The World's Top 59 Wine Bars
-
Rank 1. The Four Horsemen
Natural Wine Bar
A Michelin-starred natural wine bar that somehow makes you feel cooler just for getting a table. The menu chases the seasons wherever they lead, which means it's constantly surprising and rarely predictable. The room is small, the wait is real, and everyone in there knows it's worth it. Regulars look like they own records you've never heard of. Book ahead or prepare to hover hopefully near the door.

Rank 2. Bad Idea
Wine Bar
A wine bar built inside a converted church in East Nashville, which sounds like either a brilliant idea or exactly the kind of thing you'd call a bad one. The sprawling sanctuary now holds a massive central bar, a cellar with over a hundred bottles, and enough seating that you can actually bring the whole crew. The food is snacky and fun, the crowd is loud and happy about it, and the vibe makes the name feel like a joke everyone's already in on.

Rank 3. PLONK
Mexican Wine Bar
A natural wine bar in La Condesa where the kitchen blurs Mexican and Asian flavors in ways that actually make sense together. Snag a seat outside if you can, where the patio wraps around a living tree like the neighborhood just grew furniture. Inside it's candlelit and cozy, full of people on dates they're hoping go well. The Bib Gourmand-recognized menu is built for sharing, and the wine list rewards the curious.

Rank 5. Reveler's Hour
Italian
Cozy Adams Morgan wine bar and pasta spot that feels like a date night even when you're just catching up with a friend. The housemade pasta is the reason to come, the natural wine list is the reason to stay, and the sommelier owner will talk you into a bottle you've never heard of and will immediately want a case of. Snug tables, arched ceilings, and a crowd dressed just well enough to feel like they tried.

Rank 5. Valley
Wine bar
A Bib Gourmand wine bar on the Sonoma Plaza that somehow manages to be genuinely laid-back about the whole wine thing, which in wine country is practically a superpower. The list leans organic and biodynamic, adventurous without being intimidating, and the small rotating food menu holds its own. Locals in flannel and couples doing a long weekend fill the room. Everything's meant to be shared, and the vibe is very much stay a while.

Rank 8. Chambers
Wine Bar
Tribeca wine bar with a serious cellar and zero pretension about it. The sommelier here holds a Master Sommelier certificate, which means the wine list goes places most bars never bother with, at prices that won't make you do the mental math twice. The kitchen runs small and large plates that change with the season. The crowd leans creative-professional, the lighting is good, and nobody's in a rush.

Rank 8. Lei
Wine Bar
A tiny wine bar on one of Chinatown's most atmospheric streets, Lei packs in rare bottles floor to ceiling and somehow also runs a serious kitchen turning out modern Chinese food. The crowd sits elbow to elbow, occasionally spilling into the alley, looking like people who stumbled onto something they're not sure they should tell anyone about. It's that kind of place.

Rank 10. Place des Fêtes
Spanish Wine Bar
Most wine bars hand you a bowl of popcorn and call it a night. Place des Fêtes, from the team behind Oxalis, actually cooks, and cooks well. It's a cozy Clinton Hill wine bar where the food and the pours both lean Spanish, natural wines from small producers alongside simple seafood and grilled toast. The crowd fills every seat fast, so show up early or embrace the wait with a glass in hand.

Rank 11. Kid Sister
Wine Bar
A neighborhood wine bar on Seventh Street that actually feels like somewhere you'd want to hang out, not just somewhere you'd end up. The menu of small bites and pours changes often, which keeps the regulars coming back and gives first-timers a reason to return. Desert-toned walls, a crowd that ordered without overthinking it, and spritzes that justify the trip on their own.

Rank 11. Madeira Park
Wine Bar
Poncey-Highland's favorite neighborhood wine bar leans hard into the Madeira, with an eclectic list deep enough to keep even the wine-obsessed occupied for a while. The kitchen, though, refuses to be the sidekick, turning out shareable seasonal plates that hold their own. Inside it's moody and close; outside it's buzzy and people-watching gold. The crowd looks like they came for a glass and decided to stay for dinner, which is exactly what happens.

Rank 13. Leo's House Of Thirst
Wine Bar
Leo's House of Thirst is a wine bar that actually feels like someone's living room, in the best way. Books, plants, bottles on shelves, a little patio out back. The crowd is the kind of people who bring their own tote bags and know what natural wine is but won't lecture you about it. Come morning for coffee and a breakfast sandwich, come evening for oysters and a glass of something good. It works at any hour, which is rarer than it should be.

Rank 13. Sunday Vinyl
Wine Bar
A wine bar that actually has a personality, Sunday Vinyl pairs serious pours with a rotating vinyl soundtrack, and the whole room feels like a dinner party someone threw in a really good mood. The crowd skews knowledgeable but not stuffy, the kind of people who are happy to drink something unexpected if you sell it right. The Wednesday flight nights, where wine gets matched to a specific artist's catalog, are genuinely clever and worth planning around.

Rank 15. Ha's Snack Bar
Wine Bar
A tiny wine bar on the Lower East Side where snacks are the whole point and nobody's pretending otherwise. The vibe drifts between France and Vietnam without committing to either, which somehow works perfectly. Most nights you're perched on a stool with a glass of something interesting and a plate of toast, possibly the only toast in the city worth being excited about. Come hungry but not starving, and come ready to improvise.

Rank 17. Vin Folk
Wine Bar
Vin Folk is a neighborhood wine bistro that somehow threads the needle between chill and actually good, which is harder than it sounds in a beach town. The globally minded small plates draw a regulars-who-know crowd and the occasional sandy flip-flop crew alike. It earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, so the food punches above its price. Grab a reservation, because people around here figured this one out fast.

Rank 19. Snail Bar
Natural Wine Bar
Snail Bar looks like a natural wine bar for people who own at least one tote bag, and it is, but the cooking punches way above that premise. The chef has serious fine-dining credentials and it shows in every small plate that comes out of the kitchen. The menu shifts constantly, the snails are always on, and the room stays packed with regulars who know exactly what they're doing. Bib Gourmand, if that seals it for you.
-
Rank 19. Sami & Susu
Mediterranean Wine Bar
Sami & Susu is a tiny wine bar on Orchard Street that has a way of turning first-timers into regulars before they've finished their second glass. The kitchen somehow turns out bright, Middle Eastern-leaning food without a real gas stove, which feels like a flex. The crowd is downtown-casual and clearly in no hurry to leave, and the staff will actively encourage you to order more than you planned. Bib Gourmand, for what it's worth.

Rank 27. Ruffian
Natural Wine Bar
A natural wine bar on the Lower East Side where the sommeliers are genuinely obsessed with Eastern Europe and it shows, both in the glass and on the small, rotating food menu. Half the room is communal high-tops, half is a cozy little dining room, and the crowd skews toward people who already know what they want without asking. It has a Bib Gourmand, so the value holds up too. Book ahead.
-
Rank 27. Annette bar à vin
Modern Wine Bar
A Bib Gourmand wine bar on a redeveloped industrial site in east Montreal, Annette earns its reputation through a wine list that genuinely knows what it's doing, with serious bottles alongside approachable pours and a solid by-the-glass selection. The seasonal small plates are built for sharing and good enough that you'll forget they were technically an afterthought. Think natural-wine crowd in relaxed fits, splitting plates and lingering longer than planned.
-
Rank 27. Boro6 Wine Bar
Wine Bar
Boro6 is the kind of intimate wine bar that makes you wonder why you ever bother with the city. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the food earns it, with a tight, considered menu that punches well above its weight. The marble bar is the move, where you can watch the kitchen do its thing while a genuinely knowledgeable server steers you toward something you didn't know you needed. Grown-up crowd, soft jazz, no attitude.
-
Rank 27. POP Wine Bar
Natural Wine Bar
POP is a wine bar doing its best impression of a Parisian boîte, which is a sentence you don't expect to write about Saskatoon. Oysters, caviar, artisanal cheese, and a wine list built around small producers doing weird and wonderful things with natural wines. The cocktails hold their own too, from properly cold Martinis to milk punches. It made Canada's 100 Best Bars list, and honestly that tracks.
-
Rank 27. Daróg Wine Bar
Wine Bar
A tiny wine bar on Dominick Street where the enthusiasm for natural and biodynamic wine borders on contagious. The list leans toward small artisan producers you've probably never heard of, which is exactly the point. Sharing plates keep things grounded and genuinely good value. Local artwork covers the walls and is actually for sale, so the regulars occasionally leave with something under their arm besides a wine recommendation.

Rank 34. Le Vin Papillon
Natural Wine Bar
Le Vin Papillon is the wine bar next door to Joe Beef, which tells you everything you need to know about the crowd and their standards. Little Burgundy regulars and natural wine converts pack in for small plates built around whatever's inspiring the kitchen that week and a list devoted entirely to biodynamic and natural wines. It's convivial and genuinely fun, the kind of place where sharing food isn't a concept, it's just what happens.
-
Rank 35. APT 115
Wine Bar
Tucked into a residential building on East 7th, APT 115 is a genuinely intimate wine bar where the list reads like someone's obsessive personal cellar, heavy on small producers and interesting finds from both sides of the Atlantic. You can drop in for a glass and a charcuterie board, or commit to the full tasting menu if you're feeling it. Candlelit couples and quiet regulars who know their natural wine fill the small room.
-
Rank 35. Bar Gobo
Natural Wine Bar
A tiny, no-frills natural wine bar on Union Street that turns out to be quietly impressive once you're inside. The pours are all from the kind of producers wine people get weirdly excited about, but the staff keeps things genuinely welcoming rather than precious. The real twist is the cooking, a tight prix fixe coming out of a kitchenette barely bigger than a closet, with real technique and local, seasonal ingredients. Bring someone you like talking to.
-
Rank 35. Henry's Restaurant
Wine Bar
Henry's is a wine bar on Queen West that's doing the genre properly, with a retail shop next door in case you fall for something in your glass. The food is deliberately cuisine-agnostic, which sounds like a cop-out until you realize every dish actually lands. The crowd skews creative-class and linen-casual, the kind of people who know their natural wines but won't bore you about it. Save room for dessert, seriously.
-
Rank 35. The Wood Owl
Wine Bar
A tiny, wood-lined wine bar on the Danforth that actually gets out of its own way. No fuss, no theater, just a short menu that punches well above its size and a room that feels like someone's very well-curated living room. The crowd tends toward regulars who know the weekly beef special is worth the trip. Vegetables get more respect here than at most places calling themselves restaurants, which tells you a lot about the kitchen's priorities.
-
Rank 35. Farra
Wine Bar
Farra is a sleek wine bar on Worth Street that leans hard into the kind of cooking that makes you want to linger over a second bottle. The team shares a wine cellar with the fine-dining spot next door, and it shows, both in the pours and the hospitality. The crowd is mostly people who found it by accident and immediately told everyone they know, which is the surest sign a place has figured something out.

Champagne Wine Bar
A Champagne bar tucked into a Highland Park strip mall, which sounds like a punchline until you're inside surrounded by gold fixtures, pink drapes, and a U-shaped bar full of people who look like they just came from a very successful lunch. The bubbly selection leans heavily French, but Texas wines make an appearance too, and the cocktail list gives non-Champagne people a graceful way in.

The bar staff are genuinely chatty and will walk you through a flight without making you feel like a student.

The room feels like someone's very cool living room.
