The Loop Wine Bar · Downtown
A downtown wine program from Hachiroku's Yuta Kamori with Ungrafted Selections, in a former Orange Street storefront. CTbites' Stephanie Webster covered a list built on conscientiously farmed wines from small independent growers, heavy on the old world with a growing orange-wine portfolio, poured alongside Japanese bar snacks made with fine-dining care. Order a glass from the small-grower list with the uni toast, layered with ikura, caviar, truffle, and uni butter.
Harvest · Downtown
A below-street wine bar and restaurant beside the Yale Repertory Theatre, the fifth room from the Siguenza siblings, who also run Harvest in Greenwich and Cava in New Canaan. CTbites covered this New Haven opening in the former Scoozi space, calling out an enviable wine selection and an ample bar plus a two-course prix fixe lunch. Order a glass at the bar before or after a show next door.
Barcelona Wine Bar · Downtown
The New Haven location of a Spanish-inspired wine bar and tapas group that started in South Norwalk in 1996. CTbites covered this Temple Street spot's own happy hour: six snacks priced from a few dollars, sparkling bottles half off, and drafts from three-fifty, with the house potato chips topped with cured lomo Iberico and a pickled egg called out as a must-order. Order the lomo chips with a glass of cava.
