Bar Henry

90 West Houston
Cellar
New York, NY 10012

Welcome to Bar Henry Bistro, we're fond of wine here. We're partial to the balance and restraint of old world wines, and we also enjoy the ripe robustness of new world wines.
We offer wines that are ready to drink. This means older wines that are made to age and younger wines made to be drunk young. You'll find a mix of classic and unusual wines that are ready to drink young in our "Market" section. There's also a collection of classic, mature wines from France, Italy, Germany and the United States in our "Reserve" section.
We would like our guests to try many wines. Bar Henry guests may order half of any bottle in the "Market" section. That goes for half and full bottles, adding about one hundred choices to the wines offered by the glass.
Enjoy our wine list and our delicious New York Bistro fare, and have a great time.

"The food at Bar Henry was great. The ambiance was amazing. This is a great date place. There is live jazz music on certain nights of the week so call in advance if you want to hear live music while eating good food."

"Went for date night this week to try a new place in the neighborhood. While everyone was lovely, the restaurant was understaffed and the service was very, very slow. I would recommend checking the place out on a week night to avoid the same experience. Also, I think Bar Henry needs to decide what it wants to be when it grows up. While it bills itself as a wine bar, it seems to be set up as a restaurant. For a wine bar, the selection skewed toward the very expensive. Which is fine until you consider the menu, which falls short of providing options for a full dinner. I'm not sure there are many people looking to spend $200 for a bottle of wine and then pair it with a burger, however tasty it may be."

"A wine bar with a few small plates. With two glasses of wine we tried the oysters and the mousse while sitting in an empty, chilly dining area, so I don't think our experience was typical. Both dishes we tried were very good."
