The Ten Bells

My favorite wine bar! The happy hour prices are unbeatable with $7 wine glasses and $1 oysters. The oysters are also great and come with this amazing vinaigrette. The wait staff are super friendly as well.

Super cute spot in Bushwick! My friend and I came here last night before seeing a show at Company XIV. The vibes were dark and cozy and it was great for girls night, but also would be perfect for a date. The menu is tapas style, so we shared the caesar salad, the charcuterie board, and the hummus. I thought the caesar was ok, but definitely was too strong on the anchovy. I loved the hummus and the charcuterie was good, but I could have done with a little more cheese to balance all the meat. We split a bottle of sauvignon blanc and it was perfect.I loved this spot and would come back to try other food options and try other things on their wine list! They also have a happy hour that I'd love to try.

Nice neighborhood bar with good food.We had a great time on Friday after work.Happy hours oysters and drinks never went wrong here. Services was quick, efficient and friendly.Artichoke dip, cheese board, shishito peppers, Ricotta dips: everything was delicious.Will definitely be our regular hangout.

I had passed by this place a few times but this was my first time going inside. It has an elegant ambiance.. dimmed lighting and tasteful music playing. I sat at the bar which is right by the entrance. It was not busy so I was attended to right away. I came only for the happy hour oysters and ham and cheese croquetas. The oysters were small and fresh but I think they could do a bit better cleaning the shell after shucking them. I found myself biting into pieces of the shell.. which if you know you're supposed to swallow oysters whole. Thank goodness I was careful. The croquetas were very delicious as was the bacon jam that accompanied it. I loved the sweet to salty combination. I also had a glass of the tap rose which was delicious and tart. When I got the bill, I realized it wasn't apart of the happy hour menu but it was great nonetheless.

This restaurant is my go to for oysters and wine. I love the tapas. The menu switches up time to time but the flavors of the food is consistent..I went here on a Friday night and it was busy! The service was not that great, after we ordered ..literally took 3 hours for us to be checked up on. We had our food and drinks already and was indulging in great conversation but still.. To be fair, I believe they were very short staffed. The ambiance of this resto is dimmly lit .. calm vibes.

Bushwick is definitely the new hip neighborhood in Brooklyn. I got to spend some time here on my last visit and it definitely made me feel like I was back in Williamsburg circa 2010. I'm familiar with the original LES location of Ten Bells so when I saw this was near the apartment I decided to come have dinner here. And wow! I loved it so much. It's legit, even better than the original location! Because it's spacious and sexy and the food is better while the wine is still excellent. If you look up my review of the LES Ten Bells you'll see I question how that place got cited as the best bar for a first date when it's dark and grungy in a bad way and the service was mediocre and the food was just ok. Well, the Bushwick Ten Bells is most definitely worthy of being a first date destination. As far as I'm concerned.

Cozy, unpretentious bar/restaurant with a natural wine list from small producers, classic cocktails, and tapas style food. They have a happy hour every day from opening to 7pm, which includes $1.50 oysters and $20 carafes of wine. The Ten Bells' first location has been open on the Lower East Side since 2008; this Bushwick one is new. I came here with 3 friends on a Sunday and enjoyed the experience overall. The place is dimly lit, and stylish but not fancy. We shared some wine, which was great, and $1.50 oysters, which were not. They were quite briny and had small pieces of shattered shell in more than a few bites (a result of improper shucking). Still, not bad for the price point.My favorite aspect of the menu was the nice variety of tinned fish. You may be thinking, why would I pay for a can of fish at a restaurant, but it's quality stuff, and they serve it with really good bread and butter. A perfect pairing for biodynamic wine or their "Damn Good Martini", which lived up to its title. Downsides were the elusive service, and my friend's Rum Boulevardier, which tasted exactly like Robitussen. We both love all the ingredients in the drink-Smith & Cross Jamaican Rum, Forthave Red Aperitivo, Dolin Rouge-so the ratios must have been way off.

I'm a sucker for a good wine bar, so I was naturally excited when my friends brought us here for happy hour oysters and wine. First of all, the happy hour deals are amazing. We shared approximately 20 oysters, papas bravas, 2 wine carafes (they're in cute little Erlenmeyer flasks - my little STEM heart was so happy), and artichoke salad among 4 of us. We were pretty satiated. Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful.The interior is super cute - very French inspired. And the staff was super funny and attentive. Worth a visit if you're ever in the neighborhood.

Cute atmosphere with a nice outdoor patio but food and service both leave something to be desired. Portions are very small for the price so you will leave hungry unless you order a lot. The one exception is the Mac and cheese which is the only thing that is a decent size. We went as a large group for a birthday dinner and had to keep asking the servers for basic things like water, refills, and utensils. They were not attentive despite the restaurant not being full at all and seemed dismissive, uninterested, and not friendly. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place.

Really enjoyed the nice atmosphere, 80s music, great food and drinks at this place. Nice crowd and staff.Super nice waitress, the Mushroom & Scallion croquetas are amazing! Nice happy hour too.
