Had a great time here! Very cute space with a great selection of drinks + food, I loved the variety. Our waitress (I think Morgan) was also so kind and friendly and was able to recommend me a wine that I really enjoyed! Will def be coming back!!

Service was attentive but not intruding, excellent check-in pacing. The fries were top tier which is surprising from a wine bar, a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere is buzzy, but a little loud for casual conversation. The selection is expansive and the server guided me through it well and I discovered a couple of wines I may not have otherwise. Cheers!

Came here for a pre-dinner drink on graduation night and it was perfect. Great cocktails, lovely wine, and the kindest, most thoughtful service. Can’t wait to come back for dinner.

Loved the service at this cute wine bar. Tasted a few before committing to our bottle and it was fun!
Also the server described the fries as elevated McDonalds and that was accurate. So good.

Had a nice experience when I visited with my boyfriend the first two times with the morning shift staff members one of them currently don’t work there anymore so they replaced her with another woman which made a very inappropriate comment on how much she got tipped. We got very harsh looks from some of the workers after and we felt that the environment became very hostile after she made the inappropriate comment. We have been there and tipped other waiters more than the minimum for doing what they were supposed to do. She did less than what her job was and there were multiple people taking care of us not just her so to ask us to adjust our tip for you because you didn’t like the percentage is crazy! Very racist, because we were the only ones treated that way today !

the vibes are SO GOOD. there’s a good amount of bar and table seating. awesome wine selection and they let you taste a little before you commit to a glass. def want to be back
Temperance Wine Bar is a true gem! This enchanting spot boasts an incredible, well-curated wine list that caters to every palate. With a focus on natural wines, organic options, and contemporary flavors, there's something for everyone to discover.
The food is equally impressive, with tasty small plates that perfectly complement the extensive wine selection.
The ambiance is cool and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a night out with friends or a romantic evening.
What truly sets Temperance apart, however, is the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their expertise and passion for wine are evident, and they're always happy to guide you through the menu.
Highly recommended for wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike! Temperance Wine Bar is an absolute must-visit destination.

Friend and I caught the tail end of happy hour on a Thursday. Our waitress was fantastic and helped tremendously with wine selection. We gave her a few flavor profiles we were both interested in and she came back with two amazing options. We ended up splitting a bottle. Unfortunately I cannot remember what it was, but it was delicious and I don’t have a hangover :).
We also split the steak tartare and this was some of the best I’ve had!!! I wanted to order 5 more plates.
Such a good spot for a chill night with good eats and drinks. Would love to come in and read a book for a few hours here or come do a wine tasting event.

Great place for some wine and good times. Very interesting and diverse wine list. We only tried a few snacks, but the bitterballen were really good - sending all my Dutch and Belgian friends in NYc here now!

This is such a cute wine bar. It’s one of my favorite places to come and hangout if we have extra time in the West Village. They have such an amazing selection of wines from all over the world. Temperance was one of the few places that carried multiple types of Orange wine before it became popular. They are also able to do wine flights.
I also love their snacks. They compliment the wine so well and they have a lot of variety for vegetarians.
The ambiance here is also casual elegance which is perfect. They also have seating outside which is so nice especially during a summer afternoon.
Service: Aida was so nice and helpful.

Found my way over here while in the area and was very charmed, both by the overall atmosphere and the great selection of drinks. Love the way they had a section of staff recommendations with great descriptions of the wine to make them come alive.
