The wine list is exquisite, my favorite being the Spanish Grenache but their California cabernet was absolutely delightful as well.The food was wonderful, plentiful and delicious. The cheese plate was fantastic and varied and Jackie was incredible in helping us decide which cheese and meat to pair with the wine we were drinking.In fact, Jackie was the best part of this already perfect evening! Shes warm, kind and an amazing host.The restaurant is beautiful, the food and wine enjoyable and the service was comforting and wholesome.Oh and the presentation was stunning… simply beautiful plating!Thank you for an utterly enjoyable evening on this last 80 degree day of 2024 💜 -

Forgot to post this review a while back but loved it and it should be known!My boyfriend and I on a Friday night walked by and saw live music going on and it peaked our interest, though the music seemed to just be wrapping up. The owners saw us outside and started chatting with us, talking about the beginnings of the bar and the changes in the neighborhood. They seemed like lovely people, so we decided wed come the next weekend to try out the scene, and my goodness--SO glad we did.Now we missed the happy hour but we did still get to catch the live music of the week, which was a very cool Balkan Jazz Band. We saw the owners again (they remember us!), and we ordered some wine as per their recommendation. The red wine my boyfriend ordered was particularly really tasty, and as someone that doesnt normally try red wines even I was into it (it was a Red Tuscan wine, total recommend). We also tried the hummus and chocolate cake. The cake was good, moist and rich in all the right places, but definitely too big a piece to finish on my own. The hummus actually surprised me with how good it was and that really stood out.Overall, with the classy ambiance and all, I love this wine bar, the sweet owners, and the wine selections they have to offer. I will certainly be coming back so I can get a taste of more wines on this list, and so I can try the Truffle Mac and Cheese I keep hearing about! -

One of the signature spots, and one of my personal faves, in all of Sunnyside! Great selection of beer, wine and spirits. Kevin, owner and bartender, has great conversations. The food is awesome around: charcuterie boards, flatbread pizzas, etc. My personal faves are the salmon tartine and clam chowder. Also live music many nights. Whats not to like? -

I’m turning into a regular here. The service is so friendly it feels like Cheers. The flatbread pizzas are really tasty as are their hummus options and meatballs. There’s live music on the weekends and plenty of outdoor seating. Love this spot. -

This wine bar is a neighborhood gem! I have been living in Sunnyside for about 3 years now & come back regularly. The owners Kevin & Jaci really care about their business & community. It shows in everything from their food & wine selection to the variety of weekly live music they bring in. Best happy hour in the neighborhood by far!! My favorites to get here aside from their charcuterie board or flatbreads are the truffle mac n cheese, mussels pil pil, and meatballs. If you are looking for a cozy wine bar in the neighborhood then this is your spot! -

I’ve been coming to Claret for years and realized recently I had never written a review. Last week I enjoyed the most beautiful and delicious Caesar salad with grilled shrimp that I knew it was time to post!The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and, side note, throw a kick ass Halloween party every year which I am looking very forward to. -

Neighborhood favorite. Excellent menu and great drinks, though it’s the people (Jackie, Kevin, Neil, Bob, and Jen) who make this place as special as it is.The Champignon Pizza with honey and red pepper flakes is 🤌🏼🤌🏼 -

Best Advise! JACKIE IS ONE OF THE BEST WAITRESSES I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! PLEASE, GIVE THIS GIRL A RAISE! 😂 The food, The drinks, The live music, the place, the bar, the service, they allow dogs, kids, it is a family place in the middle of Sunnyside which is an amazing neighborhood in Queens, New York; the atmosphere of it makes this place more magic than what it already is!!!! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! This was our first but not our last time! THIS IS A NEW YORK MUST SEE! Loved it! -

Claret is a gem in the neighborhood that should not be taken for granted. Kevin, Jaci, Justin, Neil, and the kitchen staff all are amazing and very friendly which makes you feel at home. Good wine selection and delicious food. I recommend Sizzling Shrimp, Tomato Soup, Charcuterie & Cheese Plate, and Smoked Salmon Tartine, these are the ones that I have tried so far and did not disappoint. They have live music every Friday and offer various genres and music for every taste. I have listened to the majority of the bands and I can assure you that everyone is exceptionally talented and the majority of them are classically trained. They try to support local talents first which is very important to support local. You dont need to go to Manhattan to enjoy great music and jazz, just go to Claret to satisfy your cravings for great music and great food with a nice vibe. Youll thank me later. -

Had the most enjoyable time at Claret Wine Bar! Our party of three arrived early, but Claret quickly filled up. Definitely a hidden gem in the charming neighborhood of Sunnyside. Jackie was most welcoming and treated us like family. When she heard it was my husbands birthday, she treated him to a Creme Brule! The food was delicious! I love that you can customize your own charcuterie board...there are so many options. A great place to relax, laugh and appreciate good times. -

Nice little spot to sit outside on the corner of Skillman to grab a drink and a quick bite before going out. Our server was great, but not overly friendly. The hummus and salmon tartine were just okay, but the prosciutto pizza was better (which they recommended). I can’t speak much about the wine since I don’t drink it, but I would say you go here mainly for the vibe, and likely the reason it’s always busy. I live a few blocks away and would definitely come back. -

Amazing cute little local spot. Clam chowder was amazing as well as the French baguette it brought. The pizza was also very good. I mostly liked the charcuterie platter. Me and my husband went for a romantic date and this definitely was a great spot. The candles and lighting set the mood. -

Favorite spot in Sunnyside! Claret is such a wonderful gem, and my husband and I have been regulars for years. A great variety of excellent drinks, beautiful space with a view of the trees in Sunnyside Gardens, and run by the best people. Jaci and Kevin are so kind and always make us feel like family. Every time we’re there we either see friends from the neighborhood walking by or they’re also going to Claret. Just such a charming spot with a personal neighborhood feel. It’s pretty perfect and always our go-to. -

There has never been a place that has made me and my husband feel like family from day 1. Jaci and Kevin are absolutely incredible and we always enjoy stopping by. The drinks, food, live music, we are always assured a good time!! If you’re ever in Sunnyside, do yourself a favor and stop by Claret Wine Bar, you won’t be disappointed! ;) -

First, this place has a great vibe. The holiday decor was festive. Waitress was quick to seat us and was very attentive. We ordered a cheese platter and some drinks. Drinks were perfect and platter was fresh. After, we ordered a dessert, which was a small molten lava chocolate cake. -
Review 24 (2023-06-27 - Rating: 5)
My fiance and I absolutely love Claret, which is why after he proposed to me and surprised the heck out of me with all our friends and family - it was of course at Claret.Jaci & Kevin went absolutely above and beyond. The place was decorated beautiful, I assumed by my friends and family, to learn it was all done by Jaci! She printed and hung photos of us, got my favorite flowers, absolutely delicious local cupcakes, Jaci even brought her own polaroid camera.And the service all night was out of this world. Jaci & Kevin always provided great service, but they were on fire that night! They truly treat you like youre a dear friend, and make sure your night or event is one of a kind.Host your next event at Claret!!! -

The food was delicious, and they served the softest brie as part of the platter, so good. Did feel a little short staffed. I only saw one waiter for the restaurant on a friday night, but he was hustling and everything was timely and clean. -

Great charcuterie, great selection of wines and cocktails. Dont ruin your evening by ordering 4 pizzas though, theyre good but this isnt a pizza place, theyre on the menu for the awkward person in the group who cant eat cured meat and cheese without it being on a flat bread. -
Review 27 (2022-12-09 - Rating: 5)
Located in Sunnyside Gardens, on the corner of Skillman Ave and 46th St in QueensVery friendly atmosphere somewhere between homey and sophisticated.Eclectic live music interspersed with Spanish flamenco sometimes played live by two very good musical brothers.The fantastic owners, Neil and Justin and two British sisters, related to the owners and the singers, mingle with patrons often (they know almost everybody) and the staff is happy to interact with us or leave us alone, according to how they read the patrons.(Jackie, the wait person and Kevin, the bartender are also two very efficient and convivial workers)Great place to have serious tapas-dinner (Felix and his aid in the tiny kitchen conjure miracles of good and diverse food), and equally good to enjoy good wine or good beer…or any cocktails.My WIFE and I LOVE this place and we have been coming for several years now, bringing friends and/or relatives) as soon as we set foot in NYC -

Updated to add - we just had dinner at the bar. Never tried the desserts so it wasn’t in my last review. Crème brûlée is incredible. Wow!This is such a fantastic place. The owners and staff are so warm and welcoming (and hilarious) and we always find ourselves laughing and feeling relaxed. And the food is amazing!It is also our dogs’ favorite establishment. The outdoor seating is a great spot for them to hang out under our table with a bowl of water, checking out the dogs who pass by or vibing with dogs at neighboring tables.I can’t say enough about how much we love this spot. -

Jaclyn and Kevin (owners) and staff clearly know their customers - whether they do already or not! Perfect place for a low key yet classy sipping and dining (with live music on Fridays to pull it all together!) We love this place!! -

Claret Wine Bar is the preeminent date spot in Queens, NY... easily, hands down. Located in the idyllic area of Sunnyside, Queens, Claret Wine Bar delivers an iconic dating experience where everything is meticulously thought of and seamlessly executed in making an unforgettable and most importantly FUN evening out that truly exceeds expectations.I have lived in the Sunnyside area happily for 5 years now and Claret has always been my goto date spot for sure but I would be remiss if I just called it that. Claret Wine Bar is so much more, where the neighborhood happily congregates and enjoys drinking, laughing, eating, and listening to great music together. Its a one of a kind spot where the owners and staff make you feel like family. Every single night they emulate the best holiday party you have ever been to.Once the weekend comes you will surely see a lively, thriving scene. They have live music weekly that is not genre specific and includes acoustic, jazz, rock, and even sometimes flamenco dancing!!If you are ever in Sunnyside, Woodside or in the Continental United States know that Claret Wine Bar is always an easy pick for a good time with your significant other, friends or family. They are a go to destination and I am so happy the wonderful people running it are apart of my amazing little neighborhood. Thank You! -

Went there last week on a whim. The bar next door closed their kitchen early on a Friday night in NYC (go figure). So I decided to eat here, I couldnt say no. Had the Mussels and it was good. The waiter Kevin was very cool, so was the bartender and hostess (sorry your names escape me) it was cool to see a live jazz fusion style band playing. Nice addition to the atmosphere of of Sunnyside. -

I once asked for coffee and they said they didnt have. I asked for tea. They said they didnt have. How do you not have tea... Boil some water add some lemon. They also stop food service around 11pm 12am.... Saturday. I do like this place though. Great wines and the pizzas are great. Friendly staff and its a cozy spot. Just dont go there expecting coffee. -

This place is awesome, it has the vibe of a real modern french/spanish café. Great beer and cocktail selection and remarkable food, you notice the love behind the menu at the first bit. The Catalan Pizza is my favorite. -
Review 38 (2023-07-09 - Rating: 5)
Great place! Me and my husband ordered the cheese and charcuterie board with 3 items (we chose 2 cheeses and one meat). All the boards come with bread, jam, grapes and mustard. Everything was very very good specially the drunken goat cheese and the fig jam. After that I tried a very generous slice of the fudge cake, which was perfectly balanced for me, not too sweet. We also ordered the cocktail strawberry lemonade, which was very light on the alcohol and it was what I wanted for this night, and the alewife Sunnyside beer, which my husband enjoyed very much. The staff was very welcoming and efficient. The place is clean, spacious and has tables indoors and outdoors. We will definitely be coming back for more! -

Personable bartender, CLEAN!, great selection of wines by the glass without beating you over the head on the price. Insane Bourbon and Scotch selection and a very ambitious menu of small plates. Cozy little neighborhood spot in Sunnyside. -
Review 41 (2010-11-17 - Rating: 4)
Nice bar, great atmosphere. Especially like the live music days. HOWEVER, unfortunately the wine selection sucks. Selling a glass of wine for $12 from a bottle that costs $6.99 in the store down the block is overpriced. Take a look at other wine bars (e.g. Domaine in LIC) and you will see that the quality of wine there is much(!) better. Id love to see this improve. -

Had a lovely evening with lots of laughs. Very attentive nice waiter who even laughed with us. We could decided so in my usually fashion I ordered all the things. Truffle flatbread, a large charcuterie board, and creme brûlée I think there was more but can’t remember because of all the Prosecco. -

[I also posted this review on Yelp.] Superb! Friendly and professional staff (everyone: kitchen staff, servers, bartenders, owners); yummy, varied food; great spirits selection; best wine list in the neighborhood; rota of musicians on Friday nights. Its become a real neighborhood meeting spot. Not that newbies should be discouraged (not at all, its EXTREMELY friendly). Ive met several people whove been a little intimidated to go there because its called a wine bar. Id encourage you to ignore that. Its a restaurant/bar that has a bigger wine list than most bars - but not some snooty place where wine is all youre expected to drink (and have a knowledge of), nor is it more expensive. It has a superb corner location with large picture windows on two sides, terrific sunlight; people-watching; romantic at night; lovely to watch the snow or rain. A special spot. -

This is a good place for tapas, pizza, cheese platters, and drinks. If you are looking for something else, this isnt the place for you. It can get pretty crowded here. They have a small outdoor space at the front and their front wall mostly opens up so theres a lot of natural light during the day. The reason I deducted a star is that I think its overpriced. However, that is the case with most restaurants like it in the area. -

Even beyond the happy hour prices, this place is supremely affordable. Ommegang Rare Vos (not so rare anymore, really) was on tap, and was $6. For an actual pint (most of the time, though they will occasionally shaft you with a chalice (what it should be drank out of, but wouldnt you rather have several more ounces of beer than sip in smug satisfaction from a glass which impacts the beer in an all but imperceptible fashion to most? I thought so.)). Color me impressed. On most nights, its a low-key, unpretentious sort of environment, but on some nights, it manages to get quite loud. As Sunnyside continues to grow in popularity with the younger set, those quiet nights will grow rarer. -

Friendly, considerate service. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because the food was really slow to come out. -
