Master Sommelier Laura Maniec of Corkbuzz Wine Studio in Union Square has curated an ideal meeting place for spectacular wines and outstanding eats at Corkbuzz Wine Bar Chelsea Market.
Teaming up with two-time Michelin star Chef Missy Robbins, this intimate wine bar is inspired by a European style outdoor market vibe where people gather together for a casual glass of wine and some light bites.
At Corkbuzz, women really pave the way both behind the scenes and at the front end. Aside from Laura and Missy leading the charge – the team that helped put this together from design (Stephanie Goto) to construction, were women. A HUGE shoutout to our wonderful hostess Rachael Wilson, the Communications Director, who guided us through our afternoon of indulgence.
Corkbuzz Wine Bar aims to provide that ultimate space where all kinds of people with an interest in wine (from novice to expert) can come together to share this passion whilst sampling a glass or a bottle or two! The wine menu offers about 150 bottles of some of Maniec’s favorites as well as signature picks from top sommeliers.
Fantastic space to relax over a vino to escape the hectic Chelsea market. There is an extensive wine list and I recommend taking advantage of Happy Hour especially the half price Champagne bottle on weekends and after 9pm weekdays. The staff are knowledgable and ever helpful. There's also a nice selection of cheeses to choose from to complement your champers.
We nearly passed by this spot in Chelsea Market. Didn't try the bar bites, but had some wines by the glass. Priced well, it's a nice cosy spot for some relaxed moments with your friends.
Great find!. We made a reservation since we were a party of 5 on a Friday night, but we didn't need one--not much for a lively atmosphere, but it was early evening as we were trying to eat dinner before a show at the Highline Ballroom. The food and service were excellent. The waitress knew all the wines, drinks and the menu very well. We even spilled and broke a wine glass and they were incredibly cool about it and just moved us down one table while someone cleaned up our disaster area!
This restaurant is located deep within Chelsea Market, so if you're looking for natural sunlight or to people watch passersby this is not your place. If you want incredibly tasty small plates and excellent service then come here!
We would have eaten dessert, but I had a hankering for some kind of artisan cupcakes or macaroons and we found The Doughnuttery within Chelsea Market. It was SO good.
