They had me at happy hour

Yes, I would go back!

I have very few bars that I like to go back to time and time again. Lela is at the top of the list. I love the cozy environment, the friendly and knowledgeable staff and the great happy hour specials offered. The meat and cheese platters are the perfect compliment to the incredible selection of wine. I think you all get the point... I love Lela!

excellent smoked salmon and white wine

I was at lelabar a few weeks ago and they had some truly amazing smoked salmon. I had some 2008 white wine from France with it. It was fantastic. They also offer watermelon salad , which is so great when you walk in on a hot day (not too many this summer...); i can recommend to pair it with some sparkling wine.

A wine to remember

I went there with a friend to drink some wine. He promised that at this bar we can order any wine from the wine list as long as we will have two glasses. Since I love Pinot Noir, we had : Pinot Noir, Vincent Girardin, Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru, Santenay, 2003. The wine was fantastic and so was the food. For me as a wine lover it was an opportunity to drink some great wine without having to buy the whole bottle

small but super

Charming, comfortable, sophisticated small local wine bar. Red and white wines offered are truly among the best wines from all over the world. Also need to be noted that they offer many varieties of beers. My favorite is the Belgium beer. You can pair the drinks with really nicely prepared fresh cold cuts and cheeses or sandwiches. Can't wait to go back with some friends.

I came on a Thursday night for Happy Hours. They had very good wines on the happy hour menu. Also some pressed sandwiches which were very tasty. Later on the place got a little crowded but we had an excellent time. It was really worth to try out this place. We'll come back.

not only great wines, but great beer too

A bar with excellent wine and great craft beer. Finally I was able convince my husband, who is not a wine fan, to come to a wine bar. We loved the oysters, which they offer only Wednesdays and Saturdays. Glad we stumbled in on a Wednesday night. We both had a great time at Lelabar. The place has a great atmosphere too.

elegant wine bar that you can afford

Yes, I would go back!

in NYC it's not easy to find an elegant, classy winebar which offers good prices. At Lelabar i was pleasantly surprised with the service, excellent wines (i really liked a french merlot) and the food. I can recommend the blood sausage- it's great. Music was also pleasant. Overally it is definitely a 10.

Oysters Oysters and more Oysters ............that what happens when the oysters are $1 each (kidding you not). We came last night for a glass of wine and we ended up with an oysters feast. What a great place. Cool music and great wine list. They said that they serve oysters every Wednesday and Saturday. We are going back!!!

If you are in NYC make sure to check out this great great wine bar. I am from CA and was visiting my sister, who took me to her favoite place-Lelabar. We had such a great time! The wine was really tasty even for me (being from CA with lots of great wines there). i also recommend to try the cold cuts and cheeses. Very tasty and compliments your glass of wine.
