What People Are Saying About Divine Bar
The Owner
Divine Bar
Owner
A funky, eclectic, "downtown chic" wine & tapas lounge that offers two duplex locations in Manhattan.
Divine Bar East offers a striking retro-modern "Alice-In-Wonderland" townhouse setting with brick walls, vintage posters, cobalt blue lighting, fireplaces, sleek polished steel accents, & plush velvet couches. The ultra-contemporary Divine Bar West combines ruby red lighting, orange walls, zebra barstools, jewel-toned seating, & a large rooftop dining terrace (where, weather permitting, a smoking area is available.) Arguably, they are two of the most unique spaces in the city!
Complementing the wondrous decor is an extensive menu of 65 wines by the glass or taste, 50 international beers, mouth-watering tapas, fromagerie & dessert menus, & an inventive selection of "Divine West Specialty Martinis" such as Mr. Pink and the Platinum Cosmo.

How about a flight of California chardonnays to leave the day behind? This midtown tapas bar brings the wine-tasting experience to a boisterous after-work crowd. The restaurant, which holds a roomy chrome bar downstairs, sprawls over two floors plus a roof deck. The quieter upstairs area, filled with plush velvet couches, serves a huge selection of fancy appetizers. In addition to over 60 wines and mix-and-match flights, there's also an adventurous selection of microbrews and imports. Each item on the food menu comes with a wine recommendation--but paired or not, the little dishes are delicious.

I discovered this place about 4 years ago and I still love it. We live 2 blocks from there and I find myself visiting every few months when we're in the mood just to sit and have some wine. The atmosphere is wanna-be trendy, but different than most of the other bars in the midtown. They have great tapas - I love the muscles, goat cheese bruschetta, and the bag-o-donuts. There is a seating area upstairs and I think it's a nice place to bring a date.

I just happened upon this great treasure! Nancy, the manager, gave us a warm welcome 5 years ago and every time I go to NY, I go there just because of her and her excellent service and knowledge! The drinks are fabulous, the tapas are wonderful, the atmosphere is eclectic! I would highly recommend this wonderful place for everyone!

A favorite of ours for after work release. We enjoy the bar on any given day of the week. We do sit and enjoy the company of the bartender along with a great cocktail and we order a few snacks. The place is great and the prices are average.
