Rhodora Wine Bar

The zero-waste philosophy at this cozy, low-lit wine bar is mostly behind the scenes. Everything is recycled, upcycled or composted, so nothing goes to landfill. The wines, from Europe and California, are natural and from small farms. No single-use plastic is allowed. Snacky items like root vegetable pickles, cheese and She Wolf bread are local, and fish is tinned. The Fort Greene space is ideal for quiet conversation, overseen by a hospitable staff that receives 10 percent of profits on a quarterly basis.
