Vino Cellar, a wine bar in Chelsea, closed abruptly this week due to an unresolved lease dispute. The establishment had operated at 210 10th <a href="https://nycrestaurantvoice.com/second-avenue-subway-extension-funding-resumes-after-federal-holdover-over-dei-d-20260416210404/">Avenue</a> for five years.
The <a href="https://nycrestaurantvoice.com/giants-co-owner-steve-tisch-to-transfer-ownership-stake-to-next-generation-20260416211309/">owner</a>, David Reynolds, stated that negotiations with the landlord over rent increases stalled. Staff were notified of the closure on Monday, and the venue remains shuttered.
Patrons expressed disappointment, noting the bar's curated wine list and intimate setting. It is unclear whether the business will seek a new location.
