Natural wine bar and cafe with curated books and good vibes
"On Bergen Street, Anaïs (named for Anaïs Nin) felt like a focused literary wine bar: I found natural wine by the glass, snacks, and a selection geared toward 20th-century literature." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"I note it as one of the popular wine bars run by the Oberon Group." - Luke Fortney
"Anaïs is a natural wine bar where someone who can perfectly pronounce saucisson will pour you a glass of chilled red on tap. It’s clear that these people, who are also behind Rhodora and June, know a thing or two about wine bar design: there’s floor-to-ceiling windows, a marble bar, ample date spots, and a corner table in the window where you can eat anchovies and gossip. You’ll find their mostly French bottle selection displayed on a large bookshelf alongside early edition feminist erotica, because this natural wine bar isn’t like the other natural wine bars—it sells books, too. Buy a book, snack on pleasantly seedy sourdough, and listen to a couple reflecting on a strenuous day of brownstone shopping in Boerum Hill." - Willa Moore
"A wine bar from the team behind June, Rucola, and Rhodora that takes its name from erotica writer Anaïs Nin, will sell a curated collection of books imagined to fit Nin’s library, and offers small plates led by chef Diego Moya." - Emma Orlow
"A Boerum Hill wine bar from the team behind June, Rucola, and Rhodora, it’s named for erotica writer Anaïs Nin and will also sell a collection of books the team imagines Nin would have in her library or that are inspired by similar themes; it’s located at 196 Bergen Street at Bond Street and has a grand opening set for July 27." - Emma Orlow
