20 Best Wine Bars in Arlington

“I’m a big fan of this micro business. The place is 50% wine shop 50% curio shop and 50% wine bar. That’s 150% and it’s totally correct. Zena the proprietor is a real hoot. She is incredibly knowledgeable about wine without being at all stuffy. The small selection o bottles offered here for retail sale are expertly curated by her. She knows each bottle intimately and can talk knowledgeably with a wine snob or a mere drunkard.

The real star of the show are her homemade desserts. She does a take on Little Debbie oatmeal snack cakes that is very nearly orgasmic. The chocolate cake is also a star. Try something from the dessert menu and you won’t be disappointed.

The curio shop has wine themed merchandise ranging from the witty to outright bawdy. You will find decanters, rubber ducks, and funny towels. Plus, she has an excellent selection of chocolates.

Full disclosure I’m a wine club member here and I couldn’t be happier“

“Verre has really upped their game over the last year. The outside patio section now allows dogs, and they have a full bar as well. They’ve also added some menu items - like the braised beef which is our favorite. This is a nice little hidden gem in Courthouse, Arlington! Great vibes!“

“We've had lunch and brunch there, and it was all good.“

“I was lucky enough to get a pre-opening preview of this business tonight. And I was blown away. The place is beautiful, and Megan and Sean are so hospitable and so knowledgeable about wine. I always thought of myself as someone who couldn't tell the difference between acceptable wine and anything better, until Megan poured me a glass of Beaujolais. Amazing.“

“We stopped here on our way through DCA last week and really enjoyed it. The wine selection is amazing and the food was good and reasonably priced. Our server, Rekik made some great recommendations. She is a great server and we look forward to seeing her again on our next trip thru DCA.“

“Great visit for a first timer! Beautiful restaurant, fantastic food and amazing service!“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“The coffee is excellent, best in DC. The food quality is amazing, love the pastries.
The service is disappointing. No one is inadvertently rude, it takes so long to get food orders. Can’t go in the morning. Waited over 20 minutes for a little breakfast sandwich to-go.“

“Due to certain reasons, our store has been targeted with malicious fake reviews by this despicable person.
It has been confirmed that these individuals are not real customers of ours, and the photos they used were not taken in our store.
We have already submitted applications to the platform to resolve this issue and have reported the matter to the police. We know exactly who you are — you are that Uber delivery driver who went berserk because you couldn’t wait for the food due to your own issues.
We have provided your name to the police and filed a formal complaint with Uber. We also have video evidence of you damaging store equipment, along with other supporting proof.
We hope you receive the consequences you deserve as soon as possible.
To our dear customers: please view this situation rationally and objectively. Thank you for your understanding and support.“

“Five stars for what they do alone...proceeds from Stray Cat Cafe and Lost Dog Sandwiches and Pizza next door donated to animal rescue. The menu at Stray Cat is a bit more sophisticated than the sandwiches and pizza next door - reliable comfort food. Pictures of cats adorn the walls. What's not to love here? Good craft beer list too, just like next door.“

“Absolutely excellent place, coffee is top notch and staff is great. Thank you!“

“First time in Arlington, all the way from Annapolis and it was such and amazing vibe, our waitress kelsy was 5 stars took very seriously my GF allergy and was making sure with the kitchen, very knowledgeable of the Menu and she was very Nice. Will definitely go back for Food and hospitality.“

“An absolute gem!! Food was delicious and cooked perfectly. The service was quick and very friendly. You can tell this is a family affair. The kitchen appeared spotless and well run. We came all the way from Baltimore and plan on making this a regular stop. My wife and I split the wedge salad and the 32oz cowboy ribeye. It was perfection.“

“Amazing soup. Great atmosphere, would recommend.“

“Went to Clarendon Circa for Saturday brunch. Lovely morning and we were able to sit on their outside patio. Had the French toast and chicken and waffles. Both were delicious. Service was pleasant, attentive and accommodating. Overall a great experience.“

“Cafe Colline is spectacular. I had a toddler with me, was dressed in an adidas track suit, and wanted real food as we waited for someone working in the area. Most of the customers were much better dressed and without a child. Nothing wrong with this, just painting the picture. The staff could not have been nicer and more professional. We were greeted with open arms, sat immediately, and served with absolute professionalism. My food (the fish) was so good I considered licking the plate. They don’t necessarily have a kid’s menu but offered numerous things to make a toddler. I went with the burger and fries. They complimented this with numerous dipping sauces and made the burger to order. The charge was minimal and fair. I always clean up after him as toddlers can be messy and they insisted on letting them clean up (I did it anyway). Restrooms were spotless and the kitchen area you pass was very clean and well organized. It’s a small spot full of big talent. This will be a regular for us. A must dine.“

“Had a great evening catching up at this amazing Italian spot. Reservations are recommended, but we sat at the bar and had a fantastic time. Will definitely be back to try more of the delicious food. Amazing staff, always smiles, never made us feel rushed and gave us lots of laughs.“

“Amazing breakfast for two!“

“The dinner was only "marred" by the entre trying to be serviced while we were still eating our appetizer. We could not believe that a restaurant of this quality would allow a service to bring out the main course while we were only half way through the appetizer. What does this mean? Well, in the states, it seems as though they are always trying to rush you through the meal to get the table free, but this restaurant does not have waiting lines like bonefish grill or those other type restaurants.“
