Locavino

Local Flavor and Great Wine in the Heart of Silver Spring

Locavino is a cozy, welcoming wine café located right in downtown Silver Spring, offering a relaxed yet stylish spot for American small plates, local wines, and craft beer. Just steps from the Fillmore and AFI Silver Theatre, it’s an ideal pre-show stop for food and drinks. The vibe is laid-back and neighborhood-friendly, with a focus on regional ingredients and a carefully curated drink menu that supports local vineyards and breweries.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers love Locavino for its unbeatable location near major venues and its fast, friendly service that gets you in and out before showtime. The menu is perfect for sharing—think flatbreads, sliders, and seasonal veggie dishes—making it easy to grab a bite without feeling rushed. The atmosphere is lively but not too loud, so you can still chat with friends or plan your post-show plans over a glass of wine.

What People Say

The outdoor seating area is a favorite when the weather’s nice, and many mention enjoying a relaxing vibe that’s perfect before or after a show. The wine flights get special praise, letting diners sample local favorites without commitment.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the food portions can be on the smaller side, especially for heartier appetites. When the restaurant is busy—often right before evening events—service may slow just a bit, so arriving early is a smart move.
