8th Street Winecellar

I reserved the back area of the underground bar for my birthday and it was perfect. By the time we arrived, the owner himself welcomed us and helped us with our initial wine selection. As our guests arrived throughout the night, the bartenders made sure everyone had a wine glass and that no glass was ever empty. We were so impressed by the service and how accommodating the whole staff was. And of course the wine itself was great as well. Definitely recommend this place for celebrating a special event or even coming to casually enjoy affordable wine!

Best bartender ever! So knowledgeable and friendly. Allows tastings and makes sure you find your ideal glass of wine. Wine selection isn’t huge but it’s eclectic and they will help guide you to your final selection. Cheese board is amazing quality and also a lot of bang for your buck. It’s a go to wine bar in the neighborhood.

Pleasant local wine bar. Great service. Friendly and not pretentious. Tasty cheese board. Happy hour is relaxed and we didn’t feel rushed.

Nice wine bar. Staff did not want to engage in recommending specific things. It’s a perfectly fine place to go to for a drink - nothing more, nothing less

What a cute happy hour spot! We got a bottle of the Spanish red for $30, a cheese tray, and the arancini. So delicious. A perfect vibe for summer. Our server was sweet and knowledgeable as well, but there was a bit of miscommunication about our cheese tray. She said she would bring us the list of cheeses so we could choose, but she didn't come back for a while and then when we asked her about it, she said that the order is already in, so we didn't get to choose. It still tasted really good though so not too upset about that.

Visited on a quiet Sunday night. The bartender was very welcoming and the overall vibe was pretty chill. Interesting wine list. Would like to explore the food menu next time

Hidden gem. Was there on a Saturday night and the crowd was light. Had a fantastic drink called the Dirty Sherry. The atmosphere and vibe are chill and the service was wonderful. Can’t wait to go back.

Great experience. Charcuterie amazing. Glass wine selection needs improvement l. I can find great French or Sauvignon wines cheaper and better to serve. Bartender was amazing. She moves fast.

On a chilly Sunday while passing through Washington Square Park a friend and I decided to grab a drink. We were lucky to pass by this spot and decided to check it out. It being in a basement like level was pretty cool and inside the vibe was dark and cozy it was perfect. We ordered the sauv blanc bottle to split and the whole service was fantastic and the bottle delicious. At the end of the bottle we said goodbye to our bartender who was tending to the bar and the whole place herself. Overall, this was a great spot to relax in or visit with a date!

Walked in after grabbing dinner nearby for drinks with a friend. We got seated right away for a 2 person table in the corner by the window. The space was pretty busy, but the wait staff were still very attentive. They made sure our water was refilled. They have a good selection of wines and cocktails and I'll be sure to drop by again!

I came for NYE. Their prices are affordable and the happy hour wine is decent. I'd come back for wine if I were in the neighborhood.

A really nice, low key bar tucked away somewhere in East Village! My friends and I decided to stop by for a few drinks and snacks. I got the Con Job cocktail, and we got the baked potato tots and jalapeños cheddar arancini to share. All of it was delicious - I especially enjoyed the arancini, which had a light kick to it. We also really loved the waitress who served us, Kiki. She was so friendly and sweet, and she really made her time there really special! All in all, will definitely stop by again!

Cute little bar with a nice wine list and some interesting plates to share. Speaking there of we had the charcuterie board, really enough for 3 or 4 to pick at, olives ( dam good ) and some deviled eggs. We sat at the bar and it was pleasant. I had 2 meh margaritas and my guest had 2 glasses of wine. I pulled a star because of the drinks. But it's a dam cute spot for a quick glass of wine

We stopped in to just get one drink and stayed for four. We initially stopped by because we had walked a lot and needed a bathroom. The staff was amazing! And we loved the bacon wrapped dates so much we ordered seconds! We also sent the restaurant to all of our friends! Our waitress Kiki was fantastic, and so are her floral arrangements! Highly recommend!

Lively wine bar. Our experience was subpar, sadly. It was a bit too crowded, too loud. The cold breeze and active air conditioning blowing upon us didn't help. The decor didn't work for us, with a half-open service area in the back left corner. The servers seemed overwhelmed that weekend night. I gambled on an organic natural Nebbiolo and was not rewarded... too funky, astringent, and hard to drink. My wife didn't gamble on her white (forget which), but that wasn't a rewarding drinking experience either. We got to watch some patrons stage some tiktoks in the back! That was funny.

I LOVE 8TH STREET WINECELLAR!!! So good, the crowd is amazing so lively in such a cozy cute space. The happy hour is until 8 pm everyday and is such a steal. Great options of white, red, and rose and all glasses are $8 or bottles are $28. You really can't get any better than that! The food was pretty good too.

We were staying across the street at the Marlton and decided to give this place a try. We were not disappointed as we went here 3 nights in a row! The wine was great The service was great / informative and attentive Did not try the food but it looked good And the ambiance was very cozy

Loved this little wine bar that's tucked away in the West Village. Everything is very reasonably priced! They have happy hour everyday, even weekends! We got a $28 bottle of wine to share at the bar. Kiki was our bartender and she was so fun to talk to. After 8pm, it was crowded! They have so many unique wines, I can't wait to come back!

Really got lucky finding this great place! Four of us stopped in for some apps and drinks. From the moment we walked in Kiki (the manager) made us feel welcome. She was so kind in helping us with our food choices and as busy as she was we never felt rushed. We ordered 4 different apps to share and Kiki recommended a wine based on our likes which turned out to be wonderful. We had 2 different arancini dishes, wild mushroom risotto and grilled cheese with roasted tomato soup. All 4 were delicious! The food and service were excellent and we'll definitely be back. It was a warm, cozy inviting place!!

Really enjoyed our time here! Service is prompt and super helpful. We stumbled into this candlelit spot by Washington square and decided we were going to have a lil girls wine night. We ordered off of the happy hour wine menu which was an amazing deal by the way. We got one white bottle and one red bottle. Everything was delicious, including the tots we ordered on the side! Would definitely come back again for another wine night.

Updating again because I cannot stress enough - I come here for Kiki. Such an intelligent, kind, patient woman AND she keeps me so safe with severe, severe allergies. I will follow her anywhere and if 8th Street Wine Cellar is where she is, i'm there.

Blink and you miss it...seriously, it's in a basement! Took me a minute to make sure I knew where I was going, but I can't even dock a star for that. 8 buck happy hour till 8pm! AND bottles for 28! Let's go! The bites are nice to share and snack, and come on, charcuterie and wine are like milk and cookies bring a date, bring pals, bring your cute self and a book. The music isn't loud here either, or at least before 8 when I'm here. I'd definitely categorize this as a quiet bar.

I came here for a happy hour dinner with my friend. We both had white wine paired with these delicious plates. We are OBSESSED with the Mac and Cheese. The patatas have a lovely chipotle aioli to contrast from their starchy texture. Our server Kiera was also so kind to us. The only reason this review is not 5 stars is because it got a bit loud and packed later into the night.

Awesome space; terrific wine list. Rented for private event - the staff was great...small plates were great too.

What is better than happy hour wine to celebrate a sweaty fun 305 fitness work out? After our work out class, we quickly did a search for good happy hour deals around the neighborhood. This place is just a few stores down from the west village 305 fitness location. It was semi-full for 5:30 pm on a Wednesday. There seemed to be only one person working, which wasn't an issue. We quickly got water and were able to put a bottle of happy hour wine in for about 28 dollars. The happy hour doesn't include food. The food options looked great. We weren't planning to get dinner here so we split the mushroom quesadilla, which was a great choice! This will remain a great happy hour option post-305 fitness workout in the future.

The wine was good! Not bad ambiance. But I was pretty shocked by how unkind both the host and the bartender were. Multiple occasions where they made it clear how little they wanted me there and disdain they had for me. Will not be back.

It's a Tuesday night. You've finally recovered from the weekend and it's time to have a post-mortem with the girls. How did Saturdays' brunch go with Doug? Did you stay over at Chad's? Is Chris looking to move in soon? 8th street wince cellar has great Happy Hour bottles at $28, which means for the price of a wax we can discuss all the sordid details from last week and plan this week's escapades. Amy said said the Montepulciano "tantalized" her tongue. Party sure that's what she described she did to Chris's d!ck last weekend Give this place a try, but keep the tick-tockers away! No need to blow this spot up with Gen-Z

Extremely disappointing to say the least... my friend and I walked in to get drinks and inquire about becoming servers at 8th Street Winecellar and the woman working at the time could not have been more rude, condescending, or dismissive. Not only would I never want to work at a place like this where the employees are the least bit welcoming or kind, but I will never be back as a customer. I never post reviews but this was an awful place.

I always have a good time at this establishment. They have delicious food, good wine (even on happy hour) and staff are wonderful. I come here a couple of times a month. Def recommend!!

Had a small bday get together here that went great! Good wine. Good little bites. Also took my mom here on another occasion for a quick drink. Kiki absolutely rocks!!!

Lovely and cozy place. Food is great, especially the cheese variety. Great place for friends get together, a date or even to have a drink alone. Oh, and happy hour until 8PM! Total win in the Village!

I went here for a happy hour with a friend and the experience was beyond lovely (even though we were outside in the cold, because ya know... covid). We were given really warm blankets because we were sitting outside. Our waitress was fantastic and really knew her wines and cheeses. She was able to provide us with really coherent tasting notes for all the wines we asked about. Also $8 glasses for happy hour! We ended up getting a cheeseboard and two different reds. The accompaniments on the cheeseboard were delightful and they rotate the cheeses so you can come back and have something different every time. Looking forward to coming more frequently once covid is over!

Happy Hour: $7 for a glass of wine $23 bottles of wine Monday - Friday: 4pm - 8pm After 8pm - 11pm: $1 oysters What a gem this place is. The vibe is GNO/Date Night/Group of friends catching up in a dimly lit room. I came here on an impromptu date night and there were plenty of seats available at 7:30pm on a Friday. The 5 different types of cheeseboard will run you $23, but easily shareable - and you can order more bread! The tater tots - you can skip this because at $9 it's kind of a rip off. The mushroom sauce is what makes it decadent but I still do not feel that the price justifies the portion, and the fact they're just tater tots from a wholesaler. I'm giving this place 5-stars purely off the fact that I had a really good time, with 0 crowds, pretty late HH specials, and moderate noise level. Will I be back? Yes and I've already rallied my girlfriends to go with me.

Haven't seen a friend from college since 2015. Since then I've been through three jobs and moved to NYC on my own! How time flies. We've always had major goals to hang out and catch up, but it did not happen until last Friday. My friend picked his place because she's been there before with her boy friend. Happy hour is 4-8 pm and you can get a bottle of wine for $27. We both had two bottles so... one bottle each? Let me tell you, happy hour was very happy. We also got the charcuterie board as well because I haven't eaten much that day. Let me tell you. It is delicious! Good company always seem to boost my ratings by one more star, but this place is a good place for a casual happy hour in the village. 100% recommend!

This place is small and super packed during happy hour (4-8pm). That said, the deals are very good - so was thankful that I got a seat at the bar on a Thursday evening. Again, happy hour special is solid - $7 glasses of house red or white and $24 bottles of various items. Settled on the house red and a plate of olives ($4). Pour is generous considering it's a sale price and actually strong. Olives come with a pot to throw seeds in, topped with oil and chili flakes. Service is friendly despite the crowd, and never felt I needed to flag anyone down. If you can get a seat, worth the trip.

Visited 8th Street Winecellar for happy hour on Saturday night. Delicious food, excellent wine, fantastic prices, and exactly the vibe you hope for when sipping on wine. Quality: Decided to take advantage of a final happy hour before city restrictions set-in, so visited the wonderful 8th Street Winecellar. They had a solid list of wine bottles with happy hour pricing, of which we indulged in two. And as we enjoyed our wine, we also snacked on the Deviled Eggs and the Meat And Cheese Board. Both perfect dishes to share. The Deviled Eggs were extremely creamy and had a little piece of crispy prosciutto placed on top. The Meat And Cheese Board was a diverse selection of cheeses, meats, pate, and accoutrements. Perfect to play with as you enjoy some wine. Quantity: The Meat And Cheese Board was impressive, and the affordable wines are easy to keep flowing. Value: $9 for the Deviled Eggs. $28 for the Meat And Cheese Board. $26 for a selection of Wine Bottles during happy hour. Ambiance: 8th Street Winecellar is located in Greenwich Village, just two blocks from Washington Square Park. The name is accurate, as it is very much a basement bar. And while you may hesitate upon first look, definitely take that journey downstairs, as the space is ideal. With a long bar on the right, a small kitchen on the left, and plenty of cozy spots to sit, it is everything you need for a fun evening. Candles flickered on every table, the music was a great mix of relaxing jazz, and even as it filled up, the bar maintained its laid back vibe. Crowd: Quiet during happy hour, but folks poured in later on what many knew would be the last true Saturday for some time. Service: Extremely friendly bartender. She made sure to take good care of us while also taking social distancing precautions. Parking: Very limited street parking in the area.

Great date spot and happy hour spot (4-7PM) for $25 bottle of wine! It's a sister restaurant from Bibi. Love the ambience and it has a dim romantic vibe to it too. The charcuterie board with the chef choice of meat and cheese were delicious! I'd definitely would come back here.

Years since my last review of this place and it keeps getting better. The mac and cheese still slaps. The mussels were excellent. Happy hour price has gone up $5 but still the best deal in town with a variety of really nice wines. On a personal note, my party had an unpleasant interaction with another customer recently. I was incredibly impressed by how quickly and professionally the waitress handled the situation and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The wine is a reason to come, the exceptional service is a reason to stay.

Came here to catch up with some GFs, ordered oysters, charcuterie, bruschetta ALL 4, and of course a selection of 4 cheeses for a cheese board! BTW HH bottles of Wine for $25, blue point oysters for $1! HH until 8pm Definitely a place to come hang out, grab a bit, and chat!

Went for happy hour while waiting for our dinner reservations next door. $24 bottles of wine was a super great deal. Had a dozen oysters, which were great. Cheese and charcuterie board. Excellent. The service was good. Groovy tunes . It was quiet enough to talk to my friends. This was a totally worth while visit!!

Ok so I came back here after 3 years and I can truly say that this place has redeemed themselves in my eyes. I wanted to update this review in complete fairness because I had a totally different experience here the second time around. My friend and I came here on a Friday for happy hour and did the $24 bottles of wine. Rather than waiting for a table which could be time consuming we were lucky enough to grab chairs at the bar. We were hungry so we decided to order a few things; the mushroom quesadilla, the pork sandwich and the fish (tilapia) tacos. To my surprise everything was actually really good and I did not feel sick after as I did the first time I was here. Again, this was a much better experience and I would definitely come back here especially for the happy hour. P.S. I was intending to drink the Malbec but it wasn't rich enough for me so I went with the Chardonnay. If you are doing the happy hour bottles ask to try the wine first!

I wish 8th Street Winecellar was by my apartment or maybe not because then I'd be a new member of AA with a belly full of cheese and cold cuts. BUT, no matter how far this place is, I'll venture out for girls nights. Why you ask??? Because 8th Street Winecellar has the best best best happy hour!!! Their $23 bottle of wine tastes smooth and delicious. Pair the bottle with their meat and cheese board and you'll be a happy camper. Service was over the top and I cannot wait to go back to this place. Now go check out their happy hour and order a bottle or 5. Enjoy!

YESSSS. THIS PLACE IS SPECTACULAR! I came here for the amazing $24 bottle of wine during their happy hour which ends at 8 PM. The service was impeccable and attentive. The waitresses made sure we always had water in our glass and our wines were filled. We got two different bottles of wine, a Malbec and a 2017 wine (I forgot the name). Anyways, I'm definitely coming here more often because of the affordable wines. I came on a Monday night and it wasn't crowded at all. Highly highly recommend this place to catch up with friends! It's also pretty romantic so a great place to bring a date as well.

I never knew this place existed. It's tucked away on a quiet street, and down a few stairs. If it weren't for their $1 oyster ad outside I would've never gone in. Glad I did. Service and cocktails are great. I had some spicy version of a margarita and it was excellent. The oysters were Blue Point and also very good, ask for Tabasco.

Come here for their happy hour! My friend and I split a bottle, which they end up pouring 3 glasses each for us. Well worth the money. Happy Hour: 5 - 8 PM Weekdays. $7 for a glass of White/Red/Rose/Prosecco. $23 for a bottle of White/Red/Rose/Prosecco. We did not order any food as we had made plans to eat nearby. However, the table next to us got the fish taco and the cheese plate which looked great! I don't know how they would taste, though. Overall, it has a nice ambiance and chill place to catch up with your friends or bring your date. We were here on a Friday night around 7:30 so it was quite packed and a bit loud but it didn't affect us from having a great time. I will definitely visit this place again and next time, I will try the food here as well.

Very affordable deals on shareable wine and cheese plates! Wait staff were very attentive refilling wine and water, and checking if we needed anything through our visit. Will definitely return for the cute atmosphere and affordable tasty treats!

Happy Hour. 4-7pm daily. $21 bottle of wine / $6 per glass of wine. Of course, I had to take advantage of this. I showed up on a Friday night around 6 pm and managed to snag a table with my girlfriends. The wine is extremely reasonable, so we got a bottle of white and a bottle of sparking. We also had the potato skins which was not bad. This place isn't loud, its very chill and relaxed. Perfect for dates, perfect for small groups who like to be able to hold a conversation without shouting.

My wife loves this place. I came to check it out and found it to be very cool. This is a perfect date spot. As we noticed a lot of people were on dates. This place has a chill vibe and good wine. Not much more you could ask for! It isnt fancy either like some wine bars. This creates a great relaxing atmosphere which is something i like. Enjoy!

This is a hidden gem. Came for HH which offers $25 bottles of wine and $8 glass on the wine of the day (one red and one white). Not at all crowded on a Hump Day Happy Hour, and cozy as can be. Great for a first date. We split a bottle of Carménère (12.50 a person...yassss) and the fig, bacon, and mascarpone app. Delish! Great spot to get away from the crowded happy hour spots in the village and the bartender always kept my water full. Would def recommend!

Best happy hour hands down. Male and female waitresses helped us. My glass stayed filled. Great customer service with a smile. Come here!

Love this wine bar. It also has great happy hour daily till 8pm! Can't wait to come back soon.

had the most lovely time here! perfect for a first date. incredible happy hour, the waitstaff was so nice helping us pick out which bottle to get. left feeling effervescent. can't wait to return again!

Went here for happy hour with some girlfriends today to split a bottle of wine! Great deal with $25 bottles was able to give all 4 of us a decent sized glass. However the only thing they have is wine and beer with some appetizer foods. The atmosphere was really nice although dark and loud from conversations since the whole place was full of people! I think this would be a great date spot. Overall good experience.

I came back here again on Thursday night and had a much better experience this time around. The server we got this time was a lot more friendly and outgoing, and the staff who helped us made this experience a lot more pleasant. This time around, it was on par with Bibi. The atmosphere was just as nice as the time before, maybe even a bit better because it wasn't nearly as crowded as when we went the last time (a Wednesday, a little early on in the evening). I ordered the Cune Rioja, which is a wonderful bottle, and saw a couple of other bottles on the list I'm definitely interested in trying in the future. For glasses, I still say the Corvina is one of the best. I'll be back in the future for some more bottles!

Stumbled upon this place straight after a disappointing anniversary dinner at Amèlie. It was a pleasant contrast to my meal prior. The atmosphere was chill and dimly lit. I ended up sitting at the bar and having Sam take care of my boyfriend and I. She was super friendly and funny, also made very good suggestions on the menu. We got a few drinks, the last of the $1 oysters special, and a S'more in a Jar to share. My cocktail; Hot Nikkers was awesome. I loved that it was very very spicy, maybe too much for most people. You don't get much of the mango flavor from it but I didn't mind. Boyfriend got the Mary'ann and Ginger, the drink was like a dark and stormy. This one was alright. Dessert was interesting, very gooey and I got the graham cracker flavor but the chocolate was in an unexpected form. This dessert is more like a crumbly cake with toasted marshmallow. Next time I'm in NYC, I'll probably stop by again for the late night oyster special.

Great happy hour with $22 bottles. The food is all very homemade and as the night goes on you realize this is a very homy spot that leads to great nights

Pretty nice place for happy hour in Greenwich. We went there on a Thursday night, made it before HH which ended at 8. They have bottle of wine specials $22 each, with a handful of options. We had the sauvignon blanc which was pretty nice.. Pretty good vibe, my only complaint was the loud noise, I literally had to shout across the table to talk... maybe I should sit at the bar next time Didn't get to try any of the food this time but I saw some cheeseboards and they looked yummy!
