Wine Bar

Part wine bar, part restaurant, a city centre venue with a city centre buzz. St. Vincent is an after-work drinks spot, supper-with-friends place and general 'snack-with-a-glass-or-two' hang out with a big-hearted 'everybody welcome' attitude. 
Inspired by the neighbourhood bars we've found on our travels through France and Italy, we offer interesting wines, charcuterie and crowd pleasing plates full of punchy flavours. We're a place where an hour spins into several without anyone noticing. 
Open evenings Tuesday to Friday, all day Saturday and close late. 
Enough said. Come and find out.

    We have been wanting to try this place for a while. I am a lover of seafood and found this place to be fantastic. From the moment we were shown to our seats to paying the bill, the staff were really attentive and the food was amazing. The starters (both specials) were presented well and tasted beautiful they did not disappoint. I had a seafood mixed grill and for me this was a novelty, a meat mixed grill would never be something I would ever order due to not being a big meat fan but this was fantastic. Plenty seafood and mixed choices all tasting amazing. Too full for dessert but will definitely be back to try more of the delicious food in the great atmosphere.

    Fantastic experience. Ate there by myself - service was lovely, all staff attentive + very friendly - wasn't waiting for long for ordering/bill etc. Food & drinks both absolutely delicious, and a helpful explainer to the menu was provided to those unfamiliar. More on the expensive side (as expected), but in my opinion - the quality was worth the price. Would highly recommend!
