Upper West Side: Wine Bar to Open in Former Docks Space in October

The former Docks space on Broadway will become the Upper West Side branch of Academia di Vino, according to General Manger John Fanning, who says the new eatery is scheduled to open in October. The wine bar and eatery already boasts an East Side location at 1031 3rd Ave at 64th Street.

With a restaurant going into the former Docks space, the steady march of drugstores up and down Broadway will be taking a pause.

Habitues of Docks will feel right at home, says Fanning. The layout of the new place will be a nearly identical “but somewhat smaller” version of the East Side locale, he explains.

“That worked for 23 years, so why change it?” remarks West Sider Fanning of the familiar Docks dining room.

There will be a bar, dining room tables and high bar tables. Pizza, pasta, crudo, salumi and other Italian standbys on Academia di Vino’s East Side menu will appear on the West Side version as well.
