About Sauced

Sauced is an intimate neighborhood wine bar with locations in the East Village and Brooklyn. We are known for expressive wines, warm hospitality, and a loyal community of regulars. Our food program is focused and thoughtful, designed to complement our wine list. Our kitchen is fully open to the dining room, and we operate as one collaborative service team.
