By Gate B in Terminal B, 646 Wine Bar is one of the few spots at LGA built around wine and small plates.
Post-security in Terminal B, 646 Wine Bar gives you a sit-down wine list instead of another burger counter. Hours vary with Terminal B traffic, but it typically opens by the morning rush and runs into the late evening bank of departures. Expect airport pricing: glasses often land in the $14–20 range, with bottles well above that. If you have a delayed flight out of B, this is the place people mention when they say they “waited it out with a glass.”
The menu leans on cheese and charcuterie plates plus a few small bites, so think snacks, not full dinner. Reviews call out the cheese plate and meat board as the safest plays alongside a glass of red or a cold white. Portions run on the modest side for the price, which is standard Terminal B behavior. If you want a real meal, you’re better off hitting one of the larger sit-down spots in the same terminal and using 646 only for a pre-flight drink.
Regulars treat 646 as a quick one-glass stop: a single pour and one plate before heading back toward gates B4–B8. Some business travelers use it as a last‑minute meeting point because it tends to be quieter than the central food court and main concourse seating. You can usually hear a phone call without shouting over the boarding announcements from ten other gates. It’s better for a 30–45 minute pause than a full work session.
Watch out for the two big complaints: high prices compared with pour size, and slow service. Multiple reviews mention waiting 10–20 minutes for a check even when there are fewer than five occupied tables. Build that into your timing if your boarding pass says Group 1 at B6. Tip: sit at the bar instead of a far table; it’s easier to flag someone down when you’re ready to sprint to your gate.
