Would love to keep this gem to myself but sharing is caring. Black Mountain is cozy--think fireplace, dimly lit, walls lined with bottles of wine. They've been around for years but I've only recently discovered it and have been twice, enjoying each visit. I've sampled the cheese plate and ordered the truffle oil Mac and cheese both times. The Mac and cheese is light on the truffle flavor and could use a sharper cheese for more of a kick imo. The mulled wine is my go to for the season. It's just the right amount of warm, sweet and spiced for wintry evenings. My favorite part is the wine prices are accessible in a city where an average glass of wine runs around $16. Stop in, cozy up next the fireplace and enjoy.
Cute place, small and loud but weirdly romantic at the same time. Food was priced the same as the quality. Wasn't bad at all but wasn't the best either. Drinks a little overpriced. The one dessert item on their menu was really good. Service is eh, really slow and not attentive. I asked for a dessert menu and instead just got the 1 dessert they had served to the table without telling me what it was, just gave it to me.
If only I lived closer, this would definitely be my go-to wine spot. The selections are amazing - so many different varieties to try. They also have a good selection of meat and cheese boards.
amazing vibes. great choices of wine and cocktails. the bites are usually delicious but skip the goat cheese tart (not sure exactly how it's listed on the menu ) . it's like a soggy salad on top of a wet diaper. meatballs are amazing. as well as the roasted tomatoes.
This place is so cute and cozy, wish I checked it out sooner. They have a fireplace that is so warm and nice with a red glass of wine. They specialize in wines but have beer and small bites as well. Ordered the Mac and cheese and charcuterie, both were delicious. They do get packed though, went at 4pm thinking it would be empty since they just opened but it was crowded. Great date spot or place to enjoy a glass of wine alone with a good book.
Love this place so much! I used to go all the time before the pandemic when I lived in Brooklyn, and recently went again and remembered why I used to love it. The ambiance is so cozy, there's a fireplace inside and it's dark with lots of candles. It's also one of the few places you can walk in to before or after dinner on a Friday night. They have a small outdoor patio in the front with a handful of seats and a bonfire. The service is attentive and you can stay for as little or as long as you want. I've tried a handful of their small plates before too and everything was great! You may be able to make a dinner out of it if you order a few things too!
I'm surprised that I hadn't written a review for this place yet. This has always been a solid go-to spot for hangouts in the neighborhood. It's an all-purpose place - good for groups or as couples. The vibes are amazing, especially when the weather is nice and can sit outside - but it's also a nice hideaway indoors in inclement weather. On cold days, they have a cozy fireplace inside and a fire pit outside. I've had nothing but the friendliest of service here - great selection of wines, and the food/snacks are actually a bit underrated in my opinion. I've had many memorable moments at Black Mountain - days that have started here, and nights that have ended here. I've since moved away from the neighborhood, but Black Hole will always have a special place in my heart.
Overall rating: 4.4 I came here in mid September after getting served a TikTok about how cozy & good the the mulled wine is from an influencer I follow. When I went, it was clearly still warm but it was a lot smaller and less cozy than I was expecting. Fortunately with just a walk-in, my friend and I got the last seat. We ended up sharing a panini which was a great portion, but when asked about the mulled wine or timing - the waitress couldn't say. She couldn't even give me a month. Inside, it felt more crowded and claustrophobia over warm and cozy. If you're the owner reading this, could you tell me when you start so I can try again? I think this is more of a neighborhood local bar than anything. I'm not sure if I'd be willing to travel here if I didn't have a hook.
A hidden gem! It's tucked away on a quiet corner, away from the hustle and bustle. The first time I walked by I had no idea it was a wine bar -- I thought it was someone's front yard. It quickly became a favorite of mine. I love going during the day on weekends, ordering an adult lemonade (proseco+lemonade), sitting outside and enjoying a leisurely afternoon. If you go in the colder months, you can enjoy their cozy interior with a fireplace to boot. For food, I usually go for the Tuna Niçoise Salad, in which they use "really expensive canned tuna", ha. It's very good, albeit sometimes a tad too salty. The BLAT sandwich is also yummy. If you're in the mood for sweet, try the Chocolate Bread Pudding. And of course, the wines are delicious! I need to start writing down the types of wine I drink, but suffice it to say there's something for everyone.
Black Mountain Wine House in Boerum Hill is a cozy, fireplace-accented neighborhood wine bar. We went for dinner and had a bottle of a recommended Slovenian white white alongside creamy mac and cheese, charcuterie plate, goat cheese tart, salt cod and artichoke dip, B.L.A.T, meatballs, roasted tomatoes and their warm, chocolate bread pudding. We love this spot for their stellar small plates and well-curated wine list. This is definitely an ideal place for a romantic date
