"Chic but comfortable, and cool but not trying too hard, Henny’s is a wine bar in Balham that exudes the kind of first date energy we’re all striving for. Pull up a stool, opposite the mirror, for a night fuelled by one of the wines of the week. Towards the back is a mustard booth that curves round the corner, where tucked-away dates order Yard Sale pizzas and bottles of something orange and hand-harvested. If you prefer a buzzy atmosphere, come after 8pm." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
