Wine Dive, a wine-focused dive bar and bottle shop, opened its doors on South Street in Graduate Hospital in January. In addition to offering 20 different wines and champagnes by the glass and 215 by the bottle, the bar also serves beer, hard cider, hard seltzer, sake juice boxes, sangria, kombucha, and custom cocktails. Patrons can even go home with “wowlers,” a version of a growler designed for wine instead of beer, which are available in 12.7 ounce and 25 ounce jugs stamped with the Wine Dive logo. To complement the extensive beverage menu, the kitchen churns out a small selection of dishes ranging from crab rangoon to veggie tacos to beef chili. The 2,500-square-foot space, which seats as many as 50 guests, features eye-catching 1970s-style decor, including wood-paneled walls, Salvador Dali-inspired graffiti art, a retro TV set, vintage mirrors mounted on the ceiling, and a jukebox.

Canadian retailer Holt Renfrew recently unveiled its brand-new Holts Café in the flagship Yorkville store this past February. The 5,145-square-foot space was overseen by Alex Cochrane Architects, which wanted to create a signature space that was both modern and welcoming for new and returning customers. The café features 20-foot-high floor-to-ceiling windows and uses a palette of white oak, rosewood, off-white terrazzo, and rich brass to provide a timeless framework to the vibrant blue, red, yellow, and green jewel-toned accents in the furniture and design features. Currently, the café has a capacity of 92 seated guests with space for 150 guests at a standing cocktail reception format. Expect a private dining room with seating for 10 people and an East dining room with seating for 36. Full buyouts are available.
