Lovebirds Wine Bar + Bistro

Give us a glass of wine in a cozy bar called Lovebirds, and we expect to fall in love immediately, or at least have a really great date. This Greenpoint wine bar across from McGolrick Park does their best to make that happen. Stills of iconic couples grace the walls, and if Lucy and Ricardo, or Katie and Hubble don’t inspire your own meet-cute story, it wasn’t meant to be. They’ve got a great wine list, a few small plates, and there’s always dessert, like their fantastic poppyseed cheesecake. But they don’t overdo the romance, and you can just as easily meet up with a friend here during the day, when they serve wine and coffee but no food. If you want bottles of your own, visit Lovebirds’ separate wine store in Bushwick.
