The wines are overpriced (considering the owner gets her wines from Waitrose ...), the atmosphere within the bar is deader than a funeral (mostly just old racist & sexist bankers who regularly drink & eat there) & the service is atrociously slow. I & several guests were waiting for over an hour for our fries. Not to mention, the place is rat-invested as I found rat droppings under the toilet and even under our table. Additionally, on their menus they "Service charge at customer's discretion", which usually means that the owner of that establishment is underpaying their staff, hence the shoddy service. Overall, I would not recommend it in the slightest especially if you're a tourist in London. There are better Fish & Chips places & wine bars in Leadenhall Market than Broker's Wine Bar.

Had the Shepherds pie with a pint of Guinness. Classic pie recipe of ground beef, carrots, onions etc. A bit of red wine in the gravy makes this one stand out in a sea of shepherds pies. It’s London, tons of shepherds pie to be had. A full bar and tons of wine. The bar tender knows his wine. His recommendation for my mate was excellent.

Si tienes prisa, no recomendaría este lugar para una comida. Pero si puede tomarse su tiempo, es un lugar agradable con una vista fabulosa del mercado de Leadenhall. La sopa de calabaza era increíblemente sabrosa y fresca. El personal era amable, aunque un poco abrumado. Consigue una mesa junto a la ventana para observar a la gente.

Un lugar absolutamente agradable para el almuerzo de un cliente (puede conversar sin preocuparse) atendido por un gerente de bar de primera clase, Hollie. La comida es buena.

Qué excelente almuerzo tuvimos en Brokers ayer en Leadenhall Market. La comida era de primera clase y los huevos escocés de haggis de Julie son para morirse! Siempre recibimos un espléndido servicio y ayer no fue una excepción. Veronica y el equipo siempre hacen un esfuerzo adicional. Nos cuidaron muy bien, así que gracias a todos por hacer que sea un día estupendo.

Been passing Brokers for many years and didn't know it was there. We visited on a last night because we heard the music in the market. It is a narrow, very long bar with a diverse mix of ages and types of people, there are those you would expect to see, city workers just come out of the office, some tourists and even a couple of hipsters. Everything is as you would expect from a City of London Wine bar except the atmosphere. There is a guitarist with a list of songs that you can make requests from, people dancing and singing. When we first walked in we thought we were crashing a private party as many of the customers greeted us. Wine is good and prices OK. Highly reccomended!

Attended a corporate function here which had been pre booked with limited menu choices to make it easier for the venue. Sat down for lunch before 1pm and was served main course at just before 3pm. others had to wait longer. there were 48 for lunch and the owner served everyone himself - no other staff. we had to get up and help to speed things up! Food was OK and the normal menu was not available so cannot comment.

Oh dear oh dear. What has happened to this place? Hilarious lunch which, luckily, my guests saw the funny side of too. Almost completely empty at lunchtime. Below average food, warm coke, pedestrian service (although perfectly friendly). Best give it a miss in future. A real shame.

As a wine bar, I would have expected a decent house Malbec and Rioja, not so. Food maybe ok but it is rare we leave wine. Just came from a daveys pub down the road which was excellent. Sorry just saying how we see it.

Located in the Leadenhall Market, it's a charming place with a very kind waiter. Food is British and straight to the point (your order a sausage baguette, you have a sausage + a baguette).

Comer en una segunda planta del Leadenhall Market y junto a la ventana es todo un privilegio. El sitio es especialmente bonito en Navidad, pero aunque no lo fuese merece mucho la pena conocerlo. En este restaurante puedes disfrutar de una comida inglesa típica de muy buena calidad. En nuestro caso pedimos Scotts eggs, riquísimos. Salmón ahumado que junto al pan que ponen entra solo. Fish and chips y unas salchichas con una salsa muy rica. Para volver sin duda aunque solamente fuese por disfrutar del ambiente de la city y del mercado. Unas 25£ cada comensal (en nuestro caso eramos tres y lo compartimos todo).

Got to say a massive thank you to this bar. I have been using it for many years when in London and have put on several events. The Staff and facilities are great but the welcome you are given is incredible. I have use the venue to launch my DVD and also for filming but last Thursday the 9th February I held an investment launch and it was a great success. I have also eaten here several times and they have a varied selection along with a great wine list I recommend this place 100%

We stopped here for a late lunch after 15:00. Barman was very helpful and pleasant and whilst he had to check if the kitchen was still serving, we were able to order food. I had a bitburger beer and wife a small wine, both £4.95. We ordered food, wife a scampi @ £14.75 and I had Chilli at the same price. Scampi was fine and the chilli did have a kick to it. Food was piping hot, well prepared, presented and was good. It is a funny little establishment when compared with the larger bars on the ground floor, but it is in the historic Leadenhall Market, great service, recommended.

I went for one drink and stayed for the whole evening. The bar has a lovely view over Leadenhall Market and Anthony (the manager) is super friendly. I would definitely recommend this wine bar.

I love this place, Tone the barman is friendliest I've ever met. He always accommodates our needs. We can play all the music we want and all the usual clientele are happy and loving it.

Qué gran lugar! Bar muy tradicional vino con una buena selección de vinos. El personal era muy atento, siempre dispuesto a servir. La música de fondo es sin duda en el fondo y no tiene dificultad para tener una conversación. El menú es muy aceptable y uno no se siente hambriento después de una comida! Me hubiera permitido recomendamos ese establecimiento.

Visited for lunch with a couple of friends after many years absence and was delighted with the friendly reception, excellent paella and good wine. Very comfortable all round with views over Leadenhall Market, in itself a delight. Will visit again soon, I hope.

Con la mayoría de bares de vino siendo en los sótanos es un placer sentarse en un lugar tan claros y brillantes. Buena comida, personal amable y muy concurrido, así que reserva rara vez para el almuerzo no es esencial.

Brokers es un lugar para reunirse con amigos, para las reuniones de negocios o para íntimo Tete a tetes y le da la bienvenida con los brazos abiertos tan pronto como entras en el hotel. El ambiente es cálido y acogedor, el personal del bar es muy simpático y sonriente y la jukebox le proporcionará entenderá aleatorio canción de un artista que te puedas imaginar. Muchos una noche se ha gastado aquí con buenos amigos y es el lugar perfecto para celebraciones privadas, uno de mis lugares favoritos en la ciudad :)

On entering the bar / restaurant there is a strong smell of cleaning fluid of some description. Food is quite expensive for what it is.

When you go up the stairs at the Leadenhal Market entrance of the Broker's, you don't know what you'll find upstairs. But the surprise is nice. It is a cozy place, with a nice view of the Market and good food.Very old, and you feel like going back in time. the service is not super fast if you are in a hurry to go back to work, but it is OK if you are experiencing a typical London bar/restaurant and enjoying the view.

went for lunch just before Christmas. Whilst all other places in Leadenhall market were full this one was empty: I definitely missed the message.Anyhow, we order a Chablis wine only to be told 5-10 minutes later that it was not available. The waiter offered us a "reserve" of the same wine but the manager (I think he was) stepped in contradicting the waiter and suggesting a complete different one, leaving us confused and with the impression he wanted to push the sales of the second one (Macon Village) rather than satisfying the customer. We asked for some nibbles while waiting for food to accompany the wine but they came with the main course (hamburger) some 45 minutes later, after a gentle complaint and despite being the only customers in the restaurant. Food was average at the best. I will definitely stay away from the place

Fantastic bar hidden away above Leadenhall market. Great atmosphere and away from the crush you get in the market itself. Staff are friendly and attentive, Anthony made sure our glasses were never empty. They only serve food at lunchtimes which I have had before and is of a really good quality. All in all a great find which we will use regularly.

We found this place accidentally walking back from dinner and popped up for a drink. They didn't have what we wanted so upgraded our drinks for the same cost, the staff were friendly, people tipsy and dancing about to the duke box, lovely atmosphere and have made it my mission to come here lots more. Thank you

Went there only as a last resort, and we should have realised why it wasn't fully booked when everything else in Leadenhall Market was. Not sure if the gentleman (not sure that is true) running the bar is the owner or manager, but he was rude and dismissive and clearly not interested in other customers other than the regulars. Very average food, and when we dared mention that the wine was corked (which all 4 of us agreed it was), we were giving a lecture by the clown in the suit, fine if we were in our teens but we are all in our 40's! You have been warned and there are plenty of better venues in Leadenhall Market, a waste of money even if you are on expenses!

This first and second floor bar and restaurant is accessed via steep stairs from Whittington Avenue. A great array of pictures adorn the stair walls and the walls of the first floor bar and restaurant. Draws a loyal clientele. Lunchtimes a full menu that changes on a regular basis is offered. Evenings more a wine bar but with food also available, though a less extensive menu than lunch time. Juke box adds a fun vibe particuarly in the evenings.Staff are super friendly and it is a good place to people watch in the market from the window seats. Good to see an independent business in the market rather than the usual chain pubs bars and restaurants.As with many places in the market only open week days.

More refined than the scrum around the Lamb or New Moon and almost as many stairs as the Swan. Looks like its been painted. Good selection of wines and not overpriced.

Nos hemos alojado durante una semana en el hotel Radisson donde se ubica este lounge y lo cierto es que tiene un ambiente muy agradable. Se puede cenar en él, o simplemente tomar algo, y tiene un horario muy amplio, cosa que se agradece cuando regresas de un día de turismo intensivo por la ciudad. Damos las gracias especialmente a Carlos, por su trato siempre amable y atento, lo que sin duda supone un plus a la hora de decidirse de este lugar.

Quedamos muy impresionados con nuestra visita y, aunque la principal consta de una sola habitación, las historias que le contaron a través de los auriculares personales lo hacen muy interesante. El techo es impresionante y repartidos por todo el Salón hay bolsas de frijoles para que pueda relajarse y maravillarse con las elaboradas pinturas. Pasamos casi 3 horas allí y lo disfrutamos a fondo y su historia. Vale la pena una visita.

Paseando por Londres buscando un lugar para tomar un desayuno adecuado, nos topamos con esta joya de café. La señora más encantadora nos sirvió, nada era demasiado problema, creamos nuestros propios desayunos del menú y estaban deliciosos. Todo servido con una sonrisa y una actitud de nada es demasiado problema. ¡Refrescantemente perfecto!
