The Social Cork Wine Bar

The owner and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is fantastic with lots of places to sit and relax. The concept of the wine dispenser is novel and a bit naughty. You can definitely get in trouble here sampling all the different types of wine.

This place is so cute and lowkey I loved it. There is live music so that's always a plus. We came on a rainy Friday evening with prior reservations made and we walked into a bright atmosphere, where the after work conversation was flowing. I loved the orange walls and the lounge couches as well. They have small plates to choose from which is totally shareable amongst friends. My fave was the pita with prosciutto and honey. Uhmmmm yum!!!! I ordered my usual cocktail and espresso Martini with Tequila and it was delicious. When in Fort Mill, SC make sure to stop on in.

Quaint little place. Very classy. Mel, owner, is quite the hostess.Great drinks. Good conversation. Very yummy apps.

Stopped by my favorite wine bar tonight and grabbed some good wines!! Always a great vibe and they have wine classes currently! Check the bar out! Mel, the owner is the sweetest and always gives the best recommendations!

My friend and I decided to share a bottle of wine. The server offered a taste and we decided it was tasty. It wasn't the same wine we were served. The server brought out two glasses of poured wine. Much more yellow in color than the samples. I took a taste and said it wasn't as grassy as the taste we had and the color was much more yellow which can indicate a wine that has turned. The server was adamant that it was the same wine that she served us in the tasting glasses. We drank it but I felt it was not of the same quality as the taste.

We visited for a girls night. The space is cute and tiny, kind of reminds me of a coffee shop. They weren't busy so it was quiet and perfect for our get together. However, each of us had an unfavorable experience that evening for different reasons, but I'll highlight just a few:1. Inconsistent Drink: My first coconut martini was delicious but the 2nd one came out tasting sour. For a $14 martini I felt it was necessary let the bartender know, but her response was simply "I made it the exact same way as the first." There was no apology, no offer to take the drink back, no offer to swap out for something else, and no offer to make a new one. I felt stuck with a drink that I didn't even want so my friend made a suggestion to the bartender "How about you make this right for her and re-make the drink?" It's disappointing that the bartender didn't make an effort to correct the issue, and rather we had to ask them for a replacement drink. 2. Missing Half of my Order: I kid you not, they only brought out half of my grilled cheese sandwich. Everyone else at the table received their entire order and not only was mine late, but it was also incomplete. There was no explanation from the server as to why I only got half a sandwich. The other half randomly came out about 10-15 minutes later. 3. No Accommodations for Food Allergies: My friend is highly allergic to chocolate and even wears a necklace letting others know (in case of an emergency). One of the drinks in her $28 martini flight contained chocolate and she asked to swap it out. They wouldn't grant her request and it took us by surprise that the establishment has no regard for food allergies and would rather risk a customer's health and chances of ending up in the ER. Overall, our experience wasn't a good one and I'm not sure when/if we'll be back again.

Shrimp were pea size and only 4 to a "shareable" dish. Even the presentation was amateur on a piece of lettuce with a little side of cocktail sauce in the middle, and maybe a lemon on the side. The website said ask for mocktails, and all they offered was soda with pieces of fruit in it. I had even emailed the place beforehand to see if they offered mock tails and nobody even bothered to reply to my email. There are people that do not drink alcohol, and it would've been nice to know ahead of time or even to be acknowledged. Again very amateur. Ordered a ginger beer and it came out in the tiniest glass I've ever seen, diluted with ice and only half full. Took 15 mins to get it. When I asked them to fill it up they said that that was all they had left. They didn't even have coffee, which is very peculiar for a restaurant. I expected a lot more from this place as the pictures of their food and drinks on the website look amazing but don't be fooled. This place is nothing like what you see on their website.I definitely would not recommend.

Mel and Jay make everyone who walks in the door feel welcomed! Don't miss out on trying this hidden gem!!

This place has a lot of good reviews so I'm going to assume my experience last evening was a fluke. That being said, it was awful. My girlfriend and I arrived around 8:30pm on Friday night and sat at the bar. It was sort of busy... If I had to guess I'd say slightly more than half the tables were occupied. As soon as we sat down, the gentleman next to us warned us that the food service was very slow. We went ahead and ordered some food anyways. I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and a greek salad. About an hour after ordering, the girl working the bar, brought out the sandwich and said the salad would be out in a few more mins. The sandwich looked a bit "thin" so I opened it up and there was no chicken. Just some pesto spread across two pieces of bread. So I pointed it out to the bartender/server and she said they ran out of chicken. I understand that restaurants run out of stuff, but what irritated me was that I waited an hour for a chicken sandwich which turned out to be two slices of lightly toasted bread with a little pesto, and it was served to me in a way that seemed like they were hoping I wouldn't notice. And no salad. We paid the bill for the wine we had and left. I would like to give this place another shot one day since it is local to where I live and does have some very good reviews, hoping it'll be a very different experience. But damn, that was pretty bad.

The bartender was not friendly at all, made my vodka martini with Deep Eddys without asking for a preference. The owner is awesome but needs to do a better job of hiring. The place was empty and quiet.
