Located just off Bishopsgate, next door to Liverpool Street
Station, the latest venue from the Humble Grape family is the
perfect for a few post-work drinks or a spot of dinner. Alongside
serving up 30 wines by the glass, with a further 400+ bottles to
purchase for drinking-in or taking-away, the bar and restaurant
offers a menu of seasonal small plates and sharing
platters.
The set over two floors, the 54-cover venue has stayed in
keeping with its sister sites in Battersea,
Islington and off
Fleet Street. Quirky and individual, the interiors are decked
out with shelves and furniture made from reclaimed winemaking
materials and a stunning listed stone wall inside. In reclaiming
and recycling much of their furniture, Humble Grape maintains
the sustainable ethos that extends to everything from their
menus –
which are themselves made from recycled crushed
grapes –
to the wines, the majority of which are biodynamic, organic or from
sustainable vineyards.
Wine novices and aficionados alike can discover the stories
behind every glass, either from the team (who are trained by the
winemakers themselves) or by exploring the Winemaker Wall,
featuring photos and tales from the vineyards and winemakers. From
ex-professional rugby players and father-daughter dynamic duos to
octogenarian grandmas and the ubiquitous cantankerous old
Frenchmen, Humble Grape's small, family winemakers are as diverse
and interesting as the wines themselves.
