solid wine bar. i came in at 8pm and it was 80% full but there's a cool area in the back where i ended up sitting. Wine was pretty good, $17 a glass roughly. Service was great, staff is very friendly and adjusted AC for us since it was hot. They were also playing the game in the bar! read more

Sauced - vibe - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Always a favorite spot, but I wanted to make sure I gave a shoutout to the food this time around! The grilled cheese is amazing. The no menu approach for the wine remains the best part of the experience. I appreciate how knowledgeable and unpretentious the staff is, they take the time to really understand your taste. The backyard patio is still the place to be when the weather is nice, offering a relaxed and social vibe. My only minor note remains the single bathroom. read more

A very cute and cozy wine bar, with a really nice outdoor patio. I enjoyed the decor with the disco balls and the chalk on the walls. It can get quite busy here, so it may be difficult to find seating. They ask you what type of wine you like, and let you try a few different ones before settling on a glass. I was only given two wines to try though, and would have liked to have sampled a couple more. read more

Friend recommended this wine bar to us while waiting for dinner reservations. It's a nice bar with many different wine options. The waitress was very knowledgeable with wine recommendations. I liked the fact they allow you to tell them what you're feeling like and they will pour some for you to try until you find one you like. We share a bottle and it hit the spot on a cool afternoon. The do have light bites as well. read more

Sauced - Chips - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Sauced is such a gem. The food, wine, and ambiance were all amazing, but what truly stood out to me was the service. We were served by Mehdi, and he went absolutely above and beyond. He was so kind and warm and genuinely treated us like he knew us personally, which added so much to the cozy, homey vibe of the place. The space itself is really cute -- perfect lighting with red tones, exposed brick walls, and such an intimate, inviting atmosphere. We ordered the charcuterie board and it was one of the best I've ever had. It was packed with an incredible variety of meats and cheeses and was more than enough to generously feed our table of four. At a lot of wine bars, I leave still feeling unsatisfied, but this one was filling and so well done. I had the Riesling and it was amazing -- the perfect balance of sweet and dry. And the real star of the show was the grilled cheese with ragù. So delicious. I'm from LA, but we will absolutely be back every time we're in Brooklyn. Highly recommend & cannot say enough about this place! It was one of the highlights of our trip :) read more

It's completely chaotic but that's part of the fun. I have really enjoyed the wine there and their food items (especially the grilled cheese) are not to be missed. The service experience is akin to a high school play being put on after 2 weeks of rehearsal. I sat at the bar once and we had ordered two bottles and they would not pour the wine for us lol, it just sat there. But I still think this place is charming. I'm not much of a wine person, but serious wine people (and sommeliers I know) detest this place for its raggedy operation and for not having a wine list. It has been a while since I've been in and have heard it's louder and more crowded than ever, with some other key changes for the worse, so take my words with a grain of salt! read more

Never go here! The workers are insanely rude. I went to tap on one of the workers shoulders to ask about a dish and he took it the wrong way and got into my face and cussed me out for gently tapping on his shoulder saying I pushed him. The other staff and security guard tried to give me and my friend free glasses of wine and they blamed it him being French???? This place is extremely unprofessional, misogynistic, and overall just a terrible place to spend your night especially as a woman. read more

A cozy wine bar hidden in Brooklyn! The intimate space has a bar and some tables, as well as a back section/more hidden and private room. The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable about the extensive wine list that they carry. I tried a number of different wines here and they have wines from all over the world, including some countries where I've never had wine from before! Everything was amazing and I had such a good time trying different wines. Would definitely recommend for any wine lover! read more

What a cozy gem! The patio at Sauced is gorgeous, the trees and greenery and string lights that make it so easy to sit for a few hours and drink some delicious wine. There were so many great options for wine, and the staff is so knowledgeable about each. They also let you try different wines before selecting your glass, which was great when trying out some new blends. Highly recommend this place! read more

Probably one of my favorite spots in all of Brooklyn. I originally came here back in October but could only stay for one drink since I had a train to catch. On my last visit to NYC in May, we made a point to spend a little more time here. We came in for a glass of wine and a small bite to eat in the early evening. They had a pop up happening that day in the back with smash burgers, hot dogs, and salads. The pop up had vegan options too including a vegan caesar salad and a vegan hot dog. I got the caesar salad and was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful it was for being vegan. It was sooo good! I'm not sure what the regular food situation is here (I think it's mainly light bites) but you may want to check their socials beforehand to see about any other pop ups happening. The wine here is natural and I usually leave the ordering to my natural wine freak of a boyfriend. I can't say I've ever had anything here to drink that I didn't like and they're nice enough to give you a taste before you commit to a glass. Every interaction I've had with the people who work here has been great. Ordering is done at the main counter and you grab your glass or bottle and find a seat. There's outdoor seating in the front as well as a garden patio area in the back. There's also plenty of small tables and bar stools inside. It's a basement venue so it's dark and moody. Perfect for a date night. read more

Don't go here ... Bouncer will bully you. I was with a group of people and at least five of us were separately harassed by one of the bouncers. Tall skinny black dude wearing a pink shirt and a blue hat. Guy was smirking and making trouble with multiple people, clearly just a miserable dude who kept trying to get off on making other people miserable too. At one point, my friend said, "I'm feeling animosity here even though we've been nothing but courteous patrons" and this bouncer said, "Maybe you're just sensitive". Was pretty absurd, everyone was upset, guy had a real knack for ruining the vibe. Management should be more careful with who they hire. read more

Sauced is a cutie sexy wine bar in Brooklyn that's underground and a vibe. You walk in and describe what kind of wine you're into or what you are feeling and they offer options. This is a natural wine bar as well. I believe they rotate bottles as well. It was super busy, energetic, a vibe for sure. I got a "juicy" red which was great to sip on and yap. This is a yap friendly zone y'all. Seems like a popular first date spot too. I really like le the selection and the wine bottles are marked with price in sharpie! I enjoyed the service, the wine is a little pricey but overall had a good time! It's a little dim light moment in there. read more

It's hard not to be charmed by Sauced's backyard. It's a long space that always seems full of the best dressed people, and it's perfect for having a glass of chilled red when the weather's nice. They have regular chairs and tables around the edges on the cobblestones, but I prefer sitting on the wooden platform they built in the middle. There's a beautiful tree back there that gives some shade and makes for a nice backrest. I like that they don't make you look at a wine menu. You can just tell them what you like and they'll pour you something. Most of us can't really tell the difference between wines anyway, so it works out well. I went there for a friend's pop-up restaurant once and it felt like everyone I knew was there. The place is definitely better when it's not too crowded. I've been lucky and gone on some nights when my group could have most of the backyard to ourselves. read more

The cutest wine bar I've been to! There's a wonderful backyard with lights and a cushions on the ground along with long tables. So many varieties of wine and everyone was super helpful! The grilled cheese was extremely delicious and the perfect bite! read more

Cute wine bar with a great selection of wines. I came here during the pig pork swine pop-up and the staff was very knowledgeable in helping me pick wines that would pair well with the food. Would recommend! read more

The cutest wine bar tucked into the heart of Williamsburg -- it's a short walk from the Bedford Ave stop and I am SO. OBSESSED. They have plenty of seating inside and a lovely outdoor patio, which I've been loving during the springtime. The bartenders here are really knowledgeable and nice -- if you describe a wine, they're good at making recommendations and let you sample until you're happy with a pick. The Onion Dip here is also DELISH, so highly recommend grabbing to share. I'll probably be back here this weekend. read more

The bartenders were friendly and the wine was good, but we had a negative experience with one of the male staff members working on the patio. As we walked back to our friends who were already out there and to hand one of them their glass of wine, he told us, "Just so you know, the patio will be closing in 5 minutes." We politely acknowledged that and continued walking, but he then said, "I didn't tell you we're closing in 5 minutes just for you to come back here and hang out." That comment caught us a little off guard, especially since we weren't necessarily planning to stay and linger, but half our group was back there and we had wine to give to one of them. If he didn't want anyone else to enter the patio, that's totally fine, but say that clearly because "in 5 minutes" and "now" are not the same and customers are not mind readers. He ended up clearing the patio immediately after anyway, and was very outwardly annoyed with everything. The whole exchange gave off a pretty negative vibe. Maybe they're just understaffed or dealing with stress--in which case I hope they can get some extra support to handle the crowds, because it's really not fun to interact with unnecessarily rude staff. read more

Their backyard is amazing! Such a nice spot to grab a drink with friends and enjoy the weather. Service was pretty slow but very friendly when you got their attention. I honestly hate that they don't have a wine list or prices anywhere because you go in blind with how much you are about to spend. I've noticed it's about $20 a glass which is pretty wild. read more

Such a cute little wine bar. Casual, approachable, but still very cool and very... Williamsburg... in the best way possible. Wine was yummy, the actual bar is so cute. So many nooks and table areas to find a little spot and chill. I know there's a back/outdoor area but didn't see it when we were there. Playlist is so on point. Happy we stopped in and look forward to dropping by again. read more

Fantastic wine bar in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. What appears to be a nice little hole in the wall keeps going. After you step down into the bar, there is a beautiful patio out back if you keep going. I stopped in after dinner for some wine before calling it a night. Enjoyed a dark red and a chilled red. I honestly don't know what I enjoyed, but both were very good recommendations. read more

I really like coming to this place when I can snag a seat. It's always pretty busy and I know why. There is a rotating menu of wines that change pretty often. I always ask for the same taste profiles but each time I get to try something different. The little platters are also really yummy to snack on. If you get a spot in the backyard outside with a few friends it's a really lovely experience. If you're ending the night on a hot date you can go to what I call the "make out room" which is the dark ass room in the back that I think is for horny people after they've enjoyed a lil too much (or the right amount of) wine. It's very casual Williamsburg...take that how you want. The cool thing about this place is that at first impression it has the pace and feeling of a BK bar. Get your drink. Get a seat. No time for real chit chat with the bar person and move on because you don't want other people waiting behind you to order. But I played myself the first time I went because I was too shy. I realized that if you just ask - the people working there have very unique wine knowledge and experience. Not everyone is a sommelier BUT everyone working there has a high level of wine knowledge (and passion) so you can get a lot of information on the wine from varied backgrounds. This makes conversation about the wine pretty colorful and unique and I think it's what keeps the place approachable. You can tell their team really focuses on standardization among the staff. Even when the staff is busy they will take care of their immediate customers AND are more than happy to come back and give you any information you need on wine picks - which requires a type of rare skill. When I'm there and I speak to any person working I can immediately tell there is a true appreciation for their customers and you realize why it's not a "fad" spot. If you want a lot of wine info and ask they give it to you. If you don't that's cool too and they'll leave you be. Overall it's a cool spot - it's giving kind hipsters who discovered wine tasting. And I like it. read more

The cutest wine bar in Williamsburg with such a great variety of wines and a cute outdoor area in the back! Loved the sparkling red in particular.

Sauced - outdoor area - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Have been hearing great things through the grapevine about Sauced. Popped in with my sweet roommate around 9 pm on a Sunday. I was expecting it to be pretty empty but was shocked to see that there were quite a few people there. Who knew that Sundays were so popular! There were two seats at the end of the bar so we grabbed those -- it was a bit too chilly to comfortably sit outside in the backyard for too long. I was already aware of the no-menu concept but generally think it's a good idea because the process of articulating preferences and seeing how they are reflected in the wine is very fun. I sampled a few orange wines but in the end opted to go with a red pinot noir. Pretty fruity and full bodied. Small critiques, but I was surprised that glasses aren't switched out between wine tastings-- you use the same glass. I didn't feel like it gave me an opportunity to really give each wine a fair shot, but I also recognize that means unnecessary dirty glasses. And also interesting is that the glasses they use for wine are really thick and stout. Am more accustomed to longer stems and thinner glasses, and generally feel that wine tastes better out of a thin glass. We ended up staying longer than intended because it was really just a fun and chill vibe. I'm very curious about the food here as well as it looked delicious. It seems that they have pop-ups decently frequently which I think is very fun. I don't see myself choosing to come here on a Friday or Saturday when I've heard it's packed, but am hoping to make myself a regular here this summer. read more

Sauced - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've enjoyed a number of different wine bars over the years and Sauced is unique. There's no wine list to choose from. Staff talks to you about what you are looking for and then brings out a few choices for you to taste. The wines are unique, natural and mostly from different countries. Once we selected, we enjoyed a couple of glasses of different wines.We also ordered a charcuterie board that was filling and tasteful. The wait staff is informative, helpful and responsive. The environment is very relaxed and ... well... "cool." Overall, prices are about par for a wine bar in an urban setting. read more

Sauced - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

TLDR: the wait staff are RUDE and IMPATIENT - esp. with our bigger group one Sunday afternoon - all in the name of locking in a 20% group gratuity. They need to work on their internal comms, because our friend reached out ahead of time about a bigger group coming by and asked if a reservation was required, which the Sauced team said, no, just come early. Cool. Our group got there early at opening, but ofc there were still some that were gonna be arriving later (its a bday party - people come and go!). But the waiter said the bar policy is a minimum of $1000 for a big group AND must be on a single tab. Otherwise how would he be able to make sure that 20% tip was included for everyone in our group. We told them that someone from Sauced had confirmed before that we didnt have to make a res, but he just claimed we were being difficult (all while saying he doesn't want drama). In the end, we asked nicely and he agreed (reluctantly and bitterly) we can pay on individual tabs, if we agree to the 20% and to tell anyone else coming to mention they were with the group. The rest of the afternoon was uncomfortable for us and he was passive aggressive again and again - just the attitude you want trying to order an expensive wine at a place with out a wine menu. read more

So much seating, such a great selection, and they really don't rush you here. The staff seems genuinely interested in you having a good time

Really awful experience at Sauced yesterday. I came here to meet my friends for my birthday because I love their wine selection and backyard space. Beforehand, I even communicated with staff online and in person and they confirmed with me that if I came on a Sunday at opening (a slower business day/time), I could easily just snag a garden table (instead of doing a reservation) and avoid issues with the card minimum and allow us all to have separate tabs. Unfortunately, when we arrived, one French bartender was incredibly rude and dismissive from the moment we walked in. Despite our efforts to be polite and even offer a larger tip to make things easier, his attitude was aggressive and he even threatened to kick us out. He completely ruined what was supposed to be a fun afternoon!!! I won't be coming back after this experience! AVOID SAUCED! read more

This is a great spot to go for a glass (or two or three) of wine. When you arrive, you seat yourself, and a server will ask you what type of wine you like to drink. From there, they'll give you a few options to taste and you'll pick one to have as a full glass. It's a different kind of ordering process, but that's what makes it fun! We got there right when they opened, and snagged a table. Within 30 minutes, most seating was taken, so keep that in mind. It's a really cool vibe. I'll definitely plan to visit again! read more

Great atmosphere, and layout. There are quite a few seating areas: the front entrance has a few tables, there's seating by the bar, before the patio and finally there's a patio. It is stunning. My friend and I didn't have a table which was fine because the garden area had amazing seating. Our bottle of rosé came up to $60 which was a bit pricey; would love if there was a free bite to have in addition to getting a bottle (like bread and olive oil or a biscuit). Overall, I would come back here. The food menu from what I noticed is very light, so plan accordingly. read more

been meaning to check this place out for over a year and glad I finally got to! sadly it was too cold for the patio but the inside is vibey. the speakers were a bit too loud imo...which made it hard to talk no matter where you sat. wine was decent, nothing mind blowing for $17 a glass but enjoyable nonetheless. a cute place to go with friends! read more

Truly fell in love with this place!!! The back patio on a beautiful night was breathtaking. Could sit here and drink wine for hours. I'd recommend getting here on the early side for a table but the seating on the wood is great with the pillows.

Felt like I was transported to a French wine bar inside and an Austin backyard outside! Truly a gem here in Brooklyn, will be back!! read more

True gem in Williamsburg, goes well with overall boho vibe of the hood. Cool place with cozy interiors and a beautiful backyard. I wanted to visit this place specially for the backyard but sadly it was raining, so we had to park ourselves inside. They have a great collection of natural wines. We tried one of their Roses (I wish I could reconnected the name) and instantly went for a repeat. They bake their own bread in-house. Bread with cheese platter made for a perfect companion with the delicious crisp wine. I can tell you the backyard will be a perfect setting specially during warm fall afternoons. It's a must visit if you happen to be in the neighborhood. read more

Sauced - Inside - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great staff that's enthusiastic about helping you find the right drink for your mood. This place gets fairly packed quickly so finding a "corner" for you and your friends may be tough but once you do, it's the right amount of music and background noise to do your own thing. The wine options are fairly priced across the board and they let you try to confirm if it's what you want before serving full glass. There's also a backyard patio space that's great. Again, it was fairly packed so we stayed inside. On a nice day, it is definitely a plus. Bar snacks are decent. Only had the Iberico ham, but it was a good portion and freshly sliced to order as well as nice and thin. read more

My party was so glad we stalled an extra few minutes after putting our name down for walk-up (while unsuccessfully looking up an alternative after being told it would be a 45 minute wait) - we were able to nab a corner area with high chairs, but despite lacking a real table it was perfect for our party of 5 who were looking for a quick sip. We got a bottle of Bianco. It was smooth and clean (apologize my wine terminology) and personally, I wasn't really getting enough of the citrus notes that we were told it had but it went down my throat slick. And even with dinner next on the agenda, we couldn't resist the focaccia. Apparently it is usually 4 pieces but the staff said "didn't want to make anyone cry" so he threw on an extra piece for our five person group. What a service! Foccacia itself was the softest one I ever had - and we had thoroughly enjoyed the chef taking the patience and grace topping the bread (we had a front row seating to the open kitchen, which included multiple torch shows) with wholesome nuts, seed, and spices to add a flavorful touch. Transient but a really pleasant experience considering it was my first natural wine bar experience! read more

Excellent wine bar in south Williamsburg. The staff is super helpful about finding a wine to fit your tastes and budget, it's nice not even having to look at a menu sometimes. It can get a little crowded inside, but there's lots of seating out front and in the back garden area when weather permits. Definitely a great place for a laid back glass with friends! read more
