My Top 8 DC Spots to Drink Wine

Happy Wine Down Wednesday and Happy May 1st! I can't believe April has already come and gone! Life seems to be moving at an even faster pace than usual and I think we can all agree that when we hit the middle of the week, a full glass of wine sounds pretty delightful. Pour yourself a glass and check out my top 8 DC spots to drink wine.

Barcelona Wine Bar:

This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants! This DC social pad is the hottest spot to be at. Barcelona has some of the tastiest tapas, best wines and coolest atmosphere. You can either wine inside, outside or at the bar, but no matter where you decide to sit, I can ensure you'll be happy. Mondays may be one of my favorite nights to go because they offer 1/2 priced bottles of wine. What can be better than that?? It's time to clear your Monday night and start the week off right sipping on a glass that fits your fancy.

Primrose:

Looking for a quant, chic spot with a splash of pizazz? Primrose certainly checks all the boxes. This French inspired wine bar offers wine that is not only raw, but untouched coming directly from the field to the cellar to your glass. With that being said, sit back, relax and enjoy a bottle in this turquoise, delicately lit feathery wonderland.

Maxwell D.C.:

"Not your typical buttoned up wine bar" - Wine Enthusiast. This Shaw neighborhood bar is calling your name. With it's intimate, and chill vibe, this hole in the wall will have you ordering up a glass or 2 or 3!

ENO Wine Bar:

This traditional wine bar is located on Pennsylvania avenue in Georgetown. This two-story wine bar is a great spot to enjoy a delicious cheese board and glass of wine after a full day of shopping or afternoon roaming around Georgetown. If you're unsure of what wine to order up, don't fret. ENO has a great flight selection to choose from which can help narrow down your search and aid in finding the perfect glass.

Pembroke:

This charming, instagramable restaurant is new to town and making a grand first impression. Pembroke opened earlier this year and has easily become one of my favorite spots! Their bright, elegant decor combined with floor to ceiling windows give off an abundance of natural light making it a splendid environment to sip on a glass of white, red or rose.

Little Pearl:

No grit, no pearl. This adorable vintage setting is a great place to enjoy a glass or bottle. This daytime coffee house transforms into a sweet wine bar by night. Choose to enjoy a bottle on their patio, or glassed greenroom while you munch on some yummy lite bites.

Fig and Olive:

Don't let the figs or olives fool you. City Center is home to this sophisticated, French and Mediterranean gem. Fig and Olive is a lovely restaurant that will have you truly enjoying every moment. Sip on some of their top recommended Mediterranean wines at dinner or join them for their Aperitivo Happy Hour held everyday 4:00pm-7:00pm at the bar or lounge area.

Flight Wine Bar:

This retro wine bar is a fun and funky hangout! Grab a seat at the bar and have ball browsing through their robust wine list consisting of over 600 wines in various formats to choose from. This cozy and intimate destination can be found in the bustling neighborhood of Chinatown and is waiting for you to wine down.

Thank you all for reading and I hope the rest of your week is great while you work nine to wine. Cheers!
