One of my favorite, if not my favorite, wine bars in the city. They'll open any bottle of wine as long as you get at least two glasses. The cheese selection is never disappointing!- I love this bar. Great snacks (meat and cheese), great happy hour, and GREAT staff. I hung out here alone with a book the other evening and it was lovely - not many places can pull that off!
LaurenMarch 31, 2013The handmade chocolates are a great treat. You can't go wrong with the caramel sea salt and the Aztec spiced chocolate is fabulous as well. Oh and the wine selection is also fantastic.
Nitzan BMarch 27, 2017The most perfect place. I'm in love. Amazing cheeses, staff was so friendly we kept getting refills for our plate and just great atmosphere.- Rebecca WuMarch 12, 2016Tried the whole eel - quite good! Very different at least, not the usual Japanese prepared eel. Great playlist here, some of my favorite indie songs
Great HH deals on a glass of red or white wine. Also, a very reasonable selection of charcuterie as a snack!
Stan BashmashnikovJuly 9, 2014One of the best wine bars in NYC. You'll never go wrong taking your date here. Order a Pinot Noir, sit back, and enjoy the surroundings.
Yuliya SamsonavaMarch 17, 2019love this place! very cosy with good selection of wine & hand-made chocolate.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 17, 2013We love to come here for the vast wine list and $1 oyster special. Great happy hour deals too!
Nice spot to grab wine and chat. Long bar is good for couples, not groups. Happy hour until 7:30pm
Leah SchallerApril 19, 2015Tiny spot, but great snacks and wines. A nice spot to hit after work or before you head on to other things- Great wine list & house red. Roomano (hard, orange, nutty) is a favorite off-the-menu cheese.
Michael P.June 14, 2014Good wines, but felt ignored by the sommeliers. I enjoy learning about different wines while tasting. Oh well, there are many other wine bars in manhattan.
The best wine bar in the village. Delicious cheese and light bites, best somms around!- Leslie TAugust 6, 2013Enjoy wines around an oval bar. Happy hour has $8 glasses of wine, beer for $7-$14 and cheese plates for $12. Go for the wine!
Anat PaechtApril 16, 2014Good vibes, great and knowledgeable staff and just a great place to finish your day if you like good wine
Drew JenningsSeptember 21, 2014Vera is a wonderful vinho verde on the happy hour menu. Order it anytime, though. Very effervescent and light.
Laura FrankJuly 12, 2015Prosciutto a disappointment. Jerky like chunks instead of the melt in your mouth goodness I, personally, was hoping for. But the lovely staff and service make everything okay. Vino is bueno also.
Kick ass wine bar with stellar happy hour (40 bucks gets you a btl of wine & plenty of snacks). $1 oysters Sunday & Wednesday (arrive early, they run out)
BordeauxWinesFebruary 17, 2012Don’t feel overwhelmed by the 150-deep wine list at this dark-wooded bar. Approach it with confidence and be ready to mingle over cheese, chocolates, and charcuteries with a Bordeaux!
Ryan AmbsDecember 15, 2015Great little wine bar, no tables, just bar seats. Good happy hour and small bites.
Dan FetznerApril 9, 2016Only wine and beer, no liquor. Nice ambiance and good wine selection. Would be a good date spot.
Nicolette RomeroFebruary 28, 2015Cozy spot with great happy hour specials! $28 for a bottle of wine...sign me up!! 🙋🍷- One of my favorite wine bars in the city. Happy hour is killer ($26 btls, $8 glasses, $12 for 3 meats/cheeses). And come on Sun or Wed for $1 oysters!
MarthaFebruary 25, 2015nice little spot. bartenders are friendly. great for conversation so perfect for dates.

M WAugust 22, 2010Delightful room, excellent wines + perfect food/cheese selection to accompany. Friendly and interesting staff - thanks, Michael! Happy hour can't be beat.
