This is probably the least pretentious bar in the neighborhood and I freaking love it. On so many levels, it is just perfection. First off, the decor is stunning. Completely old-timey minimalist with beautiful bare white walls, a nice tile and black board wall behind the bar, and plenty of room throughout to congregate. I am in love with the layout. Besides having plenty of room in the main bar area, there is a nice little nook in the back that would be PERFECT for a small private gathering (and it's off on it's own, so there are no patrons cutting through). The outdoor area and quite large with plenty of seating and plenty of free space for standing. And the staff... so nice! Nice in a very genuine way and not in a 'we need money' way. They are nice people who know what they are selling and are more than happy to give you the run down about whatever wine, cheese, beer, or meat you desire. Such a low key, beautifully oriented and decorated place with wonderful staff. And the prices are fair too. If you are looking for a nice place for a drink that doesn't shove some stupid, irrelevant and kitschy style up your ass, this is the place! A+ read more

Not sure why I expected more from Tuffet but I did, and maybe that's the nature of reading a great review. I guess I imagined a little more of a 'wine bar' atmosphere but it really is just a bar. That said, it's a terrific bar with interesting drinks, solid wine list and good selection of meat and cheese. Another plus - it has a liquor license, so it you're not a big wine person (me) you can have a good scotch or gin drink. The lighting is nice, and service is excellent. The patio out back is kind of scarce and the inside, like I said, is also sort of empty and could use some personality, but maybe they're working on that. And good service and booze/food makes up for a lot. So I'd say don't go WAY out of your way for this place, but if you're around and want a semi-sophistocated place to get your drink on, check it out. read more

this place has a small fireplace in the backyard. there's a small room in the back called the study that you can rent out. came here tonight for an engagement party. it's a cozy spot with a selection of cheese and meats. there's also seasonal cocktails, which I love. anything seasonal gets me. it only comes once a year! worth considering for a small party. read more

Pretentious and pompous with staff that believes it serves Holly water while delivering service and beverages of the two Buck chuck range. Oh and overpriced as hell. Here is the hint - lose 90% of your attitude and just maybe you will start delivering on what you promise. read more

I generally don't like bars. I go to them when friends are in town and we have to show them the NYC that they want to see. However, Tuffet has honestly changed that. Now my default thing to do on the weekends is to go here for some freaking awesome Sangria (my husband likes their beer selection too), and just enjoy a really chill atmosphere, at reasonable prices, with fantastic music. My first trip here was only a few weeks ago, and I rated them a 4 at the time. Since I find myself wanting to come back over and over again, I felt I needed to upgrade this quickly. Pretty sure this is our new favorite bar in NYC. read more

This place rules. Bonus points for playing music quietly and not being crowded.

I was there last night for the first time. I had a glass of the Malbec Reseva and two cheeses, the Bianco Sardo and the Bayley Hazen. All of it was really good. This place has a great vibe and the staff is really cool and helpful. I plan on going back there often. It's a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

I cannot sing the praises of Tuffet loud enough. We had our wedding ceremony and reception here. Alicia is so kind and helpful. The entire staff was warm and friendly and inviting. They created a fun atmosphere filled with delicious food and wonderful drinks. I could not be more grateful to have found Tuffet and I recommend them so highly!!! read more

Best sandwich I have had in a really long time. sopressata with the fig jam was amazing. read more

I really enjoyed having a glass of wine and a sample of cheeses. The server was attentive. The place was low-key and quaint. I enjoyed the rustic decor indoors. read more

I have been coming here for a little while now and keep meaning to write a review. Tuffet is a great addition to this side of the neighborhood! The music is always soulful and chill. The place is inviting without trying too hard. The staff is attentive and there is also a backyard with wifi.....what else do you need? I've been told they have a small party room, wine and cheese party anyone?? In a nutshell, great place to stop in and have a glass....or four! read more

I wanted to like this place...but the second time I went the bartender was so distracted (socializing) and she didn't warn me that the drink she recommended to me was not a pour but an entire bottle (ie, $16)--it was pretty obvious that I--a normal size single girl--would NOT be finishing this. On top of that, for some reason she charged us both tax on our drinks--proceeded to hand us a printed receipt for our 2 drinks. Is this a bar or a cafe? C'mon, get it together. read more

Loves the sexy meat and cheese plates. Delicious sangrias and a back yard. Color me hooked.

Stopped by because I was in the neighborhood and almost all me reviews are of wine bars lol. The owner was playing bartender and she was very knowledgable and polite. It was nothing to write home about but if I'm passing by and in the mood for cheese (as usual) I will stop in. read more

Been twice. It's all great except the small portions of cheese and service is extremely slow-~~~~. The girl seemed overwhelmed (tho there were maybe 7 people), constantly repeating orders to herself and wondering into the air trying to remember where things were and how to compose a cheese plate. Manic and painful to watch. Please get someone a bit more confident and composed. read more

I went with friends on a late Saturday afternoon. It's a very dark and intimate atmosphere, but it fits the space. We ordered a meat and cheese plate -- two meats (prosciutto and a chicken liver mousse) and two cheeses (gouda and goat cheese). Everything was delicious, and just enough as a snack for three people. Definitely plan on returning. read more

I appreciate (as a reviewer below pointed out, though in more of a negative light) the curated menu of a wine bar but the atmosphere of 'just a bar'. They play loud music. It's dark. All the ladies behind the bar are super sweet. And they have a nice balance of approachable vs. special in all categories: beer, wine and food. It's a great place for a date. I'm always surprised by how dead this place is later on, something I hope doesn't change. One thing I would change: expand the cocktail menu or just focus on beer and wine, the current selection falls a little short. read more

Five stars for concept and the decor inside is really pleasant. And while the concept-- salumeria/fromagerie/wine bar/coffee shop/bar -- is awesome, it's not quite any of those things and all of them at the same time. The good: nice pairings with cheese plate, day drinking special, outdoor patio seating, good beers on tap, very friendly service The so-so: a little overpriced, especially for the cheese, patio is sparse and could use a little hosing down/de-smelling, service was a bit slow. Looking forward to going back for the patio (especially with some more decor and smelling a tad nicer) and drinks selection. Would like to order cheese again but might not want to break the bank. read more

Lovely, cozy little spot with great cocktails, wines, and tasty meat/cheese platters. Will be back!

I love this place. The seasonal sangrias are creative and tasty (sriracha! Hickory mango!). The food is awesome and prepped right in front of you, with complimentary finger foods and freshly toasted bread. We got burrata drizzled with olive oil, aged Gouda, prosciutto, and chicken liver mousse for $20, with some nuts, fruit, and pickles. My girlfriend and I shared and the portions were great for a happy hour snack. And they have a nice outside area in the back. In short, this place is the sh*t. read more

A gem in the neighborhood. Amazing cheese and meat selection, decent wine list, and one of the cutest gardens around. The owner and staff are absolutely delightful. This place is definitely in my top five in the hood. read more

Tuffet, I love it, give me a crumpet. Cheese please, give me a squeeze. Malbec, throwback, give me rogues on horseback!! This place is the shit. read more

This place was everything I could have wanted. Low-key, seat yourself, delicious cheeses and delicious wines. The staff was friendly and helpful but allowed diners to take their time and enjoy the flavors. I hope more people go here because this place is great. Obviously don't go here if you are starving but if you love cheese and appreciate a good pairing, Tuffet is a super cute spot. Not to mention the bill comes in an autograph book, makes you feel like a star! I heart Tuffet read more

OK. New fave spot -- love the wine (we got to try a few!) and the meats and cheese plate was off the hook! The women who were behind the bar were sweet and very helpful. It's the perfect place for a date night with the husband or to catch up with a good friend. Mellow, relaxing, and really well done. Everything you want in a wine bar. Can't wait to come back! read more

Visited from SF and enjoyed sampling the sandwiches and thought 1- these are likely THE BEST sandwiches I have EVER eaten and 2- I wished they didn't have to end! We will be back! YUM (and my foodie daughter agreed 100%). read more

Decently-priced bottles of wine to share with friends. And on that note, they tolerated my loud group of friends who reunited after a long time apart! Always nice to feel welcomed. read more

Very chilled place. The garden at the back is great. Good service & selection of drinks/cheese. Overall a great place to catch up with friends read more

love this spot, been coming for years. :) obsessed with the back patio enough to not actually want to publish this review because more people will want to go. read more

I had my sister's baby shower at Tuffet, and I really couldn't recommend this place more! The owner was so easy to work with and super accommodating. We had some guests with dietary restrictions and the owner was very quick to offer different options and make sure we had food that everyone could eat. The backyard is beautiful, and really perfect for a small event. We only added a few decorations but you really don't need much. The food was all delicious, fresh, and healthy-ish. The pitcher drinks were refreshing. Look no further than Tuffet for your next event!! read more

One of my favorite Brooklyn staples. I had the cheesy artichoke crock and it was like I was getting a warm hug. Wines and cocktails are pretty much the jam. read more

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here last weekend. Every single thing was perfect, from the food to the drinks to the service. Our guests had a wonderful time and have all told us how much they appreciated that we had amazing, delicious food instead of the typical fare at weddings. We have always loved this place and have a new appreciation for it now! The staff was just outstanding. If you are looking for a fun, cool, but still incredibly high-quality and professional venue for an event, this is your spot! read more

Lovely bar with a pretty patio. Good wine selection but we are in love with the smores and outdoor fireplace and amazing cheese and meat plates. Friendly service and a great date night choice! read more

nice space and concept. very happy that they added non pork meat selections to their menu to accompany their many assorted cheeses. nice wine selection and craft beers. Friendly service and on a nice day, the outdoor terrace cant be beat. read more

friend had a baby shower here. such a cute/trendy place! food was tasty, cocktails were delish, & staff was super friendly.

Geez, for a place that certainly has everything going for it (good location, good food, good decor, good backyard), they sure manage to screw it up. I've been here 3 times now and every time has been a service disaster; the portion sizes keep getting smaller, the service slower and the staff worse. Last time we waited 30 minutes for a sandwich and cheese plate (there were 5 people in the bar, and no one else was ordering food), the time before I waited 45 minutes after they charged the wrong credit card that was left behind the bar and they couldn't figure out how to work the machine. Eventually had to go take cash out, and I'm sure whoever got charged for our drinks had a fun time getting their refund. Drinks consistently take forever, and the bartenders are clueless. A real shame, I've put up with some crumby service in New York and I hate to say this is one of the first that I refuse to come back to again. Three strikes, you're out. read more

Amazing cheese selection and the best sangria on Graham avenue. Perfect place to take a romantic date.

What a delightful place....very cozy and low key. My man and I had a deliciously diverse selection of cheeses and meats paired with wonderful wines...all recommended by Alicia . She also made me one mighty refreshing and delicious dirty gin martini. I'm sure the back yard will be abuzzing once spring arrives...definitely added to my list of regular haunts. read more

Great vibe, went in with 2 friends on a Monday night (memorial day) and the inside was empty! Classy setting, dimly lit, great food! Loved there cheese and meat plate...went for the 8 for $32 deal, good for 3 people though I do wish the portions were slightly larger. Overall great night out. read more
