Klimat - East Village NYC

If you were meeting up with a few friends after work, walking down the street and looking for a spot to have a few drinks and catch up Klimat is the kind of place that would make everyone slow their ever-brisk pace at the same time, look at each other and say, “Here?” “Yeah, this looks good.”

Because even if you don’t know that Klimat just opened or that it offers an interesting array of primarily Eastern European beer and wine, the laid-back atmosphere will still draw you in from the sidewalk.

With its large, welcoming tables, comfortable benches (with backs!), and fresh flowers, this is a place that invites you to stay for awhile.

There are wine and beer tastings daily and a happy hour that lasts for three (4-7pm, including Sundays). They also have a small menu of mostly Polish offerings, so if you get hungry there’s no need to leave.

Tips:

-min. charge $20
-the “semi-sweet” wine is really sweet! Do a tasting first.
