If you're looking for a chill wine spot with some charcuterie and a decent happy hour, this spot is great. The ONLY downside to this place that made me want to leave asap after my glass of wine was the lack of ventilation. It was difficult to breathe; the air was smoky and thick. My eyes started to water, it was difficult to enjoy the place. read more

8th Street Winecellar - Happy Hour wine - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I came here for a casual drink while waiting for some friends and it's not a bad wine bar! I came during their happy hour deals, where they had glasses of wine for $11 and bottles for $30 (totally worth it!). I sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive and very quick. Would be down to check out the food here another time! read more

8th Street Winecellar - Vibes - Wine Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Ok. So the Nebbiolo is drinking well. Really well. Go drink it now! I didn't get the name. But it's a 2022. Old world. Meaty. Tannins weren't overbearing. More than a barbaresco, not quite a barolo. Nice legs. Really held up well. You gotta slosh it around the mouth. Wow. I had just that one glass and nothing else, but got caught up on some reading. Place is understated. Below street level. You kinda clamber down into the place. It's dark but lit well. Some chairs and tables, some high chairs... friendly and attentive staff. I really enjoyed being there. read more

The happy hour deals here are great (ex.: $30 for a bottle of wine), but the service is not the best. My friends and I have gotten attitude from the staff multiple times about where we've been sitting, and just generally, have not felt welcomed. I wish I had more positive experiences here because it's a great location and the food and drinks are good. read more

Great happy hour deals. A work colleague/friend suggested this place for drinks. The $30 bottle is a good deal. We also shared the potato fries dish (nice sauce) and the white bean bruschetta. Both were good options to go with the drinks. Will definitely keep it in my rotation. read more

Walked in after grabbing dinner nearby for drinks with a friend. We got seated right away for a 2 person table in the corner by the window. The space was pretty busy, but the wait staff were still very attentive. They made sure our water was refilled. They have a good selection of wines and cocktails and I'll be sure to drop by again! read more

On a chilly Sunday while passing through Washington Square Park a friend and I decided to grab a drink. We were lucky to pass by this spot and decided to check it out. It being in a basement like level was pretty cool and inside the vibe was dark and cozy it was perfect. We ordered the sauv blanc bottle to split and the whole service was fantastic and the bottle delicious. At the end of the bottle we said goodbye to our bartender who was tending to the bar and the whole place herself. Overall, this was a great spot to relax in or visit with a date! read more

Lively wine bar. Our experience was subpar, sadly. It was a bit too crowded, too loud. The cold breeze and active air conditioning blowing upon us didn't help. The decor didn't work for us, with a half-open service area in the back left corner. The servers seemed overwhelmed that weekend night. I gambled on an organic natural Nebbiolo and was not rewarded... too funky, astringent, and hard to drink. My wife didn't gamble on her white (forget which), but that wasn't a rewarding drinking experience either. We got to watch some patrons stage some tiktoks in the back! That was funny. read more

Loved this little wine bar that's tucked away in the West Village. Everything is very reasonably priced! They have happy hour everyday, even weekends! We got a $28 bottle of wine to share at the bar. Kiki was our bartender and she was so fun to talk to. After 8pm, it was crowded! They have so many unique wines, I can't wait to come back! read more

I LOVE 8TH STREET WINECELLAR!!! So good, the crowd is amazing so lively in such a cozy cute space. The happy hour is until 8 pm everyday and is such a steal. Great options of white, red, and rose and all glasses are $8 or bottles are $28. You really can't get any better than that! The food was pretty good too. read more

We stopped in to just get one drink and stayed for four. We initially stopped by because we had walked a lot and needed a bathroom. The staff was amazing! And we loved the bacon wrapped dates so much we ordered seconds! We also sent the restaurant to all of our friends! Our waitress Kiki was fantastic, and so are her floral arrangements! Highly recommend! read more

Cute little bar with a nice wine list and some interesting plates to share. Speaking there of we had the charcuterie board, really enough for 3 or 4 to pick at, olives ( dam good ) and some deviled eggs. We sat at the bar and it was pleasant. I had 2 meh margaritas and my guest had 2 glasses of wine. I pulled a star because of the drinks. But it's a dam cute spot for a quick glass of wine read more

What is better than happy hour wine to celebrate a sweaty fun 305 fitness work out? After our work out class, we quickly did a search for good happy hour deals around the neighborhood. This place is just a few stores down from the west village 305 fitness location. It was semi-full for 5:30 pm on a Wednesday. There seemed to be only one person working, which wasn't an issue. We quickly got water and were able to put a bottle of happy hour wine in for about 28 dollars. The happy hour doesn't include food. The food options looked great. We weren't planning to get dinner here so we split the mushroom quesadilla, which was a great choice! This will remain a great happy hour option post-305 fitness workout in the future. read more

It's a Tuesday night. You've finally recovered from the weekend and it's time to have a post-mortem with the girls. How did Saturdays' brunch go with Doug? Did you stay over at Chad's? Is Chris looking to move in soon? 8th street wince cellar has great Happy Hour bottles at $28, which means for the price of a wax we can discuss all the sordid details from last week and plan this week's escapades. Amy said said the Montepulciano "tantalized" her tongue. Party sure that's what she described she did to Chris's d!ck last weekend Give this place a try, but keep the tick-tockers away! No need to blow this spot up with Gen-Z read more

Really liked this place! The food was great. Even things we ordered as a group that I didn't expect to like were delicious. The wine was good, too. Solid happy hour that runs until 8!! The hostess was helpful and communicative, Marisa the bartender was impressive, total pro. Also really liked the vibe. Unpretentious, but still trying to be nice. Would definitely go back for a casual hang with friends. read more

Blink and you miss it...seriously, it's in a basement! Took me a minute to make sure I knew where I was going, but I can't even dock a star for that. 8 buck happy hour till 8pm! AND bottles for 28! Let's go! The bites are nice to share and snack, and come on, charcuterie and wine are like milk and cookies bring a date, bring pals, bring your cute self and a book. The music isn't loud here either, or at least before 8 when I'm here. I'd definitely categorize this as a quiet bar. read more

Updating again because I cannot stress enough - I come here for Kiki. Such an intelligent, kind, patient woman AND she keeps me so safe with severe, severe allergies. I will follow her anywhere and if 8th Street Wine Cellar is where she is, i'm there. read more

A really nice, low key bar tucked away somewhere in East Village! My friends and I decided to stop by for a few drinks and snacks. I got the Con Job cocktail, and we got the baked potato tots and jalapeños cheddar arancini to share. All of it was delicious - I especially enjoyed the arancini, which had a light kick to it. We also really loved the waitress who served us, Kiki. She was so friendly and sweet, and she really made her time there really special! All in all, will definitely stop by again! read more

What a cute happy hour spot! We got a bottle of the Spanish red for $30, a cheese tray, and the arancini. So delicious. A perfect vibe for summer. Our server was sweet and knowledgeable as well, but there was a bit of miscommunication about our cheese tray. She said she would bring us the list of cheeses so we could choose, but she didn't come back for a while and then when we asked her about it, she said that the order is already in, so we didn't get to choose. It still tasted really good though so not too upset about that. read more

Happy Hour: $7 for a glass of wine $23 bottles of wine Monday - Friday: 4pm - 8pm After 8pm - 11pm: $1 oysters What a gem this place is. The vibe is GNO/Date Night/Group of friends catching up in a dimly lit room. I came here on an impromptu date night and there were plenty of seats available at 7:30pm on a Friday. The 5 different types of cheeseboard will run you $23, but easily shareable - and you can order more bread! The tater tots - you can skip this because at $9 it's kind of a rip off. The mushroom sauce is what makes it decadent but I still do not feel that the price justifies the portion, and the fact they're just tater tots from a wholesaler. I'm giving this place 5-stars purely off the fact that I had a really good time, with 0 crowds, pretty late HH specials, and moderate noise level. Will I be back? Yes and I've already rallied my girlfriends to go with me. read more

I went here for a happy hour with a friend and the experience was beyond lovely (even though we were outside in the cold, because ya know... covid). We were given really warm blankets because we were sitting outside. Our waitress was fantastic and really knew her wines and cheeses. She was able to provide us with really coherent tasting notes for all the wines we asked about. Also $8 glasses for happy hour! We ended up getting a cheeseboard and two different reds. The accompaniments on the cheeseboard were delightful and they rotate the cheeses so you can come back and have something different every time. Looking forward to coming more frequently once covid is over! read more

I came here for a happy hour dinner with my friend. We both had white wine paired with these delicious plates. We are OBSESSED with the Mac and Cheese. The patatas have a lovely chipotle aioli to contrast from their starchy texture. Our server Kiera was also so kind to us. The only reason this review is not 5 stars is because it got a bit loud and packed later into the night. read more

Really got lucky finding this great place! Four of us stopped in for some apps and drinks. From the moment we walked in Kiki (the manager) made us feel welcome. She was so kind in helping us with our food choices and as busy as she was we never felt rushed. We ordered 4 different apps to share and Kiki recommended a wine based on our likes which turned out to be wonderful. We had 2 different arancini dishes, wild mushroom risotto and grilled cheese with roasted tomato soup. All 4 were delicious! The food and service were excellent and we'll definitely be back. It was a warm, cozy inviting place!! read more

Great date spot and happy hour spot (4-7PM) for $25 bottle of wine! It's a sister restaurant from Bibi. Love the ambience and it has a dim romantic vibe to it too. The charcuterie board with the chef choice of meat and cheese were delicious! I'd definitely would come back here. read more

Years since my last review of this place and it keeps getting better. The mac and cheese still slaps. The mussels were excellent. Happy hour price has gone up $5 but still the best deal in town with a variety of really nice wines. On a personal note, my party had an unpleasant interaction with another customer recently. I was incredibly impressed by how quickly and professionally the waitress handled the situation and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The wine is a reason to come, the exceptional service is a reason to stay. read more

Really enjoyed our time here! Service is prompt and super helpful. We stumbled into this candlelit spot by Washington square and decided we were going to have a lil girls wine night. We ordered off of the happy hour wine menu which was an amazing deal by the way. We got one white bottle and one red bottle. Everything was delicious, including the tots we ordered on the side! Would definitely come back again for another wine night. read more

Haven't seen a friend from college since 2015. Since then I've been through three jobs and moved to NYC on my own! How time flies. We've always had major goals to hang out and catch up, but it did not happen until last Friday. My friend picked his place because she's been there before with her boy friend. Happy hour is 4-8 pm and you can get a bottle of wine for $27. We both had two bottles so... one bottle each? Let me tell you, happy hour was very happy. We also got the charcuterie board as well because I haven't eaten much that day. Let me tell you. It is delicious! Good company always seem to boost my ratings by one more star, but this place is a good place for a casual happy hour in the village. 100% recommend! read more

Ok so I came back here after 3 years and I can truly say that this place has redeemed themselves in my eyes. I wanted to update this review in complete fairness because I had a totally different experience here the second time around. My friend and I came here on a Friday for happy hour and did the $24 bottles of wine. Rather than waiting for a table which could be time consuming we were lucky enough to grab chairs at the bar. We were hungry so we decided to order a few things; the mushroom quesadilla, the pork sandwich and the fish (tilapia) tacos. To my surprise everything was actually really good and I did not feel sick after as I did the first time I was here. Again, this was a much better experience and I would definitely come back here especially for the happy hour. P.S. I was intending to drink the Malbec but it wasn't rich enough for me so I went with the Chardonnay. If you are doing the happy hour bottles ask to try the wine first! read more

Great place I popped into this summer. Great A/C, service and wine. The red haired bartender had great banter. Will come back.

Extremely disappointing to say the least... my friend and I walked in to get drinks and inquire about becoming servers at 8th Street Winecellar and the woman working at the time could not have been more rude, condescending, or dismissive. Not only would I never want to work at a place like this where the employees are the least bit welcoming or kind, but I will never be back as a customer. I never post reviews but this was an awful place. read more

On a recent unseasonably mild night we camped out at the 8th Street Wine Cellar, ordered a bottle of Gamay from the Loire Valley and waited for our friends to wander in. Over the course of the evening we ended up getting a number of bottles of that same easy goin' Gamay (one of the nicest priced bottles on the menu, I might add!) We toasted a friend who'd rung the closing bell that day at the New York Stock Exchange. We toasted yelpers from San Francisco and a visitor from Las Vegas. We toasted the new direction of our nation. When we became peckish, we ordered up the meatballs and the pigs in a blanket. Both provided tasty sustenance. My advice? Come early to the 8th Street Wine Cellar and grab a table in the back nearest the ever growing altar made of candle wax and empty wine bottles. The place is perfect for two or four but even more fun with six or eight. read more

I wish 8th Street Winecellar was by my apartment or maybe not because then I'd be a new member of AA with a belly full of cheese and cold cuts. BUT, no matter how far this place is, I'll venture out for girls nights. Why you ask??? Because 8th Street Winecellar has the best best best happy hour!!! Their $23 bottle of wine tastes smooth and delicious. Pair the bottle with their meat and cheese board and you'll be a happy camper. Service was over the top and I cannot wait to go back to this place. Now go check out their happy hour and order a bottle or 5. Enjoy! read more

YESSSS. THIS PLACE IS SPECTACULAR! I came here for the amazing $24 bottle of wine during their happy hour which ends at 8 PM. The service was impeccable and attentive. The waitresses made sure we always had water in our glass and our wines were filled. We got two different bottles of wine, a Malbec and a 2017 wine (I forgot the name). Anyways, I'm definitely coming here more often because of the affordable wines. I came on a Monday night and it wasn't crowded at all. Highly highly recommend this place to catch up with friends! It's also pretty romantic so a great place to bring a date as well. read more

I never knew this place existed. It's tucked away on a quiet street, and down a few stairs. If it weren't for their $1 oyster ad outside I would've never gone in. Glad I did. Service and cocktails are great. I had some spicy version of a margarita and it was excellent. The oysters were Blue Point and also very good, ask for Tabasco. read more

Lovely and cozy place. Food is great, especially the cheese variety. Great place for friends get together, a date or even to have a drink alone. Oh, and happy hour until 8PM! Total win in the Village! read more
