The Corkscrew is a down-to-earth Houston wine bar in the part of Washington Avenue that still looks industrial. The circa 1920 building inspires a rustic and casual atmosphere that is unpretentious and relaxing. The corkscrew serves excellent appetizers and nibbles including cheese plates, chocolate truffles, and pizzas.
The wine manager, Lee, has assembled a wonderful portfolio of hard-to-find and limited production wines including boutique and limited production wines like the 1150 (Eleven-Fifty) from Bodega Ikal.
