Wingman Metrics
You open the menu at Red Robin and the wine section is basically a sticky note taped to the back of a laminated page — a handful of California pours that feel chosen by someone who has never actually thought about wine. The list exists because every bar-and-grill legally needs one, not because anyone here cares.
Six to ten wines, California-heavy, built around recognizable-enough brand names like Imagery to pass a quick glance. There's no real curation here — this is a chain menu assembled at a corporate office and printed identically across hundreds of locations. No depth, no regional interest, no surprises. The gaps aren't gaps so much as the whole list is one big gap.
Four to six options by the glass, priced $8–$14, which sounds reasonable until you remember what's actually in those glasses. The Mango Moscato Wine Shake — yes, a wine shake — is technically on the menu, which tells you everything you need to know about the ambition level here. Rotate the whole program into a cocktail list and nobody would notice.
Imagery Wine (house pour) — $8
At the low end of the price range, this is the least-bad option on the list. Imagery is a Beringer offshoot with decent production values for what it is — drinkable, inoffensive, and at $8 a glass you're not risking much.
Imagery Wine
It's the only producer on this list with any actual winemaking identity behind it. That's a low bar, but in this context, Imagery is as close to a hidden gem as it gets — which really just underscores how thin this list is.
Mango Moscato Wine Shake
A wine shake is not a wine experience. At chain markup prices, you're paying for novelty that belongs at a county fair, not on a wine list. Order a beer or a cocktail instead — Red Robin's bar program will serve you better.
Imagery Wine (house red) + Royal Red Robin Burger
A soft, fruit-forward California red won't fight the egg and beef situation happening in this burger. It's not a transcendent pairing — it's two things that won't actively clash, which is honestly the ceiling here.
The Bottom Line
Red Robin's wine list is a corporate checkbox, not a wine program. Order a craft beer, a milkshake, or a cocktail — those are the actual reasons to sit at this bar.
· Everett · Northwest / Seafood
Jetty isn't a wine pilgrimage, but it's a thoughtful little list at a waterfront spot in Everett — fair prices, genuine Pacific Northwest representation, and no obvious embarrassments. Send your friend here for a glass of Pinot Gris and some Puget Sound seafood without hesitation.

Downtown Everett · Everett · Italian / Wine Bar
Luca is the kind of reliable Italian date-night spot that Everett needed — the wine program is Italy-focused and food-friendly, even if it doesn't take many risks. Send your parents here for their anniversary; save your deep-dive wine nerding for a dedicated wine bar.

Everett Marina · Everett · Italian / Wine Bar
Lombardi's is doing something genuinely unexpected for a marina-side Italian in Everett — a deep, glass-for-glass Washington-meets-Italy red wine program that earns a second look. The pricing leans steep on the high end, but the range and ambition make it worth navigating.

Port of Everett · Everett · Wine Bar / Bistro
Rustic Cork is the kind of neighborhood wine bar that Everett deserves — unpretentious, waterfront, and built around wines from right down the road. Show up on a Wednesday with someone worth talking to and let the half-price bottles do the rest.

Unknown · Everett · Mexican
La Terraza is a solid neighborhood spot for the food — but the wine list is an afterthought and everyone involved knows it. Come for the fajitas, order the sangria, and save the bottle of wine for when you get home.

Broadway · Everett · Mexican
Tampico is a neighborhood Mexican spot that does its core job well — the wine list is simply not part of that job. Order the margaritas, grab a Sangria carafe if you need something to share, and save the wine conversation for somewhere else.
