As a visitor to Seattle, it was a pleasure to visit this gorgeous wine bar and buy wine as a sustainable house gift for a friend. The wine was boxed up beautifully while we chatted. I would love to come back for food one evening. It is a calm and relaxing place, welcoming to families too.
Wonderful to be in this space and to support a local LGBTQ POC business. Wonderful wine and charcuterie. Wonderful service with social distancing applied. 100% recommend calling ahead for a reservation.
Had a wine flight, mixed olives and the cheese pizza. Lovely relaxing space with friendly service. Enjoyed the wines on offer and do recommend for a good start to the evening
Came here to celebrate my birthday! We attended the first class the owner gave. He was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable, we got lots of great info and tried some truly unique wines. It's a beautiful space too.cCan't wait to come back and visit again soon!
We absolutely loved Footprint Wine Tap! The selection of local wines was incredible, and chatting with Ken made the experience even better. His passion and knowledge really elevated our visit. I hope we get the chance to return someday. Such a great wine bar!
One of our best finds in Capitol Hill since moving to WA. Footprint Wine Tap offers guests a large selection of incredible wine to enjoy as well as a cozy and intimate setting to enjoy them in. The best Pinot Noir and Merlot I've had in the state of WA has been at Footprint. Ken (the owner) is a phenomenal human, if you have the opportunity to pick his brain about wine I'd take it. This is a small black-owned business, focused on sustainability and connecting with the community. I can't wait to go back!
We came on a Thursday night around 7 pm and the place was empty. I don't remember the server's name but she was really nice and answered any questions we had. She recommended some good wine and a cider. I got a flight for 20 and I'd say it was well worth it. We didn't try any food so I can't speak to that. I would have loved to visit on a more popular night or when there was an event happening. I can see the potential in this place. I think more people should check it out and make it a regular stop during their week. It's pretty cool to see wine on tap instead of beer.
Just look at the menu!! Owner Ken Dillon has spent over 2 years now perfecting this spot for YOU, the customer. Whether you are local or just visiting, this is worth a stop. Dine in, or carry out ... just do your thing and let Ken and his staff help you with it. Jist a nice and cozy place to be. They will answer all your questions. Doesn't matter if you are a wine enthusiasts or never had wine before. This is the place to be.
