This place is such a vibe! The wine selection is on point—tons of options, and the staff actually know their stuff. They helped us pick the perfect wine to go with the cheese board, which was insane. Like, everything tasted so fresh and fancy without trying too hard.The atmosphere is super chill but still feels kinda classy. Perfect spot to hang out with friends or for a low-key date night. Definitely coming back for more!

If in Soho neighborhood, dont pass by this little jam.. Great atmosphere, delicious brunch food, and to die for coffee! They do serve a small selection of wine and mix drinks after 11 am!

Great little wine bar and cafe to stop into to rest my feet, grab a glass and a bite, and hear some live jazz!! enjoyed my tinned mussels in brine and spinach artichoke dip. staff and customers were conscientious and trying to make space for everyone who wanted to stop in, overall very cozy and warm atmosphere!

My wife and I loved this place! Stopped in on a trip to NYC and had a great chill evening sitting outside. The owner was super nice and wine knowledgeable and we had a nice chat. Support this small woman owned business!

This quintessential romantic Soho wine bar. Not too quiet, not too crowded, very warm, intimate, and inviting, but also very casual.

Had such a great experience at Cork! Came alone on a Saturday night, and bartenders Dmitri and Anton ended up talking with me for over an hour. Truly so kind of them, and they went the extra mile to make an out-of-town we from Seattle feel welcomed. Great atmosphere and wine too! Will definitely be back and will recommend to friends.

Great little wine bar in the heart of SoHo. The ambiance and atmosphere are great for anything from a date night to a girls night. Wonderful wine selection along with some really good options for food. They offer a great happy hour deal through the week as well as having live jazz on Sundays. Definitely worth a visit!

Great little wine bar.Stopped here for a few glasses and was pleased to see the experience matched the reviews

Review 11 (2024-04-24 - Rating: 5)
This place even though small had a real nice lively vibe to it. Was there early enough so got a seat by the windows. Probably gets packed really easily later in the day. Wine selection is not cheap! They could have done a better pour. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it here, good music and cozy!

Loved this place. The atmosphere is very chill. Thee moment I went in I Loved the smell of wood, perfect for a great wine. I taste the France wine, the sun dried tomatoes brocheta, petit cheese and olives 🫒 The freshers olives ever! Nice place to stop for a quick chat with some friend, a first date, or appetizer before heading to dinner.

This wine bar is a hidden gem, located around the corner from the hustle and bustle of Spring St in Soho. The atmosphere is urbane and cozy, making it a welcoming escape. The wine selection is excellent, and they offer delightful Mediterranean cheese, charcuterie, pate boards, and small plates that perfectly complement the drinks. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.Sunday evenings are even more special with world-class jazz duos performing. Its hard not to fall in love with this place! To be honest, it has easily become our go-to and favorite hangout spot in the city.

With an impressive selection of both local and international wines, the knowledgeable staff is always ready to help you find the perfect pour. The inviting atmosphere, complemented by delicious small plates and a cozy ambiance, makes it an ideal place for a date night or a casual gathering with friends. Don’t miss their goat cheese crostini and artisan cheese boards! Overall, a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy great wine.

A very quite wine bar that was opened recently. It’s quite rare to find Malbec that doesn’t come from Mendoza and this place got Malbec from Salta (my favorite). Perfect selection of wines and cozy atmosphere

Nice spot, came here due to the reviews. Have been walking around with a date and time w enjoyed our time. On a Sunday night around 5:30, there was live music. Two young gentleman playing chelo and bass. Soothing atmosphere and a pleasant time.Honestly cant go wrong with this wine bar if youre just trying to simmer down and have a nice beautiful night. Enjoy.

Review 24 (2024-06-23 - Rating: 5)
Cork is the perfect wine bar to relax with a nice glass of wine while enjoying the cozy atmosphere that makes it one of the best wine bars in the city.The wine list encompasses France, Spain and Italy, with selections from South America and other parts of Europe like Austria and Georgia. The selection is carefully curated and expertly presented by the bartenders, who in addition to making Cork an approachable neighborhood bar, also imbue the place with a breezy sophistication that is hard to find in the right balance these days.The food menu is small, expertly crafted and executed to provide the perfect accompaniments to the wine selection. The food selection includes crostinis, hot sandwiches, burratas and what is in my opinion the best bread and butter basket in town. The bread is freshly baked and the butter is perfectly salted to provide the maximum satisfaction that such a simple pairing can provide. I love enjoying it with a glass of Chianti Classico.On Sundays they offer a rotating selection of jazz bands from 6pm-8pm, which changes every week.Taken together, all the elements that make Cork a wine bar are bigger than their individual parts, which is the reason this place became an instant classic.

Review 27 (2024-02-05 - Rating: 5)
This is my favorite neighborhood bar to go to with my boyfriend after dinner, if we are looking to keep the night going, but not to go too crazy. This place is perfect for dates. It’s not too loud, so you can actually hear each other, but it’s busy enough, so you don’t feel like it’s not happening there. Their wine selection is great, they have 5 types of orange wines alone! Highly recommended for date nights!

Great new wine bar! The owner and her staff are super friendly and offer great service. They have an excellent selection of wines that are reasonably priced.

Adorable wine bar with exceptional wine menu, exposed brick, and limited snacks. Love to pop by for a glass of wine after work or pre/post dinner. French music, dim lighting, perfect SoHo wine bar.

Review 36 (2024-09-04 - Rating: 5)
Stopped in looking for a place with a good vibe and a nice bar to have a drink and get out of the heat and ended up staying for a while and then going back after dinner for another glass of wine before calling it a night. Absolutely loved the wines. There were tons of options by the glass which is what we were looking for. We mostly stuck with red and white burgundys, but the options were varied and endless across price points and regions/varieties. There were also some cocktail specials that looked good but we didnt try them. Definitely our new favorite wine bar in NYC and favorite bar of any kind in Soho.The owner was also the manger/bartender/ sommelier and her recommendations were spot on based on what we told her we were interested in. We sat inside at the bar but there were also tables inside and outside. The owner is a gem and so is her wine bar. Cant wait to go back.

Review 64 (2024-01-28 - Rating: 4)
My friend and I decided to check out this wine bar during the holiday season! The ambiance of the place was absolutely stunning and they had a great selection of wines. When I asked the waiter if they had any Cabernet Sauvignon, in a snobbish and rude manner, informed me that they only served wines from abroad. Although I wanted to enlighten him about the fact that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually produced in many wine regions worldwide, I decided to hold back. It would have been much better if the waiter simply apologized for not having that particular wine and suggested an alternative. Despite this, the overall atmosphere of the bar was fantastic and I would definitely recommend it. However, it wouldnt hurt if the waitstaff were a bit more polite and friendly.

Excellent selection of red and white wines (by the glass, half-bottle or bottle) from western and eastern Europe, plus lesser known locales. Friendly staff, tasty noshes, and overall low-key and chill vibe. In Soho and near to great restaurants, you have to pay a visit and sit down for a bottle (or two)…

Review 72 (2023-06-19 - Rating: 5)
Wonderful wine bar in Soho. Badass saxophone and bass duet (and Im generally not a big jazz guy). Attentive, warm, alluring, and...mysterious...

Review 73 (2023-02-19 - Rating: 5)
Excellent vibe. Great music, and wide selection of wines by the glass. Slightly more done up and international crowd. Less of a spot for 20-somethings looking to get wasted on cheap wine!
