New York's natural wine bars have their own scene: low lighting, genuinely curious pours, and room to linger. These spots built that culture, from the Lower East Side originals to newer neighborhood anchors in Brooklyn.
Lower East Side · 247 Broome St, New York, NY 10002
Natural wine by the glass, low lighting, and one of the better happy hours on the Lower East Side, a combination that keeps Ten Bells busy from the minute the doors open. Oysters and tinned fish anchor the food menu, wh…
Lower East Side · 76 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002
A natural wine bar that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The list leans funky, the vibe is more house party than wine bar, and if you don’t know the difference between pét-nat and skin contact, no one’s judging. Just …
