The Owl's Head

This rustic Bay Ridge wine bar—outfitted with exposed brick, a tin ceiling and chalkboard-menu wall—focuses on lesser-known varietals, small-production vineyards and local wineries, like Bridgehampton's Channing Daughters and Brooklyn Oenology. Sip your glass at the maple bar and nibble on small plates, including D. Coluccio charcuterie, Stinky Bklyn cheeses and panini, like one made with smoked chorizo, aged Manchego and chestnut puree on an Il Fornetto ciabatta.
