What People Are Saying About Turks & Frogs
Featured Review

The Scene – This cozy Turkish antique shop turned wine bar sits off a quiet side street in the West Village. Though its red and green interior isn't polished to perfection, its charm makes up for any oddities (such as the indoor faux wall with windows). An added twist: Most of the urns and antiques on display are for sale--just ask. – – The Draw – Couples and small groups of friends begin filling the tables as night falls, but the most interesting seat is at the bar, where patrons can sample any of the seven Turkish wines (or 60 more traditional reds and whites), and…
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- For a red that bursts with berry flavor, try Chateau Potelle's zinfandel. White drinkers looking for a new Turkish favorite should try the light, fragarent Cankaya from Kavaklidere. The bar also sells the most popular beer in Turkey, Efes.

Graet date spot

I went here on a first date recently and had a great time. The ambiance was intimate and good for conversation. We drank some wine and time flew by. The staff was friendly and available when needed. Highly recommended.
- Pros: Ambiance, Service
Pros and Cons
by partyreview at Citysearch
Pros: Nice venue, good wine, very cosy, looks like a great date place
Cons: Rude service, slow service
Event: I was part of a group that did drinks at Turks & Frogs several nights ago. The first group (3) had a few drinks and the second (3) joined us later. We both had seperate checks. We drank at the bar. The bartender got into an argument with the other group when they tried to pay their check because he insisted on a bigger tip. Now if I don't call that rude/bad service I don't know what is. Also, very very very slow service in ordering food.
Small and intimate, great wine selection, but don't come hungry

It's a sliver of a place in the West Village. Food consists of small plates of appetizers and a few sandwiches. It's the wine list that shines. I discovered a couple great Turkish white wines I never new existed. At an average of $10 for half a glass, the night will probably not be cheap, but you will learn... and taste something new. The harried staff of two (one Turk, one Frog?) manage the place in a brisk, but friendly way. It's crowded, but if you find a table you can have a cozy, even intimate, time. --Drink Club NYC is a roving group of NYC drinkers
- Pros: great wine selection, quiet, intimate
- Cons: small, staff overworked
Love Turks & Frogs!

Turks & Frogs is a really cozy, neighborhood lounge and wine bar in the West Village. Very nice selection of wines and tasty finger foods. There is a really nice vibe here and although I went with a friend, it would also be great for a date. Highly Recommended
