Sauced

Sauced is a stylish, menu-free wine bar with locations in Williamsburg and the East Village, New York City. The interior channels a laid-back, European members-only vibe, without the exclusivity, featuring eclectic decor, warm lighting, and a mix of vintage and contemporary design elements. Guests are welcomed into a space that feels both curated and casual, with vinyl records spinning, daily food specials, and a back room that adds a playful twist to the experience. The bar’s ethos is centred on indulgence, spontaneity, and community, offering wine by the glass or bottle without the constraints of a traditional menu.

Founded by Damien del Rio and his hospitality team, Sauced has earned a loyal following for its unique approach to wine service and its commitment to sustainability, including a zero-waste food programme. Executive Chef Quentin Peron leads the culinary side, crafting seasonal dishes that pair effortlessly with the night’s pours. While it may not boast formal awards, Sauced is widely celebrated in local media and nightlife circles for its originality, inclusive atmosphere, and ability to turn a simple glass of wine into a memorable experience.
