50 Best Wine Bars near Forest Hills

“Great everything. Food, service, drinks. I have nothing negative to say.“

“Amazing“

“Incredible cocktails and food in a lovely setting with great vibes. Went for a light bite and some drinks. Service was warm, attentive and friendly as well. The Pandan Punch was honestly the best cocktail I’ve had to date! Excited to return to try more entrees.“

“Some of the best seafood in the city comes from the PdF kitchen and everything else, especially the desserts, are great as well. The price lends itself to a special occasion but it’s worth stopping by even to just enjoy some great cocktails, the strong Spanish-focused wine program, or some exciting after dinner drinks. One of my favorite spots in NYC.“

“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!“

“Great lunch. Excellent service.“

“Wine and food were curated with full intention and proper discernment, and I so appreciated that. In execution the lamb skewers were great but maybe a little overdone but sooo yummy with the pickled onions. I’m coming back. Thank you, Luke, who advised me on my pairing tonight.“

“I love Le Crocodile for breakfast. Juan was super kind helping me with my tea and coffee order. For me, I love how calming and beautiful the environment is. Most of the all the staff ( Tak included!). I go regularly and enjoy it every time.“

“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.“

“The food and service is amazing. We did the a la carte menu and had the wagyu pancit and the lechon. The noodle were delicious, we could have done a second order, but we had to leave room for the pork belly with crispy skin. Drinks were amazing too. We will definitely be back.“

“AMAZING wine bar ! Must check it out!!“

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

“Comfortable place to catch a breakfast bite, plus they serve beer & cocktails“

“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.“

“We went to Cecily for an event in June, and got to try some of their dishes.

The inside is a bit smaller than I thought, or it is more of an obscure dining room shape. They have a fully stocked bar, and a super friendly and talented bartender.

We had a few cocktails; Pink Panther, Cecily Manhattan, and Passenger Pigeon. The Pink Panther was not pink as I had hoped, but it was tasty. Fruity and elegantly sweet, really nice cocktail. Cecily Manhattan was strong, reminded me of Old Fashion. A nice, relaxing drink in the evening. Passenger Pigeon was aromatic and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness.

Food we tried:
Grilled Scallops had a great aroma of the yuzu. They were plump and soft, perfect texture, delicious!
Little Gem Caesar was super fresh. The piparra pepper had a nice little kick, Anchovies gave bold flavor and added texture.
Mussel Toast was divine! Garlic aioli is the bomb, while chili butter gives subtle kick that is so delightful.
Half Roasted Chicken was super moist, and packed with flavor. So tender, easy to cut with butter knife. It had crispy exterior, each bite was amazing.

For dessert, we had Mom’s Strawberry Cake. It was magically delicious. I believe they added strawberry compote into the whipped cream, making it extra flavorful and tasty. It had loads of fresh strawberry compote under the cream.

The staffs were nice, they took a really good care of us during the event. The drinks and food were great, we enjoyed them all. This is such a neighborhood gem, we would love to go back again in a near future to try more of their dishes!“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Recently hosted an engagement party here for 30 people and I could not be happier! The team was super accommodating and created a perfect vibe. They allowed us to bring in decorations, connect to their speak system and set a menu of delicious appetizers. The food and wine were absolutely delicious! This place is a gem!“

“Very hip wine bar & osteria in Crown Heights. All Italian natural wines served by the glass. First you tell the staff what you're in the mood for and then you get to sample some amazing wines. The pastas are authentic and locally sourced. Highly recommend.“

“Sexy upscale, yet relaxed wine bar with neighborhood-local clientele and prices. The bar is usually packed with couples out on a casual date night and small groups meeting for an after-work drink. They don't have a full kitchen, but their food menu would have you fooled. I'm partial to their flatbreads and charcuterie board. The staff is knowledgeable and warm, and are always willing to help you find a glass of wine that speaks to you. Really top-notch service. They have a habit of maintaining an excellent music playlist, and always making sure the vibe is *just right*.“

“It’s such a pleasant surprise to find a restaurant like this at the airport. Since there’s only one staff member, you might need to look for them for a bit, but they’re very patient and attentive. We ordered a pizza that wasn’t on the menu, but after some discussion, the chef kindly made it for us—much appreciated! Oh, and their fries are fresh and delicious too.“

“Tavern 157 is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a cozy ambiance that perfectly balanced charm and sophistication.

Every dish was great. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was evident. Pair that with their impressive drink selection--especially their sangria--and you have an evening to remember.

The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made fantastic recommendations. They made us feel like we were the only table in the house, even though the place was buzzing.

Tavern 157 is the perfect spot for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or just indulging in amazing food. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. A true five-star experience!“

“We celebrated my daughter's 21st here. It was perfect! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating to our party of 13. The drinks were delicious, the chocolate divine! The atmosphere was festive. Everyone had a delightful time. We will return.

Dietary restrictions: The staff was very considerate and accommodating about the nut allergy.“

“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!“

“Wow. You guys… I’ve been going to the Sauced east village for a couple and tonight was my first night checking out their location on Bedford… let me just say, not only was the selection incredible, staff Mika, Isa and Rae went above and beyond to create a special night for me and my fiancée. Tasteful holiday decor, impeccable vibes, personal yet professional service — now that’s hospitality. I’ll be back this weekend!“

“We had an amazing time at this cozy wine bar! Perfect moody atmosphere for a date, and the staff made us feel completely at home. The food was on point, and the wine selection was just right. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a chill yet special evening!“

“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 🤤😄“

“We ABSOLUTELY loved it. The food was fantastic so delicious especially mama’s bread!! The wines were divine 🍷 🍷 😋 The owner was gracious and the service was awesome- we will be back!!“

“Great location and very intimate setting/decor. Very classy and friendly service. Modern French cuisine is delicious and trendy; it is much better than the traditional French food, which is getting old and tired. Good selection of fine wines.“

“A most wonderful atmosphere, outstanding service by Mickael, and incredible wine 🍷 list. It’s on our must visit list when in the East Village! Highly recommended indeed!!!“

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

“Happy Cooking does it again! Very special restaurant that will be my goto after BAM shows. They got range, baby! From one of the best executions of a Caesar salad I have ever had to an inventive mussel toast dish that smacks and crunches. As usual, the space, the staff, even the music choices are pitch perfect. But it really comes down to the people. Happy staff at happy cooking = awesome.“

“This place feels like coming home to your favorite cozy spot that always hits just right. I've been here for date nights and catching up w friends- a perfect place for both. It's such an ideal NYC neighborhood hangout- the food is ALWAYS outstanding, and the ambience (think cool jazz tunes, no tvs) is exactly what I need after a long overstimulated day.“

“Very chic city atmosphere with a beautiful bar & dining area indoors. The food and service was outstanding.“

“Highly Recommended !🙌🏻 ❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice little spot with very good service and great wine selection. The appetizer dips and smoked trout were really good and so was the spatzle. The enoki schnitzel was a bit like eating shoe leather, but everything else was really good, and we aren't vegetarians.“

“atmosphere: serving speakeasy energy…a place for revolutionary thinkers with unique style, the movers and shakers of society…

impressed by the cleanliness and design

my friends with sensitivities to chemicals enjoy the natural wine“

“I'm really surprised that this place doesn't have more reviews, as it is really a nice option for a wine bar in the area.

The vibe is on point for what you'd want here. It is connected to a wine store and they really do seem to pay attention overall to the theme (especially in the bathroom with their decor/plants, which is always a huge plus to me!).

Their glass menu is reasonable/not overwhelming and fairly priced. I was a skosh disappointed that 2/3 of the chilled reds they did not have (especially since they're connected to a wine store...like why not just stock a different chilled red?). But the waitress was super nice and talked us through some other options and also bonded with us while we sat at the bar.

They don't have a happy hour which would be a bit of a draw, but the prices overall again aren't so tough. We grabbed some bar seats right when they opened but I can imagine that the tables get a bit overwhelming given how close together/small they are.“

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

“It's a fab atmosphere, the only thing is you feel a little rushed as there is always a queue waiting to get in so they get you out as quick as possible ready for the next people and I would also say food is slightly overpriced saying that's I've now been twice and wounded go again.“

“Yingtao offers an elevated dining experience, honoring the owner’s grandmother with both its name and the thoughtful approach to each dish. The restaurant’s sleek, modern interior and open kitchen immediately impress upon entry. The tasting menu is a carefully curated array of dishes with refined flavors, with the duck, toast, foie gras, and nian gao standing out as memorable highlights. The flavors here are subtly layered and delicate, showcasing a restrained elegance that even extends to the desserts, which are perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Service at Yingtao is exceptional, among the best I’ve encountered. The front-of-house team is attentive and professional, and a special mention goes to Ria, whose deep knowledge of the menu enriched my experience by offering thoughtful insights and explanations. Yingtao is a beautiful homage to family and fine dining—a truly refined experience that’s well worth a visit.“

“I was looking for a place for a special celebration, being Friday night I thought it would be more difficult for me to find a place in the area without having reserved. Here they had free space and the atmosphere was pleasant, the musical selection was excellent and also the cocktails were very original, I recommend the mango one with a spicy touch.

Vegetarian options: There were several dishes for vegetarians, both snacks and main dishes.“

“Great owners fun atmosphere good food and drinks“

“Amazing customer service, fantastic date night ambiance or a great place to unwind after a long day or catch-up with friends. If you haven’t been there, it’s time!“

“All the drinks and food were satisfying. The menu, thoughtfully selected by an expert chef from prestigious Citarella Gourmet Market, delivered an incredible sense of satisfaction and sophistication, rarely found in a small bar. The reasonable prices brought even more satisfaction. Whether it's the weekend or any other time, if you're looking to enjoy a drink in a luxurious and pleasant atmosphere, there's no need to go all the way to Manhattan. This is exactly the place you've been search“

“Great night of friends, family and wine!“
