Visited 10/12/25. Visited previously as Ganymede on 09/05/23.

A single hand pump dispensing Butty Bach. Keg offering was Guinness, Estrella Galicia, Double Diamond and Level Head IPA.

Long narrow bare boarded bar & restaurant. The bar area is at the front with the bar counter on the right-hand wall just before the bar becomes the restaurant. There are a couple of tall stools at the front short side of the bar counter. A leather banquette in the front window serving a regular table and then a couple of wall-mounted tall tables with tall stools on the right-hand wall in front of the bar counter. Another regular table in the middle of the floor area then some tall tables down the left-hand wall with tall, backed stools before a drinking ledge with the same tall stools opposite the bar counter. Nice lighting, no screens and a low 60’s pop soundtrack. Walls are bare brick and the Xmas decs quite modest in an area where most premises I passed were overdecorated.

ORIGINAL REVIEW July 2016.
A very pleasing Georgian street corner exterior,this is an upmarket Wine Bar & Restaurant and should never be mistaken for a pub.The interior splits into a wine bar at the front with bar stools and some unreserved seating,while further back is a restaurant,long featured in the Good Food Guide with high quality cooking at prices to match.You can easily burn through at least £50 per person,but the dining experience and service is professional and very good.
The wine bar features a high quality wine list ,many by the glass,cocktails and a few bottled beers with 500cl Purity Mad Goose the best option.No draught.Bar meals available throughout the lunchtime and evening food services times.
Although very close to Victoria Coach Station,if you were to dive in here for a refreshing pint after your journey,you might question why it's listed on this site,but at least you can just pop in for something to drink and a place to read the paper.

UPDATE
A change of name and a change of offering,there are drinking tables outside,while the first section inside is a lounge affair with a mix of small tables around the front window,high tables and chairs and a drinking shelf with stools.The bar sports a single handpump with Wye Valley Butty Bach on my trip (NBSS 4,served in dimple mug ) together with standard keg options.Good looking bar snacks are served here,some visible on the bar top starting around £6 and rising quite high.Beyond the bar is the restaurant and the menu looked upmarket with interesting cuts of meat and not ludicrously expensive.
Now more pub like,friendly service but it's pricey with many punters still focussing on the wine by the glass list.

A pleasant wine bar and bistro in the back streets near Victoria, a welcome break from the Taylor Walker genre. The clientele are mostly locals (ie those that live in Belgravia), so prices are high, and there is no real ale. A good place to come for a pleasant shared meal, and it has a nice local feel to it, but I wouldn't include in a crawl due to the lack of good beer.
