Bar Heretic

Associated with the DeKalb Collective, this Fort Greene spot features thoughtfully designed interiors and an intimate atmosphere ideal for quiet dates or low-key catch-ups. Beyond a strong curation of natural wines, Champagne, and seasonal mulled wine, the bar offers a rotating, vegetarian-friendly menu of small plates. Standouts include chickpea fritters, charcuterie, and lamb with sorana beans, alongside fresh focaccia and house-baked sourdough loaves that you can buy to go. For dessert, the sourdough chocolate chip cookies and chocolate pudding with brioche shortbread are local favorites. In warmer weather, the outdoor patio provides a welcoming space to unwind.
