Editorial Review for Cru A Wine Bar – by Aaron Weinstein
In Short
A candle flickering on every table reflects the romantic aura created by wine label murals, red paper lamps hanging over the mahogany bar and an entire wall of bottle cubbies. Even designer dishes including blue crab cakes, pan-seared duck and Chilean sea bass take a back seat to the wine at this elegant locale. More than 500 wines can be ordered by the bottle, glass or flight--a taste of three related wines.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyBefore investing in a bottle or glass of expensive wine, try a less-expensive sample from the daily changing flight menu.
ParkingBustling, pedestrian-filled West Village is a nightmare for parking. The best bet is the free garage in the center of the shopping center.

I went to CRU to meet some girls for drinks a few weeks ago. The place is small but cozy. The prices are decent for what your getting. It had a really nice atmosphere, but I think it would be better for a date than for happy hours.
Pros: decent wine selection with helpful staff and a nice interior
Cons: not a place to meet new people

I love Wine Bars, but this was beyond my expectation of a wine bar. My husband and the other couple we were with had a great first impression! The atmosphere was great. It was dark with lots of candle light. We sat in the "half" booth in the corner, which was perfect. I love wine, but I don't know that much about it, so the wine flights are the best. The variety is wonderful. I suggest the Champagne flight! My food was tasty: steak with potatoes and mushrooms. My husband did not like his Kobe Steak. He said it was cold. He thought there should be more food for the price. I thought the portions were perfect. He said, "the Pinot Noir was the best he had ever had." Its pricey, but worth it.
Pros: Atmosphere and wine flights
Cons: price
