Crush Pad Wines

"I LOVE Crushpad! It is one of my very favorite places to visit, have a glass of wine, or order some food with friends. It's got such a fun and swanky vibe and the owners are amazing people who genuinely put their heart and soul into these restaurants (to include Luce, Bang!, Bizou, and The Space). Vincent and Rachel know their wines and are passionate about sharing their knowledge with others! One of my favorite things about Crushpad is that you can order Luce to eat. I have never once had an issue here and I can bet if I did, these amazing people would make it right in a heartbeat! If you haven't been you totally should! Perfect place to meet friends for food and drink or grab a little drink before the next stop, or vice versa!"

"Not sure who greeted me but was an older male with grey berated me within minutes of me arriving. I had just started sitting down outside intending on ordering a drink and waiting on a few friends. I had just gotten my coat off when he came out demanding to know what I was doing, that they were open, I couldn't sit here, etc.... I was shocked obviously since it was cold out and they looked empty - but also because I absolutely intended on buying a drink from this sorry establishment. I left shortly afterward since it was really uncomfortable being talked to like that. Unacceptable behavior and judging from other review - not uncommon. Would highly recommend other stores in the area with much better service"

"I went out for a girls night with 2 adult friends. After ordering our pasta from Luce (the sister company of Crush Pads), we decided we also wanted some wine and went over to Crush Pads to enjoy a glass of wine. Surprisingly, the wait staff offered to plate our pasta from Luce for us, and we accepted. After probably a minute of entering the establishment and sitting down, we were rudely and abruptly confronted by the manager. The manager mentioned how UVA students in the past 5 days have been coming in and not ordering anything, and seemed to be accusing us doing the same thing. After mentioning that we were NOT UVA students, and do not know why the students were doing that, he continued to berate us asking why students would do such a thing. We let him know of our decision to come here because we wanted to get a glass of wine, yet he would not leave. After several minutes the manager finally left, no apology. We had just entered and sat down, and not yet even been offered a chance to order a glass of wine. When the waiter came, we did order wine as intended, but it felt extremely forced, rather than our initial desire to have a nice night out with friends. I am extremely displeased at the false accusations, and lack of acknowledgement of the confrontation from a manager. The wait staff was great; however, I am unsure if I will come back for fear of being falsely aggressively confronted by management (with no apology)."

"They have some great events we had a winetasting for $15 each of five wins, the bartenders are amazing if you need anything go talk to Wes he hooked us up with a bottle of wine we were looking for for months. Great atmosphere great selection definitely worth stopping in."

"I love it! If you ever search for a good wine at a fair price: GO there! I have tasted very good french wines for a good price. In addition the staff is very efficient and have a great wine knowledge about the wines they sell. I really appreciated to stop by and I will do again ;-)"
