El Vino The Olde Wine Shades

I went here for some work drinks. Booked a table for 12.
The team was immensely accommodating, provided quick service and were very friendly.
The wine bar is very busy and could be a little too packed at times but it’s indicative of how well liked this place is.
The wine was excellent. I mean why drink wine anywhere else in the city at that point.
What blew my mind the most - the tapas. I will be going back there to eat next time!

Nice old historic architecture inside.
Good customer service provided by staff behind the bar.
It's get very busy after 16.00pm and lot's of customer making reservations in order to have a space.
Location 5 mins walk from bank station.
Good selection of wine 🍷

A great evening, the tapas style food was perfect. We asked for a wine recommendation and the knowledge team helped us pick something that was in our price range and worked with our dinner. Great atmosphere for a city location.

We met a family member for lunch. This is a lovely back street pub. The service was very good. The food was excellent. It's a real gem.

A little history, this pub features the Dickens Room....a small alcove where Charles Dickens did a lot of his writing. You can reserve this room to drink/dine.

This was a lovely pub/restaurant, and we will be back on our next trip to London.

Fantastic ambience. Last of the traditional wine houses. Didn't eat just an excellent glass or two of wine.

Lovely wine bar. Good selection. Relaxed atmosphere.

Very typical British wine bar with a really historic building. Fantastic global selection of wines.

Nice pub to get a drink. Crowded between 6 and 8 pm.

Fantastic little pub with lots of character and charm. The staff are friendly and attentive and were working hard, despite the hot weather. I inadvertently left my laptop behind and they were quick to put it aside safely for me to collect the next day.

If I could give 6 stars, I would!

My party of 7 was warmly welcomed and shown to our table which was in a small semi-private room. The staff made every effort to ensure we were comfortable and checked back on us regularly for help with additional drinks and to confirm we were ready for our next course to be served.

The food was excellent, as was the wine. The service and overall ambiance was the best aspect of our visit. We couldn't have asked for more!

I have rarely been treated as well as this - even in very expensive and posh restaurants. Well done to The Olde Wine Shades!

Hands down the best pub to eat and drink in, in London. Danny, Max and the team are always there to help. Customer service is top notch, the whole team cannot do enough for every customer, and Danny's wine recommendations, based on what you tell him you like are bang on the money. My team and I are regulars here for all of these reasons.

great pub - nice quiet spot for the last drink of the night, lovely selection of drinks, inside decor & nice staff. highly recommended

Nice pub, hidden down a side street. Some decent beers and service is always pretty quick.

Always a pleasure. If it's not the decor or the very friendly staff then it's the fact it's a Davies. No matter what it is I always end up in a Davies without realising and have a great time. Always full of character and good selection of drinks. What's not to love.

Really nice place which focuses more on wines than beers, hence the name. Had a mixed sharing board too. Nicely close to Bank Station too.

Been going here for a couple of years now, mainly lunchtimes, and would thoroughly recommend.

Not a great choice of beers but, after all, it is primarily a wine bar. They are also a wine retailer, at much below the prices to drink on the premises. Also offering a loyalty card, which comes in handy for retail purchases. The Primotivo is a personal favourite.

All of the staff are really friendly and it’s very easy to become a regular. Tried the daily specials on occasion but the tapas are a great choice.

A cosy hideaway, particularly in winter, close to Cannon Street Station - definitely worth a visit.

Booked Smugglers Lane for private party. Service, staff were lovely and professional. Food was delicious too. Ordered food off the main menu, which was tasty and well presented, however the portion size was small. I feel, El Vino should offer a food package for such events. Apart from the slight negative, all 25 of us had a great time. Certainly do it again. Thank you El Vino😁

Fantastic tapas, beer, wine and service. Highly recommend. Ask about the history of the place too. The Dickens room is reputedly where Charles himself used to drink. There a picture to prove it, but no check in on social media!

Delightful, historic, wine bar close to Monument. Extensive range of wines at reasonable prices. Large glasses are 175ml rather than the more usual 250ml found in many pubs. Probably a good thing though! Serves tapas like dishes and some larger dishes.

Good old bar near the river, supposed to be one of the only wooden buildings to survive the great fire of 1666! Good selection of wine and port.
