Low-intervention wine bar with small plates and intimate atmosphere
"St. Kevin’s is blessed with all kinds of places to eat and drink, and Frank’s is where you’ll find the people who like to swill pét-nat and talk about their Noble Rot magazine subscription. These days it feels like the former-shop-to-wine-bar pipeline is well trodden. Frank’s, at least, was not a laundrette, but a butcher’s. Here, it’s hard to imagine an evening that wouldn’t be improved by having a glass on a big terrazzo kitchen island and hyper-fixating on an interaction you had at work." - daisy meager, jake missing, ciera velarde

"Inside a former butcher’s shop with the original awning still in place, you’ll find a cave à manger-style wine bar with an 18-seat communal high table and counter seats at the window. Katie Seward, one of the country’s top sommeliers, constantly updates the superb list of more than 150 low-intervention bottles. David Bradshaw, who previously worked in Michelin-starred Lyle’s in London, has a deft touch in the concise menu of small plates. Know before you go: Walk-ins only." - Corinna Hardgrave
