East Village Wine Bar Built Around Original Wine Flights
Wine flights and small plates at an East Village wine bar with knowledgeable staff and a 3 PM start on weekends.
🍷 Flights and Small Plates
Rake Wine Bar is an East Village wine bar where wine flights lead the evening. The original selection gives the glass somewhere new to go, and knowledgeable staff keep the cozy room warm and welcoming, backed by a 4.8 rating across 88 reviews.
Small plates come alongside the pours, and they can stay at a few bites or stretch into a complete dinner. That flexibility lets a flight set the pace, with food added as the evening unfolds and prices staying mid-priced.
Look for 45 1st Avenue, Space B, with the entrance around the corner on E 3rd Street. Rake is closed Monday, opens Tuesday and Wednesday from 5 PM to 10 PM and Thursday from 5 PM to 11 PM, then starts pouring at 3 PM Friday through Sunday, staying open until 11 PM Friday and Saturday and 10 PM Sunday.
