The cocktail selection is very good, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. I happened in on a night when the kitchen was having a problem, so I can't comment on most of the food. What was available was still quite good. The staff working were very accommodating and understanding and overall seem great.

Yesterday, I had a pretty underwhelming experience at The Eastern. I understand the bar can get busy, but the service didn't feel very welcoming. When I sat down, I wasn't greeted right away. I was probably there for about 3 to 4 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. Eventually, I was handed a drink menu and a water. Which came from the barback. Honestly, he was more helpful and attentive than the female bartender.
Later on, I noticed a guest sitting a couple seats away was greeted immediately and given water without having to ask. When i asked for my check, I was told it would be brought out after the bartender finished making drinks. I get that it was busy, but the whole interaction made me feel like I wasn't a priority.
I hope this feedback helps improve the overall guest experience.

Great wine selections and cheese board. Kinda noisy, but was a full house during a rainstorm.

This place is wonderful! Staff is so so nice and accommodating. They made us feel really welcomed and not rushed at all. The drinks are tasty and amazing.
Great selections of wine with a few non-wine options, including non-alcoholic beers. Waitress was knowledgeable and gave an awesome recommendation.

Andrew, our server, was so wonderful! He recommended an amazing wine and my friends and I loved chatting with him!

The Eastern is a wine bar so let's start with the wine list. The list is varied, playful, interesting, and approachable for the novice and engaging to the very knowledgeable. Yeah, the wine part is lovely, one of the best wine bars in the city.
The food is delightful. The Eastern Burger is my current pick for best in the city. The pretzel, hummus, and crudo are also top of the table.
The service is warm and kind.

I went to a special Galentine’s wine tasting event at the Eastern, and it was such a great time! The staff was so knowledgeable about the wines they served us. They were happy to answer any questions we had. We ordered the Beastern Board. It was exquisite.🍷

I had a great time at this wine bar. The vibe was super relaxed, making it easy to unwind.
I wanted to try the charred Brussels sprouts, but they were out. Our waiter apologized and brought us Arancini instead, which I hadn't planned on ordering but ended up really enjoying. This was a super nice gesture.
We also had the White Bean Hummus and Shrimp Tacos—both were delicious. For drinks, we tried the Sophie Rose and a glass of Chardonnay; both were excellent.
Overall, the food was flavorful, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was calming. I'll definitely be back.
