86 & Vine is hidden gem in Bergen County, and here's why... it's a 2-in-1 busienss with "86 & Vine", being an extensive liquor store, and "The Vine Room", being a speakeasy high class bar with chill vibes.Located in the suburbs of northern Bergen County it is secluded from all the nonsense and traffic. Once you get here you can shop at their extensive liquor store, and walk away excited with your selections.Francesco and Luigi (owners) have picked out the best of the best in liquor and wines... and, if they do not have it then they will get it! These guys may look young, but they have many years of solid experience in the liquor and wine business. You can not stump them, because they go as far as importing specialty wines/liqueurs right to their store.My favorite part is the speakeasy bar attached to the liquor store. It's elegant, sophisticated, exclusive feel makes it a delight to visit for a handcrafted cocktail and light appetizers.FYI:Plenty of parking as they have their own lot.

This was the most human shopping experience I've ever had. They listened to what I wanted, and made the best recommendations. They didn't push me to buy anything I hadn't already planned to buy, AND it was the only place I managed to get Angostura Aromatic Bitters in time for Christmas Eve. From this day forth, this will be my GO TO for Wines and Spirits.

As a long-standing member of our beloved community since 1973, I recently stumbled upon a true hidden gem that has added a touch of elegance and sophistication to our community. Upon the recommendation of my dear friend Carol, I visited the recently opened 86&Vine in search of a bottle of wine for my upcoming holiday party. Little did I know that this visit would turn into a delightful discovery.At first glance, I anticipated a run-of-the-mill liquor store experience, but what I found was nothing short of extraordinary. The owner, Francesco, who came highly recommended by Carol, turned out to be the true highlight of my visit. Despite considering myself somewhat knowledgeable about wine, Francesco's expertise and passion for the craft left me thoroughly impressed.I was on the hunt for a specific vermentino for my holiday party, and Francesco not only located it for me immediately but went above and beyond by treating me to a tasting of a different Italian white wine. This tasting was made possible by their impressive Cuvee wine system, showcasing a level of sophistication I hadn't expected in our neighborhood. Francesco's recommendation was spot on, and I left with not only the vermentino I was initially seeking but also a newfound appreciation for the diverse Italian whites curated in their collection.Francesco, a delightful and knowledgeable young man, made my visit truly memorable. His genuine enthusiasm for helping customers find the perfect bottle and his willingness to introduce them to new and exciting flavors added a personal touch that sets 86&Vine apart.As I left the store, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Carol's recommendation and excited about the prospect of returning, this time to savor the experience at their elegant wine bar. The promise of an inviting ambiance and a carefully curated selection of wines has me eagerly anticipating my next visit.In conclusion, 86&Vine has transformed the liquor store experience into a destination worth visiting. With Francesco at the helm and a commitment to providing exceptional service, this establishment has undoubtedly become a new favorite in our community. I look forward to exploring more of their offerings and enjoying the warm ambiance of their wine bar in the near future.Cheers to 86&Vine for bringing a touch of sophistication and exceptional wine expertise to our cherished neighborhood!

This is definitely a spot you want to check out! Some highlights are the manhattan vibe cocktails, an extensive selection of wines, and small bites you can snack on. The liquor store is attached shall you need anything else. The bar has a warm cozy ambiance with wonderful staff members that are knowledgeable and passionate.

Beautiful Lounge in Norwood. The staff are nice and sharp! Hands-down one of the most knowledgeable staff that can help me pick out what I would like to drink or eat depending on my mood and preferences! I believe one of the owners is a Sommelier, so he does an exquisite job guiding your palate on a tasteful journey with what he's curated. Can't think of a better place to go to in Bergen County.

What a beautiful hidden gem! This is a swanky cute wine bar that serves food and is connected to a tasting room with wines on tap and a liquor store. The decor and vibe is so classy and unique almost like a speak easy. The actual bar is beautiful with a huge slab of onyx stone and a moss wall. Just look at the pictures. The food is light tapas, cheese and charcuterie, burrata, truffle foie gras.... Easily a classy first date spot! Google says they close at 10 but Friday and Saturday they close at 1am and then open till 11pm during the week

This place has to be the most unique and vibey hidden gem in North Jersey. The energy in 86 is not only immaculate but the drinks and food are just as amazing. The owner, Frank, is kind and welcoming while his staff behind the bar are personable kind people that are constantly providing the most stellar customer service. How often can you find a cocktail parlor with reasonably priced drinks that are GOOD with people that make the experience that much better… I’ll wait

I just walked in and talked with the store staff. Brand new winery and liquor store with a bar on the side (they said they also served foods). Saw some Japanese whiskeys and Korean Sojus. Easy parking ?️

This place is perfect. They are so chill and helpful. There's no intimidation at all here like some other wine shops. I don't have to waste my time anymore or look like a clown while Vivino'ing reviews of bottles I've never seen before. Awesome selection, friendly staff, beautiful bar with delicious cocktails.

I’m not a huge wine guy, but once I walked into 86 & Vine the staff made me feel like I was crushing grapes in Calabria myself! Between the wine by glass option, the rare wine options, and the sommelier on site to help guide you through your preferences; this wine bar is second to none!
