Le Plongeoir is described as a laid back, lively wine bar with a pool table at the center and a casual, sociable vibe, where a solid wine list and reasonable prices accompany friendly, knowledgeable staff; reviews highlight the welcoming atmosphere and the spot as a great choice for drinks with friends, though some experiences mention uneven service or a tendency for staff to chat with others rather than attend to guests. The overall character is that of a charming, unpretentious dive bar rather than a formal dining place, appealing to wine lovers and casual revelers who enjoy a relaxed night out; music levels are noted as lively, restrooms reportedly do not play music, but other spaces can have music loud enough to identify songs, contributing to the fun bar scene.View restaurant profile
