Wine Bar · East Village · 77 tips and reviews

Ashley S.Ashley Simon: best to just order a bottle of wine and set up camp. bartenders dress fancy but there's no fancy service.

Aditya B.Aditya Basu: The tacky neon sign is misleading. Has an upscale feel. Even though the red wines on the menu could do with more variety. Good service for a crowded Saturday night.

Cynthia L.Cynthia Lin: Decent wine list, somewhere in between fancy and low key
