Soirée Wine Bar

Tucked away in Merchant City, Soirée Wine Bar is the late-night hideaway where the lights stay low, and conversation runs long. Fine wine flows without a hint of fussiness; the team favours exceptional bottles poured with charm over ceremony. As the evening deepens, the soundtrack shifts from smooth live acts to DJ sets that keep the energy humming until the small hours.

The menu leans into conviviality, inviting grazing and sharing. Cheeseboards spotlight I.J Mellis selections, perhaps a creamy Baron Bigod or Morbier with its buttery, elastic texture, set against seasonal fruit, nuts and a lick of honey. Charcuterie brings cured hams, cornichons and good crusty bread, all engineered for a glass in hand and a friend across the table.

Small plates and heartier comforts round out the offering. Think smoked garlic king prawns with chorizo, or Baked Macaroni au Fromage for a knowingly indulgent nod. When only the classics will do, a ribeye steak arrives grilled to order, while beef bourguignon offers slow-braised richness, flanked by French fries or buttery mashed potatoes.

Whether it is a first date that lingers or a cosy catch-up that becomes a night, Soirée brings it all together. Drop by, settle in, and let the wine and the rhythm call the shots.
