About Bar Florine

Bar Florine is a good Upper East Side choice when the goal is a composed wine-bar evening rather than a loud cocktail crawl. Star Wine List recognition gives it a credible reason to book, and easy booking makes it useful for dates or small-group plans that need polish without major reservation pressure.

Bar Florine is a New York City venue with confirmed evening hours from Wednesday through Sunday and a smart-casual dress code. The most concrete quality signal available is Star Wine List recognition in 2026, so this is best framed as a planning page built around verified practical details rather than unverified claims about menu, service style, pricing, or atmosphere.

Choose it for a New York City evening with confirmed late hours

The strongest verified reason to keep Bar Florine on a New York City shortlist is its schedule: it is closed Monday and Tuesday, open 5 PM–12 AM on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and open 5 PM–1 AM on Friday and Saturday. Star Wine List recognition gives an additional confirmed point of reference for readers comparing evening options, but the available data does not verify a specific menu, cuisine, chef, price range, seating format, or reservation policy.

Do not make this the choice if the night depends on a verified food menu, a lunch service, a specific price point, or a confirmed service format, because those details are not established here.

The planning case is strongest when the verified details fit

Use Bar Florine when the confirmed hours and smart-casual dress code match the evening you are planning. It is not possible to verify booking difficulty, seating capacity, takeout or delivery, dietary accommodations, or a specific crowd profile from the available data, so those should not be treated as settled facts.

Reservations: No verified reservation policy is provided here, so check directly before planning around a specific time. Dress: Smart casual is the confirmed dress code. Budget: Pricing is not verified here, so do not rely on a specific spend estimate. Timing: Bar Florine is open Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 5 PM to 12 AM, and Friday and Saturday from 5 PM to 1 AM; it is closed Monday and Tuesday.

How Bar Florine compares on the Upper East Side

Choose Bar Florine over Plug Uglies UES when the night needs a calmer wine-bar mood rather than a more casual neighborhood-bar feel. For a date or a low-pressure catch-up, Bar Florine is the safer recommendation; for a looser group hang, Plug Uglies UES is the easier fit.

Bemelmans Bar is the comparison for readers who want classic New York polish and a more formal sense of occasion. Bar Florine is the better pick when booking ease and a quieter wine-focused evening matter more than the hotel-bar ritual. The Penrose Bar is the stronger cross-shop for a busier, more social Upper East Side bar night.

SUKI DESU and Schaller's Stube Sausage Bar point the decision in a different direction: pick them when the food or casual format is driving the plan. Pick Bar Florine when the wine list, conversation, and a more composed room are the reason to go.
