Cocktail BarDate night

Stars is a 12-seat wine bar tucked into the East Village, built around an obsessive selection of bottles and close-up hospitality.

The room’s intimacy and attention to detail make it a destination for both curious oenophiles and anyone craving a memorable, slow-paced night out.

What to Order

Curated 3-Wine Flight

A rotating trio chosen by the bartender to showcase a theme — think natural orange, youthful Gamay, and an ageworthy Bordeaux — served with tasting notes.

House-Cured Sardines on Toast

Salt-cured sardines, lemon oil, and pickled fennel on charred country toast — vivid, briny bites made for wine.

Warm Marinated Olives & Comté

Cast-iron warmed olives tossed with herbs and a wedge of nutty Comté for spoonable richness between sips.
