The Ten Bells- BK

“A late review from my visit her last year. I really enjoyed this space. My friend and I sat by the bar and the bartender was very friendly and personable. The little bites and drinks were delightful and all very affordable.”

“We just went for drinks but they were delightful! I asked for the lychee drink On the menu it had vodka in it but I can't do vodka, so I kept it exclusively gin and they were happy to accommodate! It was delicious!!! I had the Sour in Bloom first and it was also perfect. Highly recommend!”

“Such a good spot! We really enjoyed the sardines and shared an excellent bottle of wine. Oscar was the MVP of our evening, all his recs were on point, we loved it!”

“The most charming wine bar that hits all the high marks required for a perfect midweek happy hour. The atmosphere is phenomenal, with seating out in the front, in the bar, tables inside and their outdoors portion is the back, it has room for everyone. We went in for the happy hour a dollar oyster deal and it didn’t disappoint. The service was friendly and accommodating, they made a custom mocktail for sister who wanted a non alcoholic drink. I would visit again!”

“Ten Bells continues to be one of Brooklyn’s most reliable wine bars. Lively, and consistently enjoyable. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, with an impressive range available by the glass, including draft options during happy hour at genuinely reasonable prices. I especially appreciate being able to find Spanish beers on offer (a small but distinctive touch that sets it apart) The tapas menu is extensive and well-suited for sharing, and the oysters are consistently fresh and well-priced, making them an easy go-to. I’ve been coming here for several years and have yet to have a truly bad experience. Most recently, on Valentine’s Day weekend 2026, we walked in around 6:30 PM after a stroll through the park, no reservations, fully expecting a long wait. Despite a packed room and what appeared to be a slightly understaffed floor, we were seated without issue and still managed to catch happy hour. Service was understandably slower given the volume, but never inattentive or unfriendly. The energy remained warm, not chaotic. Even at full capacity, the space maintains an inviting, neighborhood feel rather than tipping into frenzy. Ten Bells isn’t about flash. It’s about good wine, solid small plates, and a dependable atmosphere. For happy hour alone, it remains one of the better values in the area and a place I’ll continue returning to.”
