"A teeny, tiny wine bar where knees touch, hands are held beneath tables, and hearts flutter over devilled duck hearts on toast is Bottle + Rye in a nutshell. The Brixton wine bar adds a touch of Parisian romance to SW9 and its bottle list tends to stick around western Europe. The menu is similarly long weekend-inspired, with changing small plates like beef tartare, rabbit leg schnitzel, and a cornichon martini, and Happy Hour from 5-6.30pm, Tuesday to Saturday." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
