Natural wine bar with zero waste ethos serving tapas
"I rely on Rhodora as a dependable Fort Greene neighborhood spot, particularly in warmer months when the outdoor area spills across the sidewalk; most bottles run $70 and up but there are always a couple of glass options, plus some cocktails and beer. What stands out is the sustainability commitment — aiming to be the country’s first no-waste wine bar with zero single-use plastics and exclusive use of upcyclable or compostable ingredients — and small plates like olives and tinned fish to extend your sipping." - Oset Babür-Winter, CNT Editors
"A Brooklyn wine bar that was part of the Oberon Group's portfolio and associated with the co-owner's earlier work running that group." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Every neighborhood has at least one wine bar serving small plates. In Fort Greene, it’s Rhodora. The wine list features small-farm, natural winemakers, which means anything you drink was probably made by someone named Brigitta who majored in International Relations before "finding themselves." Snack on some cheese or crab dip at a table on the sidewalk, but know that it’s the frequent pop-ups Rhodora hosts (check out their Instagram) that make it one of the more exciting places to eat in the neighborhood on any given night." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick
"Rhodora in Fort Greene focuses on wine made using small-scale, natural processes as part of the wine bar’s larger sustainable mission to produce zero waste. If you want to try natural wine from places like Germany, Austria, or a cave in Southeastern France, this place has one of the best lists in Brooklyn. The brick-walled dining room has tons of huge street-facing windows, and there’s also a very pleasant outdoor seating area. Food options include cheese, sourdough, pâté, and panzanella." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"If you’re looking for wine in the Fort Greene area, you’ve got plenty of options. But this wine bar is offering two weekly wine packs - one for $60 and the other for $120. And even if you just want one bottle, you can pick it up for free or get it delivered anywhere in Brooklyn." - nikko duren
