50 Best Wine Bars in New York

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“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!“

“Great service from Anthony and the staff. Reasonable prices and street parking. Food was very good to match the wine selections. Atmosphere was cozy and easy to hear each other. Acoustics were great even though the wine bar was about 2/3 full.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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 💜💜💜💜“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Totally set up for safety great food and something special about this place and it’s owner.“

“I will be coming back immediately! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Shout out Stephanie - she let me charge my phone behind the bar and try the wines I was choosing between. And a beautiful outdoor seating area that was perfect for a Friday happy hour!“

“Great atmosphere - nice bar ware-great service.“

“Amelia outdid herself. Fast,friendly and a great sense of humor She's a pistol!“

“Lovely little place to have some wine and little bites or plates.
In Spain we are used to small places where you stay at the bar without sitting having dinner, a glass of wine or whatever; it was really nice having this experience in New York.

Food is good, wine as well, a bit expensive (portions are small… cheese board is a bit poor), but wait… it’s NYC it’s kind of normal.

The guys at the bar kind and smiley.

We enjoyed a lot our night and we were lucky to find a spot!“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“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!!!“

“Super good service from everyone working ! The orange wine was really good which surprised me because I’ve tried it before and didn’t love it how I loved this one. I had a small app something with truffle and it was DELICIOUS. Will be back“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Omg this place is amazing, if you are a truly new yorker or just visiting this place is wonderful wine and the atmosphere, especially if Remi is serving you, such an amazing soul complete the whole experience, definitely i will comeback with my best friends!!“

“We were there for the holiday market and came with awesome gifts at at an amazing price. The wine list was superb as one would expect. the cabbage caesar salad was done nicely; the pumpkin burrata was good but seemed to be missing something. the hangar steak with sweet potatoes was cooked perfectly.“

“Fantastic service and wonderful wines!!“

“Cork Soho is a place with such a wonderful atmosphere - you immediately feel at home. Great wine selection for all tastes, delicious cheeses and charcuterie and the most attentive service. The place is stylish, hip and cozy at the same time. You truly don’t want to leave.“

“Sunday night bartender was incredible. It was pretty quiet inside so they were able to walk us through beers they thought we might like; I definitely have some new favorites! The bar itself was great; Grown up punk-rock vibe with a projection movie on the wall. Prices were very reasonable and the soft pretzel gave me life.

There isn't a big sign outside so look for the glass door with a black antler handle!“
