Soooo.....you want to see what a real wine bar is all about? This pic is the "available by the glass" selection at Ten Bells. See you next week when I wake from the coma. Great peeps too.

Dollar Oyster happy hour is legit, but try the charcuterie plate with hand picked cheeses and meats. On the pricier side ($24 for 6 items) but pairs well with wine and oysters .

Ms Helene

Oysters were only shucked to order and fresh even if not served on ice, $2.50 each. Pulpo a la fiera (grilled octopus with crispy potatoes ) and salmon tartare were great! Meet the Winemaker nights!

Luke

Cute , cozy , romantic , and a lot of other great adjectives apply, but wine and oysters are the important nouns here.

Kelly Kearns

This place is amazing! They have a large selection of natural wines and the food is ????????. My favorites are the meatballs , the shrimp nachos , the brisket , and the mushrooms , but you can’t go wrong!

Cole Kennedy

I adore this cozy little wine bar . It’s a lot bigger than it seems; there’s a room in the back if there’s no room in the front. Take your time with the wine list , there are a ton of good values .

Stina P.

warm, coquettish, tucked away on a street in LES. lose yourself for hours in the prism candlelight with good company and a glass of malbec . trust the staff for selections and go oh so very often ????

Giacson

Easygoing wine bar with delicious tapas plates to share. Crowded but good vibes. Perfect for a night out with friends or in couple

DoubleDeuce

All of your wine bar needs. There's also a sizable back room if you have a big group or say doing a celebration of some sorts.

Collette S

My second favorite wine bar in the city . The bartenders are super nice and will let you try just about anything. Cozy , romantic atmosphere great for dates or late night !

Caroline Schulweis

Great value . Loved the octopus (was a lot of food for the price!). $1 oyster happy hour as well as $15 carraffes of wine . What more could you ask for?

Michelle Wiles

Nice open space in the back; good spot to catch up with mates

Sarah Spagnolo

A cool spot. Dark and moody with small tapas that are great to share. The octopus and watermelon salad were standouts.

Chelsea Renaud

OYSTERS: $1 M-F 5-7; S&S 3-7P. It’s got a ton of character, is filled with regulars, and has way better food than a poppin’ wine bar in this part of town really needs to have.

Ellie D

Great local spot . It's a must if you can find an open seat . Delicious little tapas and an extensive and impressive wine list . Doesn't hurt that it always smells like garlic and butter, either!

Vinaya Vishwanath

Great date place . Intimate wine bar with small plates and cheeses .

Nicole Formica

Amazing happy hour till 7. Oysters are great, but don't miss out on the octopus !

Nicolette Romero

I walked right by this place and didn't even know it was there! Very relaxed ambience . Get in here for a glass of wine !

Monica Cullen

1$ Oysters and 15$ carafes of wine until 7 pm. Very cozy and romantic . The Massachusetts oysters and the Chardonnay are perfect!

Sophie Omnom

Cozy bar with dark wood, candles, and a good selection of wines . Great for dates!

Nastya

Dark and loud place with a huge wine selection (even by glass). Friendly prices. Would be perfect for a friends gathering.

Elvis Rodricks

Good alfresco joint sans the heavy background music sound. Table at the rear. Baby eel 's an exotic treat!

Carrie Nyden

$1 oyster happy hour ! Plus an amazing natural wine list.

Poppy

Great Bio wine . Remember that Bio wine is not what most of us expect in "wine " this is real grapes pressed to be what we really should be enjoying in life :)

We love to come to this cozy wine bar for happy hour , especially for the $1.25 oysters (through 7pm).

İpek A.

A really nice wine bar and they usually play good music all night long!

If you believe, as some very respected chefs do, that our Pepper Sauce is great with oysters , be sure to ask for it when you hit up $1 oyster happy hour Read more

Charlotte Chan

Impressive wine menu and very good vibe and service :-) oyster happy hours ????????????????????????

Almost overwhelming wine list . When in doubt, the house carafe is great. Papas bravas for vegetarians .

Great low key spot to have wine with friends and some solid food to boot

The list of biodynamic wines are incredibly hard to read but the bartenders give great recommendations and tastings. Cash only kittens .

Andrew Perez

So cute and $1 oysters before 7pm. Very low key atmosphere and perfect.

If they have orange wine on the menu, I strongly recommend you try it. Amazing!
