Saint James Libations is the story of belonging — told through wine, art, sound, and unapologetic self-expression.
Rooted in the heart of Brooklyn, we are a sanctuary for black and brown creatives - especially those who are queer, eclectic, and discerning. Our space is intentionally designed as a vibrant salon — where culture, community, and curiosity come together over thoughtfully selected offerings through small bites and micro produced wines that reflect the Caribbean and West Africa’s vibrant culture.
We celebrate local artistry, queer and Afro diasporic brilliance, and the beauty of gathering to share our collective experience. Every detail — from the playlist to the glassware — is curated to feel like home away from home..
This is not just a wine bar.
It’s your chosen family’s living room, the after-show hang, the secret scene. It’s where Brooklyn’s most inspiring minds gather to sip, spark, and be seen.
Welcome to Saint James —our sense of place, our belonging
