Barrel 33
Barrel 33 is a wine and beer bar in the Village that looks like you're drinking cab sauv inside a literal barrel. It's also the place to go when you don't want to drink at a loud dive bar or need to kill some time before dinner perusing a carefully curated wine flight. The wine selection is long (the bartenders are real wine people and help you pick the right bottle), and the craft beer selection frequently rotates. There are also snacky things to eat, like flatbreads topped with prosciutto and giant Bavarian pretzels if you want to ditch dinner and keep drinking until 8pm. Yes, they close early for a bar.
