Pinkerton Wine Bar

On our list of the best wine bars in New York.

Candlelit tables and a run of antique oil paintings set the tone at Pinkerton, a wine bar on a quiet stretch of North 6th Street that skews toward regulars rather than a destination crowd. Oysters from both coasts anchor a raw bar that runs alongside cheese and charcuterie boards and small plates like meatballs and burrata, while the by-the-glass list changes weekly and leans toward natural and orange wines. A sidewalk patio opens the room up in warmer months, trading the antique decor and stained glass fixtures for people-watching along the block.
