BYOB places.

ar · March 2006

I know that there are a few places in PH/ PS that have no liq. lic. For instance we were at Joy last night and I forgot to ask if they allow you to bring in your own beverages. Does anyone know? What are the other places in PH/PS that allow that?

Olive Vine on 7th. I love their spinach pie.

I was wondering just this question the other night as Mr. Medusa & I ate at the delicious Abistro on Carlton and Myrtle in Fort Greene--the final bill of which was very much tempered by the BOYB-ness of it.

I couldn't come up with much other than Islands and the Indian places.

P.S. http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/41696697/ for info about Abistro (with whom I have no connection).

amorina was byob only until a couple weeks ago. now they have a very small wine selection but still allow you to bring your own -- even at fermented grapes prices, it's a better deal to run across the street and pick up a bottle.

when i was there last (2? weeks ago) they said they were planning to institute a corkage fee, but they hadn't yet, because they wanted to let their regulars get used to the change gradually.

also one on 7th and 15th, same place, same owners as far as I know.

I thought the Greek restaurant on 6th and St. Marks was BYOB but I have never been there. I don't know if they still have no liquor licence or not.
It was mentioned here before.

We went a week ago and the corkage fee was in place. How much? 15! I was like ugh! and I put the bottle away. The guy came back and told me he was mistaken...its $10. Still, more than the wine I bought :oops: (but from fermented grapes...so it HAS to be good, right? right? :P )

Anyway, that will prob be the last time I bring wine there. its a shame b.c that was a huge draw for us.

holy cow! i was thinking it would be more like $5.....

and their wine isn't so great.

poo.

but thanks for the report.

$10 really isn't bad for a corkage fee. I know it's more than free but if you buy a bottle for $10 and spend $10 on the corkage you still only pay $20 for a bottle of wine to drink with dinner at a restaurant. That's pretty hard to find in NYC and if you do find it the wine is usually pretty crappy. It may not be a deal but it's not bad.

If you want to drink anything nicer than that you end up doing really well. A bottle of wine that is $50 in a restaurant would cost around $20 in a store so you end up getting it for $30 total, saving $20.

i know, i know.

i know that $10 isn't unreasonable. it's just that my budget IS unreasonable. and it was nice to have a place where i could afford a decent meal and a glass of wine without feeling too guilty about how much cheaper it is to eat at home.

BYOB places.
