What’s the happy hour at Olympia Wine Bar?
Olympia Wine Bar is a cozy, intimate spot on the corner of Jay and Water Streets in DUMBO, open since 2013 and just a couple of blocks from the Brooklyn waterfront. A small zinc bar and a dozen or so tables make it feel like a neighborhood living room built around wine.
The list leans natural and adventurous, with organic Syrah, wild-fermented orange wines, Pet Nat, and Greek bottles sitting alongside seasonal cocktails and local draft beer. Skilled bartenders and shareable small plates round it out, making it a go-to for date night or a low-key evening after work.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday until 7pm. Select cocktails drop to $12 from their usual $15, Brooklyn Lager is $6, and wines by the glass come $1 off. It’s a relaxed window to explore the natural wine list or settle in with a cocktail before the room fills up in the evening.
