Super fun place to grab a glass of wine or a beer. The small bites are good. I do wish they had a few more options but what they have is pretty good. Drink list is pretty extensive. The staff is friendly and make you feel welcomed as a local.
Seating is comfortable but a little tight. Come in, grab your seat, then order from the bar. Easy relaxed layer back spot for happy hour drinks!

What a wonderful place! Vanguard harkens back days of old when we were all cool and fabulous. Isabel is a true delight. She carefully guides you through the wine list with love and care. Her li’l sidekick, Jacob, ain’t so little and he will make your night better in every way.

What a place! Went there with my two lady friends 😏 and we stayed for 4 hours. It. Was a great atmosphere, the staff was overly friendly, the selection and food are top notch. Even if you go here for one drink, you won't regret it.

This place has a vast selection of wines. Their cheese plates are delicious and the staff is quite attentive. I have seen people sit and do work here which means that's it provides an environment for such, despite it being a wine bar. There are tables for about 4 people, but you can also sit by the best counter. The street/avenue itself is quiet too, which is a plus.

The impressively curated, slightly short wine list pairs wonderfully with the light plates from the kitchen. Superb ambiance, perfect for a date or catching up with an old friend. Classic movies playing on the tv (Holiday Affair) was a nice touch.

Really cool bar, good wine, not overcrowded and laid back atmosphere. There aren’t a lot of these in the neighborhood!

Had a terrific experience here with the knowledgeable bartenders and cozy setting. Tasted some wines before finally selecting one and I really enjoyed it. The bartender stayed and talked with me about the finer points of my options before letting me choose. He was informative and nonjudgmental. I look forward to returning.

No place like it on the Upper West Side. Knowledgable bartenders, great wine.
