I'm surprised that I hadn't written a review for this place yet. This has always been a solid go-to spot for hangouts in the neighborhood. It's an all-purpose place - good for groups or as couples. The vibes are amazing, especially when the weather is nice and can sit outside - but it's also a nice hideaway indoors in inclement weather. On cold days, they have a cozy fireplace inside and a fire pit outside. I've had nothing but the friendliest of service here - great selection of wines, and the food/snacks are actually a bit underrated in my opinion. I've had many memorable moments at Black Mountain - days that have started here, and nights that have ended here. I've since moved away from the neighborhood, but Black Hole will always have a special place in my heart. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy is the word most used when describing Black Mountain Wine House and it describes it perfectly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do not accept reservations, but we were fortunate to get seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small , and on a cold evening the warmth of the fireplace was welcomed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As expected they have an extensive wine menu, along with some beers and even a cider, which is what I opted for. They have a variety of small plates, and our server offered suggestions for how many we should order, he suggested 3 items and we went with 4. We has the salted cod and artichoke . This would not be something I would normally order, but according to yelp reviews it was supposed to be excellent and it was. The cod was not too salty, but blended well with artichoke and was perfect with warm bread. We also ordered brie and apple crostini from their specials. The apples were crisp ands sweet to compliment the brie. Even though yelp reviews were mixed we also had the goat cheese tart . I liked the beets and potato crust. Lastly we had the house panini, which we did not finish, even though it was very good, it was filling with mortadella, polish bacon and apricot aioli. Service was excellent, and did not rush even though there were several parties waiting when we left. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We felt as if we were in a welcoming cabin.... in the middle of Brooklyn.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place, small and loud but weirdly romantic at the same time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was priced the same as the quality. Wasn't bad at all but wasn't the best either. Drinks a little overpriced. The one dessert item on their menu was really good. Service is eh, really slow and not attentive. I asked for a dessert menu and instead just got the 1 dessert they had served to the table without telling me what it was, just gave it to me. read more

I wanted to love this place, the setting and the reviews seemed so promising. We came to celebrate my son as a new playwright but unfortunately whomever was running the show of seating that night was a complete jerk, highly obnoxious to us for trying to gather on the patio. He made us leave - supposedly bc we were a group of 10 and he caps groups he will serve at 6. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were all completely sober (had been at a play) and felt so joyous and were excited to talk about the beautiful art that had just come to life when this man's incredible and abrupt angry tantrum changed the mood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He not only lost our business for last evening, he lost the business of 10 good humans forever. read more

This place is so cute and cozy, wish I checked it out sooner. They have a fireplace that is so warm and nice with a red glass of wine. They specialize in wines but have beer and small bites as well. Ordered the Mac and cheese and charcuterie, both were delicious. They do get packed though, went at 4pm thinking it would be empty since they just opened but it was crowded. Great date spot or place to enjoy a glass of wine alone with a good book. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]amazing vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] great choices of wine and cocktails. the bites are usually delicious but skip the goat cheese tart (not sure exactly how it's listed on the menu ) . it's like a soggy salad on top of a wet diaper. meatballs are amazing. as well as the roasted tomatoes. read more

Overall rating: 4.4 I came here in mid September after getting served a TikTok about how cozy & good the the mulled wine is from an influencer I follow. When I went, it was clearly still warm but it was a lot smaller and less cozy than I was expecting. Fortunately with just a walk-in, my friend and I got the last seat. We ended up sharing a panini which was a great portion, but when asked about the mulled wine or timing - the waitress couldn't say. She couldn't even give me a month. Inside, it felt more crowded and claustrophobia over warm and cozy. If you're the owner reading this, could you tell me when you start so I can try again? I think this is more of a neighborhood local bar than anything. I'm not sure if I'd be willing to travel here if I didn't have a hook. read more

Black Mountain Wine House in Boerum Hill is a cozy, fireplace-accented neighborhood wine bar. We went for dinner and had a bottle of a recommended Slovenian white white alongside creamy mac and cheese, charcuterie plate, goat cheese tart, salt cod and artichoke dip, B.L.A.T, meatballs, roasted tomatoes and their warm, chocolate bread pudding. We love this spot for their stellar small plates and well-curated wine list. This is definitely an ideal place for a romantic date read more

A hidden gem! It's tucked away on a quiet corner, away from the hustle and bustle. The first time I walked by I had no idea it was a wine bar -- I thought it was someone's front yard. It quickly became a favorite of mine. I love going during the day on weekends, ordering an adult lemonade (proseco+lemonade), sitting outside and enjoying a leisurely afternoon. If you go in the colder months, you can enjoy their cozy interior with a fireplace to boot. For food, I usually go for the Tuna Niçoise Salad, in which they use "really expensive canned tuna", ha. It's very good, albeit sometimes a tad too salty. The BLAT sandwich is also yummy. If you're in the mood for sweet, try the Chocolate Bread Pudding. And of course, the wines are delicious! I need to start writing down the types of wine I drink, but suffice it to say there's something for everyone. read more

was told by the host it would be an hour wait, came back 35 mins later apparently he already called our name... fine.. put us on the bottom of the list, told us it would be 40 mins - ended up being over an hr waiting in freezing temps. whatever! [[HIGHLIGHT]]finally got inside and ac was blasting, overheard other patrons complaining about it as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] food was unspectacular and service was unfriendly.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not a fabulous uber-refined culinary experience but on the other hand I've never had a bad meal there either. It's a short menu, fitting for a "Wine House". The mac and cheese is great. When they are in season, the roasted tomatoes are delicious and the salade Niçoise is solid. read more

Get the salt cod!!! It was absolutely delicious and super worth going back for over and over. This place has great outdoor seating with comfy patio chairs that recline nicely - a good place to sit and talk and have a drink/snacks. My friend and I shared the salt cod which was sooo good. We also got the goat cheese tart - that was ok but not that memorable, I'd get something else next time (and I say this as a lover of goat cheese but it was really just ok). Service was friendly. I'll definitely be back to get the salt cod again and try something new! read more

Love this place so much! I used to go all the time before the pandemic when I lived in Brooklyn, and recently went again and remembered why I used to love it. The ambiance is so cozy, there's a fireplace inside and it's dark with lots of candles. It's also one of the few places you can walk in to before or after dinner on a Friday night. They have a small outdoor patio in the front with a handful of seats and a bonfire. The service is attentive and you can stay for as little or as long as you want. I've tried a handful of their small plates before too and everything was great! You may be able to make a dinner out of it if you order a few things too! read more

I've been here several times and it's one of my favorite wine bars in NYC. It's a small bar but it has a lot of character. The bar is located on a predominantly residential block, with an exterior facade that looks more like a log cabin than a wine bar. They have some outdoor seating and they tend to light fire pits during the colder months. The wine list is pretty extensive for a casual wine bar, with options from all around the world ranging from white, to red, to orange, and more. They also offer small plates if you don't want to drink on an empty stomach. The staff is also very knowledgeable about the wines. I had some questions the last time I was there, and the waiter was patient with me and helped me select something he thought I'd like. This is the type of place you can easily spend hours at without realizing. It's a must-try! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy garden[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], friendly service, nice selection of wines by the glass and innovative nibbles to enjoy alongside

Vibrant and super cute ambience. It looks like a hole in the wall but has a lot to offer. To start with the vibe is great, wine collection Is decent and the appetizers (at least the ones we tried) are bomb. Highly recommend you try Tete de moine cheese and roasted tomatoes with Parmesan with bread. Carby yet healthy and delicious bar food that complements the good selection of wines. Do visit if you are hanging around in the neighborhood. read more

This place is so unassuming you could easily miss it but it's so cute. I'm so lucky to call this my neighborhood wine bar. Loves: + Cozy atmosphere. It's a little log cabin that decided to grace Gowanus. + So many delicious wines to choose from ranging from $9-15 + Good food pairings to go with the wine (eg. charcuterie $16, pork meatballs $14, and our fave the chocolate bread pudding $9) + Shoutout to the best server, Ryan! :) The space can get very busy and reservations are not accepted, but the wait is worth it. I am already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Wow what an amazing spot for date night or a casual night of wine. The outdoor seating is amazing especially if the weather is nice. My husband and I loved seating on the wooden chairs with the foot rest. It was such a great vibe drinking wine while relaxing. The selection of wine here is great. I ordered the Cappelletti Royale (Cappalleti, Prosecco, Lemon Twist over) and it was fantastic. Can't wait to come back again to try more on their wine list. read more

"I really need to stop in there sometime." -me every time I biked or drove by in the past decade Finally did! First of all, super glad they survived... well, everything. Came by a bit early on a Friday, which was a good choice because the outdoor seating filled up fast. Sat in a little parklette on Hoyt. Great wine menu (duh), including skin contact oranges. Also had some light bites, including some charcuterie - a salume board, cheese, and some olives. Quite delightful. And of course, if there's one place to describe the inside of this place, it's "cozy". Walls lined with bottles. Fireplace in the corner. Some real mood lighting. I'll definitely be back! read more

Overall: Would definitely come back to try more food. It's so home-y! Ambiance: Cozy with a real fireplace and casual outdoor front area (enclosed). Feels very much like a lodge. Loved the random books inside. Limited seating though. Service: Attentive without being bothersome. Staff seemed chill. Food: Cheese was good, especially the tête de moine swiss. Charcuterie was average - nothing unique. Drinks: Lots of solid wine options. Enjoyed the Cannonau red wine. read more

This is such an ideal date spot. Or in my case, it's such an ideal third-wheel spot. I've passed this place numerous times walking over from Gowanus to Park Slope. Its eye grabbing. Its a little log cabin house that looks like it belongs in the mountains or an abandoned forest and has been converted into a wine and cheese night cafe. They even have a cute porch with chairs out front. Wine was pretty affordable. For not being happy hour I could still get an over flowing chalice of Tempranillo for $8. Interesting food menu of cheese and charcuterie platters, mac and cheese with truffle oil, paninis, meatballs, crostini, and tarts. What you would expect at a wine bar. But the ambiance is really nice. I imagine this is great in the winter time and I think they even roar up a fireplace then. Oh, they surprisingly also have a decent bottled beer menu. Any place that sells Samuel Smith oatmeal is doing something pretty right. I also played that game while I was half listening to my couple friends called 'How many of these people are on blind dates and how many of these people are in actual relationships' game. It's a good one. I'm pretty sure the table next to us with the two kids downing red wine, staring awkwardly at their menus and avoiding eye contact, separated as far apart as possible were blind date. read more

Favorite wine bar in New York. Orange wine! Fireplace. Good cheeses. Great crostini. Good date spot.

Great spot in Brooklyn/Gowanus district. Well priced wines by glass and bottle. I love that all are available by both glass and bottle. We got a spot near the fireplace and sat there from 1-5. The crostini was outstanding, 3 large pieces with warm goat cheese in center capped with a Parmesan crisp. Kudos to chef Francisco. Teryn and Hanna took amazing care of us, and I was amazed at 5pm it was fully packed, but service was never slow. They did their best to accommodate everyone even when there was a line forming. Definitely a destination for anyone reading this. read more

Black Mountain Wine House - Crostini. That's warm goat cheese in the middle with a Parmesan crisp on top. - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Located in a mostly residential stretch of Brooklyn, Black Mountain Wine House is located on Hoyt street and Union, away from everything else. I had passed it many of times, always wondering what it was like inside. Finally one day before I was meeting some friends for dinner nearby, I decided to stop in and check it out before dinner. It's a cute place. Rustic feels for sure. The serve, beer, wine, and non hard liquor cocktails. Their selection of everything is pretty extensive. The prices, aren't awful, but not the greatest. Didn't seem to offer a happy hour and got there when they opened. My one quarrel would be the service. Place wasn't packed at all and two people were working. I have patience for staff, I really do, but this was excessive. I would have happily gotten another round, but eventually I just got the check. Hopefully it was a one time thing. If walking down the residential area of Hoyt street again, I'll be sure to stop in and give it another go. read more

Stumbled in looking for a chill spot to have a glass of wine and some nibbles. I really appreciate their wine selection and the woman's knowledge of wine based on my started taste profile. And love that that they have a fireplace, pretty romantic and cozy. The charcuterie offerings for cheese were amazing, I wish that they offered other options for the meats but that's just me not really being big on pork. The ambiance, the wine, the food... really lovely. read more

Amazing place, loved the ambiance very cozy atmosphere. No rezzies so have to plan for that. The food was in incredible had to order another round. read more

I have been coming here since its first owner...and then after it was bought by one of the waiters. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is always cozy...the food is very good for bar snacks and casual fare.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Last few years the staff I found to be inattentive even resentful. As a guest I always feel rather unwelcome like I am breaking up a staff party ...they are very engaged with their own conversation or playing with social media on their iPhones. The other night I sat on the bar and waited and waited without attention until I had to break up their conversation behind the bar and ask for service. Then sat and sat after I completed my meal.Put my card down very visible to let it be known that I wanted a check to pay....that went unnoticed too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I still love the place for its upstate cozy vibe but always leave annoyed by the lighting which is way to dim to even read the menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the disappointing unwelcoming service. This place needs a real management shake up to bring it back to what I remember. read more

Cozy wine bar with an excellent selection of wine by the glass and bottle. Their menu is perfect for light bites and pairings-- the staff is also super knowledgeable.

A very unassuming exterior complimented by a romantic, low light, rustic ambiance once inside. This place has a great wine selection, a few beers to choose from and friendly service. The menu is always getting new additions which keeps things exciting and delicious. I tried their Moussaka off their daily special list. The portion to price ratio was a bit off but the dish was delish. Great for a date night or intimate chat with a couple friends. read more

Absolutely chuffed to have visited this glorious spot. It was perfect t for a freezing Friday night. Fantastic wine list at agreeable prices. My friend and I shared the baked Brie and apples, kale and Brussels salad, butternut squash soup and goat cheese/beet/potato/salad masterpiece. Perfect sharing sizes. Our server was so kind to oblige a request to split the soup in 2 bowls, which was so appreciated. The crackling fire place warmed my hands AND my heart. This is definitely an intimate setting, most suited for groups of two - maybe 3 max. A lovely place I can't wait to visit again! read more
