Strongers . left this review about The Wine Vaults
There’s a flagstone walkway up the centre of the Wine Vaults from which multiple areas can be accessed. The serving counter up the right-hand wall is split in two by a central beer shelf, the front bar is laminate and the rear has a tiled floor. Carling and premium keg products were available and one of the four hand pumps was in use drawing Tribute. Laminate floored seating is found to the left of the bar area and there’s a room in the right rear with some high banquettes. Out the back is a popular well-kempt split level patio that was busier than the actual pub. There’s lots going on here, but I didn’t really settle and drinking Tribute on a long pub crawl isn’t a great idea so I had to make do with Carling.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Wine Vaults
A bit of a strange one, this, being a right mix of traditional and modern throughout the jumbled arrangement of various rooms beyond the front bar. Also features a rear patio area. Music at more than background level, and live events advertised. Greene King IPA and Belhaven Grand Slam (£4.00) available from two of three handpumps.

Old Boots left this review about The Wine Vaults
A multispace multiroom bar with slightly different feels in each. There's the modern bar with counter at the front then other modernish / oldish spaces beyond including a comfy sofa room with library wallpaper as described by Quinno. Three pulls, one with an own label, Hooky and a Greene King special. Cocktails wines and spirits as well as utility kegs are also available. Odd mix of trendy youths drinking cocktails/spirits and lager drinking middle aged farts on my visit although I was drinking Hooky and it wasn't bad. It's ok as a bar though.
