Looking for a nice place to hang out, enjoy good food and good drinks, maybe catch the game? Vine Alley is the place to go (and probably the only one open late around) which makes it stand out! Food wise, take it from a picky eater, it is soo good! Some small to kill the hunger, the bruschetta and brie crostinis were YUM! The dumplings were very tasty but my favorite were the wings…oh that honey flavor was so good!!! 100% recommend, 100% will come back for more when I am back in MD.

We are days away from the much-anticipated debut opening of Vine Alley! Poised to be the social hub of the Kentlands neighborhood, this Casual Bistro features an eclectic retail wine selection, contemporary plates, local beer, and well-priced glass pours in an inviting environment. In terms of selection, this is not your everyday Wine Shop! From undisputed retail staples to exclusive boutique varietals, the wine at Vine Alley has been procured to meet the demands of every consumer. I especially love the “Hidden Gems” section! Make a bee line for this shelf if you are heading to a dinner party and want to bring “something different” to wow your friends with! The outdoor patio is beautiful! Not to mention accessible to the bar! Customers won’t have to move from their seat to order “another round.” :) The perfect spot for a summer’s evening in town! Owners Sean and Sam are Members of the community and very involved with this operation! As for service, Lead Bartender Becca is another “hidden gem” and point of reference for any questions or requests you may have regarding the venue. See you there soon!

10/10 experience always! The bartender Tini and my server TJ are always the best. The ambiance is so nice and the live music really makes the night! Charcuterie board and vinho verde will always do you right!

Loved going here! I got some mocktails while my group was overjoyed with the wine. The food was delicious and the best thing I ate in the area. The staff were constantly walking around to help. We were there during another group's fairly loud event, so it might have been abnormally noisy. Staff were hard to spot in the large crowd, maybe a more standardized attire would have helped?
