Gallagher's at 228 W 52nd St says it opened in 1927 as a speakeasy and became Broadway's first steakhouse after Prohibition ended. The wine menu posted for the New York dining room opens with cocktails, then a "Wines by the glass" page, then a long bottle list led by California Cabernet.
The bottle list runs Champagne and Sparkling, then White Wines (United States, France, Germany, Italy), then Red Wines by country, then Magnum Bottles and Half Bottles. California and Washington Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet blends take up the longest block, from a Stuhlmuller 2022 Alexander Valley at $95 up to a Harlan Estate 2020 at $3,800, with Silver Oak 2020 at $450 and Opus One 2021 at $900 in between. France covers Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, from a Domaine Remejeanne Côtes du Rhône 'Monte Lune' 2024 at $70 to a Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 2009 at $825. Italy runs through the Veneto, Piedmont, Umbria and Tuscany, including a Marchesi di Gresy "Martinenga" Barbaresco 2021 at $145 and a Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2020 at $400. The wine menu is linked on the New York menus page as 06.29.26, so confirm current vintages and prices.
The "Wines by the glass" page posts 22 wines: 3 sparkling, 8 white and rosé, and 11 red. Prices run from $15 (Zardetto Prosecco, Simi Chardonnay 2023, Bernard et Olivier Coste Rosé 2024) to $40 (Laurent-Perrier Brut NV). Reds sit between $16 and $24: Marques de Riscal Reserva 2021 is $16, Catena Zapata Malbec 2024 is $18, Seghesio Zinfandel 2023 is $18, and Glassblower by Don Sebastiani Napa Cabernet 2023 is $22.
The Bottom Line
Gallagher's opens with a 22-wine glass list and backs it with a bottle list built on Napa and Sonoma Cabernet. Order the $16 Marques de Riscal Reserva by the glass, or the $24 Chateau Haut-Pauillac 2019 if you want Bordeaux, and pair the $95 Stuhlmuller Cabernet, the lowest-priced full-size Cabernet bottle, with the $81 Rib Steak. The New York wine and dinner menus are linked as 06.29.26, so confirm availability and prices. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups.
Midtown · New York · French Brasserie
La Grande Boucherie earns its place as a reliable stop for wine in Midtown, especially if you're leaning French. The glass list is genuinely wide and has some smart picks buried in it — the Fleurie and the Wiemer Riesling both punch above their price points. Markups trend steep as you climb the bottle list, so your money works hardest in the by-the-glass section. If you're here for the brasserie experience, the wine program holds up its end of the deal.

BLT Prime's wine program is glass-only, which limits your options if you came for a big bottle moment, but the pricing is honest and the selection is more thoughtful than most steakhouses bother with. If you're keeping it casual and ordering by the glass, you can drink well here without feeling taken advantage of — and that's not nothing in this city.

The Palm Midtown is not where you'd expect to find Puzelat and Ruth Lewandowski sitting next to each other on a wine list — which is exactly what makes it worth a second look. Six bottles is a short menu, but all six are defensible picks at prices that don't insult you. If you're in the mood to trust the list and not overthink it, this works.

Murray Hill · New York · Classic American Steakhouse
Wolfgang's is a reliable steakhouse wine experience in the sense that you know exactly what you're getting: a list built around the bottle you already know, priced for the room you're sitting in. If you're here to close a deal over a Porterhouse for Two, the wine list will do its job without embarrassing anyone — but it's not going to surprise you, and it's almost certainly going to cost more than it should. Go in with eyes open and a strong second-choice red in mind.

Zaytinya's wine list is a rare thing in New York: a focused, regionally coherent program that commits hard to Greek and Eastern Mediterranean varieties without making you feel like you need a flashcard to order. The by-the-glass selection alone — 18 options, all under $18, featuring producers most wine lists wouldn't touch — makes this worth visiting even before the food arrives. If you eat here and order a Cabernet, that's on you.

SoHo · New York · Italian
A long bottle list with Italian, Burgundy and Champagne sections, fronted by a 22-wine glass page. For a glass, try the Skerk Orange Wine from Friuli at 25/95, and for a bottle on a lighter budget, the Volpaia Vermentino at 60; upstairs in the café, the labeled list pours Palistorti di Valgiano's orange Tuscan blend at Glass $22. Confirm prices before you order, because the site's Upstairs Café dinner menu and the beverage PDF do not match. This unrated guide covers the posted wine lists, not service, storage or markups.

Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
