Jess HannOctober 17, 2014This place! I've been there for concerts (Howie Day!), and Oscar viewing party and most recently a Murray's hosted wine and cheese class! The staff, food, wine and acoustics are all top notch! Go!
Eaters HeavenAugust 3, 2016Great music venue. Quite large, but still intimate. Huge selection of wines and some apps. I prefer sitting at the bar @ the high tops. Order a glass of bubbly and listen to some great music.
Benjamin PalmerMarch 28, 2013best scenario is wine & snacks (charcuterie, cheese, seafood) dinner was not all great i would skip. probably awesomest would to have a ~20 person wine and cheese party amidst the barrels
Erica MarieSeptember 17, 2015"Downtown white" on tap and if you happen to see the salmon tacos as their special for the day- order it! You won't be disappointed! Love the atmosphere and the service.
David LynchMarch 15, 2015Fantastic wine, and a great place to see a nice intimate arrangement of your favorite music artists. I've noticed the relaxed environment tends to make performers interact w/the crowd more too.
Andrew COctober 11, 2017Heard so many great things about both music venue and bar/restaurant... hung out at bar area (not the venue side) - the wine selection was great and the staff was helpful+friendly!!!- Shawn Ryan RandlemanOctober 2, 2017Always a great time at City Winery! An amazing relax atmosphere! Some of the best food, wine and Live music in the city.
Paul R.December 17, 2014As European, the vines are a bit expensive yet very good. The acoustic is great and you can clearly see the scene even if you are in the back of the room.
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 10, 2015My office had our Holiday party here last year and needless to say the wine was incredible. They actually made and bottled a unique wine specifically for the company!
Great spot (we saw Peter Wolf). Excellent food (but you need to get there at least an hour before the show for good service). Go with friends to have a little seating space.
Rachel PerlinJuly 20, 2013Rose on tap, black kale Caesar salad and good live music?! Sold. This place makes me feel like an adult in a good way.
Jill StricklandJuly 17, 2015Beautiful room with wood and light. We were not pleased to have a stranger seated with us without notice when we reserved our place. Service friendly but overworked we rarely saw our server.
Michelle KinsmanJuly 24, 2013Love live music but don't necessarily need to see the band? Show is piped in and broadcast on monitor in adjoining restaurant (two doors down from main entrance). Free way to enjoy music.
Ken CrearyMay 19, 2017A great venue to see outstanding music, enjoy excellent food, and pretty good wine! The house pinot noir was surprisingly good!
NearSay NYCJuly 22, 2011A vibrant, interactive space in New York where folks can not only make wine, but also meet friends new and old while indulging their passion for quality food, music, art and life.
MetroFocusDecember 6, 2011The artists who play at City Winery meet the growing demand for live music in a more intimate space. A true cabaret experience. Discover other local spots for cabaret in NYC on MetroFocus Read more
Trevor HebertsonNovember 16, 2013The Delicata Squash Arancini is amazing! And the Despana Chorizo with a glass of Priorat, Cesca Vicent '10 will blow your taste buds
Conrad FlynnSeptember 24, 2011For me it's not all about the wine. They quietly keep a huge selection of imported gin and scotch behind the bar... but you'll have to ask to see the list. DON'T MISS!
Wei VaynJuly 18, 2015Try the Roasted Octopus - Roasted Octopus grilled chorizo, potatoes, shallot confit, tomato powder, saffron aioli (via @Foodspotting)
The Corcoran GroupJuly 17, 2013A unique wine bar where you can design your own wine. Great live music too!
Nicole MerrittJuly 11, 2012There is a separate dining area during the day, apart from the stage room. Go down the street, and go up the carpeted ramp. Try any flat bread - you can't go wrong.
Stick with flatbreads or cheese for food, skip casked wines. Shows are awesome! Always. VIP seating area reasonably priced and worth it.
They're big on their wines but I prefer their food and concerts. Great venue for having a big group of people.
ashley roeberOctober 21, 2014Solid wine bar with good bites. Also, you can't go wrong with Murray's cheese selections!- Wei VaynJuly 18, 2015Try the Braised Duck Taco - Braised Duck Tacos hudson valley duck, guacamatillo salsa, cabbage salad (via @Foodspotting)
John PaterakisAugust 19, 2015A wine lover's paradise. Multiple varieties on tap from the barrel, then make your own!
Pedro JimenezOctober 21, 2016Get the La Frieda burger with cheese and bacon. Now name your next child after me, you are welcome.- AJ JacobsMay 25, 2015A great place for wine and concerts. I saw my cousin Jill Sobule (just 21 steps away) perform there.
Laura GarciaApril 9, 2013The tofu is AMAZING but the portions are European, so don't go super hungry. The Riesling on tap is great too.
Augie RayApril 24, 2015Dress comfortable--they cram people and chairs into City Winery causing patrons to swivel necks and torsos trying to view the state.
Joe BastianichMay 2, 2012Wine and live music. Nothing better. Did a Zeppelin and wine paring event here a few years back. Make your own wine!
Had a great deal for the tasting menu. Very friendly service and awesome food!!
EddySeptember 18, 2015Solid venue for a concert, just be wary of cramped seating at tables. Try the high tops.
- Wei VaynJuly 18, 2015Try the Butcher's Table Meatballs - Butcher’s Table Meatballs crusty bread, manchego (via @Foodspotting)
Luke HaseloffJune 18, 2012It's a trip to be in our old office space -- from 1999 when Comet Systems was downstairs in the old El Diario offices. I'm pretty sure I see where the pool table used to be!
Steve RitterJuly 19, 2012Loading dock out back is the best place to catch an outdoor show in a concrete jungle. Drinks are surprisingly reasonable.
M. Silver AssociatesFebruary 24, 2012Watch the Oscars at this rustic Soho wine bar and performance space for just $6 (includes a glass of wine). Double-check for this year.
Shakai TaylorMarch 9, 2014Pre game drink wine than party across the street after at green house or WIP for vodka or champagne contact me twitter or Instagram shakaitaylor facebook Shakai Taylor
Lisa ItoMarch 19, 2016Went at 9:30 PM on a Friday and it was super empty. Great if you need a place to actually hear conversation.
Awesome spot to see a concert. Get a VIP table (usually only $10 more or so) and a bottle of wine. Or 2.
Jennifer BodnerAugust 10, 2014Highly recommend a night at city winery. Great food and entertainment.
Helen DestroyFebruary 18, 2013Very crowded seating. If you are a party of 3, just buy the extra seat at the table of 4. Otherwise, you'll never know who you'll be sitting with. Or rather on top of.
