50 Best Wine Bars in Brooklyn

“My partner and I love cafe mado and have previously dined here but not in a minute.

Place de fetes was truly a 10/10 experience. They are so creative and seasonally aligned. The menu is delicious and exciting.

The service is wonderful and kind.

If you can, come here, order a lot and enjoy the nice vibes“

“Amazing food and wine. Excellent service!“

“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“With Others has been my favorite wine bar in NYC for quite some time. I love stopping in with a few friends for a glass or bottle of wine and some snacks, or booking their Sunday wine school for a fun weekend adventure. I hosted a birthday party in the backyard a few weeks ago. Everything was perfectly handled! Lauren and the staff helped me pre-order wine and food and kept everything running smoothly. Would highly recommend for parties!“

“Super Cody atmosphere with great wine selection“

“Absolutely loved this neighborhood gem in Brooklyn. We sat at the bar and the bartender was so nice. We had their amazing cheese burgers with fries, everything was excellent including the atmosphere. The perfect place to hang out in Brooklyn for a casual meal or drinks.“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“Went for brunch. Good food but not great, pricey, with slightly over salted ham in the Croque Madame for my liking. We had a reservation for 4 but that changed to 6. They really couldn't accommodate that change, but it was last minute so I don't hold that against them. Very busy place with lots of energy.“

“I had a really thoughtful and lovely experience here. We were celebrating a birthday and the team - starting with the door guy and then to the lead/captain, whatever they call it. They made sure to help us out in any way possible and I was fully ready to have a typical ny experience, where they just have no patience for groups. Thank you for all of your true and genuine hospitality! <3“

“First time visiting Zagaya's and it was lovely! The food, service and ambiance were excellent.Very welcoming staff! I'm not a big cheese eater but I really enjoyed the cheeses we ordered. Loved the Apple Cider Tej (warm)! Perfect for a chilly night! Will definitely go again the next time I'm in Brooklyn.“

“The food at Bar Bira was absolutely delicious! everything we ordered was packed with flavor. Service was great, friendly, attentive, and helpful without being pushy. I’m not a wine expert, but the staff did a great job guiding us to something we liked, which I appreciate it.“

“The mushroom pizza is to die for!! The vibes were cozy and i loved the diffused lighting. Aesthically speaking this place was very beautiful inside, we had to take a moment to pause and look at the art/architecture. The food was good, the drinks were good, and the service was quick and friendly.“

“Lovely place. We got the 5-course prix fixe, which let us sample lots of different dishes. Everything was interesting and delicious. The staff was so lovely, personable and warm. I won't lie, in these days of hard budgets, this will be a splurge for many (we went with the help of a gift card!). With tip, it came to about $250...that's a lot for two people. Was it worth it? Yes!! But is that kind of expenditure hard for many right now? Also yes. Still, I am so glad we went, and I am thankful to the staff for the great food and service. This place is terrific for a special occasion.“

“Great night of friends, family and wine!“

“Bro They Created Like The Best Matcha I’ve Ever Had In My Life 😭 If yall come here. PISTACHIO Matcha Iced w Oat Milk. That shit is crazy. Life changing, It was so good I had to walk in and ask the manager the recipe for this. But I recommend anybody to try this if you trying to get into matcha“

“Really cute wine bar with comfortable bar and table seating. Cocktails and wine on happy hour with dollar happy hour oysters. Lots of great charcuterie options! We had oysters, an espresso martini, and happy hour white wine. It was cozy and comfortable. Really liked visiting here“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“We just hosted our (fairly large) baby shower at Commune this past weekend, and it was a truly positive experience. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Commune to anyone—from those looking for a relaxed evening with wine to those planning a beautiful gathering or celebration. The venue also hosts a range of thoughtful events centered around international food and music, which adds to its charm.

Dean and Vanessa, the owners, were incredible to work with—gracious, patient, accommodating, and genuinely kind. We wrapped up the day feeling deeply grateful and so happy we chose to celebrate at Commune. We wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you, Commune!“

“This is a pretty interesting spot! It’s one part wine bar, one part restaurant, one part art studio and showroom - the wine is the star here imo, and it’s worth checking out for a drink and a little bite. The food is yummy for sure, but definitely felt too expensive for what it was and how much of it you get. I’m planning to go back for the wine!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Rhodora last night for the Critical Whimsy pop-up in the back room.

Laura-Sage not only provides incredible service, curated a welcoming and intentional vibe, but also is the brain behind Critical Whimsy, an incredible expression of unique and special ferments.

Laura Sage is a gift to this wine bar and anyone with the chance to catch another Critical Whimsy pop up should run, not walk.“

“My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Frog Wine Bar! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual night out or a special celebration. The wine selection is impressive, with something for every palate, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area — a hidden gem!“

“What a sexy and inviting blues, folks music joint. All musicians are welcomed on Tuesdays from 8 to 1 to share their love of blues, jazz, folk music and to be yourself. Vegan hotdogs and a simple menu. A sexy and warm experience. I go there all the way from Rockaway Beach to Williamsburg.“

“Locale elegante accogliente buon cibo carta vini ben studiata personale qualificato e gentile atmosfera da sogno e con dehor pittoresco.Assolutamente da provare 🇮🇹🔝👍“

“I’m honestly conflicted. While I want to give this place a rave review, I also don’t want it to get as crowded as it should be. 😁
The food is great! I was actually on my way to an other place & took a moment to peek at their menu & saw the raclette which immediately made me change my plans.
It was absolutely the right decision!
Not just is the food lovely though, with a nice variety of selections, but it is chic yet cozy & the service is outstanding. Ross was behind the bar and serving & he couldn’t have been kinder & more accommodating to my allergies.
So, you should absolutely give it a try if you are looking for a solidly good, low key place, with great vibes and food to match.“

“From the moment we walked in, to our exit the atmosphere was superb and the staff is attentive but not overly so. From appetizers to main course, thru dessert everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. A true 10 out of 10 experience!“

“A wine bar that somehow manages not to take itself too seriously. The staff are friendly and there are lots of fun wines to try. You see a lot of dates happening probably because it's so easy to chat here and the wines give you something to talk about but not in an uptight way.“

“Came to a wedding and the food is absolutely phenomenal!“

“Been here a few times, both for meals and drinks. The outdoor space is across from Fort Greene park and is relatively quiet despite being on the street. The indoor space is more intimate and you’re seated very close to other patrons which makes it a bit noisier when the restaurant is busy. The food was delicious, we got a mix of the steak frites, French onion soup, and foie gras. They have an extensive wine menu, so it’s a great spot for casual drinks on a nice day too.“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“The absolute best burger I have ever eaten, hands down! Excellent service and ambiance. Highly recommend!“

“This is a super cute little spot. It has a very charming heated back patio if you are looking to have a drink with a friend safely during the pandemic.“

“Stumbled upon this place with friends amazing orange wine and mac and cheese with bacon and a smoky gazpacho! Five stars!!!“

“I had a wonderful dinner at Levant! Every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The cocktails were fantastic as well. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast and attentive. You can really feel the warmth and hospitality here — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I just found this place and now normally go to work from here in the morning and it's very chill. It's nice. They make drinks in real glasses. It's the normal cake, donut, croissant coffeeshop. It's super quiet which is good and clean.“

“Food and service were outstanding“

“A Hidden Gem in Brooklyn – Freshness, Creativity, and World-Class Wine

Luya Omakase and Wine Bar is a true standout — easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Brooklyn. Every bite of the omakase menu bursts with freshness and balance. The fish is immaculate — you can taste the quality and care in every piece — and the chef’s creativity shines through with thoughtful flavor pairings that go well beyond the traditional. Each course feels like a small, artful surprise.

What truly sets Luya apart, though, is the wine program. The selection of natural wines is nothing short of incredible — bottles from China, Japan, North Carolina, France, Italy, and beyond — curated with intention and discovery in mind. It’s rare to see such a diverse and adventurous list executed this well.

Owner Irvin ties it all together. His passion and deep knowledge of wine elevate the entire experience — he doesn’t just pour; he guides you through each pairing, weaving stories and flavor notes that make every sip more meaningful.

Between the pristine ingredients, inventive omakase, and world-spanning natural wine list, Luya is a must-visit for anyone who loves food, wine, and genuine hospitality. An easy 5 stars.“

“After searching for an appropriate venue for three old childhood friends to rest their weary bodies from eight hours of walking and enjoy a cocktail, we came upon this gem of a place. We each had a drink, but, I was the only one who got a snack. Two magnificent bruschettas hit the spot. I hope I can find this place again on my next walk over the Bridge!“

“This is my favorite place to be . A place with courteous staff, quality drinks, and the kindest hospitality. Also is in the sweet spot for music. Tyler , Thomas, Endo(the owner) always take care of me . It’s been very therapeutic sitting at their counter. There’s a lovely display screen of all the drinks so you can read and select while respecting the flow going on here. They have great convos and always a safe, fun, lively crowd. They are my special taste of relaxation in the city. I enjoy the sangria or a glass of wine. They serve responsibly here so it’s all good.“

“I recently had a delightful dining experience at Leland Eating and Drinking House in Brooklyn. Starting with a refreshing porter beer from the tap, I then savored the incredible Japanese sweet potato, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Porchetta Sandwich with ZA'ATAR CHIPS. Encased in their soft and freshly made bread, the sandwich was a symphony of flavors, perfectly complemented by the crispy and tasty house-made chips. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to using high-quality ingredients and crafting memorable dishes. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy exceptional food. I look forward to returning to Leland Eating and Drinking House to explore more of their enticing menu offerings! 10 star review!!!“

“Love this place! It's cozy, has great wines and the bartenders are great. William is my favorite and I venture to Brooklyn just to see him!“

“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.“

“No indoor dining because Covid They have taken great care of making a lot of available tables and even have some enclosed outdoor booths. The use of space is pretty amazing and well adapted to the neighborhood They neighborhood is great I saw the prettiest dogs in Brooklyn all walking in full force The place has a friendly family-type vibe Th coworkers are all friendly with each other and warm to their clientele The food is impeccably well prepared, tasty and quite authentically Italian I doubt one could find anything more authentic with such fine ingredients and creatively presented anywhere other than Italy. If you do, let it be known and I’m sure the staff here would feel the kindred spirit of another fine cuisine It’s in the medium-high priced category but it lives up to the prices in its quality Wait staff is genuine and kind and do make a great effort to make one comfortable and enjoy their meal Highly recommend“

“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!“

“I can't say enough good things about this place. The owner has a special way of making you feel right at home, and that warmth extends to the entire staff. His assistants are all fantastic cooks, and no matter when you visit, the food is consistently top-notch.
​While there are a few dishes that might not be my personal favorite, almost everything on the menu is excellent and the prices are incredibly reasonable. It's a great spot for a delicious and inexpensive meal. Plus, they offer group cooking classes, which is a unique and fun way to learn some of their secrets!“

“This restaurant is truly one of those gems that you secretly don’t want to share, but know they deserve the shout out! Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, superb menu curated and prepared by a talented and passionate chef! Brooklyn at its Brooklyn best! A must try kind of place!“

“Absolutely delicious food and a great menu! We will definitely return!“

“We visited Pearl Street for the third time in a year and it somehow keeps getting better. We have always thought it was a great restaurant, but this visit truly stood out. The food was fun, creative, and incredibly tasty, and the service was warm and welcoming.

We did the chef’s tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was a complete no brainer. Every course was excellent and thoughtfully paired. Easily one of the best dining experiences we have had in years. Do not overthink it. Just go. A solid 10 out of 10. We will be back very soon. Thank you!!!“

“We were able to sit down right away at the bar and received excellent service. The staff is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. And the food was soooo good. The chop salad, burger, vinegar chicken and brownie sundae all tasted amazing. Everything tied together to make a worth while experience. We will be coming back!“
