The Cellar Wine Bar Overview
“If you like the wine, then it’s a good wine,” says Caroline O’Brien, assistant manager at The Cellar Wine Bar in Moorgate, summarizing the outlook at the dark but friendly venue.
Decorated with chunky wooden benches, vintage lamp shades and small chrome tables there is a slight suggestion of Asian minimalism that adds mystery to this sexy wine bar. The cavernous atmosphere and light background music provide for great after work conversation.
At first, The Cellar could come off as slightly intimidating, however one word with a staff member you are immediately at ease. There’s no doubt that this place is relaxing.
The Cellar offers eighty wines, with forty five available by the glass. Whether you are a connoisseur of fine French vintages or a late night offie regular, The Cellar team strive to find the bottle or glass that perfectly suits your taste. Tasting is encouraged and impromptu lessons are offered for the inexperienced.
In addition to the great wines and charming atmosphere, the Cellar’s menu offers a selection of gourmet sandwiches, crisp salads and bite platters to munch on. Ambience lightens up in the day when The Cellar opens to offer quality lunches with a faster paced vibe. We couldn’t get enough of the roast fennel and sun dried tomato salad, decorated with pumpkin seeds and a sesame/lime dressing, it’s a healthy and delicious choice. The Dutch Gouda sandwich made us go ‘mmmm’; although it might not be there when you go because the menu is altered each week to keep things diverse.
The Cellar is open from Monday to Friday for lunch until 11pm. Saturday’s are open for private hire only. Thursdays are the big night when regulars can’t wait until the weekend to wile out wine. Pricing reflects the quality of the food and service, which we found flawless. (Updated 10/04/2006)
