Covent Garden is a mass of wine bars, and it’s a mixed selection, so you want to choose the right one. Don't worry, we've done the spade work. Quiet elegance, with a couple of glasses of delicious wine, and some rather tasty snacks.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
We've all been there. Wandering aimlessly about, unable to decide whether to risk the crush in the theatre bar, or take pot luck, never a great idea in the West End.
Whether you’re out for a treat or just meeting a friend after work, it’s nice to have a destination. The Indytute have put together a couple of wine bar specials. Both bars are in the heart of Covent Garden, so if you’re going to the theatre you can settle in and absolutely not panic about timings. If you are meeting a friend, you can be happy in the knowledge that everything about these two wine bars from the staff to the eats is a pleasure.
TELL ME MORE
There are two options to choose from. One offers more substantial eats, while the other is cosy, charming and just opposite The Theatre Royal.
If you want to soak up the West End atmosphere download our free audio tour. Sir Ian McKellen will be your guide as you discover the history of the West End and its theatres, with a voice map to follow - 'All the World's a Stage and all the men and women merely players' - but of course he could read telephone numbers and make them interesting. The walk lasts about 75 mins, so a convivial glass or two of deliciousness at the end will be most welcome.
OPTIONS
