A cute and fun bar with delicious bites and drinks conveniently located in Williamsburg near the subway. I love how it is decorated inside and outside. (I was excited to finally see the lovely wine window in person!)
Party of 3 people on a Friday around 7. There is indoor and outdoor seating. When we arrived the earlier crowd was finishing up so we were able to get a corner table inside before they started filling up again. By the time we left the DJ had started and a lot of people were steadily coming in.
Please Tell Me was apparently inspired by classic Japanese listening rooms. There are weekly "Winyl" (wine + vinyl) parties that feature discounted glasses of wine. Per the Instagram page they also have some fun DJ nights other nights, plus I noticed that there was a brunch event this weekend. (PS I love that there is actual vinyl and turntables.)
They are probably best known on social media for the wine window that pays homage to the Buchette del vino of Florence, Italy. We had a lot of fun posing at the window!
You can order and receive wine through the window, and then enjoy the wine on Please Tell Me's patio or take it to go. (Note that takeout alcohol requires Ordering food per NYS law.)
Zae was working the bar that night and took our orders for food and drinks, and helped us decide on wine. Their cocktails look amazing but I had already been set to have one of their natural wines that night. Due to the popularity of Winyl Wednesdays they didn't have any rosé that night, so instead we each had the delicious Podrum Franjo Croatia 'Rudi' Sauvignon Blanc.
For food we shared:
The Brisk Stand Burger - amazing! 2 of us rarely order burgers but were told this was phenomenal and it definitely was!
Watermelon Salad with feta cheese - delicious and refreshing
El Rey (full charcuterie offerings) - we couldn't decide which to order so figured may as well sample the full set! This went really well with the white wine on a warm day.
I can't wait to come back to try the cocktails next, and definitely hope to make it here for Winyl Wednesdays.
