Service was attentive but not intruding, excellent check-in pacing. The fries were top tier which is surprising from a wine bar, a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere is buzzy, but a little loud for casual conversation. The selection is expansive and the server guided me through it well and I discovered a couple of wines I may not have otherwise. Cheers!

Temperance Wine Bar is a true gem! This enchanting spot boasts an incredible, well-curated wine list that caters to every palate. With a focus on natural wines, organic options, and contemporary flavors, there's something for everyone to discover. The food is equally impressive, with tasty small plates that perfectly complement the extensive wine selection. The ambiance is cool and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a night out with friends or a romantic evening. What truly sets Temperance apart, however, is the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their expertise and passion for wine are evident, and they're always happy to guide you through the menu. Highly recommended for wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike! Temperance Wine Bar is an absolute must-visit destination.

Friend and I caught the tail end of happy hour on a Thursday. Our waitress was fantastic and helped tremendously with wine selection. We gave her a few flavor profiles we were both interested in and she came back with two amazing options. We ended up splitting a bottle. Unfortunately I cannot remember what it was, but it was delicious and I don’t have a hangover :). We also split the steak tartare and this was some of the best I’ve had!!! I wanted to order 5 more plates. Such a good spot for a chill night with good eats and drinks. Would love to come in and read a book for a few hours here or come do a wine tasting event.

Temperance is one of my absolute favorite wine bars in the city, and I've been multiple times for drinks, dinner, and their private event wine tastings. The food, service, and ambiance are always so nice. I recently hosted a dinner party in their private dining area and it was a great experience. They include unlimited wine along with selections of food family style, and the team was so friendly, explaining the different wine types and always making sure our glasses were topped up. Highly recommend!

Had a great time here! Very cute space with a great selection of drinks food, I loved the variety. Our waitress (I think Morgan) was also so kind and friendly and was able to recommend me a wine that I really enjoyed! Will def be coming back!!

the vibes are SO GOOD. there’s a good amount of bar and table seating. awesome wine selection and they let you taste a little before you commit to a glass. def want to be back

Visited on a trip to NY recently and had an awesome time. The wine list is one of the most eclectic and fun I’ve ever seen at a wine bar. The vibe was lively and welcoming. Will be my new “must stop at” place in NY.

Temperance is a great find. We planned a visit to a nearby vegan pizza place and strolled a few minutes to check out its wine selection. Nestled amongst a throng of casual dining outlets, it delights as soon as you enter. There's a lot more space than you expect in NYC, with a comfortable mix a booths, tables, and bar seating. The wine list is amazing. Our wine server new her stuff, listened to our preferences and delivered a selection of 4 amazing glasses. Every wine was spectacular, often breaking the stereotype for wines from their region to overdeliver on complexity and elegance (my preferred styles). Service was great. We were very happy. I'd recommend following the Temperance suggestions at the beginning of the wine list. Try them! You won't be disappointed.
