50 Best Wine Bars in Brooklyn

“For us, the food was hit or miss. Right from the start, the Sardine toast was the star of the night, then there was aRazor clam special, which was 50/50... the clams were great, but we didn't prefer the melon taste to the dressing. After that, we had the mortadella and sourdough. Both were very good. Ate that we had the snap pea salad and the mitake mushrooms with garlic fudge. Again, both were excellent. It was the mains that just fell apart for us. The bucatini had slices of squash on top that were dry, and a bit too much basil, which overpowered the dish. Other than the basil, it was lacking in flavor. The other main was the hake and risotto. While the risotto was heavily citrussed, almost too much so, it was still tasty, but the fish, again, lacked flavor/ seasoning/ salt. Overall, the meal was a 3.5, but we bumped it to a 4, because worth the omission of the mains, it could have been a 4.5-5.“

“Loved this place! I went with my friend for brunch, and it was a blast! The drinks were perfect, and the food was even better. I had the Eggs Norwegian, and it was amazing. The greens that came with this dish were not generic mesclun mix greens, which I appreciated. They perfectly complemented the dish, this is little but I appreciate the details. Our server was very kind, just enough bubbly and accommodating.“

“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!“

“When the lights dim in Liar Lair you know you are in for a great night. The waitress, had a boundless familiarity with the wine list, which made each spore delicious than the last. The tunes soothed me into a sense of security that I hadn't felt since my bathroom trip that very night, which was accompanied by an old timey crackling radio which only added to the washrooms ambience.

Small things make a big difference. And Liar Lair has the small things down to a tee.

Give Geneva a raise !“

“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!“

“Such a cute spot! We sat at the bar and ordered the tomato pie and fennel sausage pizza, and both were so good. I also got the stone fruit spritz, which was delicious and the perfect drink to go with everything.

Joey was amazing, and we especially appreciated his wine knowledge and recommendations. Such a fun atmosphere with great food and drinks. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“With Others is my favorite win bar in the neighborhood 🥹, and every time I walk in I feel right at home. The wine selection is thoughtfully curated, always something interesting to discover, and the team is great at pointing you toward a bottle you’ll love. The food is on point too, with the same attention to detail that runs through everything they do. Shout out to Shanna, Keith, and the whole team for making it such a special place!!!“

“Gia was an absolutely GEM to my friend and I — felt like getting drinks at your favorite friend’s place where they knew exactly what you’d love and what you needed to be drinking. Highly recommend and will 100% be returning“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“Super Cody atmosphere with great wine selection“

“Wonderful spot to catch up with friends. Had a great time trying new wines and tasty snacks. The owner is super friendly and really appreciated the time she spent answering our questions and sharing her knowledge about wines.We'll be back for sure!“

“Incredible experience from the moment you walk in. You're welcomed with warm hospitality, the food is creative and absolutely delicious, the cocktails are excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect. A true French bistro gem in Brooklyn. Highly recommend!“

“We had an informal baby shower drop-in at Pinkerton recently and it was the best experience. The manager and owner were so helpful before hand - helping me figure out the menu, ordering a few non-alc wines, make sense of the space - and then were accommodating, gracious, and so responsive during the event. And the food, atmosphere, music, was perfect.“

“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!“

“Came here for brunch. I got the BLT and my friend got the Turkish Eggs, and we shared a green salad. I also ordered a Hugo Spritz to drink.

The decor is beautiful and the food is good. The service was fine. My drink was way too flat. I could tell the champagne in it was old. My other issue is with the prices. I paid $25 for a BLT and it came with nothing (I had to order fries separately). I guess the area is kind of expensive but I still think $25 for a plain sandwich is unnecessary (and you can see how small the sandwich is).“

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

“Had an exceptional meal at Luya. The service, food and vibe were awesome and made two adults and a month old baby feel extremely welcome. Would recommend to anybody looking for date night or simply seeking really great quality sushi and omakase in the neighborhood. Their cocktails and drink menu are stellar and worthy of their own positive comment.“

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

“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!!!“

“Always love this spot. Had my birthday dinner here for ~22 people and they were awesome start to finish. Super helpful picking out menu, drinks, etc. The staff and space are both amazing. All of the food is delicious and the drinks are fun. The boozy affogatos are out of this world. Everyone is still talking about how much fun they had and how good the pizza was. Can never go wrong with Bar Birba! Perfect date night spot as well.“

“Found such a cute Spanish tapas spot by the waterfront in Williamsburg ～

The vibe is amazing and their Happy Hour tapas are such a good deal! Highly recommend the bone marrow, San Sebastian prawns, and grilled dorade， everything was so good!

Perfect for dinner, then a walk around Domino Park with beautiful Manhattan views！

Definitely coming back！“

“Nice place food uffff recomendado“

“Food and service were outstanding“

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

“Bouquet has easily become my favorite spot. Every person on the staff is warm, thoughtful, & welcoming, & there’s a familiarity to the space that makes it feel like home.

As a native NYer, there’s something beautiful about finding a place that feels deeply rooted in the neighborhood while still feeling transient. On any given night, you might find yourself sharing a glass or a conversation across the bar or table with someone from across the city or across the world.

The food is immaculate, the wine selection never misses, & the staff is intentional in being sommeliers & knowing their stuff. The owner is the coolest & makes every recommendation feels considered regardless of if you know exactly what you like, want to try something new, or are learning sip by sip.

Bouquet feels like the kind of place New York is meant to have. A neighborhood home filled with good food, beautiful wine, familiar faces, & people passing through from everywhere.“

“Great night of friends, family and wine!“

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

“One of the best breakfast spots in Park Slope. The food is consistently fresh, portions are generous, and it has that relaxed neighborhood atmosphere that makes it perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch.

My favorite is definitely the Eggs Benedict — always satisfying, well prepared, and one of those dishes I keep ordering instead of trying something new. They have plenty of other great breakfast options too, but the Benedict keeps bringing me back.

Great food, friendly service, and an easygoing atmosphere. Definitely one of my go-to places when I want a proper breakfast in the neighborhood.“

“I love this place so much- I love seeing locals coming together, and I appreciate all the hard work that stuff put in. Still, I think locals, especially those who have reading nights, could’ve been more appreciative of the place and the staff, ordered more drinks, and left more tips while they occupied the whole space for over 3 hours. We should really make this place go and thrive because we don’t have many in the area.“

“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!!“

“Che is like home away from home. It is everything you want in a cafe / wine bar. Incredible breakfast sandwich - ON LOCK! Delicious crunchy unique wines?! FOR DAYS! Interesting cocktails and classics alike - YES! Also do you want to experience food made with love?! It is a truly special place with care and intention put into every single detail. But the thing that makes it the best is the people who run it. They are beautiful inside and out, wildly talented, and foster community in a special way. 100000/10 recommend.“

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

“Experimentar o Amaro é uma experiência divertida!“

“Love this local wine bar! Great wine options with natural wine that actually tastes good. Some tasty bites as well. The indoor vibe is really cozy and welcoming and of course on nice days the outdoor space is perfect.

Happy hour 3-6 $8 house natural wine, $4 beer and $48 carafes“

“Always perfect Classy friendly smart delicious.“

“Incredible food - one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The chefs are phenomenal and very personable. I recently ate at Le Bernadin and the food at Pearl rivaled Le Bernadin’s. Highly recommended! I really can’t say enough good things about this place.“

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

“I met a friend here a couple times for their Spritz party. Great selection of Spritz’s and tapas that are easily shareable. They played great music that really set the vibe and service was very attentive without being overbearing (a plus for me!). I can see this place being a neighborhood gem in the near future! Highly recommend for cocktails with friends.“

“The hot dogs are really tasty, and bartenders super nice and attentive. The band was great too! All around cozy atmosphere and a lot of people on dates. I mainly came because I was craving a veggie dog, but they’re a great spot to have in the neighborhood, and I’ll be back.“

“Nice place, good food, great service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Is Greenpoint Brooklyn & Queens?

It’s hard for me to make friends. I’m still learning how to socialize. I’ve been watching monkey videos to understand human behavior.

I’m exploring the community through the scope of a pedestrian.

Greenpoint it’s an escape destination. Still has the charm of small neighborhood Queens & just far enough from the manufactured hipster thing.

I ended up paying for my last ride but the point of the bike Angels game is to end in a net positive ride. It’s the same theory as counting calories when dieting. But you want to be dropping off bikes where they are needed to balance the system.

It’s based on a branch of mathematics called game theory. I have adhd and have been trying to learn machine learning on YouTube.“

“I’m a long time fan of Bees Knees. Best place ever!
Find this perfect hideaway with the most delicious selection of cheese and wine. Among other deliciousness. Did I mention it was delcious?! lol And they have an adorable outdoor area!“

“The true gem of Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy. No better hub for authentic community love, creative inspiration and support, and fidelity to quality in all areas— from the coffee, to the food, and the music... And a special shout out to the best weekly comedy show in Brooklyn, also hosted at Commune, Muddy Waters, which does nothing but produce the finest comedic lineups to heal us all via brilliant rising comic stars helping us make sense of and navigate together this beautifully chaotic urban jungle we live in“

“This place is cozy and makes for a nice place to go out with friends, dates or even alone! I went in by myself and tried their banh mi, which despite not being like what you would find in a typical Vietnamese spot, was super tasty and I highly recommend it. Use my photo as evidence of how good it is, I ate half of it before I finally took a photo, haha. The bread itself was soft, it tasted fresh, and the filling wasn't overly spicy or bland, it was just right. The baked goods looked tempting and I might have to try them next time.

Service wise, they're great. The staff will let you know how long you'll wait for items and they are good at what they do, both in the front facing customers and in the back prepping.“

“As someone who frequents many Brooklyn establishments I am proud to call Whoopsie Daisy my home bar. I’ve been privileged to get to know the staff during their time in the neighborhood and love to recommend this spot to my friends who are looking for a fun wine bar experience. The outside area is to die for during the summer and the community they have built by incorporating other local businesses on the daily is why each time I walk in it’s a a treat.

Tell them Jo sent you . It won’t do anything but still tell them !“

“Million Goods is the best place to go in Brooklyn if you're trying to get high vibes in a great atmosphere. Stop by for a wine and all of the staff are top tier. Grab a shirt or some pants from some high quality fashion finds that you can't get anywhere else. A must-go any time you're in Brooklyn!“
