If you're looking for a truly unique and authentic wine experience this is the place. Tony, the owner, is so proud of his store and so passionate about his wine and produce. Everything is fresh and of top quality but at reasonable prices. We started with a glass of their lemoncello and grapefruit prosecco. For someone that doesn't really like prosecco, I loved this. We then ordered a charcuterie board (3 choices for £10) served with crackers and a lovely chutney. We had the salami and special black pepper sausage with tunworth cheese. The cheese was outstanding - packed full of flavour and melted in your mouth. The meats too exquisite - the salami was our favourite for sure! We also had a side of bread and olives. The olives were pure buttery goodness! We couldn't get enough! We also ordered the baby squid in tomato sauce - it was tasty but slightly too fishy for us. Still fantastic quality though. I then had a glass of their Italian rose and a glass of their homemade red. Both delicious, the Rose in particular was fresh and just perfect for a summers day. We couldn't have left happier and every mouthful was a pure delight! We'll be back! :)

As we were walking by to enjoy a nice meal at Trattoria Sapori to celebrate our second wedding…read moreanniversary, we noticed a new wine shop was open in Newington Green. We saw that they sold bottled beers, as well as some on draught, so we thought we'd enjoy a peek before dinner. We both had a pint, and it was so fresh and lively that it took about 10 minutes to get our pints. The inside is rustic and inviting. It would be a great spot for the pub crawls we put on for a group we lead. They do offer a large selection of wines, as well as some meats and nibbles. They've only been open a short time, but it's a nice venue that I hope gets some attention, and can expand their beer selection as time goes on. It's my understanding that it is also associated with Trattoria Sapori (same ownership), so I believe it'll do quite well. Check it out if you're in the area.

Nestled next to Hackney Downs station, with a big "coffee" sign on the fence, L'Entrepot was a…read morecomplete fluke find for us. The menu has different tapas-style options priced around £7-9 (recommended 2-3 per person) or big plates at £20+. It was a bit out of our price range for a quick Saturday night bite to eat to be honest so we went for the cheeseboard (decent sized portions of six cheeses) and the salami selection. This was more than enough for two, especially as we were allowed unlimited fresh bread which was much appreciated. We sat there in the sunshine for about two hours with some great wine. The service was excellent and the owner even came over to chat to us about the menu and what sort of thing we'd like to see there in the future. It was so good in fact, we made ourselves late for a friend's party by staying to try the (delicious) cocktails. Then I stumbled backwards into ex-t4 and Popworld presenter Miquita Oliver. A good night all round.

Food, for the most point was OK. The food portions were the visible definition of rip off. We…read moreordered a lot of starter / side plates roughly around £10 each. The cheese plate consisted of so little cheese it was 2D, and the meat plate was even less. The cocktails were OK, they had a good Gin Selection. We did order whiskey sours, non of which had egg white. The wine was great, if perhaps again a little slim on the amount, the glass was tiny. The tipping point was when we ordered a plate of bread, as all five of us were still hungry; the waiter arrived with 3 tiny pieces of bread no more then the size of 50 pence coin (which we then divided into five). The waiter was possibly the rudest waiter we had ever encountered, he even referred to the chef as "a crazy person" when we asked about the egg white in the whiskey sours. His exact words were "you can't reason with a crazy person". We also asked the waiter about the portion size, when referring to the meat plate he stated that "the meat was meant to be thin" as if we weren't aware of this. Needless to say the over all experience was bit like being mugged. Don't eat there if A: you are hungry and B: you don't want to pay a bill of more £200 for what seemed like table scraps.

Love this pub that reopened about a year ago, just off Dalston high street and the Balls Pond Road…read more Quite a rough place previously (apparently) it is now a lovely beer filled pub, serving Thai food. Owned by the same guys who have brought us the awesome Pineapple in Kentish Town. The young landlord is a good bloke and offers about half a dozen ales. In a couple of visits this selection (for example Redemption Big Chief, Brewdog 5am Saint and Purity UBU) has kept me from just staying for just one as I had intended. As have random conversations with other people enjoying the place. How easily a quick pint can lead to an evening pleasantly wasted.

Finally made it in for wine and nibbles, and am so happy I did!…read more Our group of 3 found a cozy candlelit table in the back, and order a selection of wines by the glass that were on offer and very reasonably priced, between £4.50-£5.50 per glass. The menu is small but has all the essentials that a wine bar should have- charcuterie and cheese, tapenade, bread olives etc. After one glass we decided to try a bottle, and on recommendation by the staff ordered a lovely red from the cote du Rhone region, which was lush and velvety and fairly priced at £17.50 (plus £5 corkage to drink in). Lovely atmosphere with very friendly and knowledgable staff, great spot for some casual drinks and bites!

Great neighbourhood wine bar. There are lots of well-priced wines that you can buy as takeaway or…read moreyou can drink in for £5 more. All of the wines are excellent value and there is a really interesting range of European focused wines to choose from(mainly French and Italian). They also have a really good lineup of local beers. The staff know everything on the shelves and will guide you in the right direction depending on what you like and budget. They also have wines by the glass that rotate regularly and are around the £4-6 mark. They are now doing a simple but really well-executed menu of food: mainly focused on charcuterie, cheese and different flavoured bruschettas. So similar to what the other wine bars are doing around London but a little bit better. Their burrata is large but disappears very quickly from the table... All of their cured meats are delicious too. If you need to get out of the house in the morning it's a great place to read a book/newspaper and enjoy a beautiful Italian roast coffee and some sourdough toast. You can also buy this bread to takeaway.

If I ever came back this way, I would definitely stop in again!

Having walked pass this establishment since it opened and wondered what it was all about, I finally…read moremade it there! Smallish space so no standing around or loitering by the bar. Go in and grab a seat and the waiting staff are soon with you with a menu, an explanation and a small refreshing shot to get the tastebuds awoken. I was confused trying to order from the cocktail list as it does not list the alcohol. The explanation for this is not that they are really mocktails but, that they don't list this detail so as not to put the customer off with them thinking they won't order it because they don't like gin for example. OK, kinda fair point as this can drive the drink selection. They informed us that they brew their wine/beer/stout on site so, you won't find the usual names listed and they are bough by the bottle. That being said, the bottles are small e.g. 100ml / 200ml so basically a glass or so. I opted for sorrel sparkling wine. This was fruit and tasty. Also sampling the stout - home brewed and rather strong 8+% volume. I think alcohol content of the drinks you are ordering are worth taking note of!! They have a small food selection to help soak up and accompany your drinks but this isn't the place to come and have your dinner! Waiting staff were really friendly and informative. Bathroom facilities were nice and clean (and unisex!). With lovely fancy creams and soaps to enjoy! It seems a nice little place to come to for a natter and a drink and to have something a little more unusual than the usual pub or wine bar offerings.
