Kirk's Wine Bar

European$$

After over a decade doing its thing on a handsome corner of Hardware Lane, Kirk’s Wine Bar has perfected the winning combination of old-fashioned charm and conviviality. It’s perfect for both light bites (go the fresh oysters with a standout house fermented hot sauce and the pig’s head doughnut) and something more substantial (the steak frites is hard to beat). One thing to note: show up early because it doesn’t accept bookings.

The best spot to sit: By the floor-to-ceiling windows, or weather permitting, out on the street, Paris-style.
