First timer and it won't be the last! Very impressed on all levels. Great spot, great food menu and a wonderful selection for drinks.
We ordered the charcuterie board, olive boat and buffalo flatbread. Food was fresh and put together with care!
Service is stellar! Shout out to Amanda (bartender) and Caiden (kitchen chef) for impeccable service.
They also have a fun monthly event menu. Definitely something for everyone!

I was first introduced to The Social Cork when I ordered a mystery bag from the Too Good To Go app—and wow, what a great surprise! The staff was super friendly when I picked it up, and that first impression totally sold me on coming back.
The place has a laid-back but classy vibe—cozy décor, great lighting, and just a really welcoming atmosphere. It’s perfect for date night, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a quiet glass of wine.
Speaking of wine—their selection is awesome! One of the staff members helped me choose a glass, and it ended up being exactly what I didn’t know I was craving. They really know their stuff. I also grabbed a charcuterie board, and it was so good.
What I love most is how chill it feels without being boring or stuffy. The music’s great, it’s never too loud, and you can actually relax and have a conversation.
Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. If you’re near Fort Mill and into wine, this is a must-visit!

A True Gem – Our Local “Cheers”!
I don’t usually write reviews, but after reading some of the recent comments, I felt compelled to share my experience. The Social Cork Wine Bar has been a constant source of joy for me and my family. Every time I walk through the door, I'm greeted by name with a warm smile – the staff here genuinely make you feel like part of the family. It truly is our local “Cheers.”
The team consistently goes above and beyond, creating a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere that’s hard to find these days. I’ve watched them handle the pressures of a busy world with grace and kindness. It’s disheartening to see negativity thrown their way, especially when it's so far from the truth.
Running a small business isn’t easy, and the folks at Social Cork do it with heart, integrity, and an obvious passion for what they do. To anyone reading – please consider how your words affect the people working hard to create a special place for their community.
To the entire team: keep doing what you’re doing. We see you, we appreciate you, and we love you. Cheers!

If the hours are listed to open at 3pm, you should be open at 3. Arrived early not knowing the hours, waited 5 minutes after 3 and it was still completely dark with no sign of opening any time soon before we decided to leave and go elsewhere.

Wow, what a gem in Fort Mill! The Social Cork Wine Bar has such a warm, inviting vibe—perfect for unwinding with friends or a solo wine adventure . Their selection of wines from around the world is fantastic, and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, guiding me to a perfect wine pairings. The food is amazing. Mel puts her heart in her meals. Keep up the great work everyone.

My wife and I decided to give this place a try and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a social wine bar. The service was great too and the owner even came over to say hello and see how we were doing. Food came out fast and we have no complaints. Will be coming back for sure. Thank you.

Absolutely terrible owners who hold zero accountability for anything they do and gaslight their customers into being shamed for their garbage service :). Will not be back and will make sure to post on other socials to avoid this horrible place. Shocked they are even still in business and praying on their justified downfall :) :).

We must have gone on an unusual day. It was Mothers Day brunch and the food was absolutely disappointing BUT the service was awesome. The experience was not at all what we were expecting. The brunch menu online was amazing looking so I cancelled a reservation at another restaurant and booked here. Upon arrival there was a prix fixe menu only, it included none of the breakfast items from their regular brunch. Two of the three "meals" were seafood, the other had goat cheese (no go for us). The serving size of the apps and entrees were laughable. Stuffed mushrooms came first. They were tiny, the size of a quarter. Next, I ordered shrimp and grits and there were three shrimp and three slices of sausage on a tiny slop of grits. To add insult to the overpriced injury was the dessert round. Two store bought sugar cookies served on a disposable plate. I'm in the dog house for this experience. I ran home and cooked a proper brunch for my wife. Final thoughts, go here for the wine bar and some finger food not for a special meal.

I decided to come here for my birthday— I found this place online and it looked so cute and the food looked delicious. We made a reservation for the time they opened, and arrived on time only for the entire place to not be ready to accommodate two people. We ordered two cocktails, the Lavender Limoncello, and it not only took nearly 20 minutes, but it had zero Lavender in it, which is the whole reason we ordered the drinks. As someone who has been a server and bartender for over a decade, I cannot comprehend why service took SO long when we were literally the only people in the restaurant. No other patrons, just us. And then, we ordered the mini flight for an appetizer, with olives, spinach artichoke dip and pretzels with mustard. It was TINY, and could have been considered a side instead of an appetizer. Plus, this is served in tiny little plastic champagne flutes that broke because of our server dropped them all over our table. Now, hear me out, I know servers make mistakes and things happen, so I am not even complaining about this, but it just adds to the overall terrible experience. We didn’t even get to order our second round of drinks or our entrees with our server, the owner is the one who took care of us (barely) and we didn’t know if our actual server knew our order or not. I will say, the portions comparable to the price is insane. I’m paying $12 for the Brie and Shallot crostini appetizer for literally two pieces of bread with barely any brie and COPIOUS amounts of honey. We also ordered the Autumn flatbread, which also was drenched in honey, and it wasn’t even the size of a normal sized plate. It was a sad excuse for an entree that was $14 and looked nothing like the pictures. There was hardly any brie or prosciutto on either things. Overall, our bill for TWO people was $122 for food and drinks that were mediocre at best. They did provide a slice of cheesecake free for my birthday, but it was drenched in caramel and it was WARM, so I barely took two bites.
I am not impressed with this place at all. They need to hire an extra server, at least, and a bartender that has any type of urgency at all. I won’t be coming back.
We planned this date night weeks ago with reservations made. We came to fort mill specifically to try this place and even rented a hotel room near by. When we got there they said “we have a private event tonight, and Open Table should have turned off reservations “ Well we have a confirmation email from OT, and heard nothing from either Social Cork or Open Table to cancel our reservations. There was nothing more than “sorry, it’s someone else’s fault, and we are not even going to try to accommodate the reservation you made weeks ago’ I ignored the bad reviews, because I was excited to try something a little different. But the opinions about the owner stand true. They say they try to learn from every bad review, so here’s a tip. When something like this happens, offer the customer a gift card, at the very least! Don’t blame someone else for something you could have avoided, because clearly we were in the system as a reservation. Go to the burger place next door. Good drinks and friendly service.

Maybe it was a bad day/night -the food took forever to come out. Wasn't prepared correctly and the meat was almost nonexistent. My meal had to be returned and after waiting 20 minutes we decided to leave. We weren't te only ones. Maybe there was a problem in the kitchen? I don't know.

This was a first experience at TSCWB. We were very pleased. My wife had the mimosa flight and a chicken quessadiila. I had the red flight and a very good flatbread. Atmosphere was casual. Staff were attentive and delightful to interact with. Good knowledge of wines, Enjoyed our brief discussion of Italian wines as well. Will definitely return.
