Kork Wine Bar

Aaron Palermo

After walking around the busy square on our date night, my wife and I were looking for a place with a little less energy and fewer crowds. We decided to take a shot on this quiet bar and were thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was exactly what we needed. Our server, Ethan (who is also the manager), was great and incredibly knowledgeable about their wine selection. On his recommendation, I had "Katie’s fav" and my wife had "Ethan’s fav." Both were very different from each other but were absolutely perfect. We also shared a cheeseboard, which was the ideal light bite since we weren't looking for a large meal. We would highly recommend Kork Wine and Bar and will definitely be back. We're even planning to make this our new Thursday night tradition!

The staff is friendly and great to chat with. Personally, I love to geek out about wine with fellow winos. I had the Italian sandwich. Well only a quarter of it. That thing is huge! And don't be scared to pair it with the "Extra Ball" rosé (of Cab Franc). It'll hold its own. Looking forward to the next visit and exploring more of their impressive wine list.

I had a fantastic time at Kork Wine Bar! The interior design is both relaxing and elegant, creating a lovely ambiance. The food was delicious, and the wine selection was impressive. I particularly enjoyed the Neapolitan-style pizzas, with their thin crusts and chewy sides. The Margherita and Pepperoni pizzas were both excellent. However, the real standout was the S'mores pizza – my first experience with a sweet pizza! It was a delightful surprise and a must-try. Excellent service and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

New lighting at the best wine bar in Georgetown! Absolutely love the new atmosphere; well done Kaitlyn!

Another great experience at Kork! As usual, our servers were wonderful, knowledgeable and fast. Our main server, Eddie was the best! This guy knows wine and was right about all of his recommendations. The restaurant is spotless, the bathrooms are tidy and well maintained, plenty of space for wheelchairs and easy parking. The atmosphere is clean and modern without being sterile. As usual, the food was on point and the cannoli made us smile with each bite! Do yourself a favor and check out Kork!

Here is what you need to know before coming here.... Giant Salads. Best bang for the buck for the quality and portion size. Not just lots of wine options! They also have Mexican Coke Cola from the glass bottle and original hard to find IBC Root Beer in glass bottle with no corn syrup! And the hummas tasted so fresh I literally dipped by pizza in it and it tasted like it was meant for it. You got the bar with TVs playing whatever is the sports games of the day if that is your thing too. Plenty of inside tables so handicap accessible with restaurants for men's and women's that are constantly kept clean. For New Year's Day the service was phenomenal and from order to table was less then 15mins The pizza with Veal Meat on it had the unique blend of wine I could taste in the meat and crust But as I saw everyone else in my party get their salads I realized what you want to order if you want to spend less then $20 with tip and be full and satisfied their salads are easily the best I have ever seen and got to taste with my party of 17 which they accomodated. And the deserts are amazing and worth every dollar... I got the chocolate gelato and as a chocolate lover let me tell you... This chocolate was so legit I wanted to order seven more and overdose 🤣 They also have a projector and wall screen which you can reserve for special events with side doors in the pic behind me that can open and expand for more people too. AND to wrap up this review the water tasted like the most fresh ever in all of Georgetown beyond filtered to perfection and I would literally come back just to hydrate with their water that they serve in fancy glass! :)

First time here & it was a really nice experience. They have beer on draft for non-wine drinkers. It appeared to be full of ladies enjoying a night out.... Sprinkled with a few date-night folks. We got the charcuterie board. Our server was Eddie (like Cousin Eddie, as he introduced himself) and he was absolutely awesome! He explained the cheeses & meats to us. We needed extra bread, but only $1 more, we'll take it. Be prepared for a wait. If it's cold outside, make sure you've got your coat. The inside waiting area is small.

Kork absolutely made my restaurant wedding reception experience. After having dealt with issues with Juliet Italian kitchen, Kork, not only was able to organize and book our wedding reception two weeks before the wedding, they also made the process insanely easy, providing consistent and helpful communication, images of restaurant layout, and even provided wine bottle vases for decoration. The staff was absolutely amazing and made sure everyone’s wine glass was filled and food was consistently warm and put out. All of our guests loved their food and wine selection and consistently praised the staff and location. I know a bunch of them are definitely going to want to come back when they visit us. A Georgetown staple! I could not have asked for a better experience and reception, it is absolutely beautiful and would 10/10 recommend future weddings or larger group gatherings to come here. The prices were beyond fair, especially for the food, service, and booking the entire venue for three hours. I could keep going on and on, but definitely shout out to the staff and Jianna for making everything happen and doing so swiftly and amazingly. Jianna was so professional, kind, and communicative, I knew immediately Kork would be able to make this reception happen. Finally, they let us come in early to decorate, which we are beyond thankful for because I know they did not have to do that, but they did let us. We are definitely coming back every anniversary and as regulars!!! Again, highly recommend if you are having a rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, large gathering, or are just visiting Georgetown, this is the place to go!

Top shelf! Everything for every budget! Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Small bites and pizzas to compliment each wine that are freshly prepared and tasteful. Owner is accessible, sommelier on site. Wine lounge indeed!

This place is absolutely amazing. Plenty of seating. The indoor chairs are very comfy. Service and atmosphere is fantastic. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. We recommend the Moscato if you are into sweet wines. The Charcuterie and bread service is great too.

The Kork 6th Birthday celebration on Saturday 3/7 was amazing!! The music, provided by Mike Dohm, was incredible - I really hope they will have him back soon!! I will be back, no question

Kork is such a hidden gem! Dale, the manager, always provides incredible service, and the bartender is just as amazing — super knowledgeable and friendly. The food is delicious, and they always nail the wine recommendations every single time. My experience here was truly amazing — definitely one of my favorite spots to relax and enjoy a great glass of wine!

Great spot for a casual date night or meet up with friends. Great wine selection with knowledgeable staff. The wood fired pizzas are excellent and the salads are fresh and large enough to share.

We are celebrating their 6th anniversary on Saturday March 7th. The atmosphere is fun and festive, food specials are great and Mike Dohm is the music. He is fantastic and creating such a wonderful vibe without over powering people’s ability to talk. This place is hopping and they have the best most professional staff!!

This wine bar is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind or enjoy meaningful conversation. The wine selection is thoughtfully curated, with something for every palate, and the staff is knowledgeable without being pretentious—they genuinely want to help you find something you’ll love. The small plates and pizzas pair beautifully with the wines and are clearly made with care. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just looking for a cozy place to spend an evening, this spot delivers on every level. I’ll definitely be back!

Ever since the new manager Dale took over this place has really changed for the better. Great wine list, great pizza. I just wish they could expand their (what I am told is an) tiny kitchen. Would love to see an expanded menu, so i can come more often.

Fantastic place, service was on point and very personable, I can't remember his name but he sang along to half the songs so the team there knows who I am talking about! Great ceaser salad and value! The pizza, fig and prochuto, was fantastic as well! :-) We will return! Cheers!

Great place to enjoy a few glasses of wine. The fig and prosciutto pizza is amazing. Feeds 2 easily. 250 bottles of wine to chose from. And a great staff. Enjoyed ourselves.

I visited Kork Wine Bar last night, and everything was fantastic. The wait staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The make your own cheese board exceeded our expectations. This Bar has such an inviting atmosphere, we will definitely be back.

It was a very cute esthetic! I liked the vibe. However our waitress wasn’t very helpful and the food wasn’t that great. The ricotta was too foamy,… texture was weird. The salad wasn’t anything special. And my husband got the pizza which was soggy. Food selection was sort of limited. Limited vegetarian options and no vegan options. They had a super big wine selection. It wasn’t terrible but I know we won’t be going back again. I would recommend as a place to go to drink wine but not for the food. Glad we tried it though!

The ambiance is very nice and the place looks great. Unfortunately, the pizza didn’t meet my expectations. It didn’t seem like true Neapolitan-style pizza or follow VPN guidelines as advertised. A proper Neapolitan pizza should be very light, soft, and airy, with a thin, tender center and a crust that’s crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. This pizza completely lacked that texture. It was dense, undercooked, and perfectly circular, which suggests it wasn’t hand-stretched. The cheese wasn’t good, and the sauce was barely noticeable. The pepperoni was disappointing as well, and the pizza looked very different from the photos. I would suggest updating or removing the advertised pizza pictures to better reflect what is actually served. I might come back for the atmosphere, but probably not for the pizza. I hope they can improve.

Pleasant environment, knowledgeable wait staff. Nice selection of wines, but the food we ordered was oddly served and the pizzas were a joke. The charcuterie plate we ordered had no utensils for serving, other than the place setting of a fork and knife. It's hard to serve mixed nuts with a fork! The two pizzas we ordered arrived cold. The crust was cardboard and in no way cooked in a wood fired oven. Claiming "Napolitano style" was insulting. In no way would I recommend this place.

Went to this place to plan a girls trip over a good glass of wine. We had sat down, were talking, pulled out our phones to share ideas and a waiter, not even OUR waiter passed by and rudely made a comment about having our phones out. Was extremely disrespectful, meanwhile all waitstaff was practically staring the whole time and made us both very uncomfortable. The experience was very rude and unwelcoming except for the hostess (she was very sweet). However, very unprofessional and rude overall, and it ended with waitstaff throwing a phone number at the table as we stood to leave.
