Vbar&cafè - New York, New York

Peter Croce

Small place with a cozy vibe and affordable drinks. Coffee shop by day and bar by night, it has the feel of both at the same time. There are often regulars and it fills up around happy hour, when it’s sometimes hard to find a seat. The nooks by the windows are the best spots if you can get them.

Nice quaint bar in the west village of Manhattan. The service is excellent. There was a choice of several unique beers from England, Holland, and Germany. There were a good selections of wine, and if you do not drink alcohol, there is an extensive choice of coffees, juices, teas, and hot chocolate. They offer free wi-fi. Nice cozy place to hang out. The bartender ensured everyone in our group had a drink before moving on to other customers. I really was impressed with that fact. Prices are reasonable. Service was very good.

This is a cafe by day full of NYU grad students and a great spot for focused productivity (if you avoid the temptations of free WiFi). By night, it is a cozy and comfortable bar with terrific wine and beer options. Highly recommended in both settings.

VBar is a discreet cafe bar seemingly tucked away in the Village but on the inside is a cute bar which was packed with students on laptops, friends chatting and afternoon imbibers who had come to sample the wares from a short food and coffee menu and an extensive wine list that is printed on chalk boards all around the walls.
The decor is eclectic with old wine bottles and interesting statues and carvings adorning the walls and seating is at the bar and at high tables around the room.
It looked as though many of the people there had installed themselves for the afternoon and had no plans to move but then with a pleasant cozy atmosphere, great drinks options and free wifi, why would you?

I stopped into Vbar for some drinks on a nice Sunday afternoon. The place has a charming atmosphere with plenty of fun and interesting accents, and is definitely a place with that ‘local’ feeling (you know, when you feel like you’re really getting to know New York - unlike some chain or touristy place).

I just grabbed a green tea myself, but the desserts on display were certainly tempting! The barista (owner?) was very hospitable to our group and told us about the history of the place and name. One thing that stands out is the Karma Wall - buy a few drinks for your friends and share the love!

This place has been a favorite of mine for years! Free wifi during morning/afternoon hours makes it perfect for being productive while having a coffee. Later in the day, the wifi shuts off just in time to grab a drink. Tends to attract the grad student crown, rather than the undergrads, which is a plus!

Good place plenty of different types of beer and good located. But I didn't like that they already charge you on the credit card you give for the table, also they need more control because they almost give me a credit card of another person.....

Given the price of coffee, the price of wine was surprisingly high ($15 for "your cheapest pinot grigio"). Otherwise it's fine enough. Great for being able to sneak a seat in the neighborhood on a Saturday evening.
