The owners behind Le Dive are planning another intimate, European-inspired natural wine tavern in Dimes Square called Le Wine. Taking over the former Two Bridges space at 135 Division St. in the Lower East Side, Le Wine will aim to provide a low-intervention drinking experience that highlights natural winemaking, along with a food menu of small bites meant for pairing. A sample menu included with a Community Board 3 filing listed small plates such as kalamata olives, charcuterie, shishito peppers, and duck liver tartine. What Now New York contacted ownership, but they declined to comment.
Designed as an intimate haunt by owners Golden Age Hospitality, the cozy space features 20 wall counter seats and a bar with seven seats. Out front, the team has mapped out a modest sidewalk footprint for warm-weather street seating. In a recent CB3 meeting, the owners committed to strict 10 p.m. curfews for both the outdoor tables and operable facade windows. They signaled an attempt to turn the page from the former tenant, which had racked up hundreds of noise complaints since 2020.
