Excellent wine bar. Great bartenders. They ask you good questions to get a sense of what you would like. Affable, spirited, and not intrusive. Easy going spirited crowd. We had an outstanding California cabernet. Had a great white on a prior visit. Didn t get a chance to try to their food menu, ...
What a gem! The servers are super knowledgable, the wines are really great value for money and there are enough people there to help create a great atmosphere while not being too crowded.
Cute, small and cozy wine bar with a lovely happy hour.
An absolute gem wine bar in nyc. The bars ambiance is fantastic, the servers are informed and efficient. Unbeatable happy hour too.
Really good place to come for a drink, and relax after work. Just make sure to get in early to grab a seat at the bar.
Amazing date place or chill place to get a glass of wine. Great selection of white, red and orange wines with great bites as well. This place is ideal because the neighborhood is rather quiet and doesn t get crowded like many other winebars in the area. Several times I ve been there they ve had a...
My favorite spot for some wine! I ve been here a few times and every visit I ve had great customer service. Our waitress today was very kind and even on a busy Thursday, she made sure we were taken care of. Many wine selections available and my favorite and best place for meats and cheeses! I ll kee...
Great assortment of wine, cheese, and meats! Make a charcuterie plate and enjoy it with one of their rose lemonades. It's pricey, but you can find a groupon for it.
Ok some of you are going to think I m crazy but come here and 1000% order the anchovies. It is so rich and delicious and salty and yummy, there was a time when I would have never ordered this but that time is over - Lelabar converted me to an anchovies eater. They also have great happy hour deals on...
Great selection, knowledgeable bartenders, equally great patrons.
Nice bar, $16 cups of wine.
I'm giving a bit of a lower rating because the bartender was a bit inopportune.
Fab wine bar incredible selection (all by glass if buy 2!), 5 7:30 happy hour every day ($1.50 oysters Wed/Sat). Not super-cozy, but moody and chic.
Nice place, huge selections of wines and cold cuts. A little overpriced as to me, all white people there. I wish it was bigger and not as hot inside.
Great happy hour. Small, cozy and great tapas happy hour options.
Very cozy small bar with great happy hour and snacks! Get here early it fills up quick
What a location!!
Stopped by to celebrate a mini Bday for our friend and we were so graciously greeted by not only the staff but the Patrons as well. Chris Chris Chris, an asset to Lelabar! Chris knows his customers especially his wine. Will definitely come to this establishment again and order ne...
Great wine selection, awesome charcuterie and cheese plates, and a lovely ambiance!
Delicious food and wine but a little too pretentious for my taste.
Comfy. Cozy. Bar.
Perfect for wines and small bites.
Truffle polenta.
This wine bar knows their stuff! Super cozy neighborhood spot.
Hidden spot! Quite romantic, bring your date! Great wine selection and exceptional atmosphere
Fantastic wine choices, especially for the Happy Hour! These people really know their wines! Delicious salami boards. Very reasonable prices. And perfect atmosphere when it's busy.
just what a wine bar should be. a very nice carte de vins, tasty nibbles, no one hurrying you, and a bat that accommodates both sitting and getting to know your neighbours. can get loud - but not too uncomfortably so
First date with my future wife was here! Great atmosphere and wines by the glass.
Always great for oysters and experimenting w new wines. The smoked salmon is exceptional!
If you are in the neighborhood please check out this place, the wine selection is top notch, the small bites are fantastic and they have great deals on oysters twice a week. But what keeps me coming back is the superior service, the never fail to recognize us upon our visits and they make us feel ri...
Servers were very knowledgeable about the wine list, and made informative suggestions when asked. Intimate place but despite quite heavy patronage, offered excellent service. Can get a bit loud due to brick walls and tin ceilings, so prepare.
A cozy spot to enjoy a vast array of wines alongside a selection of meats, cheeses, and small plates. Happy hour was packed, but still managed to find a seat with a little patience. Great choices by the glass, but if you want to be adventurous you can get one of the 700 bottles from the list. Also, ...
Really nice wine bar. Not very large spot so it can get crowded but their weekday happy hour menu is a great value.
Cute spot, great wines and small bites, nice for a date or a catching up with the girls
Decent selection of open and Coravin by the glass bottles
We love to come here for the vast wine list and $1 oyster special. Great happy hour deals too!
If you're looking for a small, cute wine bar with exceptional small bites, this is your place. The cheese and truffle panini is unforgettable.
Cute spot for a nice glass of wine. They have great happy hour specials and a fun crowd. We were lucky enough to sit next to the open window on one of the nicest days of the spring so far...
My favorite little wine bar! Cozy, extensive wine selection and great cheese boards with nice accoutrements
Awesome wine bar with a fantastic choice of great wines. Chris, the manager is very knowledgeable and can guide you to some wine that you'll love. Try the wagyu sliders and the Cheese Trio sandwich!
Nice place, good focaccia bread and wine but very very loud!
I went on a Friday night with a friend for happy hour and we could barery hear each other
I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :)
Food: Oysters and Artisanal Cheese plates are what I recommend. They offer special pairings of oysters and wine as a happy hour offer.
Drinks: Excellent. Great wine selection.
Space: Very elegant and modern wi...
Great Happy Hour wine bar. Little tight from a room prespective but definitely nice.
Chillest little wine bar with good prices. Low key. Sans music. Good place to chill and chat, which is hard to come by in Manhattan proper.
Fine dining place with small with high chairs,
Has friendly staff,
Reservation recommended.
Competent, efficient staff. Gourmet experience. Vella patrons enjoying the happy hour trying to get laid.
Excellent, extensive wine list in a very cozy, warm spot. Our favorite place to settle in for a glass of wine (or two) in the WV for sure.
Tip: They will open nearly any bottle for you if you order 2 glasses of it - even it if it's not originally on their "by the glass" list.
Tip: Happy hour until...
Been here for five minutes, but there's no pretentious vibe, so it's an instant 5-star establishment.
Very nice place and setting. Good wines and tapas. Too bad the space is so small.
Very fun ambiance... Drinks are just as fun...and strong! Bartenders know what they are doing and craft these drinks perfectly! I know they have food which I would love to try! We waited about 10minutes to get in on a Saturday night which was not bad at all. I'll be back again!
Ok place. I Was expecting more careful service as i was highly recommended by locals. Perhaps we just got there too early (just opened). Next time in the city perhaps ill give it another try. One extra star for faith
Great little wine bar. Can get a bit crowded but if you go outside of peak times it s a great place to hangout with a friend.
Nice spot for drinks in the W Village. Good selection of wines and nice happy hour deal. Bar can get crowded and loud after 8pm, so get early to grab a seat around the circular bar!
Lovely bar, fantastic wine selection and really great staff
This was a find! Amazing selection of wines and great snacks. Get the cheese and meat platter. The staff here is really knowledgeable and they will pair your snacks with the wine should you wish so. I liked the round bar setting because you get to see barmen work their magic and you can easily stri...
Fun happy hour with great wine and charcuterie. The place gets packed and it's hard to move around during happy hour but bartenders were happy to help with selections and even looked out for a seat.
Solid wine bar w cheese plates. Easy going and low key. No real food.
Great wine selection and the snacks are great! It can get pretty crowded with the post work happy hour folks though.
Very knowledgeable staff, great food (the panini and the salmon are out of this world)
Two years in a roll to celebrate my birthday in LELABAR. I like to sit by the bar and grab a bottle of Japanese beer. I know this is not the only place in the city to carry this beer, but the vibe here is quite enjoyable. Look forward to coming back soon.

This is my favorite wine bar in Manhattan. The servers are always so friendly and the food is to die for. I wish they had some outdoor seating for the summer though :)
Amazing place, great atmosphere, excellent wines let the bartender recommend !!! A cheese and meat platter that completes the experience. Highly recommended !!
Love this place! Stumbled upon here while looking up wine bars in the area. The place is small and cozy, and set up in a circle (can see how this can get crowded during peak hours). There is an extensive wine menu and great little apps to pick at. Had the burrata and olives and it was perfect! Will ...
Very nice place, tasty food and good wine selection
Excellent happy hour 5-7:30. Select
Glasses $8 and select bottles $28. Wed & Sat $1.50 oysters. Casual vibe with very knowledgeable staff. Great for meeting after work for wine and light snacks.
