50 Best Wine Bars in Brooklyn

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the fruits and vegetables is outstanding—always fresh, vibrant, and clearly sourced with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me is the pork braised dish. It’s rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. You can really taste the time and skill that goes into it. This place never disappoints.
Noise level is average for a NYC area restaurant and service spot on (we were a table of 15 for a birthday, not easy to serve even with a pre fix menu!!)“

“Amazing food and wine. Excellent service!“

“Transparently, I only came to meet a friend for one cocktail in the afternoon and she ended up being over an hour late due to an unforeseen circumstance, yet the staff was still so incredibly kind to let me sloooooowwwwly nurse my single iced tea and wait at a a cozy little table near the back until my friend arrived.
It was a quiet day there none the less without too many other diners. Whoever manages this team, does it well. Thanks for making my alone time, not feel so alone.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“I typically don’t leave google reviews but I just had to stop by to give this space their flowers. I reserved an outdoor table to celebrate by birthday for 20 guests in the late afternoon. The service for one was amazing. It was like having our own personal sommelier. They brought over wines based on our stated preferences, food, and clean glasses to replace the old throughout the afternoon into the evening. When we arrived, Sauced was backed with guests, seated out front, inside, and outback. The vibe was just so welcoming and inviting and high spirited. You can tell they’ve built an amazing community of patrons over the years. I just can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed celebrating my birthday here so thank you Sauced. Consider hosting a special event or simply popping in with a friend or two to enjoy their amazing selection of wines.“

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

“Delicious food and cocktails“

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

“Great night of friends, family and wine!“

“The atmosphere and service were outstanding. We only went for desert and coffee. The chocolate cake was amazing. A couple we vacationed with has eaten dinner there 2 nights before and said how amazing the food was. One of the staff members even gave us a personal tour and history of the building. Will be back to Brooklyn and will definitely come back.“

“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!!“

“Experimentar o Amaro é uma experiência divertida!“

“Hosted our wedding here in April and could not have loved it more. Such a charming space and vibe.

Staff was great – accommodating, responsive, and made everything so easy for us. We gave our general vision and they brought it to live so beautifully.

Best natural wine selection as well! Loveeee Rhodora so much“

“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!!!“

“Some of the very best chicken that you can get in all of New York City! The Fly combines a simple menu and affordable menu with flawless execution to create an amazing overall dinner experience. The chicken is juicy, flavorful, and delicious and their white sauce, green beans, and Caesar are standouts on the menu!“

“Nice place, good food, great service!“

“Like most NYC restaurants, they really pack you in here. I was at a two top that was about a foot away from the next two top. We could hear our neighbors entire conversation but sometimes couldn't hear each other across the table. That said, the interior is light filled and airy feeling with its high ceilings. So a mixed bag on ambience. I got the shakshuka for brunch and it was very salty. There wasn't a ton of harissa flavor or other flavor besides the overwhelming saltiness. The eggs were a touch runny as well. My guest got sides of yogurt and sausage. She said the yogurt was very runny but taste was good. The sausage tasted homemade and had a nice and interesting spice balance. Not the best brunch spot I've tried but it wasn't bad either. If it's not busy, it'd probably be a good local option though I wouldn't travel for it.“

“Super Cody atmosphere with great wine selection“

“Came to Brooklyn for the weekend all the way from little Knoxville TN to visit my fiancés family and the last stop on the way out before heading home was for pies at speedy Romeos and boy are we glad we did they were not only the pest pizzas of the trip but the best pizza I’ve ever had hands down we got a classic kids cheese pie and the white album and both were amazing. Will definitely be back for more next time we make the trip back up.“

“Incredible food, friendly staff and proprietor who know their wine list, with a sophisticated yet relaxed space that is perfect whether you are looking for a casual Friday night dinner date or a special occasion. And they are amazing caterers too-got raves for the Otway team’s menu and service at our Christmas party!“

“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!“

“I'm visiting New York City for the 2nd time. My friend and I love Italian food. We found this place on a groupon. We ventured into Brooklyn on the subway and Convivium Osteria. The wait staff were gracious and attentive. Our food arrived quickly, it was hot and delicious. Dessert was divine. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here again and again. 👍😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“My friend and I went for Restaurant Week/celebrated her birthday and the service was impeccable, the complementary amuse bouche was delicious and the food was fantastic. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and my creme brulee was one of the best I've had in as long as I can remember. The drinks were delicious as well! I will be returning, I'm sure!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great drinks, service, very nice vibe & every plate we had was delicious! Didn’t love the wine but I might just be too picky in that department (though I think a bit more variety considering it’s Italian food would have been better). Otherwise, 10/10“

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

“Amazing food, grumpy but helpful staff
Loved the homemade chips and the onion dip! Soooo yummy
Also the eggplant Parmesan was the best I’ve ever had! The Piccata sauce was also unreal 🤤🤤
The drinks were just ok, and not an impressive number of options“

“love it. You won't be disappointed, just try it.🇬🇪❤️💯 Keep up the good work guys!!!“

“We stopped in for a quick brunch at Aira and it was delicious! If you’re looking for a sweet and savory breakfast, highly recommend the Aita breakfast - which comes with 2 eggs, bacon, berry pancakes, greens and home fries. To drink, I had the Greene Mary. Would come back here again!“

“Got a couple drinks with my friend here the other night, the happy hour is decent and the drinks were good. However, the service was not so great. There was only one bartender and although it wasn’t super busy it felt like anytime a drink was needed he was chatting with people at the bar or on his phone. It really wasn’t a major issue but it was a little annoying. The space itself is pretty cute but does feel a little half finished. Not a bad spot but there are so many good ones in the neighborhood.“

“The BEST Sicilian square sourdough pizza on the planet 🌎 their sauce is organic and phenomenal, the cheese is wonderful, olives and if you feel like it Add some sausage, and the yummiest pecorino Romano shreds just topped it off. The crispiest crust and So incredibly digestible, because it’s sourdough. Sourdough is fermented and your gut loves fermented food… Love their little gem lettuce salad with their homemade dressing. Very simple here I think we ordered 3 square pies and of course brought some home The Sicilian squares heats up beautifully Just love OPS on Himrod Bushwick Brooklyn!!!! We brought our son who lives in Louisville and this time brought our daughter and boyfriend who live in San Diego and their rock star Pal who is on a tour with THE WHO. All give the square pizza A+ Excellent! The staff is warm and friendly!!!“

“Food first! Atmosphere quaint, Staff friendly, Owner was wonderful Spent time with Us & felt his ❤️ for his Flora. Highly recommended 👏“

“Great foods great staff. Bravo“

“Most authentic and best true Roman Italian food! Great atmosphere (light jazz in the background on a random Thursday night), truely engaging owner & professional wait staff. This is a treasure that should not be missed.“

“Shout-out to LUKE for making the Flyest and Dopest Siesta Cocktail around!!! A very pleasant, amiable, and dope Man! Not to mention, he's Handsome as hell! Watch out World!!!

To the Lovely ROSE who I met with my date as well!!! She suggested the Siesta Cocktail and it was truly on point!!! What a great team they have there!!! Hell Yeah!!!

It has a very intimate and sexy atmosphere as well. The perfect date spot!

We shall return!!!!

Thanks guys!!!“

“(Nov 2014) Uber cool high tech mod fitout and no shortage of opinionated beer nerds (complete with obligatory cult brewery t-shirts). Even at 2pm on a Sunday arvo. Doesn’t quite have the warm of a traditional US bar but still pretty friendly. Very international list with a focus on left of centre. Pricing on the high side but reflects the quality of the beers. Served via cabernet glasses - a nice touch. I really grew to like the place and they use a small space well. Can I say it reminds me of Two Row in Melbourne? And....btw....the only other bar I have ever seen where punters are punching out tasting notes!“

“Amazing food at this female owned neighborhood place with great vibe. It’s funky in a good way and all are welcome—no snotty Bushwick thing here. The cocktails and French fries are what hooked me, but try any of the specials or anything off the menu and you won’t be disappointed. Everything is delicious!“

“Great food... Great service. Highly recommend... 🤗“

“The cocktails are sharp. The natural wine knows what it’s doing. Dry plants, good shadows. The music’s loud enough to cover for you if you’re nervous. Which helps. The bar’s all elbows and leaning in. But the booths—that’s where it happens. Curved little velvet coves. You sit too close and knock knees if you want to. And you do.

Once, in one of these booths, someone handed me a Shohei Ohtani baseball card from Japan. Just passed it across the table like it was nothing. But it wasn’t. It felt like the start of a weird, great story. Maybe it was.“

“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!“

“We shared a salad and each had an egg sandwich. What might be rudimentary in the hands of another chef was unusual and special. Each bite popped with flavor and happy surprise at the imaginative mix of ingredients. Definitively want to return.“

“I have dinner here about once a month for easily the last year. The menu changes seasonally and the adjustments are always more delicious. It’s a local spot where you can get a spectacular cocktail and/or a good glass of wine + paired with the happy hour oysters: always strong contenders. 10/10 always recommend.“

“classy & hood small plares!“

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