Gordon’s Wine Bar – Embankment, London

June 1st, 2009Beer ReviewsI just loved this bar as soon as I walked through the door. Located near Embankment, off Strand, I assume that this place is quite well known but I was new and, despite the blazing sunshine and extensive outdoor seating, I intended to take in the full effect of the dark underground atmosphere. I am intelligent enough to know that I was essentially sat in a sewer but, with candles burning on the tables and dark cooling air, the atmosphere was undeniable.
I was unfortunately accompanied by my hairy Cypriot ex-university mate, but I got the definite feeling that, even with my natural deficiencies with the female of the species, I could make some progress by bringing a date here.
We were drinking the house Tempranillo which, at £4.10 a glass, was expensive (by Leeds prices) for a glass of house red. That said, it was a better quality wine than you can usually expect from the average house red and was, on reflection, worth the money.
I did not eat because I was too full from a Icco’s Pizza (Goodge Street) but the food looked great and reflected the flavour of the place. Check out the menu on the ‘Food’ section of the website… www.gordonswinebar.com
