"Taking a trip to Black Mountain Wine House is like a mini vacation to a tiny mountain cottage. The rustic interior, the heavy pours of wine and the crackling fireplace make for the most romantic experience in South Brooklyn. We love going to Black Mountain Wine House for a light dinner. Their plates are on the small size, but everything is packed with so much flavor you'll want to order at least two. The staff here is exceptionally friendly and we always have a good time getting to know neighbors here. The vibe is perfectly tailored for having intimate conversations and feeling the love." - Ghostly Ferns
"This barely marked building steps west of the Gowanus Canal on a street connected to the other side with a picturesque bridge, is in fact a wine bar with a spectacular range of affordable vintages by the glass, plus cheese, charcuterie, and small plates for snacking. It feels a bit like a rustic bed and breakfast inside, with log detailing, Adirondack chairs, and a wood-burning, stone-finished fireplace." - Eater Staff
"At this Gowanus wine bar impersonating a ski chalet, even the cheapest wine—a chilled red from Burgundy, say—is always good enough. Add a cheese board or panini, and you're set." - bryan kim
"Drinking by a fireplace in a dimly lit room surrounded by bottle-lined shelves sounds ideal in the dead of winter, and even though it might sound like something you’d typically associate with drinking dark liquor or cocktails, it’s just as enjoyable with wine. At Black Mountain Wine House in Gowanus, the shelves around the fireplace are filled with small production wines from around the world, and whether you’re interested in blind-tasting three wines for $10 during Happy Hour, or sharing a bottle and some small plates with a date, this place is a great option." - matt tervooren
"Quite literally a cabin in the middle of Gowanus (complete with wood siding, a front yard, and firewood by the door), Black Mountain Wine House may very well be Brooklyn’s coziest bar. Step inside and you’ll immediately feel like you’ve left NYC for a place that is everything you would ever want from a weekend in the mountains. There’s a roaring brick fireplace, lots of comfortable seating, thirty different wines by the glass, and all of the feel-good vibes. And just so you don’t have to brave the cold to figure out your dinner plan, there’s a frequently changing menu of food way more satisfying than the typical cheese-and-charcuterie offerings." - katherine lewin
