Service is 10/10. Great place to enjoy some drinks alone or with a group.

Classy place with great ambiance and super friendly staff! I’m not even a big lover of wine, but they recommended a blueberry moscato that was unique and delicious! Love their live music nights, too! Check it out!

We had a wonderful time there! The service was great and the band they had was amazing! They also had some very nice wines.

We gave Cycrena a heads-up that we'd be stopping by with a large group. She did not disappoint. She had prepared for us and was waiting with drinks in hand. Thank you so much!

The owner Leif is so friendly and kind and provides wonderful recommendations, while keeping in mind prices and preferences. The patio is perfectly shaded for an afternoon glass, and the inside feels upscale and neat, without feeling stiff. Great place to relax and have a glass of wine with friends!

First time here and they have a nice selection of wines and the server and the owner help us navigate the menu and made us feel welcome.
