Worth checking out.

Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

This is a really nice low-key wine spot. They seem to specialize in ice-cream + wine, which is an…read moreinteresting combo, but it works. Their ice cream flavors are super unique (inlcuding cheese flavor and fish sauce). The ice cream quality was really good, but although the unique flavors were interesting, the coffee was easily the best and some of the best ice cream I've had in the city. The wine selection was very good, and the bartender was sommelier who gave some good recommendations. This spot is quite small, so maybe would not bring a large group and to come here on a weekday night.

The teal walls and glowing wine bottles make it look like someone with taste and a passport designed the space. The food is outstanding.

Even the wine glasses have personality, literally, ZiZi's face on them. Service was great, portions perfect for sharing, and everything came out like it was plated by someone who actually cares.

I went at 7pm on a Saturday night. The ambiance started out as a trendy wine bar: dimly lit, well-dressed guests, chatter all around. By the time we left, the music had been switched to EDM and was cranked all the way up: it felt as if they were starting to become more of a nightclub, to be honest! The wine was alright: our servers seemed quite overworked and weren't very interested in helping me choose out a good wine for me to try, which was a bit disappointing. The food, however, was amazing: I got the raclette flatbread and the homemade meatballs, and I was shocked that everything was delicious! I don't expect wine bars to have food, much less good food.

The hwe crudo was refreshing and delicious, and the salad was also a standout -- bright, crisp, and really well-balanced. But the best thing we had by far was the dak mandu, the crab/chicken dumplings. Those alone are worth coming back for. The ssam lettuce wraps were good, though they read a little more like Jewish brisket with a spicy bean sauce than what I expected from a Korean lettuce wrap. Still tasty, just a different vibe. Honestly, this would've been a 5-star meal if I didn't leave with three mosquito bites. Great food, great service, great wine -- just maybe bring bug spray.
