This is one of the top three bars in New Haven. The owner takes pride in sourcing the most interesting and delicious wines. The ambience is mystical, intimate and charming, all at the same time and the music selection is always on point. Additionally, take a look at their menu as they have tons of tasty offerings on small plates. This is a must try!

We arrived at 5:00 and were the first and only customer's. I guess they were still setting up because service was SLOOWWW. We finally were approached by the bartender ( we weren't in her area) who obviously didn't want to serve us. Any questions were met with a slight attitude and our drinks took a long time especially our second glasses of wine with our food. The food was good but the service really took away from the entire experience.

Apologies for the blurry picture! I got a cocktail called "swamp something"- it had cucumber gin and peanuts. What an odd but magical combination! I've never had anything like it before and I'm worse for it. This is a perfect neighborhood bar. The bar was decorated for Halloween, and the staff were wearing the coolest masks. Service was attentive and thoughtful. My friends enjoyed their wine and the mushroom carpaccio, salami, cheese and olives. What a gem!

This is a perfect neighborhood wine bar, with really nice small plates, beautifully presented. The beet salad is like a work of art (but delicious too). The radishes with butter are amazing, with some kind of local butter. And the sardines!
The main reason for the ranking is because of service. Bar is dark and cozy in the best way. Second room that looked cozy and comfortable. Cocktails were tasty but nothing amazing. Appetizers were also nice but the bartender that served us was cold to the point of being rude. Everyone can have a bad day so hoping she was just off but the service was so lacking that we only had one cocktail and appetizer and left. Will definitely eventually try again but unfortunately was very disappointed.

Great selection of wines and artisanal food choices. A little expensive but worth the trip for a couple glasses of wine and the vibes. Bartenders are super kind as well.

Best wine bar in New Haven. Small but unique selections by the glass that change frequently, and tasty appetizers. Great ambiance and service

Great cocktails that are inventive and unique. Loses points for its food, I wasn't particularly impressed and it was fairly pricy. Would love to see the cocktail menu expanded for more options.

I found this little hole in the wall via Yelp. It's kind of hidden around the corner but I was greeted by a very nice hostess outside the door. By myself, I sat at the bar and was greeted right away by the bartender. I tried a Rose and a Red wine, both delicious. She let me order the charcuterie board half size and everything tasted so good together. From the cheese to the meats and the pickles- yum! The atmosphere gives off as a quiet yet classy speakeasy vibe. Bartenders were great with conversation and service. I would definitely recommend!
