Lacking in atmosphere, expensive wine & food - the meat/cheese sharing board most definitely not value for money. Sadly I can not recommend this wine bar.

Great food, service and venue. Impressed by the wine recommendations. Owner front and center ensuring quality service, food and drink. Looking forward to returning! Also, recomend trying the absinthe bar, had some cocktails delivered up from there which were excellent.

The food and the wine were lovely, however for a limited menu there were a couple of things they didn’t have. The staff weren’t the most attentive, we had to go to the bar for another bottle of wine. I really enjoyed the live singers, they created a lovely atmosphere, however one guy was very loud, felt we had to shout to hear each other over him but then that felt rude. But did enjoy and would go back£

Amazing food, great music, cool artwork, awesome staff, delicious cocktails. There wasn't a single thing we didn't enjoy about our visit. Somehow they’ve managed to get everything just right in Faffless. It’s cool without trying to be cool. Will be going back many times for sure, especially when the downstairs bar opens.

First things first - the food was excellent! On that basis alone we will be returning. Slightly surprised to have everything we ordered delivered to the table at the same time but now understand the 'faffless' nature of this (not an issue for us going forward). Selection of wines and beers was excellent too and at a range of quality and prices to suit most. Really enjoyed our quaff (even got a birthday glass as an intro!!) Service was very casual - but in a good way (we liked that!). What was a bit of a 'faff' was towels run out in the basket of the towels with no alternative to dry hands. Paper towel dispenser or hand dryers would actually be faffless (no-one is going to miss the hand towels basket). One other minor gripe - no itemised receipt available and the promised e-mailed one never arrived. Overall a top drawer dining experience that we will be repeating. Good luck to Craig and his gang!
