What can I say about the best bar in New York? It’s not just the best bar in Sunnyside- Queens, I mean in the TOWN!First, the owners are an amazing couple that became my friends now and they are absolutely Amazing and Fabulous!!The best service, hospitality, a great team, Good vibes, great food and wonderful wines and drinks. What else can you expect? The best!On Fridays they have amazing live music like jazz, flamenco and some local bands..I highly recommend the French sparkling rose wine and the Italian charcuterie, my favorite ❤️What are you waiting to go for it? Definitely now I feel like home and always welcome in the place! Amazing hostess also! Enjoy ???✨This place and the owners have my Heart now! ?❤️

[I also posted this review on Yelp.] Superb! Friendly and professional staff (everyone: kitchen staff, servers, bartenders, owners); yummy, varied food; great spirits selection; best wine list in the neighborhood; rota of musicians on Friday nights. It's become a real neighborhood meeting spot. Not that newbies should be discouraged (not at all, it's EXTREMELY friendly). I've met several people who've been a little intimidated to go there because it's called a 'wine bar.' I'd encourage you to ignore that. It's a restaurant/bar that has a bigger wine list than most bars - but not some snooty place where wine is all you're expected to drink (and have a knowledge of), nor is it more expensive. It has a superb corner location with large picture windows on two sides, terrific sunlight; people-watching; romantic at night; lovely to watch the snow or rain. A special spot.

Very chill neighborhood wine bar. They have fantastic live music, often with a Spanish tinge. Solid food options. Excellent imbibing options. Definitely worth a journey from anywhere in the City if you get an invite.

One of the signature spots, and one of my personal faves, in all of Sunnyside! Great selection of beer, wine and spirits. Kevin, owner and bartender, has great conversations. The food is awesome around: charcuterie boards, flatbread pizzas, etc. My personal faves are the salmon tartine and clam chowder. Also live music many nights. What's not to like?

This wine bar is a neighborhood gem! I have been living in Sunnyside for about 3 years now & come back regularly. The owners Kevin & Jaci really care about their business & community. It shows in everything from their food & wine selection to the variety of weekly live music they bring in. Best happy hour in the neighborhood by far!! My favorites to get here aside from their charcuterie board or flatbreads are the truffle mac n cheese, mussels pil pil, and meatballs. If you are looking for a cozy wine bar in the neighborhood then this is your spot!

Great service and ambiance. Flamenco night is so fun. Food is yummy! The music was lively and set the tone for the evening. Place was packed so get there early if you want to see the show!

Neighborhood favorite. Excellent menu and great drinks, though it’s the people (Jackie, Kevin, Neil, Bob, and Jen) who make this place as special as it is.The Champignon Pizza with honey and red pepper flakes is ? ?

Came in for happy hour and couldn't be any happier we did! Excellent options to choose from and superb service! Had a bottle of wine with a charcuterie board, muscles and olives, and the pate. All excellent! Jacki and Jen checked up on us and were helpful in our choices! Can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu!

For starters, two sisters run this place and they're awesome girls. The service is amazing and they make every guest feel welcomed. The atmosphere and ambiance is great. The food is even better. Don't even get me started with the wine! This place is soooo special to me. My mom recently passed away and this is the last place I had taken her this past Mother's Day. We had a great time. Their outdoor dining setup was lovely. We spent hours here. Unfortunately, I won't be able to bring her back but I will keep returning with friends. Seriously!!! This place is amazing!!!! A hidden gem for reals.
