There is nothing like a good cellar to have a wine bar and this one certainly meets that particular requirement. Tucked away down the backstreets near Cannon Street station, one can easily lose oneself among alcoves beneath the dimly lit brick arches and it is all rather cosy, a bit like the downstairs of the Olde Cheshire Cheese. They take bookings for all or part of the premises and it is probably good for leaving dos and functions. They do sell bottled beers at a price (£3.50 for a bottle of Pride) and whilst I am not really a wine bar person, I could happily while away some time here if my pocket would allow it. Friendly bar staff but as we were the only customers at the time (it was pretty late and this was the only place still open) I can't speak for the customer base or how busy it gets.
