Screwtop Wine Bar

Food and drinks were excellent, especially the goat cheese appetizer and the red/white/blue wine flight. The interior of the restaurant feels a little cramped and more like a store, so I recommend the patio if it’s not too hot outside. The hostess was a bit gruff, but our server was fun and knowledgeable. Overall, I recommend giving it a try.

I just hosted a surprise birthday party at Screwtop & the event exceeded my expectations! We had 3 wines, lots of appetizers & everyone enjoyed every sip & bite. The event planner, Wendy created happy birthday placards with my husband’s name & a description of each wine - unexpected, appreciated, & elegant. The staff was extraordinary & very patient. The 10 guests wanted to mingle & did not want to be seated & we held up the service. All the staff were engaging & quickly attended to any special requests.. Thank you Wendy & Screwtop Wine Bar for a perfect celebration!

I had never been to a wine bar before. In fact, I felt a little out of place until the friendly staff made me feel welcome. They all seem to love their jobs and they love to teach you about wine. Wine flights are a great way to enjoy and compare several different wines to see what it is you like and don’t like. They have an extensive wine list and a full kitchen with some unusual flavorful offerings. Sitting at the bar is the most entertaining unless you have a bigger group. For six or more you can reserve one of two tables off to the side of the store which is away from the noise of the bar. (Or outside seating when it’s warmer). We enjoyed flights of Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc. We had a delicious cheese plate, spicy empanadas, savory Tuscan chicken flatbread, olives, almonds and corn nuts. Our waitress told us about our wines and answered all of our questions. She even brought us free samples of their frozen white wine and strawberry icy drink to try. This is a great place to hang out, drink wine, eat good food, and converse with friends. It’s also a wine and cheese store, so you can bring home what you like.

I'm relatively new to Arlington and Screwtop has quickly become my favorite local spot! I frequently stop by for dinner and wine flights and have consistently been impressed with the excellent wine, food and knowledgable staff. I'm also a member of the wine club and cannot recommend it enough for any fellow winos! Each month we receive two high-quality red wines and a cheese for pairing - this is great for anyone who, like me, struggles to pick out wine on their own but wants to be a bit adventurous! Additionally, this past weekend my boyfriend worked with the owner, Wendy, to plan a surprise birthday party and it was such a memorable evening! They hand-selected wines for the flight and customized the entire experience. Thank you to the entire Screwtop team for hosting an excellent event!
