Best Wine Bar in Town

Stopped in randomly on a Saturday around 6 because we were looking for somewhere dog friendly. The place was empty so we were skeptical, however, they had several excellent wines by the glass and the two dishes we had were phenomenal. We had the pulled pork hummus, and a pesto hummus. The pulled pork was better than any BBQ joint that I have been to in recent memory.

We had a wonderful first visit to Barkada! Really unique menu of wines by the glass from around the world. The staff were very helpful as we made our selections and everyone enjoyed the wine. Meat and cheese options were also abundant on the menu. The presentation was perfect with local honey, pickled veggies, mustards and more all served with an assortment of fresh toasted breads. Overall, we enjoyed our time and the environment. Service was very laid back and the block was quiet for being so…

Come here all the time. The staff knows me by name and always has recommendations for new wines to try. They also offer special events like wine tastings and once a month they do a drag queen hosted trivia night with prizes. The menu is geared to be well paired with wines. 5/5. Love Barkada. Best spot in DC for natural wines.

Amazing experience! Went with friends, an absolutely lovely day, wonderful food, vegetarian options (not many vegan options, if any), wine was AMAZING, cocktails AMAZING, service was very good with our needy and large group. Remember to email beforehand if you're bringing outside food and you may have to pay a cutting fee.

The cocktails were amazing, the food was delicious, and the playlist was impeccable. Our server was great, had phenomenal taste in music, and also introduced me to a new favorite wine tonight. If you're going to a show at the Lincoln, this place is a must!
