A wine night in Midtown Manhattan
A glass to start, a table around the corner.
10 spots · Jump to the list
A wine bar is the low-pressure date: stay for one glass or four, and let the staff steer you if neither of you knows the list. Most pour a good range by the glass and serve small plates, so a wine bar works as the first stop before dinner or as the whole evening.
This guide ranks 10 wine bars in Midtown Manhattan. Editors' picks come first, then the rest by rating, and the plans below build a whole evening around the best of them.
