a natural wine bar in williamsburg for hangouts anddd hangovers

if you’re looking for a natural wine bar in williamsburg and somehow haven’t found baba yet, that’s crazy.

we're the spot with black and white stripes you keep saying you gotta try

we’re the little bar à vin tucked between kellogg’s diner and mccarren park where you’ll find marseille-inspired plates, cozy corners inside, a bangin' backyard and an ever-changing lineup of wines that don’t take themselves too seriously — just like us.

a list of wines worth staying a while for

let’s start with the good stuff: the wine list.

baba’s got natural wines by the glass, carafe, or bottle — for sipping solo or with friends who love wine and love sharing.

we rotate open bottles regularly, so if you’re lucky, yesterday’s wine might just be your happiest glass.

here’s a taste of the natural wines that will fill your glass or carafe if you're tryna go that hard on a wednesday:

sparkling wines

flora prosecco (col di luna, italy) — light, crisp, and just enough fizz
preambule pet nat (emmanuel haget, loire valley) — chenin blanc that’s bright and citrusy with just a little funk
san lurinz hydra pet-nat (kabaj, slovenia) — a malvasia blend that hits floral and honey notes without being sweet
frei. körper.kultur fizz (weingut schmitt, germany) — playful bubbles that’ll convince anyone natural wine is the move

white wines

sauv blanc (gaspard, loire valley) — classic sauvignon blanc: green apple, minerals, and summer afternoon energy
finca tresolmos (garciarevalo, spain) — verdelho with a little texture. pairs well with small plates and good conversations

orange wines

orange lake county (where’s linus?, california) — viognier that’s bright, funky, and great for dates when you’re trying to impress
poc a poc (barbichette, seneca lake) — muscat with citrus and floral notes
colorwave (lightwell survey, virginia) — vidal blanc blend with a slight tart edge — weirdly addictive
naked orange (heinrich, austria) — chardonnay blend that’s golden-hued and bold

rosé and red wines

tentations rosé (clos cibonne, france) — grenache blend rosé that’s salty, savory, and not too pink
should we just rely on luck? (anders frederik steen, france) — a cinsault blend. name says it all: vibes
le coriancon (domaine vallot, france) — classic côtes du rhône red: smooth and earthy
glou glou (las jaras, california) — easy-drinking carignan blend that goes down a little too fast
bring it (swick, california) — a pinot noir blend for when you want something chill but still structured

what’s on the menu?

wine bars in brooklyn love to brag about their wine lists, but let’s be real—most places drop the ball when it comes to food.

at baba, we don’t play w that. good food is what brings williamsburg back to baba on withers street - time & time againnnn

we wont complain

share a few of these with your table:

pain aux tomates: heirloom tomatoes on toast — fresh, salty, a little sweet. perfect with a crisp sauv blanc or prosecco
panisse: chickpea fritters with remoulade. the crispy, lemony bite you didn’t know you needed. pairs well with colorwave or a glass of flora prosecco
whipped ricotta: fennel seed, bee pollen, honey — it’s creamy, sweet, and salty. match it with the naked orange or a glass of bring it
bouillabaisse toast: rock shrimp, rouille, fennel confit — savory and perfect for reds like glou glou or le coriancon

for mains:

duck leg confit with fairytale eggplant puree.
crispy chicken sando on brioche.
cassoulet: merguez or maitake with white beans and chermoula.

oh, and baba fries? manchego, cayenne mayo, and a bottle of anything red or sparkling. trust. they may not be on the night menu anymore but if you reallllllly want them - we got you.

if you come by on the reg, we threw them on both of our happy hour menus as well. we dont want you yakking in our freshly painted bathroom. so, eat the fries and soak up that saturday juice you're sipping on

for the wine-averse (we’ll allow it)

not into wine? baba’s got sickkk cocktails too (obvs we're a fully stocked bar)

doom scroll: chipotle tequila, chai, and green apple ginger — balanced and punchy

why baba's wine bar is different

williamsburg’s full of wine bars, but baba feels like your favorite hangout — because it is.

we’re not here to impress you with snooty pairings or wine talk nobody understands.

our wine list is natural, playful, and always changing. sit inside at the cozy bar and chat with our staff - we're super chill

or grab a table in our backyard or dining spaces!

when the weather’s nice (or even when it’s not), the backyard’s open, heated, and perfect for group hangs or a late-night dance under the disco

indoor & outdoor dining (drinking) all year long

inside, it’s dimly lit and a little bit moody. perfect for date nights, friend hangs, or solo escapes with a glass of wine and your intrusive thoughts. the banquettes are cozy, the playlist’s good, and the bar feels like your favorite neighborhood spot.

outside, the backyard stays open year-round. heated in winter, covered for rain or shine—this is the kind of space that’s made for wine under the string lights, champagne toasts with your friends, or dancing under the disco ball when the night runs late.

baba’s not just a summer spot—it’s the move, every season.

happy hour that actually makes you happy

not to flex, but baba has TWO happy hours. bc what’s better than one?

yesterday’s wine (sunday-thursday, 5-7pm):

this isn’t about cheap wine that tastes like regret. at baba, yesterday’s wine means $9 glasses of natural wine worth sipping. bring your friends or come solo. order a glass, a carafe, or a bottle to share. you can sit inside or claim a spot in our backyard—it’s heated, covered, and open all year.

last call (everyday, 10pm-close):

when the lights dim, the music gets louder, and the disco ball starts catching the room just right—our second happy hour begins. grab your spicy margs, espresso martinis, and baba bites for $8 - $11 :)

there’s a reason baba is quietly becoming the best wine bar in williamsburg:

natural wine: bottles, glasses, and carafes, with a focus on wine you’ll actually want to drink
good food: not just food—real, thoughtful marseille-inspired plates designed to go with whatever you’re sipping
the vibes: indoor cozy meets backyard magic. heated, covered, and built for staying too long
twice-daily happy hour: $9 wine. $11 cocktails. every day.
brunchin' hard on weekends: Saturday & Sunday 10am-4pm

and if you’re crawling metropolitan ave, hitting night of joy or reunion? you’ll end up here anyway.
