Flights Wine Cafe - Wine bar in Arvada - 7714 Grandview Ave, USA

Relaxed and cozy back-yard type wine bar, offering multiple wine flights, cocktails and bites! The white wine flight was a nice selection of introductory-type wines, which I enjoyed with live music in the background! The espresso martini I had to close off the evening was ok. Would come back for the wines!

Don’t let the bad reviews lie to you. This place is amazing and one of the coziest spots in all of Denver. Our waiter Dan was very nice, very knowledgeable and prompt. We had a red wine flight, white wine flight, a small plate and a cocktail for a very reasonable price. Live music that wasn’t too loud and at a nice volume with an atmosphere that feels like you’re apart of their home. Would certainly go back and will be back.

The owner and server were very attentive, knowledgeable, friendly! I have gotten so much bad service at other places since COVID began, but this place remembers how to make a customer feel like a guest. Our combination board was excellent, filled with meats and cheeses and pickled Vegetables and fruits and olives. The flight of wine was great, the cocktail was excellent! Thanks for being exactly what I was hoping for!

This was my first visit and it was exactly what I needed. I had the happy hour flight for $12. The price was welcome as were the white, red, and rosé presented. While they were not wines I would have normally ordered, I found them intriguing and enjoyable. They were all blends and I found myself asking questions about their make-up. I also had the cherry, Brie and ham sandwich and it was great. I will have that again. The patio wasn’t set up when I came but I can envision a wonderful outdoor happy hour in the sun. The inside is quaint although I. An see it getting crowded and loud once this place picks up. There is not a lot of indoor seating so the key may be to coming early. And I will definitely be coming back.

Updated review July 17th, 2021:. Went with a few friends and noticed that the manager was talking to the performer about volume level. It was a great evening and we could have a conversation with the music in the background. Everything was good, drinks, food, service, interaction with the staff. All good! ----------------------------------- Great place with it's good and bad points. Let's start with the good and let's say great! Wonderful waitress by the name of Olivia, we wanted for nothing and she was extra knowledgeable. Answered every question we had. Wines were great, foods were great, ambiance was great and extra comfortable. Social distancing was in place but didn't feel like it as the back is nice and large. We even found a friend there that we had not seen in quite a while, that just made the evening even better. Everyone was nice and we will be going back for sure. Now a little bit of the not so great. First we couldn't have a conversation because the band, 2 people, 2 guitars and way too much amplification, seemed to think they were a headliner and not there to compliment the evening. This was an opinion shared repeatedly and not just mine personally. Next, one of the male staff just couldn't accept that the face mask should be covering nose and mouth, usually hanging below his nose. Finally, waiting to get in at the street, the wait was excessive. I dropped off two of my friends while I went to go find parking, when I walked back, about a block so not far, there was a couple waiting that was walking up as I pulled away, they were waiting long enough that I walked up and stood behind them waiting, and waiting and waiting, they finally were noticed and then escorted in and I waited and waited again, finally someone came to the street entrance and I got in. In my opinion that took way too long as there was plenty of staff and not a full house by far. So to wrap this up we plan on going back and introducing this great place to more of our friends. BUT, we will think twice only because Saturday will be the day we would plan to go and we will be competing to speak to each other with the band. Hard call if you want a relaxing evening with some friends and that is exactly what Flights can and should offer.

We had a great time here. We came here for happy hour which is from 3-6pm. Seating at the patio and was moved to a gazebo when it started raining. Nice music, great server. She and the owner gave us a great recommendation for wine. I had the dessert flight, all of which are mellow and yummy. Such a great day to enjoy this little town before we leave.

We got there late but they were willing to accommodate us. We chose the charcuterie mixed board. It was very unique and had tons of flavor with new meats and cheeses we had never had before. My husband had 2 different bourbon flights and I had a French Sauvignon Blanc. A wonder place to go! We will be back when we come in again!

I really wanted to like this place. But this was probably the worst service I’ve experienced in a while. Our server forgot our order over 5 times and we had to keep reminding him what we ordered. He came around our table multiple times and asked if we ordered something when we did 15 minutes ago. It took them about 20-30 minutes to get us our drinks and food out to us. When we asked them about the status of our Ofer, they said there was a holdup in the kitchen but then another waiter said it was a computer system problem…. Take note that all of our orders were written on a notepad. The wine and food are very good. But again if you’re okay with waiting for half an hour for a 6oz glass of wine this place is for you. Very dissatisfied with the service. Especially when there is only maybe 10 tables to serve…. Very poor service and I hope they learn from it.
