E TA left this review about Sadlers Wine Bar
Previously The Piano Bar, now under new management and a new name. It’s still a bistro, though, and there is no longer any real ale or cider available. All the tables inside are laid for diners, though it’s possible to sit comfortably on the chunky wooden furniture in the mews outside, part of which is covered, when the weather allows. Cruzcampo, Thatcher’s Gold and Butcombe Tall Tales were available from the keg taps. The staff were every pleasant, happy to spend time chatting with us, and it was a good place to sit while avoiding the tourists. Worth stopping for a decent lunch if you don’t mind the lack of ale.

Further to Dave's review draught is no longer an option here and it's bottles only after an attempted visit today. It was also fully laid up for food to so if in the area one to stay clear of.

A trendy looking bar down a small alleyway just off of Sadler Street. In spite of it being called a café, there’s a range of drinks on the bar and you’re quite welcome to just pop in for a pint. In fact the friendly barman was happy to serve us even though they had officially shut for the afternoon.
Inside it’s all striped wooden flooring, chocolate leather cladding and some trendy high backed chairs like you might expect in a smart restaurant. Even a baby grand piano which I suppose is inevitable given the bar’s name. Outside though there’s some informal decking which is a pleasant enough spot, although there’s only room for three or four tables.
The solitary beer on tap was Butcombe, and the cider was Thatcher’s Gold.
