A fantastic date night spot , though make reservations ahead of time or be prepared for a wait. Snag a seat in the cozy lounge area up front if it's available!

Eater

Excellent choice for a boozy brunch . Go for the short rib hash , Moroccan-style braised lamb , and lobster salad . Corkbuzz's Champagne Campaign extends to brunch--all bottles of Champagne are 50% off.

Jess Brook

Try the Sommelier’s Mixtape, a flight allowing you to try 3 different wines that aren’t run of the mill . Excellent service + knowledge of the wines . We didn’t even get to the Champagne !

Jessi Singh

I love the wine on offer but I also love the crowd. I’m always up for a chat after service and I get to meet the most interesting people here. Perfect place to relax with great wine and good company.

Anna Karenina

Steak tartar is wow! Best place for finding the wine you want! They are all very knowledgeable about the spirits and wine . They do have alcohol by the way

Caroline Schulweis

The wine and food pairing classes are a lot of fun! Laura teaches them. Was informal and laid back compared to other classes I've taken. Rosé and burgers tasted great!

Johnny Wu

Really good selection of wine . Definitely pricey check out their three bites and a flight if you want to sample some stuff. Wild boar salumi was incredible

The Corcoran Group

Come here to enjoy one of their many wines or take a wine education class , often taught by the Master Sommelier . The food here is delicious as well - be sure to order the bucatini .

AmateurConcierge

There's a nice range of wine classes but unfortunately I don't think they've thought through the best way to educate patrons. Lovely environment and friendly staff .

jessica m. hintermeister

Corn Beignets = Choux pastry beignets , mixed w. cornmeal & fresh kernels (ideal accompaniment to Champagne ). Not only are these fritters unlisted, they aren't even available until 10 p.m.

Leah Schaller

This is my kind of neighborhood spot ! Amazing wine , knowledgable staff , cozy spot , and great food. Try the Gougères , Chef 's Tasting Cheese and Charcuterie board, and the Brussel Sprouts !

Mary Elise Chavez

Great escape in Union Sq; A+ wine selection , burrata & NY Strip are tastebud heaven. Toffee chocolate cake is the perfect finish. Kind staff , great service. Good for large groups, farm tables in back

Rachel Karnofsky

Good spot for dates and groups. Went to dinner where each course was perfectly paired with a wine . Short ribs and bucatini dishes were great for a cold winter night.. Definitely heading back soon!

Avin Narasimhan

Went to a fantastic wine and pizza pairing class this past weekend for my wife's bday. Laura, the owner, was an excellent host, very knowledgable and approachable. Highly recommend!

Michael Chan

Still my favorite wine bar in the city , close to la compagnie. Half priced champagne bottles every day 10 pm onwards make this a solid bargain, and a great date spot .

Alex Fish

Very laid back yet cozy spot for wine enthusiasts and those with little knowledge . I went to wine 101 class which was great

Celena Chan

High expectations for the wine here were met. Be sure to check out the food as well -- the homemade ricotta , duck breast and fingerling potatoes were great delicious!

Serious Eats

One of our favorite wine bars in New York, with an ever-changing dinner menu , wine classes , and an event space .

First We Feast

The so-called "wine studio" combines a restaurant (don't sleep on the brunch ), bar , event space , and education center all in one sleek package. Read more

✨Pun Bandhu ✨

Amazing place! Great selection, service and ambience. B/C of what they did for us when our 1st champagne selection wasn't avail, they have a customer for life. So gracious and generous.

Andy Wang

Laura Maniec’s wine bar and restaurant . Very cozy and fun. Great service! Definitely check it out

Todd Heughens

SO good! This place is awesome. Food is delicious and they'll do a custom flight based on what you order.

7th.List

The wine bar portion of the space is open seven nights a week and offers a menu of snacks like chicken liver toast and shishito peppers , salads and sides, and shareable plates including hamachi crudo Read more

CITY GRIT

We’ve got 2 words for you: CHAMPAGNE. CAMPAIGN. What’s that? Glad you asked - every night after 10, enjoy a bottle of bubbles for 50% off. Yes, you heard! Not a fan? We don’t know you anymore!

Cole Kennedy

I'm a fan of this sophisticated oasis in a desert of awful bro bars . Seems like a great spot for a celebration with a group if you reserve the room in the back.

Gennady Barsky

Gennady B. I adore this place. They have some of the best, considerably priced wine in here! I frequently visit, especially during the holidays :)

Cheryl

Outstanding service ! We had the bone marrow , brussel sprouts , and pork belly - all of which were impressive. Our waiter was very helpful with wine recommendations.

Garima Kapoor

really you shared here something different but new, we also try to share my thought and sizzling fun with such types of offer. My goodness whether you share your dinner party with us. Visit my Blog Read more

Verna

Don't ignore the nuts . They have an amazing roasted almonds+cashews that perfectly pair with whatever you're drinking. They're a delicious harmony of spicy , sweet & salty. #getyourmindoutofthegutter

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Get the cheese and charcuterie platters. Will be back. And remember there are 2 locations.

amNewYork

The burger is available at brunch and is also offered as a secret, off-the-menu item after 10 p.m. nightly. Read more

Annie Tolochinski

Always great service, excellent wine selection and knowledge . All small plates and cheese/meat boards are great too.

suneel

beet chips with tzatziki are outrageously good, as are the spiced nuts . obviously a lot of wine .

Halstead Property

The wine education classes are comprehensive+informative, whether you're a beginner or expert, something great is offered. Classes are held 3-4 days a week, sign up early because they fill up quick!

Risa

Grub Street off-menu dish: Corn Beignets . "Not only are these fritters--choux pastry beignets , mixed with cornmeal and fresh kernels--unlisted, they aren't even available until 10 p.m."

Tasting Table

At this tiny wine bar that focuses on pairing, try our favorite match: bucatini with Brussels sprouts and chile oil, and a glass of Trimbach Riesling Reserve . Read more

Verna

Can't go wrong with anything but my fave has to be the Spanish rose . As for food, the short rib was amazing! Oh and the service is flawless.

David Zhang

Must orders: the bone marrow , oyster tempura , Brussels sprouts .

Alice Eunjin

"Hangtown Fry with crispy oysters , bacon , and scallion in scrambled eggs , eggs Benny with pork belly , and Insta-bait avocado toast ."

Nicolette Romero

This place is great! They let you sample a number of wines and help you find the one for you. Needless to say, I am drunk off just the tastings!

Kavita Baba

Cozy date spot with a great wine selection . Gamay it up for a good night

Brittany Latson

Def one of my favorite places in the city . Phenomenal wines and amazing food in a classy sophisticated environment. Love love love this place!

Carlette Peters

The service and atmosphere are only topped by the excellent selection of wines . The food pairing is terrific too.

Rebecca Mazza

They have a great selection of wines and reasonably priced

Meg Farmer

Fun wine bar equally good for catching up with girlfriends or an early in the game date spot .

Sarah Arnold

Champagne campaign is the real deal. Come after 10pm and get half off bottles of champagne . Pay with Cover anytime.

Christine L

Order a bottle of wine with a side of brussels sprouts for nibbles. Great dinner selection, esp for sharing.

Rena Yisi

Nice place with friendly waiters and big space for wine tasting or/and group gatherings .
