Frame Lounge: Chelsea Gallery HH

Minimalist wine bar on West 26th, tucked between gallery spaces on the Chelsea art circuit. $10 wines and $8 beer Mon–Fri 5–7pm, the go-to spot for opening-night post-drinks.

Frame is a minimalist wine bar tucked between gallery spaces on West 26th Street, one of the only bars that genuinely integrates the Chelsea gallery circuit into its identity. The happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 5 to 7pm with $10 wine pours and $8 beer. The post-opening crowd on Thursdays is the neighborhood's most concentrated mix of artists, collectors, and gallerists. A glass of natural wine here bookends an evening on the gallery circuit perfectly.
