What People Are Saying About London Wine Bar
Featured Review

The Scene – Beffiting its place in history as the first wine bar in the country, this historic establishment maintains a dusty, pre-gourmand air. The old-school atmosphere evokes a British pub, with high-backed booths, out-of-fashion wallpaper and dark wood througout. The mostly after-work crowd, comfy in jeans and T-shirts, hang by the bar or luxuriates in plush leather booths. Friendly bartenders can give knowledgeable recommendations on request. – – The Draw – The limited wine list offers a mostly California selection of well-known producers. Even amateur wine…

Low-key is accurate
by skaplansears at Citysearch
Very nice place to get a couple bottles of wine at below restaurant prices while enjoying mediocre food and excellent conversation.
- Pros: Wine List, Olives, Quiet
- Cons: Mediocre Food, Cheese Cubes?

Great Wine List
by pheinecke at Citysearch
The write-up on this does not do justice to the wine list. In addition to a wine by the glass list of 20 or so wines (often from small producers) there is a list of several hundred bottle including many older vintages from well-respected vitners. BTW, the atmosphere is more pub like than a swank wine bar.
- Pros: location, wine list

Great little treasure in the downtown area. I took my ma here and we had a blast! Would highly recommend for some midweek unwind.
