"Lovely wine bar in the village. We went here for post-dinner drinks and really enjoyed the spot. Energetic crowd, great service, and good food whether you’re in the mood for a meal or snack. Wine selection isnt the cheapest for NYC, but the selection is also good, so you get what you pay for. We walked in but would recommend a reservation"

"Brian at the bar was awesome. Super nice gave a great recommendation on a red that was super reasonably priced. And the food was awesome. Really big call out to John the Chef who designed one of the best most complete pit beef sandwiches I've ever had. People were looking over at us after the obnoxiously loud reaction we had when we tasted that thing. It was incredible. Vibe is quiet and welcoming. It's a great spot"

"Temperance Bar feels like my little secret spot. 🥂 The wine list is perfection (and I’m pretty picky 😂). Their Brut Nature is my absolute favorite — I come back for it every time. I recently tried the mussels and OMG… total foodgasm! The service is exceptional, and Brian always makes you feel like a VIP. Can’t recommend it enough!"

"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!"

"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."
