42 Best Wine Bars near Bothell

“I've been going to Amaro for years and it's consistently a solid choice. The ambience is perfect for gathering with friends or a date as it's easy to have a conservation without having to compete with loud music or tables that are too close together. The food prepared is well with quality ingredients and desserts are made in house. If you enjoy the traditional Italian preparation of calamari, this is one of the best renditions I've had outside of Italy. It's a starter, but I've occasionally ordered a double as an entree. Amaro is very accommodating with substitutions. Last night my friend didn't want risotto with her pollo arrosto, so they gave her a vegetable medley instead and it turned out beautifully. For a dinner house of this type, pricing is quite reasonable. The service is attentive and sincere, but often a little disjointed. They serve Caffe Vita, which is my favorite local roaster“

“Friendly staff and delicious food! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“My partner and I came in for our first ever Magic: The Gathering pre release event (beginner’s night) and had a really fun time! The owner Elijah has curated a super chill vibe and atmosphere, and one that is very welcoming and inclusive. I will definitely be coming back for future events!

Also a great selection of beer and wine!“

“Terrific wine bar. Didn’t try the food though the wine was delicious and so I have no doubt the food would be too - came back here 2 nights in a row because I wanted to try some other wines in the menu. The owners also stayed and kindly chatted with me while I finished my wine after closing which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely return on my next visit!“

“There are places in this world that find you rather than the other way around. I have sat in the grand dining rooms of Florence. I have lingered over Barolo in the hill towns of Piedmont. I have smoked aged Cubans on terraces overlooking the Adriatic while the sun took its time disappearing. I know what the real thing feels like.

And yet here I was, a man who has circled this particular block in Kirkland a thousand times behind the wheel of something fast, never once stopping. Downtown Kirkland has a reputation among those of us who know it well. Restaurants arrive with great fanfare, burn bright for a season, and vanish like smoke from a cigar you wish you had savored more slowly. I had written this neighborhood off without ever giving Rimini the courtesy of a glance.

Then one evening, alone, family abroad, I found myself searching for something worth dressing for. Waze delivered me, almost conspiratorially, to a door I had passed in ignorance more times than I care to admit. Fifty feet from my cigar lounge. Walking distance from my favorite Mexican table. There it was. Waiting.

I walked in and the room rearranged something inside me.

The staff moves through the dining room speaking Italian with the easy confidence of people who were born into it. The beautiful ones condescend to English when necessary and do so graciously. The candles are not decorative. The wine list is not a gesture. It is a serious document assembled by someone who has actually been to the vineyards, who understands that a great Italian meal is not complete without a bottle that has its own story to tell.

It took me immediately back to Firenze and Crossroads in their prime, twenty years ago, before success made them comfortable and comfort made them ordinary. Rimini carries that same electricity. That same sense that you are somewhere that matters, that the kitchen takes it personally, that the room itself has ambition.

I dined solo and felt like a king.

This is not a restaurant for the timid or the indifferent. This is a room built for people who have tasted life at its most generous and still lean forward when the next glass arrives. Brothers and sisters, I have been around this world more than once. I know the real thing when it sits across from me.

Rimini is the real thing. Do not make the mistake I made. Walk through that door.“

“We were thrilled with everything about this new restaurant. LOVED the food selections, wine was divine and service impeccable. Highly recommend!“

“The food is always very good. We come here every time we’re in town to visit our husky at UW. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A bit pricey.“

“Always have a great meal here! The special tonight was a chorizo cioppino with king crab. So good!“

“If you only hit one spot in Seattle: go here. The pelmeni will send you to heaven and the owner is warm and welcoming. Turgenev vibes.“

“We LOVE McQueen!!! Fantastic bubbles, awesome atmosphere and super knowledegable!! Thanks for always giving us the BEST time, see you this Saturday!!!“

“I was in town for a special event, I haven't been here before and was amazed with every aspect of my experience. our server Charles was utterly fabulous. he was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and prompt. he made it feel like we were old friends. the steaks were perfectly cooked. I am 4 and 1/2 years sober, and to go out and enjoy an exquisite meal and only drink water can be a drag, but you all had an amazing selection of mocktails, my partners and I enjoyed immensely. I took the time to thank Charles for everything and got to meet Justin, letting him know how wonderful everything was. this will definitely be a regular stop anytime I visit.“

“Kristina was amazing! She made our visit so much fun and was super friendly and easy to talk to. She was knowledgeable about all the wines and made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming.

She also helped us sign up for the wine club and made the process really easy. She took the time to explain the membership benefits, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel pressured. You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure her guests have a great experience.

We're so glad we got to meet her and will definitely be back. Thanks, Kristina, for such a great visit!

Highly recommend Patterson Cellars. ✨“

“Just great people working here and show up! The regulars have been coming here for years! stop by and have a blast! I've been coming here for a very long time. just not on a regular basis!“

“The Oklahoma smash burger here was really good. The double was satisfying and there was a nice balance between lacy crispy edges and the juicy patty, although we did find it to be a tad salty. The tater tots were super crispy (very satisfying!) and much better than the fries, which were a little limp, although still well seasoned. Definitely worth a stop, I'll be back!“

“Lovely little spot with a very nice owner who knows her stuff. I'm not a bubbles guy but I wanted to check it out and really enjoyed it. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I went for the fixed menu with wine pairing. We have never felt so welcomed in a restaurant. The greeting and the farewell were both very nicely done. Stunningly delicious, original and creative food. The vibe was excellent. Lots of very nice touches. A truly superb experience. I'm deliberately not saying too much nor adding too many photos, because I don't want to be a spoiler.“

“amazing views, even more amazing food! stayed warm and toasty with ceiling heaters, and torches. did I say the food was amazing? it was!!!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️“

“Loved, loved, LOVED this place! The gentleman and lady that served us were both spectacular and very good and making there rounds between what was a packed room. I really enjoyed getting to converse with both through out our visit. The wine was amazing as we tasted various whites and reds. Not sure what the deal was with puppies being in there with other customers but loved the fur babies too! If your a social butterfly I think you’ll love this atmosphere, so get over to Market Vineyards!“

“Gr8 place for music and fun“

“Macarons are a favorite food of mine. I’ve tried many macarons from many places. Those other macarons do not hold a candle to Lady Yum’s. Their macarons are actually on my top 10 list of favorite foods of all time. They make my soul happy. My husband picks me up some every time he travels to Seattle and although I miss him when he travels…I’m also kinda happy when he goes because he gets me treats from there.“

“I visited on recommendation from a friend who knows I'd like the place and I must say, I had an absolutely loved the place! Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and the place feels very friendly with lots of nice art and fun stickers all over the place. As a furry from Salt Lake City Utah, I would absolutely visit again on another visit. You guys nailed it!“

“My husband and I stopped by for lunch this week. We happened to be there over happy hour and ordered several delicious appetizers from that menu as well as from the lunch menu. Our server, Danielle, was attentive and very helpful in navigating some dietary preferences. I plan to bring my out of town guests here in the future!“

“Great food and wine. Wait staff ok.“

“We had an amazing time on our tour and tasting with Michael! It was my first wine tour. His knowledge was fascinating, and we were shipped 2 bottles of compliments of my company, Precoa. Thank you Michael. We will enjoy and share with friends here in Chicago! We will place another order. Blessings.“

“Atendimento e acolhimento exemplar! Gastronomia deliciosa! Música ao vivo aconchegante! Lugar que inspira a paz, tranquilidade e satisfação!“

“Our wine pourer was epic. She knew all the things. The wine was solid. I will be going back.“

“Great service and very good food. Lovely outdoor patio.“

“My girls took me to Cafe Veloce for my birthday and it was amazing! Service was great and the food was superb. I had the Dungeons pasta, yummy!!! It was my first time dinning at Cafe Veloce and will not be my last. Highly recommended.“

“Fun place but very very noisy ! Hard to hear. Food was excellent. I had their fall regular pot pie & arugula salad, excellent with hazelnuts. Pot pie was delicious but very black peppery! Also had ravioli…. Reportedly excellent.“

“Very Yummy!!! so many wonderful flavors to choose from.“

“Been here many times, always fun !!!“

“10/10 would recommend. Off the beaten path, Adrian and team were a delight. You can see that they truly take pride in what they do. Friendly, queer friendly, quality, and vibes are a few of the many wonderful ways I would describe this place. Fantastic meal and drinks“

“An excellent experience overall. I needed a place to land for a few hours, and they were incredibly accommodating and kind; they made me feel genuinely welcome to stay. It’s a comfortable space with free Wi-Fi, clean facilities, and a calm, safe atmosphere, which I really appreciated.

The wine tasting itself is on the expensive side, and it was a bit frustrating that the tasting fee can’t be applied toward a bottle purchase (that’s industry standard practice in Canada). That said, the hospitality more than made up for it. The atmosphere really comes alive later in the day with live music, and it’s great that they offer food as well. The food overall is overpriced for what’s offered, but the macarons are excellent; delicious and very reasonably priced.

I did originally choose Chelan Ridge because of their bubble seating option on the 'patio', and was very excited to try it out. But when I saw that it faced the grimy parking lot, those dreams were instantly dashed. If they could do it in the back or even a neat warm spot inside, it would make all the difference.

Service was outstanding. My server was the winery owner’s granddaughter, and she truly went above and beyond. She was warm, attentive, and professional, and she represented the winery beautifully; her grandparents should be incredibly proud.
Even with a few pricing quirks, this is a place I’d happily return to for the atmosphere, kindness, and genuinely excellent service.“

“Little known gem very worthwhile checking out. Super tasty menu items. Be sure to ask for a glass of their exclusive, custom-label Pancho Villa Cab (by Barrage Cellars).“

“Our new go to place. Fantastic pies savory or sweet (the crust is homemade /!; just so flakey) and the wine is yummy too. It’s nice to be able to choice wine, beer or spirits.“

“EDIT*** Manager reached out and discussed the issues. I am happy with the resolution. I want to preface this review by stating we paid close to $700 a night and stayed in a king suite with courtyard view. We have stayed at many luxury boutique hotels in the pnw and this has not been our favorite by a long shot. The first night we had dinner at the Fireside lounge. Great atmosphere but as soon as we ordered our drinks with dinner the waitress asked us for our card to hold on file. We felt it was a little odd as we have never been asked for a card up front at any restaurant we have ever eaten at. The beds and pillows were very stiff. The 2 nights we stayed there we woke up sore and not well rested as well as paying extra for the courtyard view which was nice but it was rather noisy. We are 39 and are younger with kids but could hear everything outside and in the hall. The second day we went to the hot tub but was not told they do not have changing rooms avail to those that are not getting a treatment. I had to put my clothes and shoes outside in the rain and my husband couldn't use the sauna because he needed to walk our clothes back to the room. The person at the desk stated lockers were only for guests with treatments. This would have been nice to know. We were not impressed with this boutique hotel. The price was high and the treatment from the staff made us feel not welcome. My husband was asked by the hotel staff if we were even guests when he went to the hot tub! I am just completely in shock comparing to other places we have stayed and paying close to $1500 the rooms are about double what they should be.“

“We recently held a Corks & Canvas event at the Michael Florentino tasting room in Sodo. What an amazing venue! The wine was excellent, the service superb, and the tasting room was cute and comfortable. As the organizer of this event, it was such a please to work with Julie, Darcy, and everyone else on the team that took care of our group of 15 people. All I had to do was show up and take credit for organizing such a great event! Can’t wait to visit again!“

“Very nice good wine great service!“

“The Shop Agora is Seattle's very best restaurant. Nikos' food and wine selection is a hidden gem - unbelievably more delicious than the approachable price tag would suggest! But the priceless part is Nikos' thoughtful entertainment. He curates the small restaurant's crowd each evening, from a collection of happenstance strangers to neighbors who've raised a glass together. Tip well. Nikos and his team earn it every time.“

“Had an great experience at Devine Wines & Wine Bar in Mill Creek! The staff was friendly and really knew their wines—they gave great recommendations that were spot on.

The selection is impressive, whether you’re into reds, whites, or just looking to try something new. You can tell they care about quality and creating a great experience for their customers.

If you're anywhere near Mill Creek and enjoy a good glass of wine, I definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Attended an event on 6/28 catered by Barking Frog. Their set-up is clean and professional looking (you WANT their food truck in your parking lot); their staff is courteous and friendly; they offered a diverse and interesting menu; and our plates were prepared quickly. Oh, the food... top notch! I had the turkey club, my daughter had the mac & cheese... both with their crispy, delicious french fries. AMAZING!“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend the escargot highly enough. The salmon was the best I’ve had in a long time.“
