The range of draught beers is very good (Leffe is my favourite) and the range of bottled beers from all over the world is huge. But the most unexpected thing is the food - Spanish tapas type dishes with a Moroccan influence. Obviously prepared and cooked on the premises - you simply do not get this sort of food in bars anywhere (never mind Mold). It really is delicious and well priced. This place is well worth a detour.

With this, I let my colleagues decide on the after-work drinking spot; there was nothing I could recommend without the feeling that it was probably a good 30 minute walk away. So, we walked across the road and I was introduced to City Wine Bar, probably one of the only nice looking bars within this area. It's all very rustic, quite small - so I can imagine it being rammed on a Friday - with a really nice atmosphere. Service was a little bit slow, but I took this as an opportunity to take in my surroundings. We had a few glasses of wine, which were very nice for the house choices, and I was told great things about the cocktails and food. If you're in this part of Liverpool for business or pleasure, City Wine Bar is a fine destination.

The cocktails were fabulous too and oh boy I cannot wait to order one, two or maybe more of those! The staff were so welcoming and friendly and it was simply a joy to visit. Admittedly when I first entered the place I did have my doubts, but as the saying goes, you should never judge a book by it's cover! Although the place could be considered rustic, that in itself has a wonderful charm to it and I seriously advise you to take a trip and visit it! You can either try to park close by on the one way street, although then of course you would miss out on trying any of their wonderful cocktails; I strongly recommend the fabulous City Sunset btw! Or if you wish to have a drink, then Moorfields station is close by (just make sure you exit on Old Hall Street, unlike me!) Honestly though; the friendliness, the food (major congrats to the charming chef btw!) was superb, in fact my starter was almost orgasmic and boy does the food have to be excellent to get me to say that! It is a shame that more people have yet to discover this place and although part of me would love to keep this fabulously wonderful place to myself, it is too incredibly good for me to be so selfish. Therefore get yourself down to Old Hall Street and into this place and enjoy great food and smashing drinks!

Oh salut! First time…read moreI walked past this a few weeks ago and saw the enomatic through the window I let out a an actual GASP of excitement. Was pretty excited on the night too, so excited I left my card in the wine machine which made me look like a total amateur. It's much more spacious inside than I had realised, and there are also seats and heaters outside with a great view of the nearby row of traditional pubs with the town hall in the background. I enjoyed trying the various wines (the smallest amount is often £2-3 so you can try a good four wines on a £10 card pre-payment) and could even tell that some of them tasted different, so am basically going to be earning my MW in no time. They also do a few little snacks - my fave baba ghanoush and some rather tasty crisps, although the brown olives tasted too sour for me. Tap water came chilled in a delightful glass bottle. Btw I am not sure there are actually other drinks options here, maybe check that before you go. The staff were efficient and welcoming and I am sure I will be back here. A great companion to hanging ditch and Bakerie in terms of our city's wine bar scene.

Although I now work for an independent wine merchant in Didsbury and am considered a bit of a fussy geek by my friends, I have longed for a good wine bar in Manchester pretty much since I arrived in town over 6 years ago, well before wine was a big thing for me. A few places have attempted it, half-heartedly for some, but none had so far succeeded. Then came Salut wines, first baby business of a lovely couple who like me love good wine and thought it deserved proper representation in the City Centre. An ambitious project that was, not without hurdles. But tenacity paid off and behold, a superb, clean, warm and welcoming wine bar where odd ins once was. Enomatic machines a-go-go, 32 wines are available by the glass at any point in (opening) time. That's 16 whites and rosés and 16 reds. Thanks to these machines you can enjoy a vast variety of wines, all of which are way above your house plonk from most pubs/bars/restaurant. And that's not all. 3 measures are available: 50ml, 125ml and 175 ml. The first one is my favourite. I can play to my heart's content and try a lot of wine before it's time to call it a day. Most wines are between £1.20 and £5 for a glass but you can also try some of the fancier stuff that would NEVER be available by the glass otherwise. Risk-free. Whilst they do not cater, a range of nibbles and tapas plates are available and it's perfectly suitable for a light lunch or diner. Cheese, cured meats and Mediterranean veggie plates, all made with very good ingredients. Music is top notch, not your average lounge "elevator" type nor your bass-boosted frenzy. Blues, jazz, pop, electro... To sum-up, great atmosphere, best wine selection in town, excellent service. The bottle prices to take away are on the steep side of I'm honest but I'll put that down as the location.

At under £13 it was not bad price wise either for a main. The service was top notch, and I warmed to the aesthetics of the place. Well worth a visit I'd say!!!
