Tapas / Small Plates
VinoTapa is a Spanish bar & tapas restaurant. Your neighborhood spot - great for dates, girls' night out or come alone and make new friends. We have the best happy hour in Murray Hill, with sangria, wine, beer, and cocktails on special daily until 8 PM! Come by to try our inventive signature cocktails and extensive line-up of craft beer and carefully chosen wine selections. Our tapas are delicious and unique, with executive chef Mike Vassallo incorporating seasonal produce and ingredients throughout the menu, year-round. For parties of three or more, ask about our tapas tasting menu - we consider it the best way to experience the restaurant. Brunch is offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 AM to 4 PM with an optional $20 Bottomless add-on. Whoever said that they don't "do" brunch in Spain, has never been to VinoTapa.

Please note that we only seat complete parties. We can't wait to see you!

    We booked a reservation for 5pm and it started getting much more crowded and noisy around 6pm. Otherwise food is excellent, would go back for those stuffed dates!

    We have been going to Vinotapa for years! My friend and I love it here! The happy hour is amazing! So is the corn flat bread! Everyone is always so hospitable and friendly. We especially love Irina! She is the best and definitely a part of why we keep visiting!

    Stopped in for a late night dinner and cocktails with a date and ended up at the bar. Very nice atmosphere, friendly bartender who made a few very nice specialty drinks and ordered several shareables, all of which were great. Recommend this place for food or drinks!

    My friend and I had the loveliest brunch here, and I really must applaud the staff because they were extremely gracious; being very understanding when my friend was running a bit late. They also never pressured us to leave (and we sat there for hours catching up). My friend got the avocado toast, which was a generous portion and very good. The bottomless brunch is a terrific deal and they do not leave you waiting. All in all a very classy establishment, and I was so glad to return years later to see that they are still doing well and have not resorted to price-gouging as so many other restaurants have. Go, VinoTapa!

    Stopped by for a casual dinner before a show at MSG. Really enjoyed all the tapas we tried, but the marinated goat cheese was definitely my favorite. I would happily go back to try the rest of the menu.

    Very meh experience at VinoTapa. It’s in the neighborhood but my husband and I haven’t been for a while so we decided. To try it again. The food was uninspired and not particularly good. The meatballs were cold when they got to the table. I did like the wine and the happy hour was good. And the pan con tomate was simple and refreshing. But overall left feelijg underwhelmed.

    I really had high hopes for this restaurant, My husband and I were looking for a Tapas place in the city that had outdoor seating. They had a large outdoor space that was not heated. We ordered wine which was good, and ordered a few of the tapas and after we ordered them she came out with the food in maybe 4 mins like it was pre paired already . The Patatas Bravas was cold and soggy, the chorizo tasted so smoky and chewy and the Pan Con Tomate was large chunks of tomato on slices of bread nothing to brag about and the deviled eggs were flavorless , we just got the check and left after chugging our wine. Maybe they had an off day but this was Saturday night and the restaurant wasn't that busy to be pushing out cold and bad stuff.

    The wines were average and the food was terrible + their oven was down. We have VERY salty deviled eggs, raw flour tasting potato croquettes, and under cooked chicken skewers. The blue cheese dates were acceptable but not great. We were very disappointed overall.

    This is a no frills tapas bar in Murray Hill with both indoor and outdoor seating. The crowd is young and fun, the prices affordable, and the food outstanding. We especially loved the croquettes, garlic shrimp and fried calamari, but everything was authentic and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, atmosphere lively, and the bill was a happy surprise - $300 for 6 of us, including wine.

    First time here, and will definitely come back!! We bought ~9 tapas for 4 people and it was plenty of food. Not overly priced and a huge variety of drinks. Love that this place has happy hour! The only drawback was this place was pretty loud even only at half-full. They also sat us at a table very close to another party even though there was room to sit at another table (it was reserved and they never showed). Can’t wait to try the brunch.
