This is the perfect place to go if you're a little tired of clubbing but still want to go out and have a good time. The place is dimly lit with popular Slavic music (and not to mention beautiful Slavic people). The prices for drinks are reasonable and the bar tenders are very friendly.

I've passed on DiWine many times dismissing it as just a fancy wine-sipping eatery. But a few days ago while my friends and I were walking down 31st Ave, we heard a guy singing in DiWine and stopped to listen. We had other plans but we liked this guy's voice and every single song he was performing so we decided to stay there for a little while. We ended up staying there for the eve with some quality cocktails and tasty appetizers. Totally unplanned, totally awesome!
The next day we bragged about it to a few other friends and ended up at DiWine again the next night to check this guy out. He floored us with his voice, repertoire, and sound overall. We noticed that he has somewhat of a following so we asked him if he has his own cd. We're surprised that he doesn't have a record deal because he truly sounds (and looks) like a pro!
He performs Fridays and Saturday nights. Kudos to the owner of DiWine for finding such a talent. So even if you're not big on wine, this place has an awesome live act, performing quality classic and contemporary rock. Go check it out!
Pros: music, decor, food, service
Cons: none

So happy I found Diwine. This place is great. The food was good, but the best part for me was the variety of wines to try. My girlfriends and went the other night, we enjoyed the food, the music and of course the wine. The staff was so knowledgeable also with their recommendations of what to try. I can't wait to go back with my boyfriend as its also a romantic little joint.
Pros: variety of wines

Diwine is a hidden gem of a wine bar/restaurant/lounge in Astoria. Even though it's only a block off Steinway, it truly feels a world away from the typical Astoria places. The decor is beautiful; cozy and intimate, even the bathroom was pretty, you can tell someone put a lot of thought into the details. They have a great selection of wines by the glass. I tried the Mark West Pinot Noir and thought it went really nicely with my brick oven pizza. My friend had short ribs and some kind of Shiraz and said they were excellent. I look forward to going back and trying some other items on the menu, everything sounded delicious. The staff was helpful and gave the place a laid-back vibe, they really let us relax and take our time. I would say this would be a great place for a date or to meet up with the girls and chat while sipping wine.
Pros: Ambiance, Food, Wine List
Cons: You may walk right by and not see it

BEST FOOD IN TOWN! Everyone should try Diwine.It is quite possibly the prettiest,coziest place in Astoria.The staff is friendly and attentive yet not overwhelming,food more than excellent starting from focacca they serve at first and on.And there is also live music on weekends,you should hear this guy play and sing.Nice touch to an already great ambience.
