Vin Sur Vingt Wine Bar - NOMAD

I went to this place with a friend specifically for Beaujolais Nouveau, as it was advertised as a French bar celebrating this special wine. My friend arrived first and asked the waitress if they had Beaujolais Nouveau during happy hour. Instead of clarifying or offering a taste, the waitress simply brought her a glass without confirmation. When I arrived 10 minutes later, I asked about bottles, and this time, we received proper service with the bottle opened and tasted at the table. When I asked for food recommendations, the waitress suggested something but stopped at charcuterie and cheese boards, which we ordered from the regular menu. However, later on, we noticed a poster on the wall advertising special offers for Beaujolais Day. When I asked her about it, she said she “didn’t know” because “the owner put it up”, “I can’t change it now, you already ordered” - nobody asked her to change anything. There was no apology, just excuses. Another waitress chimed in, claiming it was a “miscommunication” and that they hadn’t been informed. It was only after I expressed how unacceptable this was that one of them reluctantly apologized - but only after being prompted. Both of us had asked about Beaujolais Day from the start, yet none of the staff mentioned the specials or seemed remotely informed about the event they were supposed to be hosting. If this bar is trying to channel the vibe of a French establishment, the awful service might fit the stereotype, but it’s definitely not the kind of authenticity worth holding onto.

Such a fabulous French wine bar with good nosh. Their happy hour is divine, from 3pn-6pm, glasses for $10.

Their wine selection was not as extensive as I would've liked, especially if you're only ordering a glass and not the bottle. We stopped by for drinks only after dinner. I was looking for a dessert wine, but they carry no sweet wines at all. I got a wine that was fine, but nothing to rave about. If you don't go during happy hour, the prices are a little high, but the glasses are big and the pour is heavy, so it's ok. The location is great and they have lots of outdoor seating. We sat at the bar and had great service.

Came here with a friend and got a glass of wine each and the cheese tasting board. The wine selection was not as big as I expected but it was good regardless. The cheese board had a decent selection however for the price, I thought the quantity was a bit small, especially for the sides like the fig jam. Overall decent place for wine, but pretty expensive given other places in NYC.

They don’t have the wine tasting flight I wanted, so I got a glass of something they suggest (tasted ok, nothing special). Then they accidentally charge me the price of a bottle instead of a glass. Ok atmosphere, but the wine selection was not as impressive as I thought.

This used to be great place to go, great ambiance service and drinks. This no longer the case. We own a business and our office is across the street, we have been coming to this place often with the team for more than 5 years. The place used to be packed on Fridays, we noticed now is half empty. Today, after spending 500 $ bill, we experienced terrible service and racist attitude toward some members of our team. After inquiring about the offensive attitude and arguing about it we were asked to leave the bar and were physically intimidated with some ‘fake security’. Police even had to show up. Very disappointed after years of being a loyal customer. We won’t be back to this grey place, and so we do not recommend you to go either, there are plenty of other options in the neighborhood. Cheers

Such a wonderful experience if you’re looking for a taste of authentic France. The Tarte Flambé has to be the BEST ones I’ve had yet and I’ve tasted two Michelin stars worth. The service is superb and in my opinion absolutely worth it. Sitting alone or dining in you won’t be disappointed. Super laid back yet absolutely fancy. My best of both worlds ! Thank you.

Tried to pull a fast one by not applying the happy hour discount to the order then ran off when called out. Then tried to get a tip on top of a mandatory 20% service fee. All I'd say is check your bill very carefully here.

This place made all of my dreams come true! Had a wine that tasted like all of the grapes of eden!

Came here to meet up and catch up with a friend after an early evening engagement I had. My friend was able to have dinner while I had a glass of wine. Solid wine menu consisting solely of French wines along with a food menu of classic French bistro dishes. It wasn't too crowded on a school night and we were able to linger and enjoyed catching up.

Came here for wine with a friend after dinner and had a lack luster experience. The staff was not very friendly and seemed to be in no rush to serve us despite being literally the only table with people in the entire place. Half of the things we wanted on the menu were no longer available and ended up getting some random white wine. It wasn't the best wine I've had and for what I paid, I was disappointed. The place itself is quite nice though and clean, although I will not be back.

We came for the wine but were blown away by the "poulet a la creme" cassoulet. I would come back just for the cassoulet. Creamy but not too creamy (I'm not normally a big cream person) with mushrooms that perfectly complement the chicken. Yum. Just yum. Note: Very limited happy hour selection (they pick one red and one white to discount).

Love the ambiance here! A calm, cozy wine bar that's perfect for after-dinner drinks. The wine menu is extensive and has a bunch of French wines. We split a bottle of wine when we came here but I believe they offer wine flights also (choose 3 wines to try), I might try that next time.

This place is my absolute favorite. My fiancé and I live close by and frequently come for foie gras and wine. Their happy hour prices are incredible So show up before 6 pm if you can! The service is amazing and the vibes are as close to sitting and drinking on the street in Europe as you can get. A house favorite!!

Love doing Thursday wine night for the pre-weekend, and Vin Sur Vingt never disappoints me with its wine selection. I tried four different wines this time and I enjoyed them all. It's also my first time trying their Ratatouille dish and it's a good pairing with the Alsace Pinot Blanc I picked. The rose Burt is always my perfect ending for the wine night, and I feel relaxed just looking at the bubbles haha. I can't wait to try more wines from the list for the next visit. La vie est belle! Cheers

Came for the happy hour wines, stayed for the vibe. Classic French fare, good service and music. Cozy spot for solo dining or catching up with the girls. Only 2 HH red and white selections, but the Gamay I had was good and paired well with the duck that was more than surprisingly delicious. I don't usually have duck but this melted right in my mouth. Only wish they had more gluten free options, or at least served a basic side of fries too haha overall conveniently located and decent pricing

We ordered a bottle of wine and some food. Then one of the waitresses took away my glass with the full of wine in it while I was talking to my friend because I looked sleepy. I was shocked and asked her why the glass was taken away. She replied that it was because I looked sleepy. It's French bar and I'm an Asian.... I was only Asian among my friends and she took only my glass. Then we complained that she could not take my glass (that we paid) but the manager said that the waitress did the right thing to do ..... why why why ?? We paid and I cannot drink ???

Favorite wine bar in my neighborhood to start a date, get a drink with a friend, pre-game etc. Excellent wine selection, and relatively good pricing in Manhattan (not $30 for a glass of Pinot Noir *eyeroll*). It's been my go-to spot for many years now and will continue coming here.

Most generous and tasty cheese plate in the area! Even better than Eatly! Paired with their house red during happy hour, you'll go home happy and satisfied! We sat outside, literally on Broadway! We felt safe and totally relaxed while watching all the people going by. Our waiter, who also sat us was so nice. He went over the wine menu with us and gave us some great ideas. I'd planned on a wine pairing but he quickly alerted us to the happy hour that was ending soon. Great idea!!!! They have some tasty wines for $10 a glass and they do offer a generous pour. I am eager to go back for cheese alone but I also want to try their actual meals!!! This place is legit and serves up some typical French fare in NOMAD!

It pains me to only leave two stars for this wine bar. The ambiance is lovely, and the wine list is fantastic. The appetizers we tried were delicious. However, regrettably, the service was extremely poor and quite rude, bordering on disrespectful. Sadly, we won't be returning.

Vin Sur Vingt sets the stage with a dark candle-lit ambiance with quant understated elegance. They offer a HUGE wine selection with french classic dishes. I enjoyed a selection of cheeses (delicious) and the steak tartare (amazing!). It was served with a selection of bread and was quite a filling dinner as an individual dinner. I could see this being a great place for a date or small group get-together. Large parties might be difficult due to the overall noise level and the tables are on the smaller side. Friendly staff, excellent food, and enjoyable experience.

My friend and I dropped by this wine bar on a Friday night and it was a perfect place to end the night. Great vibes for a date spot with candle-lit ambiance. We tried the garlic charcuterie along with a glass of red wine as we sat at the window. The staff was friendly and attentive and would be back again. One thing to note -- we were going to try the wine flights, but they no longer offer that as an option.

Super cute spot! Wide range of wine to try. Not a lot of info on the menu itself but the server (who might have been the owner?) is very knowledgeable and will help you navigate it. Great French wine bar vibes

Wine list is incredible, server, bartender, and sommelier are very knowledgeable and helpful! They even were so generous and let us sample some additional wines. Would come back againN

Excellent wine list and everything our bartender suggested was just what our wine taste buds love. We tried a couple of different glasses.

The service is terribly bad. Waitress did not acknowledge us, had to go inside two times to get attention.. no hello or acknowledgement by the waitress when she finally made her way to the table.. no water provided.. absolutely terrible.

{Overall: 5; Food + Wine: 5}; Atmosphere: 5 Really cute and intimate wine bar. Very high quality and reasonably priced wine and food that you'll love eating. Rare find. Because of COVID, the wine list was a little more limited, but anything we tried was really drinkable. The food menu covers a lot of French staples and do them very well (beef bourguignon, croque monsieur, French onion soup, etc.) I can see this being one of my casual go to dinner spots in the area. I had the beef bourguignon and the poulet a la crème (which was my favorite). The meats were so tender and the sauces were so rich. Even though the portions look small, one cassolette to one person is not unreasonable because the food is hearty. The ambiance is really intimate - the lighting is low and it's a smaller spot. High top sets and cozier booth seats.

Great wine, great food, good service. Really good selection of wines by the glass. The tarte flambé is also really good! Soft and flaky crust, not too filling, but just enough to share with someone. Wish they still had the flights though!

Lovely little wine bar. Feels like a bistro in the south of France. Owner is amazing and the rosè is amazing.

Absolutely lovely spot for a quiet drink and a small bite of French cuisine. We sat at the bar, and enjoyed the happy hour wines by the glass (there is a tremendous selection of French wines...enough that you'll want to ask for recommendations). The staff are attentive and friendly, and the small plate of foie gras (along with the baguette) was a perfect pair to the wines.

Second time here. Both times 5 star. The wine, the boeuf bourguignon, croque monsiier...everything so good. Both times bartender recommended great wine reccs with food. And it's such a cute place!

Always a good time visiting any of the spots in NYC. This location, in particular, couldnt do the wine flights when I was there because they were out of the tasting glasses. Even so, still a good time with solid charcuterie boards and wine (glass) selections.

Cute wine bar in a great location! The wine selection was vast but they were also out of a few wine options which wasn't ideal.

We had after dinner drinks and Vin Sur Vingt came up in our search for wine bars since we finished dinner at Christopher Street. Our waitress was lovely and recommended nice Sauvignon Blanc that was crisp and refreshing for a summer evening. We sat outside since it was a nice evening and enjoyed the surroundings of the West Village. Definitely a must go place if you are in NYC.

Great wine bar with huge selection. They have wine flights for happy hour and you can pair with some charcuterie, cheese or light snack options. Would definitely recommend for a glass of wine or to share a bottle with friends.

Three separate locals recommended this spot to me when I shared that I was craving great cheese and wine while on a solo day in NYC. The cheese selection changes daily but the host was kind enough to ask my preferences and curated the best of the soft cheeses for me. I sat in the back with a book and the vibes were immaculate. I highly recommend their beef tartare if you like tartare. It's the best I've had outside of France. My service was top notch, the happy hour specials are unbeatable (10$ for a glass of wine) and you'll feel transported to Europe.

What a great French wine experience!! For sure will return!! The service was great also!!

We LOVED this place! The wine selection is fantastic. Our server was helpful in picking out a wine. He actually steered me to a different wine that was better AND cheaper. The food was out of this world. The tartare, ratatouille and cheese sandwich were perfect. A super relaxed vibe. Can't wait to come back!!

Went here as a party of 4. Ordered a couple bottles of the beaujolais (essentially a Pinot noir) and it was excellent. Great ambience and vibe. Place seemed like a pre dinner drinks spot then once dinner time rolled around it got less crowded. Great wine bar!

I don't typically seek out wine bars but we decided to stop in after needing a place to seek refuge from the frigid weather. We went around 5 PM on a Saturday and it was busy but not packed which was good as I'm still getting slowly acclimated to dining indoors once again. The wine selection (to me) was fairly extensive without being overwhelming and our waiter made excellent recommendations for those of us who were unfamiliar with wines. We also ordered a combination board with 3 fromages and 3 charcuteries. The choices on the board were all delicious and served with a basket of bread. Definitely a place with a lovely vibe, yummy food, and great service!

First.. the place is lovely and the staff was great. Wine was excellent with some resonably priced galsses (reasonable as far as NYC goes!) But the food was awful. I went with a few friends and we all had the Tartine.. The Tomate was a skimpy piece of toasted bread loaded with slivers of raw tasteless tomatoes. We also had the Champignons.. one piece if skimpy toast with mushrooms and cold tiny chunks cheese. It all had an awful moldy tatse. I am hoping this was just an off day since I really like the place. I was expecting it to be similar to the wine bar Le Pif that was on Broadway between 70th and 71st. The food there was excellent. If anyone who works in the kitchen reads this.. please make improvements!!! .

Wow, what a find. This is one of those places I hesitate to write a review about because I want to keep it for myself! But it really was good. This is for the Nomad location. Our group walked in, I guess shortly after it opened as we were the only ones there at first, and we had a great table near the back. The place is small, classy and elegant but still casual. It touts itself as French wine bar, and the ambience and decor is unmistakably French, with the marble and i believe there were gold and mirrored accents as well. Our server Rome was wonderful. Everything we ordered was delicious: charcuteries including pate and cheeses, olives, and the brie and honey. All delicious. The wine selection of course was the star. I am by no means a wine expert, and I am admittedly not very familiar with French wines, but the French wines I've had in the past did not measure up to the deliciousness of the wines we were recommended here: 2020 Theron prestige malbec, Cep D'Or rose. Touraine Cenonceaux , and finished with Charles meras Brut champagne. Thanks again to Rome and everyone for a wonderful evening here.

This was our first time visiting Vin sur Vingt. The atmosphere was lovely with wonderful music selection, tiny tables, and of course, a wonderful bar. The lighting is dim and cozy, which is quite romantic if you come with a special someone. They have an excellent french wine selection, and the waiters and hostess were incredibly welcoming and warm. I highly recommend trying out this place in off-peak hours or during one of their happy hours. We would absolutely come back for both the ambience and drinks/food. Great place to grab a glass of wine and quick bite. A must if you like little Parisian wine bars!

Great wine with great ambience. My friend and I have been here many many times this year. This place is great for wine and small bites. We really come here for the mussels. Both the red and white sauces are good, but we definitely love the white sauce more. You get a huge portion of mussels with bread on the side. Dip the bread in the sauce and it's magic. This is one of our regular spots in the area.

4.5 stars only because I haven't tried any of the food menu at Vin Sur Vingt (VSV). As most other reviewers have noted, Vin Sur Vingt is the perfect bar to start or end your night with a diverse choice of wines by the glass and a massive, 250+ bottle wine list in its entirety. I've stopped in on multiple occasions, usually before going to a big dinner in the area or finishing the evening with the glass of wine I wish the restaurant I had chosen had offered. The building itself has a bit of a mildew-y smell, which is somewhat unavoidable in some buildings in Manhattan just due to their age or other circumstances, but could be an area of improvement for the wine bar. Conversely, my friend remarked "smells like Paris," so maybe this is an authenticity issue. Regardless, the scent is not the best first impression of the bar (and you eventually get used to it). The bar is never uncomfortably packed and is perfect for someone, like me, who does not see a point in loud, uncomfortably populated bars where no one can hear anything and no one REALLY cares what they are drinking. There is plenty of standing room and some limited tables in the back, all of which make VSV a perfect, casual, "stop in for a glass of wine" type place which can be difficult to perfect. Trust your bartender on their wine selections, assuming that you've come to the French wine bar for some kind preference for French wine. They have all been knowledgeable and willing to discuss the wines with me. On the other hand, if you know your wines and what you want already, they likely have both a glass and a bottle to get your fix. For me, VSV has a bottle of Pinot Noir from Alsace (usually from Willamette Valley, Oregon or other US West Coast areas) that is terrific, and for only $54 a bottle, a steal for a bottle of good wine in NYC. Paired with a three cheese (sorry, fromage) plate, this is a perfect start to an evening. VSV has made me a repeat customer for sure and will be my casual bar choice in Flatiron unless something radically changes.

I would love to be able to give these guys their perfect score of 20/20, or 5/5 in Yelp fractions. Unfortunately, I wasn't entirely pleased: We liked the ambiance and enjoyed chatting with the manager and a newly-hired dude from Paris who was working as a server. The wines by the glass are excellent and quite varied. We had a Jurançon sec, an Anjou blanc, and a red Beaume de Venise. The food? Well, sort of meh. We shared an endive salad, which was pretty good and reasonably large. (It was served in a bowl.) The "cassolettes" are little baby-sized portions of main dishes that are reheated (microwaved?) and placed in doll-sized oven pots. I ordered the cassoulet and the poulet basquaise and couldn't even tell them apart. Was one of them actually a ratatouille? Don't follow our lead and come here for dinner; you can stop by for a glass of wine and a snack and have a good time before heading elsewhere for a substantive meal.

Honestly, really love this place. The vibe is so nice, perfectly dim and mood lighting, not too loud and a great selection of wine! Would definitely recommend!!

Love it but only early (late afternoon/early evening) or off nights when it's not too loud. It. Gets. Loud. We've had amazing wine here and the service is generally fantastic. The decor is gorge and the Motown -- perfecto

I stopped in here for after dinner drinks and dessert with friends on a Thursday evening at 7pm. The wait for a table was about 20 minutes and the bar was packed, but the hostess/waiters had us seated as soon as they could. The ambiance was warm and cozy. We split a bottle that was recommended to us by our waiter (who was French). He was very knowledgable on the menu. We also got one of each of the desserts - the chocolate cake and the warm apple pie. Both of these were delicious. I'd come back again to try the food and some other wines from the extensive list.

We ended up at the Flatiron's spot as the one in the East village doesn't carry croques and hot meals anymore. Croques were there and good, the marinières mussels were however disappointing. There was almost no broth (see the pic... no more than what was at the bottom) and the mussels were over salty. Also some items missing from the wine list

Liked the vibe, the bar, the music but service was bad 1) Sat at the bar with a colleague. We checked the menu, waited put them down, closed, push forward & then faced forward to hope for the servers attention. 20 min total 2) Asked for water... EVERY time glasses were emptied we just waited. it was clear he was never going to refill them (unless asked - service 101 shit). The last time i thought, i have a new glass of wine, let me go to the bathroom and see if my empty water is refilled by the time I'm back. Laughable 3) Now I'm just being petty lol the goat cheese crostini (chevre chaud au four) - delicious but this was actually a cheese dip with bread & crostini on the side 4) Deviled eggs were great 5) mac and cheese was maybe cheeselesss? not even at the level of olive garden or kraft, much less a nice wine bar 6) we were done with our plate of olives. They sat there for an hour. Finally i put a crumpled napkin on top... and still kindly ask "can you take these away" 15 min later Utterly disappointed by service. Too bad bc wines ($20-40 each) and selection were great

I decided to come here to celebrate my birthday this year. I was able to make a reservation which was a good idea since there are not many large tables for a group. It is a really nice space but not huge. The noise level was very high, not sure if it was due to the music being loud or just a lot of people in a small space, but I was yelling across the table. The service was very helpful and had great wine suggestions! Most of the wines I had not heard of but they all tasted great! I had the wine trio flight which is a good deal at $18. You can choose to do all white or all red. We also ordered the honey and Brie on toast which was great albeit rather small. We also had the meat and cheese platter with 3 of each. It comes with toasted bread as well. For dessert my friends surprised me with the chocolate cake on the menu, which is $9. It was certainly one of the most chocolately and rich molten chocolate cakes I've had, but it was very small. It does come with a side of wonderful thick whipped cream too. I would definitely recommend this place as great for dates or when you just want some wine and cheese or meat, not for a whole meal. They do have some salads and larger plates to choose from but it is not a full dinner menu. The kitchen itself is actually part of the bar in the front of the restaurant!

Vin Sur Vingt is an nice intimate wine bar that gets pretty busy during the evening. I stopped by yesterday around 5 with a few friends and the place was pretty empty when we arrived, but was packed to capacity when we left a few hours later. The wine menu here isn't the most extensive, but Vin Sur Vingt has a pretty solid offering of Bordeaux wine. If you're not familiar with French wines, the French really take their wine seriously, and you can be certain that no wine you order will be bad (if a vineyard isn't happy with their crop or if a winemaker isn't happy with their product, it will not be sold on the market). We ordered a $50 bottle from Saint Emillion to share and we all thought the wine was a solid wine. If you're going to stick around for a while, I recommend ordering a charcuterie board. We got the board of 3 cheese and 3 meats and it was just the right amount to share between the 3 of us with our bottle of wine. Service here was really good for having only one person running around, one person behind the bar, and one person in the kitchen. Definitely coming back if I'm in the area.

Don't you hate it when you order a well established. dish, and when something completely different arrives on your plate only to be told " it's our version?" A Club House Sandwich has three pieces of bread, is often toasted and cut in quarters. The Shrimp Club here is a brioche!

We showed up late and were grateful the kitchen was still open...until our food arrived. Whatever you do, don't order the carrots or the croque tomate or you'll end up with a small bowl of shredded carrots doused in vinegar and 3 lukewarm likely canned roasted tomatoes...all served with a side of stale baguette.

I've been looking for a good wine bar in the Flatiron area and happy to have found Vin Sur Vingt! It feels like you're stepping into a wine bar in France - the lighting, the old wine bottles adorning the walls, the big mirrors. Very charming. The bar itself is quite long - I think it fits at least 15 people. They also have a number of tables in the front and back, so you have a good chance of snagging a spot. The busiest I've seen it was on a Thursday evening around 7pm, but earlier in the week it's pretty quiet. Great selection of wine, of course. They also have specials and happy hour deals every day, including a half off bottle of rosé which is my favorite deal. =) In terms of food, I've only tried the 3 for $16 fromage, which comes with 3 pieces of cheese, a few apple slices, and a basket of bread. The bread basket comes with a few slices of baguette, plus some toasted crouton pieces. The baguette bread is good, but not a fan of the croutons - they're harder to eat and don't taste all that great. The service is always speedy and professional. Also, each time I've been there, they've brought us complimentary glasses of sparkling rosé at the end - very nice touch!

Great vibes great music great staff. Perfect place to come on any night and enjoy a glass (or glasses) of wine. Wide but not intimidating list of wines and the food looked delicious. Very lively, on a weeknight. Highly recommend
