"The refreshed outdoor area has been reimagined as a pink-and-white wine garden accented with glowing Japanese lanterns and lush greenery, serving a seasonal rosé-focused drink menu (including frosé and frozen cocktails) alongside summer bites such as crab ricotta fritters and housemade gravlax with seeded focaccia, and it may host pop-ups from local hot-dog-and-soft-serve operators this season." - Emily Venezky
"Wine bar with early happy hour specials on Tuesdays following the snow day." - Tierney Plumb
"Election results will be playing via projector in the restaurant’s second floor, with specials including a cheese plate ($2.70), a All-American wine flight ($20.24), and a fried chicken and champagne pairing ($47) featuring four pieces of fried chicken and two glasses of sparkling wine." - Kalina Newman
"Cork Wine Bar has consolidated its operations into a two-story market space at 14th and S Streets NW, though its focus on promoting Old World wines from across Europe remains unchanged. There’s a wide choice of wines by the glass, starting at around $10. Dinner includes both hot and cold plates designed to pair with the wine list." - Emily Venezky
"The then-U.S. senator of California hosted a 2019 holiday party for her staffers at the beloved D.C. wine bar, which famously filed an unfair competition lawsuit against the Trump hotel two years earlier. Cork’s co-owner Khalid Pitts, who goes way back with Harris, tells Washingtonian she’s well-versed in varietals from her native state and has “a great appreciation for [our] Old World wines as well.”" - Tierney Plumb
