50 Best Wine Bars near Kirkland

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Wow! I’m very impressed with Rimini. We made a reservation with a note that we were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff made it feel like such a special night.

We enjoyed the view from the table, the decor, the accordion music, the delicious drinks and food - all of it. I’ll be back for another special occasion or if I’m in the mood for some Italian food in Kirkland :)“

“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.“

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

“This place is a vibe. Properly is like stepping into a Parisian wine bar. Fantastic wine selection, direct for small producers. Some amazing grower champagnes. Very fine cheeses. Not overly expensive. Great, knowledgeable service, what's not to like?“

“We look forward to a return to normal so we can enjoy this place more!“

“My husband and I love this neighborhood wine shop. The selection of wine is spectacular and the food is top notch. Are you planning a date night? This is the spot! Are you out on a girls night? This is the spot! Need a break to relax? This is the spot! Its a beautifully curated space with thoughtful selection. Can drink wine in store or buy a bottle to drink at home. Plus the owners delightful.“

“10/10!! I was looking for a cozy laid back wine bar I could grab a bottle and read, and had the best time browsing their diverse selection of bottles and their fun rotating BTG menu! They have some great snacks, it was so comfy and welcoming, and Danielle had awesome wine recs and was so personable to everyone who came in!“

“We Rise Wines is the wine bar Seattle has been asking for.

From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by stunning work from local artists, warm energy, and a curated selection of Black-owned and women-owned wines and beers (shoutout to Seattle’s own Métier Brewing). Owner Jamila Conley is a consummate host who has built something truly special here: a space where culture, community, and great wine coexist beautifully.

The events calendar alone is worth following. I’ve done drag bingo and Geeks Who Drink, and every time I leave with new friends and great memories. The tasty bites hit the spot, and whether you’re catching up with old friends or meeting new ones, this is the place for it.

I haven’t even gotten to the wine club or tastings yet, which tells you how much there already is to love. We Rise is more than a wine bar. It’s an oasis.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Neb has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with some really tasty dishes.

We had date night here and enjoyed a few appetizers, drinks and entrees.

Drinks: This is a negroni joint. While not my personal favorite cocktail they have a handful of gin-less variants and we shared a flight of three, while not a convert to the negroni, I'll definitely be more open-minded! Delicious!

Appetizers: This was the weakest portion of the meal. Tasty enough and reasonably priced, but felt they could've used a little more seasoning.

Pastas: These were the star of the show. Perfectly seasoned (despite some reviews mentioning too much salt), rich without being heavy, and lovely fresh texture.

Dessert is somewhat limited, take it or leave it!

Overall, great value for flavor! I would like to see more churn in their menu items because while we could see going back for another visit, after two trips you'll have exhausted most of the menu options.“

“Young crowd. Very popular place. Noisy. We stood out with our white hair, but were treated so nicely we felt quite at home. The idea seems to be that you drink a lot and eat a little. But it's possible to eat a lot and drink a little. We split a salad. My husband had a Mac n cheese, and I had a brisket ragout. We then split the posset dessert. I had a glass of wine and my husband had a non-alcoholic beer. All of the food was delicious, and so was my wine. The bill (including tax but not tip) came to $115. Recommend!“

“Valentina's Wine Bar is the perfect addition to downtown Bellevue. Nestled right on Main Street, it's been beautifully appointed and is the perfect spot to pop in for a glass of wine (or a pint of beer) and light bites. Her wine list is extensive and impressive -- think old world classics like Barolo, Chablis, and champagne with thoughtful local additions. We tried the flatbreads and were really impressed by those, too (ate them too quickly to snag a picture!). Valentina was serving when we went there and she's warm, knowledgeable, and clearly deeply passionate about good wines. We will definitely be back here!“

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

“Evelyn seated us by the fireplace. She was extremely attentive and engaging. She repeatedly returned to our table to fill our glasses and touch back on conversations. We had a warm and welcoming experience. I did not rate food as we just did a wine tasting this time.“

“Fantastic wine selection paired with lovely charcuterie options. Love going there to see Friday evening music, especially when Chris Stevens is playing!“

“BFV is a fun place. The wine is good, and the waiters know what they are doing. What’s not to like? 😀“

“My girlfriend and I went to Brown Family Vineyards for the first time recently (even though lived nearby for a bit), and we’re so glad we finally made it in.

On our first visit, we were helped by Josh. It was a slower afternoon, so we got to chat and really enjoy the experience. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and made everything feel relaxed and fun. We tried a wide variety of wines and even sampled some of their whiskeys…and we loved them so much that we bought several bottles to take home as well as a fun vanilla whiskey. If I’m being honest they didn’t last long haha

We enjoyed the experience so much that we signed up for the wine club (and didn’t regret it the next day 😉)

A couple of weeks later, we came back and were helped by primarily Brandon. Someone named Evie (sp?) was also there and I believe.. Seth? Who was off the clock but also brought amazing energy. Everyone was so genuinely nice and just honest and thoughtful about the wines and happy to share a bit about the vineyard’s background and philosophy around generosity and hospitality which I also loved learning about.

Overall, this has quickly become one of our favorite spots. Great wine, fun whiskey, and genuinely kind people who make you want to come back.

TL;DR: Bought multiple bottles (they disappeared fast), joined the wine club, fell in love with a special vanilla whiskey, and had nothing but great experiences with the staff. Highly recommend!“

“So much fun and so knowledgeable! You can get a Champagne flight, a sparking wine flight, and or a wine flight. The champagne and wine was delicious, and I really appreciated the knowledge they shared. The music is also lots of fun and the place is a comfy place to hang out.“

“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!“

“I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste Washington wine and cozy place.

This place is bit distant from the center of Capitol Hill that it was quiet, which I enjoyed very much.

Me and my company tried flights; tasted 4 different wines. The manager explained every bottle of wine nice and in detail. Overall, it was a great experience.“

“An absolute gem in Seattle. Ben treated us like family. Extensive wine list of amazing area wines and a fantastic menu of snacks to accompany the wines. Great value and a relaxed atmosphere. A must do!!!!“

“One of the most unique wine bars in Seattle. If you want something different this is the place to go. Phenomenal selection of Italian wines that you could probably only find here.Incredibly knowledgeable staff was incredibly friendly and stepped through every wine they served.Definitely take your wine loving friends here.“

“We loved the frozen drinks! The vibe was chill, the staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was tasty. We will be back!“

“One of the only wineries I’ve been to that I liked ALL five of the wines I tried! Amazing atmosphere and food too! Will definitely be wine clubbing here once Covid restrictions for guest tastings are lifted! Loved it here!“

“Great food and wine. Wait staff ok.“

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

“This restaurant is for the rebels, the rockers, the rule-breakers hankering to order illegal cheese. People who are aren’t afraid of BUTTER, FAT, RICH goodness. No white tablecloths or fussy service will be found here. You are here to eat. And the food is great.“

“Incredibly great wine bar, MTG store, and boardgame hub. I attended a pre release for the TMNT set and was greeted with a paired mini-glass of wine and a slice of pizza. Really pleasant staff and a clean environment. Big fan, and I will def be back.“

“Took my parents to dinner at DeLille Restaurant and all 4 of us had a great experience. For starters, the ambience is a cool mix of 'winery' and 'restaurant' and even though the space is large, is was surprisingly easy for the 4 of us to have a conversation without yelling! (Big win with older folks). The service staff was all outstanding and very engaging. The wine was (of course) excellent. The food....was divine!
We ordered several items and shared them all:
Brussel sprouts - we all agreed we would go back just based on those alone!
Caesar salads - perfect dressing
Steak Frites - maybe the best fries ever and the steak was delicious
Beef Tenderloin and Pork Tenderloin entrees- each had perfect sauce (are you seeing a trend? :-) and the accompanying sides were all great too.

100% recommend and we will definitely go back!“

“The best macaroons I have ever tasted #bestofseattle“

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋“

“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.“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“We were welcomed by the friendly staff upon entering the restaurant. The person who brought us water and bread was personable and prompt. Christopher, our waiter, was very attentive and informative. The food was delicious. My steak was moist and tender, cooked to perfection. Capital Grille always provides excellent care and quality to its patrons.“

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

“The servers were all wonderful, very attentive & helpful. If you park in the garage, mention that to the greeter when you arrive. It's a popular place so it gets crowded & a bit loud --that's the only negative from my POV.“

“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.“

“This was a nice place. Probably wouldn't pick it myself, but met some friends here. The food menu was weirdly put together but I got the chowder in a bread bowl, my wife got a burger and fries. Burger and fries was ok nothing special really. My chowder was cold, and our friends chowder was as well, they sent them both back. The drinks were good. If I go back it would probably be just for drinks.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Have been wanting to come here for a while and finally came by for a pre-work coffee. The barista made my espresso perfectly and was great to chat with. The vibes in here are spectacular, not too loud, free Wi-Fi, and I love the upstairs seating area!

There weren’t many food options left but I think I just visited too late in the day!

Will definitely be back here very soon.“

“Dropped in for breakfast on a grey morning.

Friendly service and great food - we shared the breakfast burrito with avocado and bacon between two of us and it was plenty! The dipping sauce was great.

Coffee was excellent - really nice caramel roast.

I will say it felt very expensive - $38 for two coffees, one burrito with tip. Likely a one-off treat for this reason!“

“Great place. Went for a date with my husband and was very impressed. This place is a hidden gem! Easily got a reservation on a week night and I thought the food was very comparable to other higher end restaurants like Archipelago. I am pregnant and they easily made delicious substitutions and were very intentional about making sure I ate the right one. Staff was personable and warm. Got some cute little bouquets too from chef’s mom’s garden.“

“If you can snag a reservation here, do it — but honestly, even if you can’t, they hold a few tables each night for walk-ins, and it’s so worth the wait. The Pink Door is one of those rare places that’s somehow both trendy and timeless. Every corner feels thoughtfully curated — chic, eclectic, and a little bit artsy — and when the live music starts, it’s pure magic. We were lucky enough to be seated in the back dining room overlooking the Ferris wheel and the Salish Sea, and the view alone could’ve made the night. But then came the food — and wow. From the appetizers to the pappardelle pasta and rabbit (plus alllll the bread), everything was beyond delicious. Huge shoutout to our server, Jeannie, who was amazing — warm, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. We left already planning our next visit. This place is beautiful, delicious, and full of charm. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The best Italian food in Seattle. The focaccia is probably the best bread I’ve ever had. The heirloom tomato and nectarine marinara is a revelation. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Incredible place to get a drink and a bite to eat. Friendly staff and amazing service. The atmosphere is cozy and enjoyable for chatting, board games or even a casual date. The surrounding stores are also amazing to check out after a few drinks. 10/10 would recommend.“

“We found this spot WAY TOO LATE! We’re moving to Texas and finding this gem so late in living on the Eastside might be our biggest regret! We’ve been 3X in as many weeks! Service is great. Food is delish as are the drinks and I love the small place vibe. If you’re wanting a local place that will become your go-to…YES!“
