From the moment we arrived till the moment we left, the experience was amazing! The wine selection is impeccable. There are varieties to meet every wine connoisseur’s standards yet the wine professionals have options for those who are just entering the world of grape varieties. The food is simple yet delicious. Every item on the menu is thought out to pair well with their wine list. We celebrated my friend’s birthday. And they made it more so special!

I hosted a 40th birthday party for a dear friend here this weekend. We had more people than expected and were talking loudly and laughing and being boisterous and the staff was SO kind and accommodating. They did everything in their power to make it a fun and festive occasion. The wine was excellent. It’s a great place to reconnect with friends with top notch staff and a variety of options for food and drink.

We sat in the little outdoor area, which was very cozy with the little fire pits. The staff was very attentive, and knew everything about all their wines. They made our girls night out so much fun!

Serious wine nerds and total fun!! Best wine bar in DC – and a global contender. You can have the best wine, learn from the terrific, nerdy hipster staff. And have a delightful nosh too! This is what a great wine bar should be – lots of love of craft and no pretension!!

A good time here with friends. We tried to get extra dirty martinis but they were out of brine which is on us for ordering martinis at a wine bar (even though they have cocktails available). The wine is great! Lots of options and variety. The food is also very good. We got the multiple crunch wraps, dumplings and grilled cheese. Will be back!

I came here with my friends after Dacha, and we had a really good time. The service from our bartender was phenomenal. The red wine he selected for us was a crowd pleaser. They were also playing throwbacks, which was an added plus!

Absolutely love this Maxwell in Shaw. The atmosphere is great, the drinks are good and the food is great. Best grilled cheese in the city and the duck is amazing as well. I highly recommend this place if you are going to have a night out with friends or want a quick dinner in a pretty laid back atmosphere. Also good for date nights. Will definitely be back.

Just came here for a night cap. It was nice outside so we wanted to sit outside by one of the fire pits. The wine selection is great and rotates monthly. Definitely a great spot to check out, whether you’re a wine lover or you’re a beginning just starting to learn about wine!

This place is amazing! They don’t take reservations, if you want a table you have to walk in here, when you feel like it, old school style! They also have artisanal cruch wrap supremes!

My new favorite wine bar (really the only wine bar I know). Multiple staff members, including the owner, are sommeliers and are very knowledgeable of wine. They have a monthly theme that keeps people coming back for more, and they do cool events all the time. Get there early for a table (I don’t think they do reservations), get an Uber, and hey ready for a great night.
