Coravin Wine & Bubbles Bar in City of London, Westminster

First visit and it's tucked away in a quaint little back street alleyway with a few tables outside. Great selection of wines by the glass and a small choice of cheeses/charcuterie to order as well. We sat outside in mid December with a small heater overhead and it was fine. Staff were a little pushy on the food menu but overall a good experience and will probably go back.

As indicated, the place is quaint, the interior is too tight with no spacing between tables. However, this can be overlooked by someone not too concerned about catching covid. The reason I’m giving this establishment one star is the rather impolite service by the manager. We ordered to glasses of a rather expensive wine. Instead of doing the customary protocol of pouring the wine for the customer to see, he simply brought two glasses already filled with the wine. This is never done, especially when ordering a pricey wine. What’s worse, instead of apologizing and rectifying it, he defended his actions and even refused to show us the bottle. If choosing to visit this place, be careful and insist the wine is poured at your table, as you are entitled to. Thank you.

Loved it! Amazing choice of wine by the glass, possible thanks to the 'Coravin' system. The wines we tried were superb; the only 'difficulty' being which ones to opt for from such an incredible wine list. Given the Mayfair location, the prices weren't unreasonable, and you have the chance to try a glass of something special without having to buy a bottle. Staff were friendly and approachable; nothing was too much trouble for them. They have a "hidden" 'indoor garden' room, which would make a really quirky meeting place with friends. It deserves to do well. Bring on our second visit!
