A nice little gem on Bleeker Street
by socialbuttafly

I really liked this place. They had a great selection of wines, and the crowd was very unpretentious. The "hidden" room in the back was a nice surprise. Will definitely go back again.
- Pros: Great atmosphere, lots of chill space
- Cons: Can't think of any
One of the better wine bars

This is a very inviting, calm, unpretentious place. It has a cool ambience with great wine and drinks. Owner and bar staff are congenial - it is a very inviting place to be.
Chill Bar, Cute Doggy

Very relaxed atmosphere with decent wine list. Definitely a big departure from Manahatta across the street.
- Pros: Knowledgeable bartender, dog friendly
- Cons: can be hard to get drinks when it's packed
My 2nd Favorite Bar

Von is a gem. It would be my first favorite if it were 3 blocks closer to my apartment. Cervantes, Kareem and Luis are my favorites and Happy the pitbull always makes me smile.
And who else has Chimay on tap?!
- Pros: Everything! Atmosphere, Service, Beer / Wine Selection... PERFECT
- Cons: Can't think of a one. Oh - gets a bit busier than I'd like on weekends, but everywhere downtown does.

This is my favorite bar in the neighborhood. Fun regulars, nice atmosphere, plenty of room, and absolutely no pretension. I can't go here without getting stuck for hours.
Fine European beers and select wines by the glass served up with rumpled charm.

No matter that Von now has a full liquor license, with its fine Eurobrews, extensive wine list and nice selection of wines by the glass it's still a beer and wine bar in spirit. Plank floors and benches, candlelight and threadbare sofas give the place a frayed romanticism that perfectly offsets the unmistakable element of hipster cool. After-work drinks through after-hours rounds provide just enough of "scene" without sacrificing the homey feel.
Worth a Visit

Von's a great spot to visit with a group of friends or alone. They have a (great) limited selection of beer and the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. And it's not a "too-trendy" scene.
- Pros: atmosphere, crowd
- Cons: single bathroom
great wine & liquor too!

They make liquor drinks now, too. It's not just beer and wine anymore. And i must say the mojitos are delicious!!! It's an awesome place to meet for a quick drink, or to spend the whole night.
Double your Pleasure

The great thing about Von is that you can opt in or out of the scene. Sure, it's cruising territory, but I've seen people come in and peacefully read a book unmolested. You don't get attention here that you don't want, and there are plenty of folks just stopping in on their evening dogwalk or to enjoy a casual glass of wine with friends.
a laid back scene

As other reviewers have noted, this semi-swank beer and wine bar does attract a cruising crowd--but it's also laid back, dog-friendly and not usually that crowded. Try the back room for a seat.
