Amélie is a charming French wine bar in Greenwich Village, perfect for cozy dates or happy hour with delightful small plates, stellar wine flights, and a warm atmosphere.
"At this Greenwich Village wine bar, you can sit directly under a heat lamp and shed layers like a Midwesterner getting off a flight in Miami. Make a reservation if you plan to have dinner, or walk-in if you’re just looking for snacks and French wine." - team infatuation
"You could stick around Amelie for a full dinner, but we prefer it for Happy Hour, when you can have several wine flights for $13 each. Whether you get seats at the long bar or a high-top, servers will bring you tastes of various wines and offer curated wine that you should definitely accept. You can share some mussels and crab tartine if your date passes your rigorous initial screening criteria." - team infatuation
"Amelie is a French wine bar just north of Washington Square Park that’s perfect for a fun and relatively affordable first date. They have a great Happy Hour that runs Monday-Thursday when you can try half glasses of any three wines on the menu for $14. Whether you get seats at a high-top table inside the narrow bar or outside on the covered patio, a server will likely bring you tastes of various wines to help you decide what you want to drink. If you get hungry, you can always snack on mussels or a crab tartine." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
"It took a few months, but you just realized that your deskmate, like you, is into wine. As soon as you stop talking about making plans to drink together and actually do make plans to drink together, come to this Greenwich Village spot and try a Happy Hour wine flight." - hannah albertine
"We’re no stranger to drinking wine on flights—but only recently have we embraced drinking flights of wine. One explanation for this shift is “accepting our internal chaos” and a second is the outdoor Happy Hour at this French wine bar in the West Village with $13 wine flights (which involve three half-glasses of any wines on the menu). If you’re overwhelmed by the idea of choosing between all the options on the long international wine list, the servers are always happy to provide recommendations. Just know that there’s no Happy Hour offered on Friday or Saturday." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim
