West Village, New York –
Specializing in biodynamic and organic wines made by female vintners from around the globe, Aria offers a new perspective on the traditional wine bar.
Chic and rustic, the charming single-room space features exposed brick, raftered ceilings, and a white subway-tile bar where a female-heavy crowd of local professionals and affluent downtowners gathers to sip wine and make eyes at the preppy guys across the room.
Small front tables offer a bit more privacy for double dates getting cozy and foodies hunched over their Venetian appetizers, while flirty singles opt for the communal butcher-block table where face-to-face conversation flows more easily.
A wall-size chalkboard lists specialty cocktails and available vintages patrons can pair with their small plates of anchovies and marinated olives.
Usually packed by 9:30pm with chatty dinner dates and wine connoisseurs, Aria is a laid-back gem perfect for a sophisticated night out or a low-key start to a long evening.
Sophisticated West Village locals, affluent professionals, foodies, couples on dates, and many after-work women, late 20s to 40s.
Ambient contemporary indie pop.
Menu of Venetian cicchetti (appetizers) including cheese and charcuterie plates, mini-meatballs, and vegetarian lasagna.
Cheese/charcuterie plates $4–$5, hot plates $9. Beer $6+, wine $5–$10/glass or $35–$50/bottle, cocktails $12+, mixed drinks $10+, shots $10+.
Dressy to nice casual: women in designer dresses, suits, or jeans and heels, and men in classic preppy looks.
Good vibe every night, though excellent as a Saturday night launching pad for nibbles and pre-game drinks.
The Other Room (143 Perry Street) is a darker, sultrier bar for those looking for a chattier singles scene.
