Fantastic service, amazing cocktails, and delicious food. This is definitely a must-visit spot in East Rock. I highly recommend August. Update: still outstanding and I still love it!
This is the most "authentic" wine bar in New Haven. It’s beautifully furnished and decorated in a whimsical Euro-Anglo style, and the menu is extensive, emphasizing quality and attention to detail. My friend and I initially just planned to enjoy a glass of wine and a small snack, but we were so impressed that we ended up ordering four different dishes over the course of two hours.
My mom and I stumbled into August almost by mistake and I am SO GLAD we did. It is the most charming wine bar I’ve had the pleasure to go to. The selection is always delicious and Michelle is always there to welcome you, and help you choose and describe the wines. The service is incredible- everyone working there wants to be there and wants you to enjoy whatever you are drinking and/or eating. They serve light food like charcuterie cheese boards, shishito peppers and pâté, but everything is so delicious. I go here every time a friend comes to town because there is no better place to take them in New Haven for a cozy night out for wine and cheese.
The perfect example of a small bar, August is a hidden gem in New Haven. With a maximum capacity of around 20 people, it's best to arrive early to secure a spot. Be sure to try something from their charcuterie menu—watching it being prepared right at the bar is a delightful experience.
Incredible service, great cocktails and eating. a place in east rock must not be missing. I can't recommend august anymore. update: still great. still loves it.
