The Emporium Wine Bar

One of the essential destinations on the town centre social circuit, the Emporium wine bar is a busy and bustling environment from early evening to late at night.

The comprehensive selection of wines has been hand-selected by one of our favourite local suppliers: D. Byrne & Co. – one of the finest independent wine merchants outside London.

The menu descriptions provide a no-nonsense guide to the wines in plain English that are reassuringly free of pretentious waffle. We hope there’s something for everyone on the wine list and we make no apologies for some of our selections venturing a little bit off-piste, but they certainly reward the adventurous with their quality and value.

All the wines on the main list are available by the bottle, by the glass and by the large glass – hopefully encouraging experimentation and adventure.
