Tucked along Grand Street in Williamsburg, The Four Horsemen is Brooklyn’s definitive natural wine bar — an intimate, low-lit room that pairs a legendary cellar with cooking serious enough to have earned it a Michelin star.
Co-founded by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, the place wears its cool lightly. The aesthetic is warm and stripped-back — pale wood, soft acoustics, a quiet sense of being somewhere that insiders treasure — and the focus stays squarely on what’s in the glass and on the plate.
The wine list is the heart of it: a deep, ever-changing selection of low-intervention and natural bottles, guided by some of the most knowledgeable sommeliers in the city. Alongside it, a concise menu of seasonal, produce-driven small plates is designed expressly to make the wine sing.
Beloved by chefs, sommeliers and in-the-know New Yorkers alike, The Four Horsemen is less a night out than a pilgrimage — proof that a neighbourhood wine bar can be one of the most coveted tables in town.
