Just one block west of the new Louisiana-Pearl light rail station, The Village Cork is one of my favorites. Admittedly I'm a regular, but i was hooked to this place almost right away by it's unique wine offerings, casual but dressy food selections, and it's great ambience. You can sip away the night in a fun conversation at the bar with the always colorful, friendly staff or tuck away in a cozy corner with soups made from scratch, imported cheeses or a decadent dessert. Once you go, you'll keep coming back. What better excuse to get out of that downtown hotel, apartment or loft, or plan your escape from the burbs to this "Old Pearl Street" neighborhood treat.
Pros: Easy parking around the area or take the light rail
Cons: None

Wine bars are fun without a doubt - you get to pick wines that may not be offered by the glass in most restaurants, so it's less risky, and the atmosphere is almost worth the price per glass. I really enjoy this one. It's a dinky little place with lots of charm and very friendly owners who love to tell me about their wine without looking down their nose or making me wonder whether I'm dressed appropriately.

I thoroughly enjoyed spending an evening getting to know a new friend here. The staff was friendly and open. The cheese tray was delicious and the wine was a great. I would recommend this establishment to any one.
Pros: staff, atmosphere
Cons: parking

The Village Cork offers an experience I have found nowhere else in Denver. The comfortable European atmosphere creates the prefect enviornment for that special night out.
Pros: service, atmosphere, wine list

Village Cork deserves the praise it receives. Denver needs more places like this. The wine list is short, but well selected. The foods pair nicely with the wine and the desserts make Village Cork a perfect after-dinner spot. Be advised: The service can be spotty. It took me over 15 minutes to get out of there tonight AFTER I asked for my check (5 minutes to get the bill, 5 minutes to pick up my card, and over 5 minutes to run the card and get it back to me...and there were two people working the tiny place! Several couples left while we waited because they could not get a seat). The wine selection is too limited and the food overpriced. That said, it's still one of my favorite places in Denver. Go have some chocolate cake and a nice merlot, and you'll be back with friends within a week.
