Bar56 is located right next to the Brooklyn Bridge! It's a hidden gem of a wine bar, perhaps due to its proximity to such a famous tourist attraction 🍷✨
Head chef Vincent Cortese, at Bar56, reimagines seasonal cuisine with influences from Italy and France, perfectly complementing the wines.
The wine menu boasts 56 varieties, grouped not by grape variety or geographic region, but by the wine's characteristics, cleverly categorized under the Palate Character system, which is intuitive and insightful!
For instance, white wines are classified into Bright & Crisp, Balance & Finesse, and Rich & Full categories :)
Furthermore, each item on the menu is color-coded to indicate which wine pairs best with it, making it easier for those less familiar with wines to choose!
If you wish to purchase the wine you enjoyed at Bar56, you can do so right next door at Taste56 :)
🐝Pro tip:
Don't miss out on the deliciously sweet and savory Raviolo Al Uovo - it's a must-try :)
And if you're torn between which bottle of wine to order, don't hesitate to ask your waiter for a tasting to help you decide!
