Harden's survey result
Summary
“No surprise that the focus is on the wine” – “a huge and varied list, with loads of wines by the glass” and “many you’ve never heard of, to challenge your taste buds” – at these “modern/industrial” bars, of which the King’s Cross and new Bloomberg branches attract most comment (Soho closed this year). “Don’t forget the food though”; “it may play second fiddle” but is “simple and satisfying”.
Summary
Considering that the “simple” fare is “incidental” to the “terrific selection of wines at reasonable prices”, the cooking is “surprisingly good” and “reasonably priced” at these “bustling” and extremely popular modern watering holes.
Summary
“One of the best and most unusual wine selections in London” underpins the high popularity of these “appealing” modern haunts (whose “smart” King’s Cross branch attracts most mention). The “unfussy” food? – “nothing too thrilling, but competent”.
Summary
The “well-curated” list of “fantastic”, “eclectic” wines by the glass underpins the major success of these “buzzing” modern wine bars (but its bistro fare is “very sound” too). The new King’s Cross branch is “a bit hangar-like” but most reporters give it “three cheers”. Top Tip – “Magic Monday, with wines sold at shop prices”.
