Just had a wonderful time at a FREE concert at Barrister Winery, and one of the owners offered to walk my 68 year old mother to her car because he thought she was alone. This is Spokane at its best. Thank you, Barrister!

Surprisingly cool! A hidden gem in a downtown area. Nice, helpful staff. The building is historical and just so cool. Ask about the local trains assisting in the making of a smooth, yummy wine.

Rude people who are inconsiderate of their neighboring apartment building where children who have school tomorrow live…
Spoke to owner and resolved this issue. He was very nice and even reimbursed me for the noise canceling headphones I had to purchase for my autistic son. Hope it doesn’t happen again.

I'll start off by saying that this review is only based on hosting an event at Barrister Winery.

We had a celebration of life service at Barrister Winery and it ended up being the perfect venue to host the event! Included in our rental was private use of the winery and the outdoor courtyard. With the weather being sunny and low 80s, the courtyard was a welcomed addition! The indoor space is quite large, elegant and cozy, with an overall relaxing ambiance; the exposed brick interior adds to the feeling of warmth.

It nicely fit roughly 75 people with plenty of room for social distancing

Elegant environment. The wine tasting was delicious! They had a great variety of types of wine and a good, reasonably prices selection of bottles. We loved viewing the paintings they had for sale.

Fantastic wine tasting! Jen was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We loved every wine, and with a tasting fee of $5 you cannot go wrong. Will absolutely be back.

My very favorite winery. This boutique winery has such a unique and rustic atmosphere. Greg Michael and Tyler make incredible wine. You must stop by for a tasting. Enjoy and walk around the space and see for yourself why this wine is Gold Metal Standard. You can also visit the Tasting Room downtown Spokane and every time you'll learn something new!

I just wanted to say thank you to your wonderful staff for accommodating me last night while I was trying to do some images of Miss Washington before she heads to Las Vegas for Miss America competition. As a military member, I use photography as a stress relief from everyday life. Your staff was very welcoming and friendly. The only thing I had to do was give a good review on Yelp. I wouldn't ever leave a bad review because of how friendly the staff was. Thank you again for letting me be able to capture the image I was able to share on your page.

I love this winery. Rough Justice is the BEST! It's my go to wine, for nice events and just a relaxing night at home. Plus their locations are beautiful. Great place for an event. The tasting room is small and friendly.

What a fun place. Wander down the back alley, admire the courtyard and then go into a great venue. I love the rustic warehouse. Good wine, buy a bottle and share with your friends.
Wednesday night live music in the summer. Bring your own dinner and enjoy the wine and wonderful atmosphere.
First Friday is a great time to visit, live music. Art on the walls changes every month, sometimes its cool, artistic, sometimes its not.

What a fantastic downtown spot! They keep winning award after award for their gently "shaken, not stirred" wines, but that's not their only outstanding feature - the venue itself is gorgeous, as is the high quality fine art they feature each month. Great job Greg Lipsker and co.!

We attended a wedding here and it was a great facility. The space was well laid out with the bar being away from where all of the tables were so no speeches were interrupted, etc. The outdoor area had lots of room so people could freely hang out there if they didn't want to be in the loud music atmosphere. My only complaint is that the bathrooms are all one person at a time ones that were right behind the front DJ and dance floor area.

The parking was clearly marked a not a problem in the downtown environment. The staff was friendly and prompt and the food not too bad. The decor was rustic

True Love.
As I sat beside him slowly sipping wine, I ever so softly whispered, "I love you." He turned, stared deep into my eyes and asked, "Is that you talking or the wine?" Confidently I replied, "It's me....talking to the wine."

Barrister Cab Franc, you've captured my heart.
