The service was immaculate and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were knowledgeable without being pretentious. The wine list was extensive, almost overwhelming but the staff walked us through and helped us pick some delicious wines. The food paired well with our wine choices. Can’t forget the cocktails, delicious and inventive. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend for any occasion.Food: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Noise levelModerate noise

Talk about a great evening! First off, the staff is nothing short of incredible — attentive, fun and most importantly, knowledgeable. Consigliere brings out the best of Newark, filling the gap of what was much needed for the city’s continued growth.The wine list? Phenomenal and clearly curated.The cocktails? Smooth as can be and the team there executes a vision that is constantly iterating to become even better than the last time (I’ve already been several times!).

Consigliere is truly something special. The atmosphere, the music, the service was incredible. This feels like what we all want from a true East Coast establishment: great service, great vibe and the wine and add in dope music.It has something for any mood. Happy Hour today was amazing and I cannot wait for their events! You can tell this was well curated by the owner and I felt like this is now a destination spot if you are looking for a great wine, music, and vibe.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

The ambiance is incredible, equal parts refined and inviting. Staff are genuinely friendly and make the whole experience warm. The bites are on another level ~ the duck prosciutto was unforgettable and the ceviche was fresh, and perfectly balanced.

This wine bar is top 2 and it's not 2! I love coming here especially for their DJ nights.

This is my go to spot after a long hard day at work , a calm day off, and everything in between. I love everything about this establishment including the food, the drinks (especially the espresso martini), and most importantly THE STAFF’S ENERGY & ATTENTIVENESS IS UNMATCHED.

Beautiful wine bar with an extensive wine list and amazing cocktails (even mocktails!). So happy to finally have a grown and sexy spot to go to in Newark that also serves delicious small plates—especially the customizable charcuterie boards (duck prosciutto is a game changer). Our server and the bartenders were very friendly and the music was perfect, too.

Kavion ( Lenny Kravitz Doppelgänger ) is an incredible floor manager at Consigerele. He truly went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special. From the moment we arrived, he was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect for us. Even when I come back, he always makes sure the night runs smoothly. His energy and attention to detail really set the tone for an amazing experience. He consistently checks in to make sure we’re having a great time .

I had a great time here my first visit. I didn’t try to get a table since I was solo, but I was able to find space at the bar fairly easily. The wine and cocktails were really good, particularly the Fowl Play and the Love You Bunches. I didn’t try any of the foods but probably will next time. The service was good and the DJ that was playing was excellent. I enjoyed the aesthetic and set up, and I do hope this place can last in downtown Newark!Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Wait timeNo waitParking spacePlenty of parkingParking optionsFree street parkingParkingTypical downtown Newark parking.

I was in town & a friend brought me here. Security checks your reservation & i.d. at the door. This is the perfect date night, gurls nite, or even a night out with the guys spot. Keep in mind that it’s a very intimate setting with first come first served seating & a few reserved spots.Very vibey, the music was on point, & the drinks were good. There’s even a pool table & t.v. that had the game on.I’d say this is for the late 20s to 30s crowd. Lots of eye candy, including the staff.Highly recommend.Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Group size3-4 people

This spot is a great place to link up with friends and chill over a shared bottles of wine or one of their signature cocktails. Since it is a wine bar, the food echoes traditional wine bar pairings including charcuterie and cheese.If this is not what you are looking to have then you will be disappointed unless it is a night where there is a kitchen takeover from a local brand.Every now and then they have DJ events and those are pretty cool. The atmosphere and aesthetic are also top notch.The wines could be better. Some of them aren’t that great compared to the price and flavor, but the cocktails have no complaints. The only issue is that sometimes the bartenders will say that they are out of a specific cocktail, which can be disappointing so get there earlier if you want a specific cocktail. Service slows down significantly on packed nights, but that’s to be expected.Would not recommend for a night out if dancing is the goal. People tend to stand on the dance floor area, even when the
