New York

The Best Wine Bars in New York

New York wine bars span the natural wine wave from Brooklyn out to the East Village and a parallel old guard wine scene in the Upper East Side. The geographic split tracks the citys wine drinking culture: serious natural in the outer boroughs, classical European wine in central Manhattan.

  1. 01

    The Four Horsemen

    Lower East Side · $$$$

    James Murphy backed natural wine bar with a Michelin star. Tiny room, deep list, food that is the equal of the wine. Reserve weeks ahead.

  2. 02

    Wildair

    Lower East Side · $$$

    The Contra and Wildair team set the New York natural wine standard. Wildair is the casual room. Reserve. Standing OK.

  3. 03

    Ten Bells

    Cobble Hill · $$

    The original 2008 natural wine bar in New York. Small, loud, and unapologetic. The list still rotates weekly and is excellent.

  4. 04

    June

    Soho · $$$

    Brooklyn natural wine bar with a focus on lesser known European producers. The food is small and seasonal. Reserve.

  5. 05

    Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels

    Tribeca · $$$

    French natural wine bar imported directly from Paris. The list is heavily French and biodynamic. Standing room after 8pm.

  6. 06

    Terroir Tribeca

    $$$

    Paul Grieco s Terroir is the senior New York wine bar. The list is global, the bartenders are encyclopedic, and the room is intentional.
