50 Best Wine Bars near East Elmhurst

“I thoroughly enjoyed my food..service and ambiance today. The food was scrumptious and the staff was courteous. I have one minor issue my table was facing the kitchen and my inquisitive nature kept looking in. I must say the kitchen was clean and organized. Overall I give my experience 9/10.“

“Great food, great service (Danny is the best)!“

“Food is amazing! Service goes above and beyond. Had the uni soba, truffle gnocchi, and the pork chop. Both noodle dishes were on the smaller side, but definitely worth every cent. The pork chop was massive, definitely would recommend sharing it.“

“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“

“Love this please try the tasting menu with friends so delicious!“

“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!“

“Awesome music, very good wine knowledge and fresh food to die for.“

“A charming gem in the West Village with that quintessential neighborhood feel. The team here was warm and engaging, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The intimate setup makes it great for a date or catching up with friends, and both the cocktails and wine list were excellent. What stood out most, though, was the creativity in the dishes, each one felt thoughtfully put together and seasonal. Recommend the black sea bass ceviche.“

“The food is elite. High quality Italian at a reasonable price. Great atmosphere and service. Plus a great playlist softly played in the background. You need to make a stop here if in the mood for Italian.“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“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 went here for my birthday dinner and I just wanna say from the start. The interior of this place is adorable. It is super cozy feels almost like a very rustic cavity. Feel kitchen is wide open for you to see everything that we were cooking which I love I had pretty high hopes walking in here and it has a pretty good reputation. They also own the sister restaurant a penny upstairs who I think has one of the best desserts in New York City so I put this place pretty high on my expectations.

Everything my hand was decently good it was good. Nothing was mind blowing though. The pit was a starter. It was strong good portion for you get for pate and went great on the bread

The jamon or prosciutto was also really strong and delicious. However, after that, I forgot what these dishes were I can’t even name them looking at the pictures anymore. The pasta was decent. The problem is after I left this place. I almost forgot this meal totally if it wasn’t for the atmosphere. It wasn’t for the space that I loved so much. It would’ve been quite forgettable for me.

Of course, the one of the most famous things they have. Here is the chocolate cake. It is huge decadent delicious I’m not really a chocolate cake person and we definitely have to take home, but I really love eating it the next two days.

I do remember also having some kind of steak with blueberries on it. It felt great Thanksgiving and I don’t know it’s like berries on my steaks personal choice. It’s a personal choice.“

“amazing for apéro - Highlighting that the cheese plate was $22 with only one piece of cow’s milk cheese that was delicious, but not a sufficient cheese plate for that price!

Overall, very good wine and good appetizers but with small portions. Bread was good“

“We stumbled into C. di Palo today and it turned into one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. This tiny, unassuming spot near Little Italy is truly a treasure. We tried five of their incredible cheeses — each one unique and delicious — and they helped pair the perfect wine for me and a fantastic beer for my husband.

The owner is the sweetest gentleman, full of knowledge about Italian wine and fine cheeses. He took the time to chat with us, sharing stories and teaching us about the different regions and traditions behind what we were tasting. It felt like a personal tour of Italy right from the counter!

If you love authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and discovering local “hole-in-the-wall” gems, this place is a must-visit. We would recommend this to anyone visiting New York and wanting a glass of wine and charcuterie and authentic Italian experience. Also this Italian family just celebrated their 100th year of business!!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Musette celebrating my husband’s birthday! They were very accommodating for our group of six, but I strongly recommend making a reservation!The evening felt easy and enjoyable from start to finish. The wine flights were excellent and a fun way to try a variety of options. Both the Musette flatbread and the salmon flatbread were absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. On top of that, the service was fast, friendly, and attentive, which really made the night special. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you Musette Team!“

“Omg, where do I begin….

The ambience and vibe amazing!!! Food was delicious, drinks were fabulous. Had a cheeseburger, included was melted cheddar cheese and mushrooms. Also came with a salad which was sooo good. This place made thee best chocolate martini.

Olivia, the server was also amazing, so sweet and attentive. She made the experience even better, couldn’t have been happier. And the bathroom was very clean and smelled so good with a scented candle.

You will not be disappointed…. So happy my manager recommended this place.“

“Absolutely exceeded our expectations. We went on a whim. Greeted with lots of warm affection when we came in and they kept bringing amazing food to the table with great explanations on what everything was. Literally everything they served was fantastic.“

“This wine bar is AWESOME! We had sooo much fun; Food was OUTSTANDING and of course the wine was great as well! Great VIBE... Definitely will be back ... ***** 5 Stars!“

“This was the most delicious Georgian food I’ve had since I was in Georgia. Our server, Marite, was a delight. She made wonderful wine recommendations. We will definitely eat here again.“

“We had a great time here with our daughter and her significant other. There was a great selection variety of happy hour small plates and wines/cocktails and we ordered additional regular menu it items as well as a bottle of wine, which was only $60. We had a "window" seat which gave us some privacy and the wait staff was outstanding.“

“Such a hospitable team!! We walked in without a reservation and were told they had a spot for us but had a reservation coming in 30 mins. They immediately made us feel welcome and even made us feel comfortable and confident we could order a few plates of food in that time. We ordered three plates that all came out quickly with enough time for us to enjoy. Every plate was uniquely Lei, perfectly balanced and seasoned.
It was a quick visit but I’m already looking forward to my return“

“Vanguard is an absolute gem just steps away from the chaos of Times Square. Tucked on a quiet corner, it feels like slipping into a little dream world — warm, cozy, and instantly welcoming. The atmosphere is intimate without being stuffy, the kind of place where you can actually hear the person you’re with, relax, and just enjoy your glass of wine.

The service was truly outstanding: kind, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful without ever feeling pushy. You can tell they care about what they’re pouring and about making you feel at home. It’s the perfect spot to escape the noise, sip something delicious, and slow down for a moment in the middle of NYC. I’d come back in a heartbeat — Vanguard is the kind of place you almost don’t want to share so it stays your little secret.“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“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!“

“The place is a vibe. The atmosphere and esthetics is everything. It has a great vintage, cozy, bookstore mature feels with these bold eclectic open frames. Food is good. Well presented but lacks flavor. Where the food lacks in the drinks make up in style. Service is attentive but not amazing. Overall. Great time. Great vibes. Would recommend and go again for the feel, not the food.“

“Super Cody atmosphere with great wine selection“

“Just the best. Favorite wine bar in the world, bar none (no pun intended… maybe a little though). Up until coming here for the first time four years ago, I was largely tepid (at best) when it came to wine. Then their incredible selection opened up a whole new door to wine I didn’t even know existed. Turns out, Eastern/central European wines are my favorite, and their thoughtfully curated menu never has any shortage of options to try and fall in love with. Bummed they don’t have their covid-era outdoor patio situation anymore, but thats obviously not that deep. Staff/somms are so kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and personable especially to chit chat with about wine or, like, anything else. Big thanks and love to them for helping me figure out what wine is my vibe. I love Ruffian always forever.“

“I did my 25th birthday celebration here and it was perfect! The staff was extremely attentive and made sure my guest and I were well taken care of the entire evening. The food and wine was delicious. If you are thinking about having an intimate event here, do it!!“

“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.“

“Overall rating: 4.8

My friend took me to this place for after-work drinks and it’s such a cute spot for the area. While the wine was tasty & the staff was so nice, no happy hour? Not even a small one? Cmon.

Definitely want to come back for a date if I’m in the area.“

“Amazing food and very friendly! Our waiter was a hoot and made the atmosphere even more entertaining and inviting. Thanks for showing this Tennessee gal- your Mediterranean ways 🤤😄“

“One of the of absolute best places we visit in Manhattan, super cute and charming. Incredibly friendly staff and very delicious drinks. The decor is super cute and my whole experience there was great 💜💜💜💜“

“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“

“best place to enjoy wine and food. Friendly environment and staff! Highly recommended!“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“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.“

“There were no alligators in sight, unfortunately, but the service was excellent. Emma and Lena (I think) were very welcoming. I was the first drip coffee order of the day (this was around 4pm), but they were still accommodating. Convenient location, a crisp air temperature, a carefully curated bookshop. Bread upon request. Also milk and/or cream upon request. And bathroom upon request. Good service, whether requested or not. Would recommend“

“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!“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“Excellent food at fair prices and truly outstanding service. We felt well cared for throughout the meal without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The staff combine professionalism with a warm, relaxed attitude that makes the experience especially pleasant. Shout-out to the hamachi and shrimp raviolo, really delicious.“

“Food service and wine was amazing. Thanks guys!!“

“My friend and I were there for Bastille Day! Such a cute place, intimate and cozy. Fantastic wine list and food wars delish. Extremely friendly staff. Would totally come back.“

“We were walking the neighborhood, looking for an in-between meal. We walked in LelaBar and they were kind enough to let us in, even though we were a couple minutes early. The charcuterie and cheese bread were delicious, and exactly what we were looking for. The bartender was super nice and it felt very homey inside. Thanks for a great meal!“

“My favorite wine bar in New York — St Jardim is a triple threat of great food & drink, atmosphere, and service. I inquired about hosting a birthday event here back in 2021 and they were highly accommodating of the request, going above and beyond to service us and make it one of my most memorable birthdays. Great place for brunch, dinner, drinks, and everything in between — a true institution over the years that I will continue to frequent!“

“Loved the food and cocktail menu. You can tell that the establishment knows their food, wine, etc and it comes off in the drinks and food!“

“Wow! While waiting for my dinner reservation, I googled Wine Bars near me and Brick came up as an option. With such great reviews, I had to try and it didn't disappoint.

Fernando was beyond friendly and helpful. A great selection of wine and the goat cheese was on point.

This is an unpretentious wine bar where you feel comfortable. Service was great without being overbearing. I loved it!“

“freakin awesome spot! they treat you like Famiky.. Bogart keeping the place safe and fun, Carlos mixing the most tastiest
cocktails (i had an old fashioned where Carlitos brought the smoke!!) and Chef steve filling that empty
void in your stomach. we cant wait to see you all again!“
