Uvae Kitchen and Wine Bar

"This charming corner wine bar has become a neighborhood destination with special tastings, prix fixe wine dinners for two, and a food menu laden with meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. Ownership aims to soon open a retail spot and tasting room next door called the Fromagerie where patrons can while away the hours among top-notch cheeses." - Eater Staff

"When: Wed-Fri 5-6:30pm, Sat-Sun 3-6:30pm The Deal: $2 Oysters, $2 Shrimp, $5 Glasses of Cava  A long wine list and delicious food make Uvae a good spot for a casual dinner—especially if you get there a little earlier for their Happy Hour. The cozy, close seating and friendly staff gives this Andersonville restaurant the atmosphere of a neighborhood dinner party, where you can knock back $2 oysters and shrimp. When you need a break from seafood, they have $5 glasses of cava to help cleanse your palette." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"At its busiest, this Andersonville wine bar has the atmosphere of a friendly neighborhood supper club with a long wine list, good food, and knowledgeable staff. But most importantly, they also offer a daily Happy Hour with $2 shrimp and Chesapeake Bay oysters that are creamy and mild in flavor. When you need a break from seafood, Uvae has $5 glasses of cava to help cleanse your palette, too." - veda kilaru

"While some wine bars feel stuffy and intimidating, you can go to Uvae without fear of a pop quiz on tannins and spumante at the end of your night. At its busiest, it has the atmosphere of a friendly neighborhood supper club with a long wine list, good food, and a knowledgeable staff. They can help you find the ideal pairing for anything on the menu, which has dishes like buttery short rib wellington, creamy mushroom maltagliati, and spiced carrots on top of a chickpea-sauerkraut puree that’s best finished via the “lick the plate” method. They also offer Happy Hour seven days a week with $2 oysters and $5 cava—but don’t ask us about grape specifics since we left our cheat sheets at home." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
