    NON-ALCOHOL NEGRONI COCKTAIL
    Alexandria R.

    My partner wanted just to try a new bar on a Saturday evening.He heard good things so why not give it a shoot. When stepped in the vibe was lit. It felt Intimate, if you sat in the back, or fun,if you sat at the bar. Food: 5/5 My partner got the hot dog and I got a modified guacamole ( can't handle pico) with some pita. They were both much better than we would have thought for a bar. Max's ability to manage all stations is incredible. Drinks: 4/5 My favorite was the non-alcoholic Negroni while my partner preferred the happy hour orange wine (for the flavor notes). I can't speak to wine but he said it was good for an orange wine. I really liked my drink but wish the hibiscus was stronger. All in all, I would go back! The service here was amazing considering it was a one man show! Like this dude needs a raise. Due to my medical condition, I was not able to enjoy their guacamole to the fullest but it was still very good.

    Really good cocktails! My friend and I came here upon recommendation from a waitress during our dinner. She did not disappoint. Its decently priced, I'm used to seeing $20+ cocktails in manhattan so this was nice.

    Ah ah ahhhh....AH! Ah ah ahhhh....AH! We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow... Okay, this isn't actually the spot where Zeppelin would be blasted, but for a $12-15 glass of wine in East Village, you could do worse. Bonus people watching spot, like the drunk girl who left her phone in the bathroom and the frat guy on a first date.

    Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

    My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

Overall the food is good; however, prices are a little steep for the size of the food. Out of all the items we tried, I enjoyed the hwe and tteokbokki the most. Space is small so reservations are highly recommended (which we did have). Service was good and food and drinks came out quickly.

First off, the front door is mounted on flimsy plastic hinges, so every time someone opens it, it swings open violently and knocks the vase off the nearby table. The service was somehow even worse. When I was there on Tuesday, May 19th from 8-10 PM, there was exactly ONE bartender working the entire place -- both inside and outside -- and she was unbelievably inattentive. My date and I sat at the bar for TWENTY MINUTES before she even acknowledged us or asked if we wanted drinks. I literally had to call out "Excuse me" just to order a $25 quarter-filled glass of wine. Embarrassing all around. And when we were ready to leave and wanted the check, the female bartender working on Tuesday May 19th from 8-10 PM was busy standing in the corner chatting with someone instead of helping customers. I haven't seen someone move this slowly or care this little since the DMV. TO MANAGEMENT - this was absolutely horrible, embarrassing, and unprofessional service. Clean up your act, and hire a second or even a third bartender.
