33 Best Wine Bars near Mclean

“Whether you want a fine dining experience or are feeling a cozy bar scene, NG is the place to go. Chef Guas is usually in the kitchen plating up his creative menu. If you are lucky, you will see his beautiful wife, Simone, and local McLean peeps dining or drinking on any given night. The burger, the Milanese, and the specials are always great.“

“I stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned, much thanks to the incredible service from the bartender, Adrienne. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel welcome with a genuine smile and easygoing conversation.

What stood out most was her pleasant demeanor—friendly without being overbearing, and always approachable. It’s clear she enjoys what she does, and that energy adds so much to the atmosphere. I was unsure of what to order and asked her to surprise me with a drink made with rum and she did not disappoint. Adrienne handled the bar effortlessly and I will be back!“

“I was in Tyson for work at the mall and decided to stop by 52. Hands down, the best filet mignon I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor.
Do not skip the mashed potatoes — absolutely the best I’ve ever had. 10/10.
The service at the bar was outstanding. Professional, attentive, and welcoming.
I’ll be back every time I’m in Tyson. Highly recommend.“

“The experience was definitely worth mentioning. We had the pleasure of hosting my husbands birthday dinner/ couples date night addition at this place and we scored the private room for small parties. Boy! We are impressed. Annie the coordinator was so flexible and so informative with myself and my husband and made the planing process so smooth. When we entered the place, valet parking was so easy! This was a Saturday evening and it felt too easy. The front staff set the tone and the ambience created a picture for a wonderful evening. We entered a fully set private room 30 min prior to our guest arrival time. Wow!!!! Lourdes and Gary were so accommodating! Lourdes is one to remember because she really made the experience grand. Her smile and her patience with a party of 16 really did show up and shine on Saturday. The food came out so beautifully made, timely and was very appetizing. We will be back! We will talk about this place to others.

Lourdes gave us an entire Photoshoot at the duration of our event. Never rushed us!!! That is stellar service!!!!

Thank you for making this experience so amazing for our guest. ❤️“

“Today my husband and I had the opportunity to dine at Fleming. The staff was AMAZING! Matt, the manager was on top of every request, need, and want. As soon as anyone in the restaurant needed anything, we witnessed him assisting the service staff to make sure that it was done immediately. He is the type of manager that people dream of! Wish he were on my team. Luis was our server and was great! He was on top of our every need, was attentive, and easily on of the best servers I've ever had. To round out the team, Juan was behind Luis with any additional support that we needed. Quiet professional with great service; Quick, fast, and in a hurry. The ambiance of the restaurant is hard to find in DC. It was quiet enough for a one on one conversation, but energetic enough to make sure that we were not bored. The food was top notch! My stomach hurts because I should have tapped out 15 minutes ago but the food was too good to stop. I'd recommend the Leviathan wine and tomahawk steak. We are big eaters and could not finish our salads and soup, steak, or desserts! My husband highly recommends the French onion soup, Mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. Overall the service, ambiance, food, and staff were wayyyyyy more than we expected. We look forward to patronizing this location again. I wish I had pics, but we ate too fast.“

“We had a blast despite the chill today. Looking forward to coming back when it is just slightly warmer. My only complaint would be why the heaters weren't turned on by the playground today, a lot of us parents were freezing.“

“Good place to go with friends.“

“I rarely write reviews for restaurants however my experience at LBB last night was 5 stars on all accounts. The ambience and food were great. The service at all levels, hostess, management, and waiter were all pleasant and extremely helpful. It’s not a cheap dinner, but a great place for a date night or a little treat.“

“Last week we enjoyed dinner with Edgar Allen Poe. Okay, so maybe not the man himself- but about as close as I could imagine the experience to be. Dark, decadent, and full of surprise. We got to try their seasonal Poe themed menu, and it’s not just dinner- it nears theatre on a plate.“

“The Wine House is like our “cheers“, and Michael and Dinah and many of the staff always treat us so warmly and make us feel at home! The food is always fabulous but especially wonderful last night! We were celebrating Dave's birthday and they made us spill very special! Thanks so much! “

“Great beers and delicious locally sourced foods“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

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

“My wife was craving Thai food for her 45th birthday and we were wowed by the food. The vegetable fried rice was my favorite, but my son loved the chicken satay and wonton soup, and you can never go wrong with panang chicken. Will definitely be coming back for more!“

“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“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I’m new to the Arlington area and have been searching for a wine bar for quite some time. That search ended recently, as I came across Verre.

I was warmly greeted and promptly presented with a menu despite a busy evening. I opted for a charcuterie board paired with the boom boom shrimp.

I was impressed with Lilly’s expertise, as she guided me through several wine recommendations, leading me to try the vino verde.

The lemon lime and green apple notes coupled with some of the best prosciutto assortment I’ve had, made me think I was on the coast of northern Portugal even in the dead of winter.

Highly recommend this place!“

“Nice wine pair with mussels. Reasonable pricing.“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“Great atmosphere & customer service! ❤️“

“Great tasting food with ample portion sizes! 😋 Truly impressed by the quality! Fun atmosphere and friendly staff. 🌞 Bonus: All Day Breakfast! 🤤🍳 Also, 50% off for furloughed govt workers with Govt ID during the shutdown! 🙏🏻😊“

“I had the most wonderful dining experience at La Fromagerie! Everything was delicious and the service was great! I began with champagne and foie gras. Next, I had the bouillabaisse; then, cheese course (a double or triple cream). I finished the meal with a chocolate pot de crème. I can’t wait until my next visit!“

“I had an excellent experience and selection of cocktails at MBV.

I made a reservation for 2 at 9 PM on Saturday night, and a resi has been hard to come by for weeks. Rest assured, it’s worth it and limited due to the space within - it’s small and intimate which I prefer.

I had the “Am I the Drama” and am literally trying to call back to get the ingredients bc I want to replicate this at my home bar.

Drinks range from $18-24 however I found the pours leaning toward the generous side, cocktail orders receive a sidecart from any shaker-excess (something Idk why isn’t more common).

My friend ordered the house martini and it was excellent. No notes. Get your booty in a seat and go have one!

Lastly, the dessert. The Profiteroles have a special place in my heart/mind/body/soul. Mother of God, MBV did their big one with this dessert. I want to go with more friends just bc everyone should experience this dessert.

From front-to-BOH, I was amazed and impressed by MBV - you will see me back. It’s my pleasure to be writing this review.

Until next time!“

“It is finally nice to eat a meal the marries spices from different continents together to create/perfect comfort foods. Phenomenal.... A party in your mouth!!!“

“Simply the best hotel I ever stayed“

“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 had our wedding afterparty here in the spring and it was amazing. Chas, the owner, was super responsive and welcoming and made sure we had the best time. Drinks were great, vibes were awesome. Highly recommend for your events - or just pop by if you’re in the neighborhood!“

“if you ever have a chance to go to the vines Foggy Bottom then do so! it is a lovely environment it's laid back the staff is very friendly and informative. they have a delicious assortment of wines. the food is also very good too. they don't rush you after you finish eating you can sit there and chit chat with your family and friends and drink different types of wine they have a wonderful menu.

“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 selection of (good) wines, excellent customer service. Dustin is very friendly and attentive to his customers. Location is accessible. Nice little spot to get away from the big crowds and noise to have a gathering of close friends to hangout with. Definitely recommend it.“
