What a great find this bar is! We have seen 3 different bands in 2 days.. you MUST book a table when they have live music or you will be turned away.. Huge shout out to Ollie! He runs a tight ship very well! Juggling constantly yet keeping everyone happy. Just have to mention Sethu too! What a character..serving drinks to tables, always with a smile. All the staff were very efficient and friendly.. .grear decor... great bands going in to play.. Cant recommend highly enough!

Lovely little gem in Rye, definitely recommend going on a night when there is live music. Table service so the waitresses bring your drinks to you and you can just sit back and enjoy the music. Really great little find

First time here. Went for drinks with friends. Quite a compact venue but the atmosphere was excellent. Good choice of wines. Cocktail choice is limited to only a choice of 6 or 7 and were either whiskey or gin based. We didn't have food so can't give review on that side. Would go back. Beware ladies arriving in heels, the entrance is on quite a steep side road made of cobbles and bricks. Might be tricky after a few wines.

Chill place that has live music every day. Wine by the glass but the full list is much longer. The music isn't super loud but keeps the place lively.

We held our evening wedding reception at the grapevine. from start to finish, Oliver and his team were amazing, planning was seamless, nothing too much trouble. Oliver and his team worked to design our own cocktail and drinks menu, table service impeccable, live music was great. Our guests were impressed and raved about the evening and the venu is super cool. we had a fantastic time....thanks Oliver and Team from Tara and Glenn, Dec 2023

what an amazing experience, we came up from London on the Friday and I wanted to be sure to visit here lol. although we made a booking prior it was really full and tables was at a minimum - but a lovely couple from Bury St Edmunds was welcoming and allowed us to sit with them (always find a friend for life in random places lol) The wine was amazing so was the cocktails - the woman that was performing as well (forgot her name but I posted the video) you are amazing!! many thanks guys 11/10

Our visit to the Grapevine Champagne and Jazz Bar was definitely an example of the Curates Egg - good in parts. The venue was beautiful, the decor was tasteful, the staff were friendly, and Victoria Bass, the jazz singer, was utterly fantastic. Sounds good, eh? Now we come to the not-so-good parts, and they were very not-so-good, and made us reluctant to return. It was a very cold evening, so we wanted to start the visit with a cup of coffee - they don't do coffee! Ok, we thought, let's just have dinner - the chef had resigned and all they could offer were crisps or olives - so they don't do dinner either! Not exactly what we had in mind. Surely someone could have found a local cook or cookery student to put together, on an interim basis, a platter of cheeses and/or meats for hungry customers, possibly garnished with the odd sprig of celery. In order to ensure a table, we had to pay £25 booking fee on the website for the two of us. However, if you just walk in off the street, you don't have to pay anything. We live over an hour's drive away, so didn't want to take the risk of having nowhere to sit. I understand that this charge is to prevent no-shows for a booked table, but it would achieve a better outcome if they partially or fully offset that fee against the cost of initial drinks or food. They would still deter no-shows. So effectively there is an entry fee of £12.50 per person, if you aren't local. On the subject of drinks, it would be nice to have non-alcoholic ones detailed on the drinks list, rather than expecting the servers to try and remember what was available. Worst of all, having only one unisex lavatory cubicle, it would be nice if it was regularly checked for cleanliness, and the floor, toilet seat, and porcelain not left sticky with poorly-aimed urine. A wonderful singer, and a fabulous venue - potentially a lovely and romantic evening, but little attention or thought seems to have been given to the needs of the average customer. Shame!

Nice wine bar with music. Good atmosphere and guys doing covers on guitar and bass were very good. We just stopped in for one drink and it was very busy so service was slow, that was fine all an all good venue but for one thing. How can one drink a vodka martini cost £17. Seems a bit off the scale. Won't go again I think..or just buy two beers.

I have been here several times and on all occasions there has been a great atmosphere. On our last visit there wasn’t a Live musician however that didn’t affect the ambiance as music still played through the speakers. There’s a huge variety of wines to choose from. The staff are very friendly and recommended some great wines. Will be returning every time I’m in rye… and so should you!

Follow Mr & Mrs R on TikTok. Hidden gem. A venue you may well think maybe I can’t get in because it is primarily a members club. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you love live music, beautiful wines and a wonderful atmosphere, then this is the place for you. But you won’t know this unless you try for yourself. I tried and was well rewarded with a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Long my it prosper and I look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

I don't think food is available? But it was a treat for my birthday and I loved the decor and intimate atmosphere. The wine we chose was very nice and the musicians were excellent that we saw on the Sunday evening. The only negative comment was the toilet facilities, only one for all and very basic compared to the rest of the club. I would definitely go again (for a treat) and in the summer to see if noise of customers changes the ambience.

Hubby and I visited here after googling evening entertainment in Rye. They have live music every evening and we were entertained by Moss Casa. The evening was going well until a waitress dropped a bottle of bubbly whilst trying to open it, and the drink went all over me and in my right eye. My husband who is always a ‘glass half full’ kind of guy said it could have been worse - it could have been the cork instead. We were given 20% off our drinks’ order by way of an apology. Apart from that incident, we had a good night. I danced, sang and enjoyed the ambience. Definitely worth a visit when in Rye.

Great little bar in Rye with music every night and no entry or cover charge. The music is mostly jazz or jazzy and can vary from night to night - we saw an excellent trio one night and a very average singer on another. But the atmosphere is great - really feels like an old fashioned jazz club. Limited drinks menu - a good variety of wines, champagnes and cocktails but that's it.

Lovely selection of drinks and good ambience. Really friendly and knowledgeable waiter. Slight downer on our experience because I asked if vaping was permitted having seen women on another table vaping, was told it is fine, then told off quite... sternly by a different member of staff. Slightly embarrassing even though I had no intention of rule-breaking.

Have been here several times before and always enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience. Live music and superb decoration. Tonight I was amazed to find that when I asked for a negroni I could not have one because it was Tuesday and cocktails are not served until Thursday!!!! An empty bar cannot make a simple aperitif midweek? The staff are always excellent and our waiter tonight was no exception, but come on, I expect better from such a professional place.

Our second visit to the Grapevine and it did not disappoint, all the staff are friendly and professional and the atmosphere is lovely and relaxed we had cheese and charcuterie boards which were delicious and whoever makes the cocktails certainly knows what they are doing. The live entertainment was provided by ‘Moss’ a fantastic singer/musician, would definitely make a point of going back next time he is performing there.

The Pilgrims Rest is a wonderful venue. I visited years ago when it was a tea room and was so excited when I found out it was now a wedding venue. My partner and I just had our wedding here and it was the most perfect day. Waverley and Amy were everything you could ask for, facilitating viewings, answering big and small questions, and making sure everything ran seamlessly on the day: having people you can trust is so important on such a huge occasion. The venue is stunning, and the pre decorated areas are beautiful, with flexibility in style. Access the day before for decorating and run-throughs and the following day for collection also takes a large weight off your shoulders. It’s so nice to know you picked the absolute right venue for your wedding and would not hesitate to recommend it wholeheartedly.
