Seabird, meanwhile, is one of Time Out's best rooftop restaurants in London. The residency will see Seabird feature a select list of natural wines direct from Bar Brutal's own bodega-turned-wine-bar to pair alongside seasonal Spanish plates. Inspired by Brutal's origins, the seasonal menu will feature The Cellar Pardas - Rupestris 2023 (white), Terroir al Límit - Historic 2022 (red) and an Escoda Sanuhuja - Bassotets 2022 (orange) from their five-starred Can Cisa cellar in Barcelona's El Born.

Some wine labels are way more accessible than others, but these demarcations essentially trace the wine's lifecycle from the vineyard to the winery and onto the cellar. Effectively serving as an archive of all the factors, conceptual and concrete, that have influenced the wine's character, with over 10,000 types of grape varietals in existence - and several hundred's worth commonly produced - there really is a major benefit to the imposition of clear-cut categories.

The people behind the now-closed Lord Stanley are opening a fine dining restaurant in Dogpatch, taking over the former Serpentine space.

We'll have natural wine, we'll have wines that have no sulfur added, we'll have chilled reds, you know, all the buzzy' things. But we'll have standards, classics, stalwarts, too, says managing partner Bryan Brick. We'll have a bunch of hazy IPAs, sours and imperial stouts, but we'll also have a great selection of lagers and pilsners, British ales, German beers. We know we can't be everything to everyone, but we like to try!

It's a match made in heaven: Dance-rock band LCD Soundsystem is bringing back a pop-up of frontman James Murphy's acclaimed and very cool natural Williamsburg wine bar, the Four Horsemen, during their upcoming NYC concert residency this late fall, where anybody can be a drunk girl. LCD's 12 shows will take place at Queens venue Knockdown Center in Maspeth at 52-19 Flushing Avenue, at 54th Street in late November and run early to mid-December.

The natural wine bar and pizzeria in the Mission makes grandma-style pies using blemished or surplus vegetables, off cuts of meat, byproducts, and basically any ingredient that would usually end up in the trash. The results are rectangular pies with surprising topping combinations that keep things interesting. The somewhat sweet crust (made from whey and oat flour) with blackened edges might be piled with wilted greens, salmon belly conserva and relish, and pepperoni and ricotta fluff that tastes like whipped cream.

"We opened a pop-up version of [Only The Wild Ones] next to the Butcher's Daughter. It also has a cool selection of vinyl. We wanted to offer something to the community and share our love for natural wine."

"A lot of that food works because you're in Italy and you're in some beautiful city in some beautiful old restaurant... It felt weird being in Brooklyn trying to re-create that."

The Four Horsemen has carved out a niche in Brooklyn’s competitive dining scene with its focus on natural wines and a welcoming atmosphere, appealing to both customers and staff alike.

We weren't perfect, but it wasn't supposed to be,

“Then once we opened, people have just [had] honestly positive, amazing energy, and it's been busy, so that's a good thing,” said Gaga.
