50 Best Wine Bars in New York

“Amazing experience . Great hospitality and amazing food“

“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.“

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

“Came here for a birthday dinner and we were truly wowed start to finish.

The service was wonderful and had an ease about it that never felt overbearing or rushed.

Every single bite was amazing but our standouts were the agnolotti, the beet salad, and the roast chicken.

Truly no missteps though and we will be back for sure.“

“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.“

“Took a chance on Justine’s after reading about it in TimeOut. Had some friends in town from the UK. What a fantastic meal and evening we had. The food was incredible. The fusion of flavors, the delicate and meticulous work, the presentation; all truly excellent. And their wine list is equally impressive. The staff were all really lovely. The place is small, so I do advise making a reservation. Sit in the corner window table if you can! It’s delightful. The menu is seasonal, so what I posted may not be on the menu when you dine. Already been recommending Justine’s to friends. Go check it out!“

“სასიამოვნო ინტრიერი, მეგობრული გარემო, უგემრიელესი კერძები.. რეკომენდაციას ვუწევ 100 % ❤️🇬🇪“

“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.“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“One of my favorite places in NYC. It’s rare for people to rave about British food, but they know what they are doing. Don’t skip on their salad, it’s the type of thing you don’t want to order because the Scottish egg, the rarebit, the quail, the burger are all competing, but just add it. Great somm too. Cool vibe and decor. I can’t wait to go back.“

“The only problem with this place is I do not go often enough. The food is consistency excellent. They serve creative takes on classic dishes that preserve and elevate. Their martini nights are a blast and, even though it is in a hotel, the team makes locals feel welcome and appreciated.“

“A wonderful place with a creative menu. Very unique flavors. Try as many items as you can as each one is special. We went in a group and we were able to share and taste a variety of items. A very casual chic place, you don’t have dress up 😊. They had some original cocktails, adding a twist to the traditional ones. Definitely must visit. Be aware, you will need to make a reservation well in advance. They are popular and hard to get in.“

“Cool place and enjoy the food, drink , enironment.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“A must experience wonderful place“

“Very impressive. It’s great to see someone so young achieving his goals. Compared to other top restaurants in NYC, Gem is right up there.“

“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!“

“Food was great. We got the burrata, which was among the best I’ve had, hibachi crudo, and crispy rice with scallop and roe, which was uniquely tasty.
However, the open kitchen concept isn’t more interesting than getting your clothes to smell like food.“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“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.“

“Highly enjoyed my first time at the happiest hour! Came here for my anniversary on a Monday night. It wasn’t very busy, due to it being a Monday, but food and service were both excellent! Great vibes all around. We both got the happiest meal with the double smash burger and fries, was seriously one of the best burgers I’ve had! They made the night very special for me and my partner. We ended up staying for nearly 4 hours till they closed! Will definitely be back!“

“Though we enjoyed our meal at HAGS, our experience wasn’t quite as sensational as some of the other reviewers.

We found the food a bit underwhelming, especially at this price point. Don’t get me wrong, it was good throughout and sometimes great. The beef entree and the pumpernickel brand, for example, were fantastically done.

But many of the remaining dishes were quite vegetable-forward and some of the flavors didn’t seem to make sense together. There’s nothing wrong with a lot of vegetable dishes, but taken together it felt like the meal was a little bare and missing some substance / finesse.

The service was awesome and the decor of the place is lovely and memorable. Unfortunately, those were the parts of the meal that left the most lasting impression (vs the meal itself). Also love that they include tip with the menu prices - more restaurants ought to do that.

Maybe we aren’t the target demographic, but I think there are better spots in NYC to drop $200 pp.“

“es un excelente lugar para cenar“

“Excellent Michelin Star restaurant. Very expensive though.“

“The food was good! Server was okay. But she wasn’t too attentive. We had to consistently look for assistance with our food and drinks. We did choose to sit outside but was attacked by bees the whole time. I will try again (inside) maybe there will be better service too.“

“Food is probably the best in the city with wine and service to match. Everyone is so warm and welcoming, and at a few points during the evening my captain invited me to enjoy the sunset and then fireworks from their terrace right outside on the 63rd floor! Impeccable evening, 20/10 would come back.“

“This is such a beautiful restaurant with wonderful and attentive service. We had brunch and our server was thoughtful and prompt. We shared the baguette small bite which was delicious and had the chicken sandwich and buccatini. We will be back to try more of the menu!“

“The food is awe inspiring.“

“I would give the service here 10 stars if I could. The bartender was so sweet. He made me a drink based on what I liked and it really hit the spot. All the drinks were quite nice. The menu was very interesting and the spot was very intimate.“

“Had a wonderful brunch today at Hudson Clearwater. The smoothie was outstanding. This is a quaint rustic spot and deserves all the love for their vegan friendly menu. I chose the blackened fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. The Cole slaw on the brioche bun, lightly covered with tarter sauce, made for a perfect sandwich. Their fries were delectable as well. Great service, and a great meal with my sweetheart.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“We were in town for a wedding, and this was the place where they hosted a pre-wedding celebration. The atmosphere was exciting, and regardless of the large crowd, the servers did an amazing job. Everyone had such an amazing and memorable time.“

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

“3.5/5 What to expect at a trendy ‘Italian’ west village establishment. Cocktails are the best part of the meal. Sitting outside offers fantastic people watching- vibes are good inside as well. Favorite dish was the
RICOTTA GNUDI; sauce is flavorful, it’s not found everywhere. Seasonings used in the lamb meatballs did not compliment each other. And yes cheese is a key ingredient in lasagna bianco, however the dish had way too much, I struggled to finish which does not often happen. Cocktails are good though.“

“Holy cow! We just had the Restaurant Week Bento Box lunch from 232 Bleecker and it was just out of this world. Hands down the best meal we've had since the pandemic started. The way Chef Cupps teases the flavor out of vegetables and meats is just astounding. We are in heaven! We also ordered from 232 Bleecker on Christmas Eve, and the food was once again incredible. We are huge fans of Chef Cupps. She previously cooked at UnTitled at the Whitney which was our favorite restaurant in NYC. We are so glad that she and Nick and the rest of her beautiful staff are doing so well.“

“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.“

“Great food and a wonderful staff!“

“Delicious food! Will be back next time we are in New York!“

“I've had dinner at Greywind, but my first time for lunch. We shared four small dishes, and they were all excellent! Service was great--attentive but not overly intrusive. High on the list for a return visit. Dan Kluger is one of the best in the city, and he really nailed it here.“

“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“

“Dining at Borgo was extraordinary—like being at your best friend’s house if they were a chef with a brick oven and a flair for perfection. Every dish was so insanely good we couldn’t stop ourselves from ordering doubles of everything (no regrets). The décor? Every inch was so perfectly crafted it felt like stepping into a magazine spread. They made my husband’s birthday unforgettable, hosting our large group like pros. Honestly, nothing in New York even comes close!“

“It was a wonderful experience our waiter and everyone was just fantastic and the food was amazing!!“

“Barawine is our favorite happy hour spot, it is just a few blocks away from all the hype where everything slows down a notch!
Burger, goat cheese salad, glass of wine and chill vibes is what we have been coming back for!

Vegetarian options: Goat cheese salad - delicious!“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I have been going to Quatorze since the early 1990’s when Mark and Peter were on 79th St. I was thrilled when the restaurant recently moved to my corner at 82nd and 1st Ave. and have always enjoyed dining there. NEVER AGAIN. I just had the most awful in-person experience with a manager, Nino who was rude, dismissive and argumentative. And all I wanted to do was make a reservation. Nino is the complete antithesis of the way the staff at Quatorze treat customers. If this is the person who is now the face of this beloved neighborhood gem, then sadly I will not be back. And that’s a shame. I left a message asking to speak to the owner, Mark, but I guess having to speak to an actual loyal customer who is unhappy is beneath him. UPDATE: I received a call from the owner Mark, who questioned the veracity of my account. Do yourself a favor and steer clear - these are rude, arrogant people who think we’re all just dumb. And the food and service is average at best.“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“Excellent excellent coffee place.

Very impressed with their coffee set up.
Hi-end.
Result is delicious coffee.
The best in nyc so far...

Love this place.
Needless to say, this is a must visit place for excellent coffee.

Note; They also serve beer, wine cocktails....also fruit tarts and pastries.“

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