LELABAR

I love the cheese and wine here, it’s pretty inside and the bartenders are always friendly

This is a smaller wine bar that has a dark, cozy ambiance. The happy hour prices are good, but choices are minimal. Highly recommend the cheesy bread with honey butter, those were delicious. The HH red wine choice was also pretty good. It’s a nice place to stop in.

Cozy, dimly lit wine bar that is inviting. Prices for happy hour are very reasonable, a bottle of red wine costing $44. For nibbles we tried the goat and double cream cow cheese that came with a homemade apricot jam and spicy chutney - both which were very good. We sat at the bar in front of where they were prepping ingredients so got some marcona almonds and a spoonful of their delicious chocolate mousse. Would definitely come back.

Cool wine bar with a wide selection of wines but they need staff who do a better job characterizing and selling their wines - we had someone basically convince us that wine they had wasn’t even worth tasting which confused us. Outdoor vibes are great when the weather is warmer but they’re extremely limited so come early. They have a live jazz band on evenings which is cool!

Cozy Wine Bar with Stellar Service I had a delightful experience at Lelabar, a charming little wine bar. The ambiance was warm and inviting. But what truly stole the show was our waitress, Sarah. Sarah was attentive and knowledgeable without being overbearing. She helped us navigate the extensive wine list, offering thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. Her passion for wine was infectious, and she made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We ended up trying a delicious orange wine that Sarah recommended, and it paired perfectly with the cheese plate we ordered. The selection of cheeses was impressive, and the accompaniments (artisan bread) were all top-notch. The wine selection is excellent, the food is delicious, and the service is truly outstanding. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Sarah, you're in for a real treat!

Amazing food and service. Met my bestie for some bites and drinks after work. Our bartender (short dark hair, glasses) was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She was energetic and gave the best recommendations. Even tried an orange wine (who knew!?) that complimented our shrimps and cheese. Yummy in my tummy. 100% recommend.

Met up with a friend here last night and think I might have found my new favorite wine bar. The atmosphere is so fun and energetic and with a reservation (since it's really hot in NYC right now) you can sit inside by the bar and enjoy the AC. To this end, do think they might need to get the AC cranked higher because it did get hot at the bar. The happy hour ends at 6P so get there early to partake of a good assortment of wine and snacks. Here's where I think they really provide a great experience. Their cheese and meat plates are perfectly curated. Lelabar - Give the man putting them together a promotion. Not only was he the friendliest person in there, he clearly is an artist. ⭐️ The only reason I gave a 4 on service was because it did take quite a while to get the bartender's attention initially (and it was crowded so understandable) but then he was lovely throughout. Great time. Will be back!

Lelabar gets it right across the board - from their stellar selection of wines to their curated list of cheese, charcuterie and menu of small bites to their beautifully designed and inviting space. The staff is warm and welcoming - they are extremely knowledgeable about their wines and will always ensure that you are drinking exactly what you’re in the mood for. They have outdoor seating in the summer, and I love sitting with a glass of orange, a fennel salad and noshing on their dangerously delicious bread. This is not only my local but go-to bar for all occasions!
