Review of Grape Street Wine Bar: ? Write your review

Muzak-free venues are rare treasures & the comfortingly retro Grape Street inspires loyalty from local office workers & from those attending nearby theatres. It is all very Felicity Kendall: middle-class, approachable, unthreatening & still perky after all these years. Set over two floors, its longevity is attributable to a mix of affordable, honest grub, engaging wines from Europe & beyond & a fair range of beers; the wide-ranging comfort food doesn’t disappoint, either. Staff are upbeat & will even lend you a book to read if you’re on your tod & looking bored.

Had a wonderfully relaxed lunch in this friendly atmosphere with friends, no rushing, food was fab, wine excellent and the service fantastic ! Grape Street Wine Bar is just the place if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of London's busy streets.

A hidden gem round the back of Covent Garden, Grape Street is a great place to escape the hoardes of tourists and impress people with your local knowledge. The wide variety of sensibly priced wine is the bar's real selling point but the food (modern European) is also good and well worth stopping in for; starters, mains and home made desserts are all at a set price (eg. mains at £6.95) and portions plentiful. There is also a daily specials boards and a good choice of cheese for those that want to graze and drink. The use of the waxed paper tablecloths do seem unnecessary and give the place a less sophisticated air…but maybe this adds to the charm?
