Went there for the 3 to 5 happy hour and enjoyed the $1 oysters! They have fantastic tapas as well and the croquettas were fantastic as were the oysters. Their cocktails are great -tried the Mexican Diaquiri which was great as an afternoon drink on a hot summer day. The music was great and the clientele were young, vibrant people. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The service was fabulous!

GREAT happy hour option. $1 oysters and a $20 carafe of wine. The place got filled up at the bar pretty quickly, but it has a back room with a long table and an outdoor area. Might be my next oyster spot! (And will still come back for tapas too)

Sitting out here on a Saturday afternoon felt like what I assume Paris or some other cultured European city must feel like but with the sights and sounds of the east village (i.e. loud hot and dirty i.e. great). We had the carafe of Chardonnay for $20 and it was perfectly serviceable. Anchovies, burrata and olives were all excellent, anchovies in particular. We also had 10 happy hour oysters and they were as good as one could possibly expect for $1. My partner had three and I had seven but I will eat a borderline oyster because I am fiend and these were definitely above borderline. We will be back and soon.

The food was fresh and delicious. The wine was great too. The service was excellent and the venue is clean and very nicely set up. I really liked the vibe. I also recommend everything on the menu. I hope to come back here soon because it was a great experience.

These is a great place to enjoy a conversation with the perfect music and lighting, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their wines.Darwin os a sweet hard and knows how to treat a customer.

We only got the charcuterie and cheeseboard, some sardines, and the orange wine. It was all good!

Review 7 (2023-03-07 - Rating: 4)
Amazing oysters for $1 each happy hour very plump and tasty. Their happy hour chardonnay also pairs really well with the oysters. Would be an easy 5 stars if the seats were more comfortable. They use metal barstools which its really uncomfortable to sit in for long periods.

Small wine bar with a great vibe they have a great wine selection and oysters from different regions

Review 9 (2018-04-26 - Rating: 5)
Awesome happy hour for sure; wide range of options from tapas menu and a huge wine list. Getting a seat is challenging and service is a little awkward (sometimes you order at the bar and then other times from server...but the actual people are very nice) but the food quality is great. Especially good for catching up with friends over a bite and drink but not full dinner. Great spot all around!

I had wanted to try some natural wines while we were in New York and this is the place we found. Very cozy and cool spot. The wines were fantastic and Im a convert to the styles I tried. The food looked fantastic and actually made us wish we were hungry. It would have been nice if the bartenders saved us from the overbearing local on my left at the bar - dude was obviously killing our vibe - but youll have that sometimes.

My new favorite oyster spot, also had the best shrimp nachos and good salmon tartare!! Happy hour for oyster is from opening(3pm on weekend and 5pm on weekdays) to 7pm :)

It is my favorite happy hour place in LES. They have $1 oyster deals which is amazing and yummy. The appetizers are small portions but make easy snacks. The service is quick and easy. I go atleast once in 2-3 weeks!

My favorite happy hour for so many years!! Never gets old. Service is great, vibe, food, wine is all fabulous 👌

Review 16 (2018-12-08 - Rating: 4)
Were there during natural wine week and it was packed. But it sounded like that was unusual. Think it would be more fun on a slower night so you could talk to the bartenders more about the wines. But the wine we had was great. And it’s a cute space.

Ten Bells!!The place we met. The most amazing wine bar with great food and the friendliest service. Celebrating our wedding day here was a no brainer! Thank you to everyone here for always making our visits special.

The Ten Bells is undeniably the best wine bar in the city, boasting an exceptional tapas menu, friendly staff, and an inviting atmosphere. A perfect blend of exquisite, organic wines and delightful small bites makes it a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking a memorable experience!

Great organic wines and a very knowledgeable staff. Very hip as well. Happy Hour cheap oysters. If you’re gonna drink drink buy a bottle, they have wine from all over the world, but curated. Great classic tapas.

Review 22 (2023-08-28 - Rating: 5)
Me and my wife were walking by with our dog and found this lovely wine bar. Two words , Happy hour! It’s great, and the backyard is quiet. The backyard has a classic NY vibe(think getting drunk on your fire escape on ground floor, with a better ambiance). Definitely check it out if you haven’t already, it’s worth it.

Review 23 (2023-09-04 - Rating: 5)
Very good vibe and staff. I really enjoy the variety of wines, and the tapas menu is really cool. Everything was super good, and the food was hot. Nothing out of proportion and the wines were really nice. The staff was friendly and nice. Really good spot to talk drink and have a nice time.

The happy hour is an event to not miss out on. The tapas and oysters are really good. You should come on the dot as soon as they open, because the sitting is limited and it gets really crowded. Expect the service to become slower when is starting to get filled.

Review 27 (2020-08-05 - Rating: 5)
Great drinks selection! The food is amazing too, oysters and Stray Dog gin is the best!

Review 28 (2024-09-16 - Rating: 5)
Really liked this bar. Its on a busy street that makes it fun to visit. And it being a wine bar was great - felt a little more upscale and mature. They had our group move from a dedicated table to the bar, and we actually appreciated the change as we got to be closer to the street. They also gave us lots of samples before we picked our glasses, which was much appreciated. Only negative - not a big fan of natural wines.

Review 29 (2023-08-10 - Rating: 4)
Great food and wine selection, lovely atmosphere for a date night or a group gathering. The only thing - it gets pretty crowded around the bar area, so make sure to grab your table in advance. Also, it felt very hot and humid inside, I wish they had AC given how hot it is during NYC summers.

Review 30 (2023-08-11 - Rating: 4)
Great spot to have oysters. I dont know what kind of sauce they are using for them but its really good. Its dark and cozy rate for a date night but I went there with my. It was happy hour and a little crowded but not overly so. No huge criticism there. It was a little odd though. How do I explain . . .? Have you ever been someplace where someones not quite sure what to do with you. I dont know imagine going to a Supercuts and asking for extensions. It was like that but we werent asking for anything that wasnt on the menu. It was just an awkward kind of feeling. Not sure Id visit again

I didnt try any of the tapas, but the wine I tried was good. The ambiance is dark and lively. Its a great place to grab either pre- or post-dinner drinks and snacks. They have a great Happy Hour menu. The servers were pretty attentive for the amount of people that were seated. Im looking forward to going back during Happy Hour.

Review 34 (2023-02-26 - Rating: 4)
Oysters were great for the price. Found some to be a bit too salty honestly but overall nice experience especially for their happy hour deal! The tartare was just okay, honestly would come back just for the happy hour oysters next time :)

Review 35 (2024-05-04 - Rating: 5)
Good fresh oystersFantastic charcuterie boardWhite wine paired great with everything(All on happy hour menu)Dimly lit, music, good vibes, intimate but loud, lot of people

Review 36 (2022-09-22 - Rating: 4)
Beautiful place ! They have an outdoor seating all the way at the back. A huge dining room style table for shared seating and bar seating in the front. They have good choice of small plates and portions are literally small. I wish they had A/C in the seating area. It got humid and hot and we moved our tables to outdoor. Our server suggested a bottle for our table to pair with the food we ordered. Overall a decent experience.

Review 37 (2020-11-29 - Rating: 5)
We had an amazing time at Ten bells. They offer daily a 1$oyster happy hour, and the oysters are so delicious.Besides we ordered several small dishes, they have a great sea food variation.The service was great, they always ensured we have enough food and wine!

Stopped for a happy hour wine after the tenement museum. Great rise and had 2 glasses of wine each for $20. Atmosphere was great would go back for the food

Review 41 (2019-08-29 - Rating: 5)
Ten Bells has always been a consistently great spot in the neighborhood and a place I come back to time and time again. Really romantic and cozy, I especially love it in winter time, but its great year round. The wine list is extensive and the staff is knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

Review 42 (2016-11-05 - Rating: 4)
First time coming to ten bells and it was fun. I love the place and the food was delicious. it was happy hour for the oysters and also had the salmon tartar. its small and intimate place, so get there early. had seats at the bar so it was convenient. would definitely go again.

Review 43 (2018-03-05 - Rating: 5)
It gets pretty busy during happy hour so make sure to grab a seat early! The oysters taste fresh but theres no cocktail sauce nor horseradish. Besides that,the happy hour Cote du Rhone isnt bad and the steak tartar is to die for!

Review 44 (2024-08-31 - Rating: 5)
This is a great spot for a lower cost meal and drinks. Their happy hour features $1.50 oysters and a carafe of wine for $15-20 (I forget exactly how much. Buzzy, intimate atmosphere, good food all around.

Review 45 (2016-05-09 - Rating: 4)
Charming place, atmospheric, and excellent food. We went here on a Sunday afternoon on Mothers Day. The wait staff are friendly and helpful, attentive and suave in a good way. The happy hour was fabulous: excellent, very fresh oysters featuring 3 kinds of east coast, perfectly chilled, not over washed (i.e. you can taste the seawater that they came from inside the shell, lending excellent freshness and flavor). We ordered an excellent bottle of white which perfectly complemented the oysters. Our first round for four people: 3 dozen oysters, a cheese and a cured meat selection (all exquisite and of very high quality. Especially the meats which included a wild boar salami and a jamon- they were very authentic, fresh and extremely flavorful and delicious).After that we had to order two dozen more oysters. The oysters, it must be noted are very small- the smallest I have ever had in the shell, but of a very high quality and extremely flavorful. But you might be hungry still after eating two dozen!The only negative: We tried the carafe of happy hour house rose, part of their happy hour special but found it watery and acidic.We spent about $50.00 per person, tip included. I would recommend this to friends and I look forward to going back!

Review 46 (2016-03-28 - Rating: 5)
$1 oysters for happy hour?!? Thats the best thing Ive ever heard. I tried this yesterday and it was incredibly fresh with the best garlic-oil mix Ive tasted. Forget the cocktail sauce, use their garlic-oil mix with a light squeeze of lemon and the flavor is all kept intact.You should also keep in mind that its also a wine bar, so youll find a lot of kickass wines to pair with any of the meals on their menu.Its not the biggest place, so youll probably be standing and drinking a beer while having some oysters, but it works pretty well with the theme of the restaurant. Its just so cool and casual. The menu is written on huge chalk boards in either side and the lighting makes it a combination of romantic and lively. I highly recommend this place for a pre-dinner or post-dinner hang out place.

Really good atmosphere and kind service. Will definitely be back

Review 48 (2017-03-16 - Rating: 4)
This place has a really cool, casual ambiance -- feels very NYC. A little dark inside, but makes the place feel more intimate. Wasnt crowded at all when we got there around 5:45-6pm on a Wednesday.They have $5 happy hour wines by the glass or $15 for a carafe. They also have $1 oysters. Their sweet burrata dish with honey and figs is delicious! Its on the dessert menu, but I didnt really find it that sweet at all -- totally doable as an appetizer. Papas bravas were decent too -- too much creamy sauce IMHO, but they were crispy and super hot at least.Service, you kinda need to flag them down for whatever you need once the place gets filled, but theyre very attentive to even subtle gestures and eye contact whenever you need something. Food came out SUPER fast. Id definitely come back!

I went here for happy hour and really enjoyed their $1 oysters and chardonnay. Also, the vibe was pretty nice for meeting friends after work, though I was reading a book.

This place is great. Ive only been for drinks, so cannot attest to the food quality yet but I love the vibe and they have an excellent natural wine list - probably the best Ive seen in the city yet. If you are into interesting wine - this place is a must

Review 51 (2021-09-23 - Rating: 5)
Been coming to Ten Bells for years and after the last year and a half of the pandemic I was finally able to visit them again. The same atmosphere, food and incredible natural wine selection. Felt that it was time to let people know that this place never disappoints. Thank you for all the memories and papas bravas

Review 52 (2023-06-24 - Rating: 4)
Great happy hour. The venue isnt grand or anything, but it is cozy and the staff are very nice. The website is a bit outdated. It is $20 for a carafe. They also had $1 oysters for HH and great tapas.

Review 53 (2019-02-28 - Rating: 5)
This is a wine bar done right. The mark up is unbelievably low considering that they have bottles you truly cannot get anywhere else from producers that are hard to track down in the first place. They have what’s popular in natural wine but without being flashy or trendy, and in general have an air of unpretentiousness - the servers were knowledgeable and candid, generous in both their tastes and pours, and really made it about the customer not about selling.

Review 54 (2023-01-09 - Rating: 5)
Dollar oysters and $20 carafes of good French wine. Best happy hour imaginable. The ambiance is cozy, the staff is attentive but also laid back, you’ll feel welcomed and at home here. Try the papas bravas and the squid in ink. The croquetas are some of the best you’ll ever eat. In fact, all of the tapas-style food here is tasty and well-priced. And of course a glorious wine list!

Review 55 (2017-08-28 - Rating: 4)
Great little place to hit up for Happy Hour and tapas. Located in the trendy LES we were quite happy to stumble upon this little place. It does get quite busy, but grabbing a spot at the bar seems to be the best bet. Service is a bit so-so, with us ending up helping ourselves to cutlery and so forth as required. The food was good we had tapas of; olives, burrata, Spanish tortilla, oysters and steak tartare... and french wine of course. For oyster lovers, they are a $1 a shuck during happy hour.

Review 56 (2021-06-21 - Rating: 5)
Nice low key wine bar that wont break the bank. Good date spot or friend spot for two girls that are going through the motions and not really besties yet, if ever. Food was okay. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

Review 57 (2016-05-09 - Rating: 4)
Casually hip with a great assortment of dollar happy hour oysters, not just your usual Malpeques and Blue Points. Happy hour wine best avoided if our sampling of the Rosé on offer is any indication. But otherwise a great wine list, weighted toward a lot of the latest up and coming terroir wines.

Review 58 (2019-08-13 - Rating: 5)
$5 wine and $1 oysters during happy hour. They also offer an extensive list of wine. The environment is dark and lively; a great bar to come and grab a quick drink and some tapas in the LES.

Delicious wine, tasty oysters and other small plates. A lovely Friday night vibe. Did take a while to get seated, and staff werent that friendly at first (understandable as super busy)

$1 Oyster was great deal.I loved their steak tartar (I like the one with horseradish) as well.

Review 61 (2023-03-25 - Rating: 5)
One of my fav places in this area for drinks. Sometimes chaotic but always festive and fun at the indoor bar area for their happy hours. Front outdoor area is more relaxing. The food can be hit or miss. The Galas (eel but looks like thin sliced tender white fish) were very good.

Review 62 (2019-12-22 - Rating: 4)
Great natural wine bar with an extensive selection. The front of the bar is walk in, but you can make a reservation in advance which will get you a table in the back; it doesn’t have the same lively feel as the front, but if you’ve got a group coming, it’s nice to have the space and it isn’t too loud.

Review 63 (2021-02-02 - Rating: 5)
Theres a reason why you will see Ten Bells filled with patrons on any given day/evening. Its a really great spot for snacks & drinks, run by folks who are genuinely hospitable humans. Its that simple. Great natural wine selection, if thats yer bag.

Cozy tapas style wine bar with an awesome happy hour: $1 oysters and $18 carafes of wine. It’s competitive to get seats if you don’t arrive right at the beginning but there are spots to hang out and have a drink in the meantime.

There were some decent, but not great deals on the happy hour menu for both drinks and some food (though Im a beer drinker and there werent many choices there).The bartenders were both personable and attentive so we never had to wait long for the next round of drinks.

Fun wine bar. Very loud and it’s quite hard to get the server. Pretty tasty food!

Cute, cozy, romantic, and a lot of other great adjectives apply, but wine and oysters are the important nouns here.

The outdoor space is very nice! I recommend if you have a group of people to try and book the space near there as well as the outdoor space!

Great wine (nice selection of natural wines) and tasty tapas but the bartender was rude and when we didn’t leave 15% tips (which he considered the minimum) he chased us to demand a higher amount

Our go to spot for $1 oysters and free flowing rosé! Chris is also the GOAT! Can’t wait to come back!

Review 119 (2023-12-07 - Rating: 5)
Dark, cozy, unpretentious wine bar with an outstanding drinks list, including natural wines. Food looked good but we didnt have anything to review. Server was knowledgeable and fast without being pushy. Great experience for a drop-in, love to go back on a busy night some time.

The perfect anytime spot. Date? Afterwork? Late Night? After Dinner? All great. You cant go wrong here!

Nice wine bar. Went here before a show at Bowery ballroom for a bottle of wine and small plates

Review 122 (2021-07-08 - Rating: 5)
So many choices of wine, great happy hour, and absolutely delicious food

Review 123 (2020-06-27 - Rating: 5)
Great selection to lurk through. It gets pretty packed here so social distancing can be scarce. We went to the back, that was empty. It was great, orange wine is to die for.

It’s definitely a dive but the food and drinks are great. They need more Spanish wines by the glass though! Where’s my Albariño?

Review 125 (2023-11-25 - Rating: 5)
We came in looking for a glass of mulled wine. Even though, they didn’t have any, they had delicious $1 oysters and $20 carafes of red wine. Absolutely delightful experience with great staff and an awesome atmosphere. Definitely a place for a joyful stumble.

Review 126 (2019-05-25 - Rating: 5)
$1 oysters and $15 carafes of wine in a great Lower East Side location.

Our favorite wine bar in Manhattan, great vibes especially after work on a weekday

Dollar oysters on the weekend? Sign me up. Ill be here pretty much every Saturday from now on.

Love Ten Bells so much Im really tempted to give it a horrible review so more people dont discover how wonderful it is.

Small plates may fill you up faster than youd expect! Service is up and down. May be a bit small, dark, and communal for some.

Came here for a glass of wine and oysters while waiting for a table at Zest. It was pretty cozy in there.

Great night of friends, family and wine!

Review 138 (2023-11-01 - Rating: 4)
An actual wine bar. They have a great happy hour and will give you multiple so you won’t have to make multiple trips. It is a bit small inside so can get stuffy. Did not feel like ordering food here but maybe catch it on a calmer night.

Very enjoyable and I would show up again

Really like their hoffen back patio. Nice wine and tapas.

A nice place for wine and cocktails - the bartenders are very good at what they do.

Review 142 (2023-06-01 - Rating: 4)
Tapas was awesome!! Definitely try their croquettes. Happy hour oysters are on the smaller side, you can probably find better oyster places. That said, definitely a neighborhood tapas bar that I will frequent for non-oyster purposes.

Great ambiance and cozy atmosphere. I moved here 4 years ago and didnt even realize this place existed. Great find!

Review 154 (2023-06-04 - Rating: 4)
Lively atmosphere,Eclectic Wine list mostly focus on natural wines.Overall a minimum service is provided, and the wine is slightly overpriced, but that seems to be the case everywhere in NYC…

Cant judge the food. But its a nice neighbourhood bar, with prices OK for New York, especially during happy hour.

The $1 oysters are super small but that’s what you pay for. Service is great, tapas are nice, $20 wine carafe was perfect.

Went too hard here the other night at the family table in the back. Small plates were all tasty and we probably got 30 + carafes of wine. Don’t be afraid to send it when you pull up
