The Bung Hole

Sounding something like an old well filled with sewage this seemingly small pub masquerades as a wine bar and then once you are inside tells you that all the wine decor splattered around the place is for show and that the wines available are severely limited and frankly not particularly nice. The ground floor bar is a small dank affair but at the back a staircase takes you down to lower floor with a large area of wine cellars and a function room. The basement is rather chilly so take a coat if you intend to enjoy the renownedly difficult monthly quiz which is held here. A trifle expensive but friendly and of upper-middle class air, this place does not extend itself to the new punter - only the old.

Overall a pompous wine bar with a pretty bad selection of food as well as drinks. Small an uninviting and a weeping shadow next to the El Vino chain which dwells a few roads away. 3/10
