Divine Bar is a funky, eclectic, "downtown chic" bar serving wine and tapas. This lounge 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 and plush velvet couches. The ultra-contemporary Divine Bar West combines ruby red lighting, orange walls, zebra barstools, jewel-toned seating, and a large rooftop dining terrace (where, weather permitting, a smoking area is available.)

In Short – Outside, a balcony aches with the weight of grapes. Inside the decor is a dark and welcoming orange with terracotta tiles, a giant fireplace, sleek bar lamps (each a lone grape) and everything you'd expect from an elegant villa in midtown. An arched doorway leads to a second, darker room where restaurant diners retire from the vat of churning revelers. The wines are served from elaborate refrigerated pumping contraptions, painted with zebra stripes.

Food so Oily It Shines
by DelectablelYours at Citysearch
Last night a friend was in town and wanted to go to a cozy wine bar, so naturally, I thought of...Divine. I was always a fan of the one on the east side and thought the one one on the west side had to be good. The flights were great and the atmosphere is cozy and comfy, but the Tapas were horrible. Everything we ordered was filled with grease and fried or doused in some heavy sauce. The olive plate was the most oily of all. I'd go again for drinks, but if you plan on steering clear of heart disease I'd eat somewhere else. Wine selection was great and not expensive!

Great for after work!

Great place to grab a drink and some food after work with the coworkers.
CareerBuilder's hosting an "UnHappy Hour" there next week on the Wednesday and Thursday after Superbowl.
There will be free appetizers for an hour around 6pm or so
Great timing, amazing food? Sounds like a good time!
