Cannot recommend Anais more - we hosted a baby shower here, and it was wonderful. The staff was super helpful, and our party couldn't stop drinking their delicious wines. All around great vibe - don't skip on the dips

Anaïs is the perfect spot for any occasion; whether it’s coffee with an old friend, a wine night with the girls, or hosting someone special from out of town. I used to live closer and miss the atmosphere and staff dearly. The wine list is incredibly thoughtful and delicious, curated through time spent learning directly from French winemakers. If you’re in the area, Anaïs is an absolute must-go!

I love bookstore-slash-bars so Anaïs (named after Anaïs Nin) was on my list for a while. This was more of a bar with books for sale than a true bookstore. Though I did spot one person reading alone at a table but most people were in pairs (for the most part, it didn’t seem to be a “book bar” in the settle-in-and-read sense). I’m a huge Henry Miller fan (I first discovered Nin through reading about Miller) and there were both his books and Nin’s books on display (and for sale). I came in around 5:30 on a Tuesday evening. It was bustling but not packed, and we lucked out with the last open spot for a group of four or five (a high-top table). Definitely appreciated that service was relaxed and friendly. They weren’t pushy about ordering more rounds and didn’t try to upsell (appreciate that a lot given how breathing-down-your-neck some plcaes are these days.) We just had olives, bread, and a couple drinks each. There was a magic show at 7 and they let us know beforehand that if we wanted to stay past then it’d be $15/head (we instead went to the sister restaurant Rucola which is one of my favorite spots).

I really enjoyed my time here!
This is the perfect date night spot with friends or a partner, with so many wine and cocktails options.
Service was amazing and the restaurant was so lovely, with candles and a very romantic setting for the evening.
I was not the biggest fan of the appetizers/ shared plates. We ordered the white fish which is ground up fish with potato chips and we ordered the cheese and bread. I was not a fan but would come back just for drinks.

Anais is one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. The wine selection is thoughtful and always has something new and exciting to try. The vibe is warm, intimate, and never pretentious. The staff is genuinely welcoming and knowledgeable—they make the experience feel special every time. Highly recommend.

I didn’t catch his name, but the waiter with a cool mustache and glasses was super nice and very knowledgeable.
Drinks were good, cheese was good, I’ll be back!!!
Had such an incredible experience here. Joseph too such great care of us and was incredibly knowledgeable about their wine offerings. He recommended 3 great options for us and our shared bites were delicious as well. Definitely worth a night out for a wine and bite night.

Stopped by here on a weekend afternoon since I happened to be in the area and wanted to grab a drink. The place was pretty packed, with almost all the tables taken. The vibe and interior had a cool atmosphere and felt pretty nice.
I ordered a dirty martini and a beer, but the beer bottle was super slim compared to others, so the portion felt a bit small. Overall, it’s a solid spot if you live around here.

Popped in on a Friday for some wine before dinner. Very friendly staff and a unique selection of wines! Also a very cozy, comfortable space with a couple tables outside in the summer
