Reviews
5 stars all round! What an amazing experience on the edge of Leicester Square. We felt that we had stepped into an underground cellar with lovely food, amazing wine and personalised service. Sitting in the booth under the arch topped off a great stop after a day full of sightseeing!
Great little wine bar, very understated, almost didnt spot it as we walked past. We were welcomed in, even though we had not booked. Lovely atmosphere place down the spiral staircase.
We had a house rose bottle and cheese and crackers which was really good.
Definitely recommend!
Cremant de Loire, Opus des Marquets, plus something Lebanese and gorgeous.
Knowledgeable and friendly front of house staff, prompt excellent food.
A little too noisy for my tastes, do you really need that canned music? Sigh.
Would have stayed for pud but for the clamour 👌🤜🤛🙏🌹
Nice place!! Highly recommended if you want to have wine or cheeses. Prices are a little bit high for a glass of wine I would say but still a good place to go once in a while.
The Cork & Bottle is a quirky little place with real character. Located on Cranbourn Street just off Leicester Square you enter and immediately go down the twisty stairs. The layout is an eclectic mix of rooms and tiny alcoves that I believe used to be prison cells. A selections of wines and cheeses to choose from you can relax in the cosy atmosphere and chat to friends at your leisure. Worth a visit if you are in the area.
Thank you to my new friend Maggie that I met in London, for telling me about this great little wine bar. Located in Leicester Square, walk downstairs to this landmark featuring over 300 wines, a nice selection of cheese and an eclectic menu. Perfect place to chill with a glass of wine. Service was great, Ben took good care of us.
Love this place! It’s been around for 51 years; it’s gotta be doing something right! I’ve been coming here since 2019 and it is cozy with 7-8 bar stools and many 2, 4 top tables plus a cute cave with its own table - great way to celebrate. (Be ready for the narrow staircase from Leicester Sq downstairs to the restaurant/bar.) so happy to have found this place!
Blink and you miss it, you enter the Cork & Bottle via a single doorway and down a spiral staircase, set amongst all the lights and madness of Leicester Square. It's unexpectedness adds to its charm. This is a retro classic. It opened in 1971 and you sense not much has changed since (apart from the prices, alas). The endless wonders of their wine list cater for all tastes. However at £9.20 a glass for the cheapest house wine, it isn't so kind to pockets. I had the chicken schnitzel - very tasty, although served with a rather sad egg salad. Authentically 70s one supposes. Perhaps the extensive cheese list is a safer option. Come for the wine and the excellent atmosphere. Long live a London classic.
