65 Fen

Half bar half room with many amazing wines, Michael is so helpful, the wine selection is excellent!

Great neighborhood shop to pick up a bottle for any occasion. Also I think right now its really the only option in the area, unless you want to try that mysterious, dust covered «wine» from the lower shelves of Western Beef. Just wine– no spirits or anything extra– but they have a nice mix of regions and prices ranges. The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable, definitely recommend stopping in.

I adore 65 Fen. It’s a great wine shop and a meaningful part of the community. It’s a tiny little spot, so it almost feels like your entering your personal wine cellar. Quite frankly… it’s just lovely. I’ve been going here for some time and I’m always met with a smile and honest recommendation. I appreciate the chat and how my sometimes ambivalent mood about wine is never taken personally. If I’m just not feeling a particular suggestion today, ok that’s fine, try something else, or peruse at your leisure and decide. No pressure. The inventory is mindfully built to be varied for different price points and taste profiles and the owners are well versed and well traveled enough to speak on wine and how your day went. It’s more than just picking out a bottle when you visit. It’s a wonderful conversation and reminder of what a community is all about.
As for the wine, I’ve picked up some great reds here. Definitely inquire within about their Spanish and Italian reds. There are some really good affordable options when you need to pick something up for a dinner party or for yourself to make that long day at work disappear!

Great local, neighborhood shop with a nice selection of wines. Staff is helpful and friendly. If there’s a wine you want that is not cold, just ask! They usually have cold bottles in a different room and are super helpful. Who has times to let wine chill after a long day at work!

Finally! a cute wine shop in the neighborhood. nice selection of wine that’s affordable… South African white wine was my favorite (forget the name). It seems that they also have live music on Monday nights. Very classy but not pretentious to say the least. NEIGHBORHOOD GEM.

Incredibly helpful staff offer small, lovely selection of affordable wines. Ask for a punch card.

Is it the finest wine store in Brooklyn? No. Is it a great local place with super knowledgable, friendly staff, frequent tastings, and reasonable price points? Absolutely. If you live anywhere in the surrounding area there’s no reason to drag bottles of wine across the borough, just go here. I like that it’s on the smaller side, makes it easier to choose. It also means the owners have to be better at constantly curating the selection.

Friendly, knowledgeable service. Really cool staff and lovely vibe. Every time I go, there are several new bottles on the shelves and usually great stuff!

What a gem to find in the neighborhood ! Great wine selection (every time i have been in, there are new wines I have never seen before) and I am a sucker for the cool labels ! There is art hanging on the walls, friendly and knowledgeable staff, plus, Michael gives great recommendations for food in the area. Great selection in $ 10-​$ 20 range.

Love them. Excellent selection of modestly priced wines. Most of the time I feel like I have to choose between bullet proof liquor stores and insanely expensive wine shops where I feel like a cheapskate scanning the shelves for something in my price range. I haven’t spotted a bottle at 65 Fen that was over $ 25 and they have plenty closer to $ 10. Always great wines, a lovely, lovely atmosphere. I really love them.

Management is friendly. The wine tastings have been educational. The wine is eclectic and the price range is good between $ 8.50– $ 27.00.

Such a great find! Thanks Unilocalers for pointing me in the direction of 65 Fen. Surprisingly good (and affordable!) selection for a small shop. I walked about a mile to get there, so I could avoid buying another miscellaneous bad bottle from the shrine to bulletproof glass in my neighborhood.
Another huge plus? Michael. Kind, approachable, informed and excited about the wines he’s selling.
Good people, good wine, good prices. I’ll definitely be back.

This place is a fun wine store. I never thought I would ever say «fun wine store» but it really is. Being from LA, I’m still annoyed by the fact that wine cannot be sold in supermarkets. Or that all liquor cannot be sold in supermarkets. But I digress…
Anyway — this place is sweet. First of all, any place that offers free dog biscuits is a plus in my book (even though I don’t have a dog, but I think it’s very considerate). Every time we go there, whoever is behind the counter always has a smile on their face, easy going, helpful (a couple times I see them nursing their own glass or having a very party-​like «wine tasting»), and the prices are reasonable.
One time we were specifically looking for wine with a screw top and they handed it to us saying, «have fun in the park.»
My only complaint is that I wish they were closer to our house!

I absolutely LOVE this place. The location cannot be beat (so close to the B & Q trains). The service is impeccable and the two Mike’s really know their wines but even more importantly, they know YOUR wines. They are great at suggesting wines based on favorite foods and/​or occasions.
Most important is the selection. You will never find any Yellow Tail on their shelves and they have some of the best Rose wines I have ever tasted from the French Riviera. I feel luxurious for under $ 15!!!

Nice community grass roots wine store, need more places like this innthe neighborhood. They have weekly wine tastings, art gallery nights and other special events for the neighborhood. As well as a great selection of wine and for those not so experts, they give great suggestions. Check it out.

Great spot in the hood for a good bottle of wine at a reasonable price. The owner is really nice and makes good recommendations.

Chic. Cozy. Varied. Hand Selected. The new go-​to wine shop for unique and well priced wines makes its home in Lefferts Garden and we love them for it!
I’ve found my new favorite Moscato here and the guys hand pick and KNOW their wine and with weekend wine tastings, you will too. Most bottles run between &8 and $ 25, how can you go wrong?!

A small but varied selection of wines at reasonable prices. The owners hand-​pick all the bottles, and their focus is on the affordable. Need a good $ 15 bottle? This is your place.
I met one of the owners when picking out a bottle last week. He was more than willing to help me select something based on the type of food we’d be having. And he didn’t try to push me to buy a more expensive bottle, which is appreciated. Very friendly.
Will definitely be coming back. A great addition to the neighborhood — I hope it lasts.

They also have great weekend wine tastings (with food!) and a mailing list you can join. This place rocks!

A lovely little wine shop that just opened in Prospect Lefferts Gardens.
Right off Flatbush, it is perfect for picking up a bottle on your way out for BYOB or on your way home from work for a quiet evening. I am no expert in wine, but I can tell you that the prices run from cheap ($ 7.50) to cheap-​ish ($ 20).
Yea for another PLG find!
