Book with PearlWhy go
Long Count is worth booking when you want an East Village wine-bar night without turning it into a full dinner production. Go for a date, a small-group catch-up, or a flexible first stop; choose Oddball instead if the priority is a more defined cocktail concept.
About Long Count
Long Count is a New York City wine bar with a simple verified profile: casual dress and evening hours from Wednesday through Sunday. It is closed Monday and Tuesday, then open 5 PM–12 AM on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Because no verified menu, pricing, seating, ownership, award, or service-format details are available here, the safest planning read is direct: use Long Count when the plan is a wine-bar stop in New York City, confirm any finer details directly with the venue before building a full night around it.
Choose this for a wine-bar night, not an over-specified dinner plan
Long Count is best treated as a casual evening wine-bar option rather than a fully documented restaurant plan. The verified hours make it usable for Wednesday through Sunday evenings, including later starts, but not for Monday or Tuesday plans. For a full restaurant plan, use our full New York City restaurants guide; for a broader drinking shortlist, use our full New York City bars guide.
The main caution is expectation-setting. There is no verified award signal, chef credit, seat count, price point, food menu, or specific bottle list in the provided record. Dress code is casual. Travelers building a larger New York City trip can pair this with our full New York City hotels guide, our full New York City experiences guide, our full New York City wineries guide.
Good cross-shops when the plan changes
If Long Count is not the right fit, compare it with other named options such as Ding-a-ling, Oddball, Studio 151, The Wayland, or Thirteen Water. Use those comparisons for general planning only, check each venue's current details directly before deciding where to go.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Long Count in the East Village sits on the quieter, more deliberate end of New York’s wine-bar spectrum. The room is spare and intentionally understated, with architecture that defers to the bottles rather than the décor. It’s a wine-focused, program-led spot that rewards lingering: the bar counter functions as the central stage for tasting and conversation, while tables accommodate groups who come with a plan. The overall effect is refined without being fussy — a minimalist, sophisticated setting built to hold attention for two to three hours rather than to impress on first sight.
Best For
Long Count distinctly separates its daytime and evening characters. At lunch it attracts people looking for a single sharp pour, a plate, and a quiet table to work from — practical, focused visits that fit solo diners and midday breaks. Evenings slow down: the room fills more deliberately, drinks-service becomes conversational, and the bar counter turns into a forum for tasting and staff-guided exploration. That shift makes Long Count equally well suited to solitary daytime stops and more deliberate, sociable wine-focused dinners.
Ordering Tips
Approach the list with intention and lean on the staff: Long Count prizes the selection, so asking questions at the counter yields the best discoveries. If you’re there at lunch, keep it simple — one sharp pour and a plate is the typical rhythm. For evening visits, allow time for conversation and tasting; sit at the bar if you want a guided pour and deeper engagement with the list, and pick a table only if your group already knows what it wants.

Bar context
How Long Count compares in New York City
Pick Long Count when wine is the point and the night benefits from an East Village address. Oddball is the better fit for retro-futurist cocktails and unexpected flavor pairings, so it wins for drinkers who want the bar program to feel more engineered and cocktail-forward.
Studio 151, Thirteen Water, Ding-a-ling are better cross-shops when the deciding factor is room energy rather than wine-bar focus. Long Count is the calmer recommendation for a date or small group that wants to talk; shift to those peers when the night needs more of a bar-hopping feel.
The Wayland is the practical fallback when the group wants a familiar East Village bar choice with broader occasion range. Long Count is the more specific pick: choose it for wine, not for a catch-all cocktail night.
