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)!“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“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!“

“Amazing food, great service and knowledgeable staff! Definitely recommend for vegans and non-vegans alike. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Have been here twice with my family. Some great variety and flavors to explore here. The simple yet diverse menu made it a perfect experience to try multiple dishes for decent prices for each dish.

Personally, the Chicken Liver Agnolotti is a highlight on the menu. Very rich, creamy liver inside the pasta with a delightful sauce. The portion/pasta size is a bit small, but packs so much flavor, so I definitely recommend it! If you want to share, you might want to get 2, or choose more options in addition.

The Dover Sole was incredible as well! A little pricey, however, the fish was excellently cooked and seasoned, and the citrusy sauce complimented it very well. I appreciated that I received a thick filet portion of fish. As it is only the fish on the menu without sides; the optional sides of Potatoes and Broccoli & Peppers are fairly basic preparation, but add simple starch and veggie pairing with the fish if desired.

What I appreciated during my time there was the attention to detail by the staff. Very considerate and attentive and our waitress was very helpful in offering recommendations and answering questions I had.

The open kitchen makes it a very unique and intimate atmosphere. It is quite dim in there, so it does become harder to navigate the menu if eyesight is an issue. However, I will definitely be back and experience what more there is to offer here!“

“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“

“The home of hospitality - this is a family owned and run spot in Little Italy! Very well loved and an amazing selection of wines for anyone who is a local or visitor

My favorites the balsamic Negroni and il Lombardo. For the espresso martini lover, these guys make the best one in town“

“Amazing experience . Great hospitality and amazing food“

“A chic and unique wine bar featuring chocolate pairing.
Don't let the name fool you - there's also quite a bit to eat here...

We actually came for a night cap - had the must-have chocolate martinis, hazelnut and raspberry, both were delicious.
We also had a cheese platter and a fondue eith fruit, marshmallows and rice crispies.

While the cocktails were stellar - the rest was rather forgettable.
But it does feel like the unique combination of chocolate and wine should be enjoyed here.

All in all, a very recommended place for the lovers of both wine and chocolate.“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“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 walked in, there were no tables in the restaurant but we were given a table in the bar area (which was completely fine and we appreciated it!).

It was very busy but the staff were amazing. They gave us recommendations on meals and also made drinks that weren’t on the menu.

We had the burger which was very nice and the fries were amazing.

The crispy potatoes and shishitos and also crispy prawns. Everything was amazing.

Would definitely recommend“

“Musette is an ideal spot that effortlessly shifts from day to night. During the day, it’s a warm and inviting coffee shop that’s perfect for getting work done. Come evening, it becomes a stylish wine bar with an unbeatable atmosphere. The wine flights are a highlight perfect for sampling a variety of wines. The staff are knowledgeable and always ready with excellent suggestions. Their pinchos, burrata, pastries, coffee and curated wine list never disappoint. Musette consistently hits the mark.“

“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!“

“I’ve been to Jadi’s a few times for dinner/drinks and again this past week for a hosted dinner for my birthday. I can honestly say the staff, food, and overall experience at Jadi’s NEVER disappoints. Edit (the owner) is so kind and knowledgeable for hosting events/dinners and they have great options to accommodate gluten free or other allergies whether you’re there for a regular meal or planning a special night!! Cannot recommend enough to come for a night out with friends or a date night!!“

“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 such a gem in the neighborhood! It has great vibes, music, and (most importantly) the best staff! Isabel, Jacob, Manny, and David are fantastic. We’ve discovered so many new wines, and love bringing friends & family from out of town.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Super Cody atmosphere with great wine selection“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🤤😄“

“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.“

“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 💜💜💜💜“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“This restaurant has the best service I’ve experienced in a long time. Our server was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. He name is Jamil! They offered helpful suggestions, checked in regularly, and made us feel welcome. The food was also fantastic, and the overall atmosphere was warm and comfortable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent service and a great dining experience.“

“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.“

“Loredana is the best!! She is very knowledgeable and fun.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“
