"“Where can my friend and I get a glass of wine after work where we can hear each other speak, and maybe eat something too?” is the question of the century. And if you’re in the Lower East Side, our answer will more often than not be The Ten Bells. Nice bar, great wine list, and a good, fun crowd. You’ll like it even more if you can make it for $1 Oyster Happy Hour, until 7pm daily." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"A long natural wine list and a daily $1 oyster Happy Hour make The Ten Bells one of the best casual date spots in Manhattan. As an added bonus, this place has a relatively secret string-lit backyard." - team infatuation
"“Ten Bells is iconic,” Goler says. “It has an old-school New York vibe with a tin ceiling and very knowledgeable bartenders. I love that you can tell them what you like or don’t like, and they will taste you on anything, no matter how long it takes to find a glass of something you will love.” Goler suggests sitting at the bar to chat up the bartenders and ordering a dozen oysters to pair with your wine. The welcoming experience is one that Goler aims to emulate at Tannat. “It’s totally okay to not know anything, and they were so forthcoming even when I was new to wine.”" - amber gibson
"Ten Bells is a wine bar with good small plates near Bowery Ballroom that’s a great meeting spot before your show if you’re waiting for your friends to trickle in from their various commutes. Their Happy Hour will also make you less likely to empty your wallet on overpriced beer at the show: they have $15 wine carafes and $1 oysters deals every day until 7pm." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
"A long-standing natural wine bar offering a vibrant atmosphere with knowledgeable staff, oyster happy hour, and a selection of tapas."
