Slate Wine Bar

Slate Wine Bar updated their information in their About section.

Thank you for the memories, Glover Park! Hear from Chef Danny in the post below about our farewell to make way for an exciting new expansion of our sister restaurant, Xiquet DL.

As part of our exciting new undertaking to expand Xiquet DL we will be closing this chapter of Slate Wine Bar to make room for a whole new experience on the first floor of our home here in Glover Park. Slate, and all of the people who made it a neighborhood mainstay for nearly a decade, will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for all the incredible memories, and the nights we'll never forget. Tonight (Somm Night!) will be our last official service at Slate Wine Bar, but we will be pouring wine at the bar Friday and Saturday as well if you want to come drink a final toast with us! 🍷

Staying in town this weekend? Come see us at Slate and enjoy our smoked octopus with black garlic squid ink puree, shish*to peppers, and pearl onions 😍
