The Cork & Bottle
Overview
Our beliefs are simple - in a world full of so much terrific food and wine, why settle for a slab of quiche and a glass of boring plonk? Our food is innovative, fresh and tasty... and available at all hours. The wine list speaks for itself - "Legendary for its iconoclastic notes. It doesn"t necessarily tell you what the wine tastes like - you have to make your mind up. It's there to provoke interest", says Harpers, the wine trade magazine. As Barossa wine making supremo John Glaetzer puts it so succinctly, "Don, this is not just a wine list - it's a book". And a readable one at that!

Latest 5 reviews of The Cork & Bottle
Despite being in the middle of tourist town and across from a crazy club, The Cork and Bottle had a wonderfully quiet and cool vibe. Clean, calm and well decorated with bottles of wine and books with covers that were well worn, my darling and I sat at the bar and felt right at home. We opened up an aromatic bottle of pino gris and enjoyed talking with the people who worked at the wine bar as...more
Despite being in the about as close as you can get to the epicenter of London's touristy West End, this long-standing basement level Wine Bar seems to avoid being over-run by the hordes.
The wine list is large and interesting, and I commend checking the "bin end" buckets on the bar for novelties at lower than average prices.
Food is traditional wine bar fare, with the exception of their...more
Having been back a number of times to C & B I feel qualified to write an update.
I'm delighted to say that I have tried the 'Famous Ham & Cheese Pie' which is very tasty, but a once in a lifteime experience. I think each slice must satisfy your entire daily calorie allowance.
Imagine about 20 slices of good quality ham interspersed with thick cheese sauce and wrapped in some serious...more
This area is a total tourist zoo. Luckily, this place gives you the chance to escape to a downstairs sanctuary for a glass of wine and some snacks. They have a solid wine list and a great selection of cheeses and other nibbles.more
The Cork & Bottle is a subterranean dining space. They have one very interesting cave-like booth available for larger groups which my party occupied for an evening. I did not eat but did share a bottle of the house red, which was fine but not worth £18.95, with three others. The service was surly and, once we were ready to pay, elusive.
I don't believe I'll be returning.more
