Worth it, says Antonina. Tin ceilings, custom ironwork and a dimly-lit wraparound bar earn Lelabar a spot on our list of charming New York City wine bars.

- From my guide, updated September 2026.
Tin ceilings, custom ironwork and a dimly-lit wraparound bar earn Lelabar a spot on our list of charming New York City wine bars. A date-night worthy destination, the bar is sophisticated yet relaxed and has more than 700 bottles (most of which can be ordered by the glass).
Don’t sleep on the daily happy hour for $12 glasses and $44 bottles along with light bites. Based on personal experience, service can be hit-or-miss, but by the second glass it hardly matters.
