Consigliere

I was in town & a friend brought me here. Security checks your reservation & i.d. at the door. This is the perfect date night, gurls nite, or even a night out with the guys spot. Keep in mind that it’s a very intimate setting with first come first served seating & a few reserved spots. Very vibey, the music was on point, & the drinks were good. There’s even a pool table & t.v. that had the game on. I’d say this is for the late 20s to 30s crowd. Lots of eye candy, including the staff. Highly recommend.

I had a great time here my first visit. I didn’t try to get a table since I was solo, but I was able to find space at the bar fairly easily. The wine and cocktails were really good, particularly the Fowl Play and the Love You Bunches. I didn’t try any of the foods but probably will next time. The service was good and the DJ that was playing was excellent. I enjoyed the aesthetic and set up, and I do hope this place can last in downtown Newark!

I was really looking forward to trying this place and had it bookmarked for quite some time. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. As a bartender and someone who’s worked in the industry for years, I noticed that both the table service and host procedures could use some refinement. We were running a bit late for our reservation and tried calling ahead, but no one answered. When we arrived around 8:45, we learned that the kitchen would be closing in 15 minutes. Unfortunately, we weren’t seated until about 8:50 because the host was nowhere to be found. By the time our server greeted us, we had to quickly throw together a charcuterie order. Had we been able to reach someone earlier, we could have planned a more curated experience. Our wine also took a while to arrive, and from an operational standpoint, I think it would streamline service if servers handled wine while bartenders focused on cocktails. Overall, it was an average experience, not bad, but a bit disappointing considering how excited I was to visit.

Absolutely great place! Truly!! I’ve been several different days of the week and love that each time is a different vibe. It’s like you get to find the day of week that works best for you and what you are looking for. If you love the intimate vibes or love a good DJ night! There is a place for everyone’s vibe. Great cocktails and expansive wine selection. Wes (GM) so hospitable and knowledgeable about wines! All the bartenders are so friendly and a great time. A great space for wine, cocktails and curated sounds.

Beautiful wine bar with an extensive wine list and amazing cocktails (even mocktails!). So happy to finally have a grown and sexy spot to go to in Newark that also serves delicious small plates—especially the customizable charcuterie boards (duck prosciutto is a game changer). Our server and the bartenders were very friendly and the music was perfect, too. Can’t wait to go back!

This is my go to spot after a long hard day at work , a calm day off, and everything in between. I love everything about this establishment including the food, the drinks (especially the espresso martini), and most importantly THE STAFF’S ENERGY & ATTENTIVENESS IS UNMATCHED. If you enjoy good vibes, good music, and good drinks you’ll love it too.

Consigliere is a whole vibe. The space is meticulously designed, stylish, cozy, and full of character. The wine selections are thoughtful and well-curated, with something for everyone. Music is always on point and the attention to detail shows in everything from the glassware to the service. Staff is awesome and friendly. It’s clear a lot of love went into this place at every level. Easily one of Newark’s best new spots.

Jersey needed a place like this — covers all grounds that you look for in a wine bar and then some! Good wine and cocktails menu? ✅ Good music and service? ✅ Aesthetic and people? ✅ Love the events they host, really solid people and staff here.

I met up with my friend for a drink! When I arrived I found parking on the street nearby. I walked into the nicest spot! I sat at the bar and was served by some awesome bartenders. I had happy hour and ordered wine and other cocktails. Everything was great! I definitely will return!
