Libera

Wow! I was really impressed with this dark, hidden, gem of a wine bar. It's in the basement of the Ace Hotel and there are no signs or directions on how to get there. You just kind of have to know. However, go downstairs toward the restrooms and hang a right and keep going. There will be three doors at the end of that hallway that are not marked. Go on in and have a great time. I went for a wine tasting event and I can't wait to go back to this place. I understand that they have a DJ and dancing late at night.

Find Libera as a incredible hide away at the Broadway. Loud music, dimmed red lights and a spacious floor is giving you the intimacy and the vibe you need to: propose your girlfriend, get drunk with your boss, yap with your bestie or just remind after a tough day of work. Great hospitality and Max is a curator of good vibes and better wines! What a place to be!

Love this wine bar! Since January I’ve been here a few times, always loved my experience. Saturdays they have DJs with great vibes. The Somm Max is always by your side for some unusual recommendations which hit every time. Finally a good spot in Flatiron which is worth the hype!!

newly opened and I was truly amazed by this experience!! The amazing wine selection shoves joy down your throat, with excellent service from the sommeliers. For food I recommend the Octopus in garlic & the Razor Clams in Brine can recommend

My friend and I came from Toronto to stay at Ace Hotel and were super overwhelmed with everything in the city. We met Lucas at Libera and he was so kind and made us feel so welcome! He made our experience so much better. We saw him our second night here again and were so excited. What a kind and awesome person. We need more people like Lucas in the world!!

Delightful hidden spot which is exactly what you want from a wine bar. Stunning decor, intimate lighting, fab (but not loud) music, interesting wine and - most importantly - really great service.

Staff in general are super nice, servers were the best part of the place. It’s a wine bar but there werent many wines to choose from, not even by the bottle. Food, don’t even bother, they’ll bring a can of clams and charge you 30usd for it. For a Friday night it was very quiet.

unfortunately not a good experience. owner came to our table and “invited” us for a drink with him and and offered a dessert “on the house”. we thought that was because it was the opening of the bar. in the end we were charged for everything including the bottle he drank with us (we neither ordered nor asked for it nor did we know the price. funnily enough it was the most expensive bottle on the menu!). when raising this concern he just said he gave us a friends discount on the bottle he drank with us of 10%.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. This is a realllll speakeasy considering the entrance is literally downstairs and next to the bathrooms of a hotel bar. My only thing is that bathrooms aren't knowing for smelling like flowers so the initial entrance is less than ideal. Once you're past coat check, you're golden. My expectations were completely surpassed when I visited. Every bit of the inside is gorgeous from the bar, which was full of empty wine bottles to create the illusion, to the vinyl showcased on the wall. We grabbed a glass of wine and left for our next stop, but the service was very quick and friendly! I liked that the vibe was super laid-back but still sophisticated. Looking forward to my next visit already!

Another cute spot for a date or just vibe night with friends. It has a very speak easy vibe, basement of the ace hotel. This was a 2nd location of a night out. Make reservations, but we were able to get a table w/o mainly b/c I was sweet like saccharine...lol. You can enjoy a bottle with your date or friends. They a have a few wines that you can get by the glass. They also have a few classic cocktails you can order. I will definitely be back!
