Candlelit wine bar in brick arches, great for dates.
"Underneath Holborn Viaduct is The Winemakers Club, a candlelit wine bar in a couple of 150-year-old arches that looks like the kind of place Hannibal Lector would drink a nice Chianti. Winemakers is best suited for the evening thanks to its candlelit, cavernous setting, and the outside space is protected from any potential downpours. The by-the-glass options change weekly so there’s always something new to try and—ding ding ding—you can book group tables online." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Underneath Holborn Viaduct is The Winemakers Club, a candlelit wine bar housed in a couple of 150-year-old arches, that looks like the kind of place Hannibal Lector would drink a nice Chianti. It’s best suited to the evening thanks to its underground setting, and it’s intimate and relaxed enough for a casual date, or any scenario where you want flame-flickering mood lighting to do all the hard work for you." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Underneath Holborn Viaduct is The Winemakers Club, a candlelit wine bar in a series of 150-year-old arches that looks like the kind of place Hannibal Lector would drink a nice chianti. Winemakers is best suited to an intimate and relaxed date. The wine selection is good, as are the prices, and its casual atmosphere makes it a great spot to try something new. Not least their raclette toastie." - sinead cranna, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"Fire hazard status: use hairspray at your own risk There are candlelit wine bars and then there are wine bars where unlocking your phone is akin to setting off a flare. The Winemaker’s Club is like that. Shadows dance on the brick walls of this 150-year-old arch underneath Holborn Viaduct. And the underground setting, flowing orange wine, and glowing walls makes it feel like the setting for a cult meeting, but a sexy one. Come for a raclette toastie and to romanticise how beautiful power cuts can really be." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"Alright so technically they came back to yours at the end of the second date because ‘they needed to charge their phone’. Blame summer, with all its glorious horny sunshine and the fact that you’re always more likely to get it on with someone if you don’t have to face peeling a pair of skinny jeans off in front of them. But in the interest of keeping those sparks flying, we’d like to introduce you to The Winemaker’s Club. This is undeniably a wine bar that promotes serious flirting, thanks to its candlelit setting in a series of old arches under Holborn Viaduct. Cue feeding each other cheese and maybe—deep breaths—a little hand holding while you make your way through a top bottle of Bordeaux once the sun has set." - heidi lauth beasley
