“ First time but certainly not the last. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and they were slammed with a 9-top, 80% full indoor, and a full patio (nice spring day). But the bartender/server absolutely KILLED IT. Handled the entire restaurant alone. Her speed, grace and focus were incredible. Latina and lively. Always positive and laughing, engaging with the customers, polite but honest on service times, attentive to everyone. Familiar with the locals and welcoming to new-comers like me. I would give 5-stars on her performance alone. Her staff in the back was great too, whipping out orders as fast as possible. Excellent team effort. Honestly can’t say enough with how impressed I was. And that’s not to mention the food/drink. I wanted an IPA, was recommended two, eventually tried both, both delicious. (Neglected my 2nd, but wouldn’t let me drink a ‘flat’ beer, so she topped me off with a fresh pour - A) I got the Smokehouse Burger and it was fantastic. Cooked perfectly (med.-well) and that mix of BBQ sauce with spicy aioli? I mean wow. The bun was A, butter toasted and fresh. The Cajun fries were a little salty but the Cajun seasoning had a delicious kick. Only complaint is that the sauce that came with the fries didn’t look very appetizing but upon trying was actually very tasty. Overall food and drink were A. Well done Corkscrew. A great time with amazing service and delicious food. A true treasure to the community. Will be back with friends, and will recommend to everyone I know. Thank you. ”
“ First off, I went on a Saturday afternoon and there were two women working. 1 Cook/bartender and 1 bartender/waitress (Allison). They were both terrific and ran that place so smooth. There were people at the bar, on the high top tables and people outside and both of those women made it feel like they were there just for us. The service was perfect. Second, the food might have been the best bar food I've ever had. The Burger might have been the best burger I've ever had period. This place is a gem and I will be going regularly now. ”
“ I frequent this place often, the food and staff are great. I went last night with my mom and the service was exceptional!! Maria as always was on point, incredibly attentive, always knows what we like, makes us feel welcome as soon as we walk in the door. This place would not be half as good it weren’t for the amazing staff! Thanks again Maria!! ”
“ Lively local place, family run i belive. Good for a fun hangout its a small place though . Got a burger and waffle fries they taste good. The food is made besides the bar and you can see it being prepared. The staff is good. Price is reasonable. I would come back here if i am in this area. ”
“ This is a fun neighborhood bar with great services. Everyone was very personable here. Bar food was okay but it stood out in this area. You should definitely try their burgers if you are ever here. Good beer selections and many gin cocktail options. ”
“ We’ve been wanting to try Corkscrew Bar for months and I’m so glad we finally went. The food was amazing and our servers quite lovely. I got the Jersey burger and it was phenomenal! Perfectly cooked and one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten (I should mention that I am not generally a burger person and I will go back for this burger!) my husband got the double burger and it was huge! And delicious! Definitely best burger in the heights. We also got Cajun waffle fries which were delicious but very salty from the Seasoning. Still worth it! We also got onion rings and wings. Again, really good. The portions were much larger than anticipated so quite worth the price. We also loved the cider selection! Can’t wait to go back since we’re now local. ”
