"Here’s a review you can post for Bar á Vins: ⸻ My Friday Favorite 🍷✨ I’ve waited to write this review until I got a solid feel for the place and I can confidently say Bar á Vins has become my official Friday afternoon spot to unwind and ease into the weekend. The atmosphere is chill, the service is consistently excellent, and there’s always some smooth hip-hop playing in the background just enough to get your toe tapping without overwhelming the vibe. It’s the kind of place that feels both elevated and easygoing. They have a wide and thoughtful selection of wines, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable without being pretentious. They’re great at making recommendations and will even let you sample a bottle if it’s already open. Whether you’re stopping in for a glass and a snack or settling in for a few pours with friends, this place nails it. I can’t rave about it enough if you’re looking for a laid-back wine bar with great energy, this is your spot."

"Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience at Bar a Vins this evening. We usually have a great time here, love their wine and food, and find their staff knowledgeable and friendly. Our group brought in an outside dessert and we were treated extremely rudely by their general manager, Harry, when he informed us that this was against policy. We would have gladly put away our dessert or paid a cutting fee but weren’t given the opportunity. We were met with conflicting information from staff and hostility and passive aggressive reactions from their GM. I’m shocked to have spoken to in this way at a place where I’ve enjoyed many nights and purchased many expensive bottles of wine."

"This was one of the most upsetting hospitality experiences I’ve had, especially from a place that many in our group have frequented. Our group of 6 decided on celebrating a holiday together with a night at Bar a Vin. After attending a birthday celebration here previously and seeing outside food advertised on their social media, I opted to bring in a small dessert for our group, visible to the staff and management when we were seated. We ordered several bottles of wine (intended to order more over the course of the evening) and were enjoying our time when I decided to cut and plate our dessert. At that point, the GM (Harry) abruptly intervened regarding an outside food policy that we were obviously unaware of, threw his hands in the air and walked away from our table. To be clear, I completely understand and respect the policy. I would've NEVER brought in the dessert, let alone cut it at the table if I knew it was going to be an issue. What was devastating was the way this was handled. There was no conversation, no warmth, and no attempt to find a solution. No option to discard the plates, pay a cutting fee, or resolve the situation in any reasonable way. We were simply told the policy and left at our table feeling uncomfortable and unsure of what to do next (with both an open tab and open bottles of wine). Hospitality is about how situations are handled, and this was handled with zero empathy. It was obvious we were celebrating and had invested our time and money into the evening. Instead of being met with any level of understanding, the tone from management felt cold and dismissive. If we had been approached with this information and we had been offered an option to pay a fee or throw away full plates of food, I would have done either immediately to avoid what we experienced. From an interpersonal standpoint, you never know what someone is celebrating, grieving, or simply trying to get through. The lack of empathy and the tone taken by the GM was truly shameful, and it turned what should have been a joyful celebration into something deeply uncomfortable. It's especially heartbreaking because we’ve historically adored this wine bar. Morgan, in particular, has always been warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable—exactly what keeps us coming back. I hate that this interaction with management eclipsed many positive memories and events I have enjoyed at Bar a Vin over the last 3 years. However, I cannot continue to support a business that allows its guests to be treated this way."

"Large selection of wine. All the wines are organic, biodynamic. That means they use sustainable practices. Harry the GM and our bartender was very helpful picking wines for us. We like dry white wine and they had 6 by the glass to choose from. We already had dinner so we got a small side of olives. They have a large selection of food. Of all the wine bars in Charlotte this place has the location and vibe we like. Edit. A friend we just met let us try the octopus in olive oil. We liked it."

"Really nice and always changing selection of natural wines. Tasty snacks, chill vibe, and excellent service. Our friends put us on to this spot and we’ll definitely be back."
