About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Great for fine wines
Neighbourhood gem

Bleeding Heart has gone back to its roots and re-opened it’s famous Basement Wine Bar which popped its first cork in 1983 when the house claret was 95 p a glass, and Champagne was 3.95 - and there was a Concret Grand Piano in the corner.
The Wine Bar is now on the ground floor of the Bleeding Heart Tavern on the corner of the Yard and Greville Street , and offers a much more extensive wine and food offering .
There are 25 wines by the glass, 400 by the bottle and a re- charged Rotisserie with a regularly changing repertoire of British Birds and Beasts, plus an a la carte menu from Phil Cooper who arrives after years as Marco’s right hand man behind the stoves.
The Wine Bar is currently open Monday to Friday 11.30 am to 11 pm but in the Spring we’ll be offering a Champagne Brunch on Saturdays for those wanting to celebrate after successfully perusing the Hatton Garden jewellery stores.

The food and service is always spot on. This visit was a business lunch turned leaving do so the wine and cocktail bill was larger than the food bill ;) very reasonably priced for London. Thanks as always to the team for looking after us.

Service was exceptional and considerate with a lady leading who knew her sommelier stuff and generous in her guiding and attention. Preferred the cooking and selection here to the bistro

This is a lovely place. We booked on the day and came at 6.15 on the way home from work. The food was very tasty and original. I was very impressed with the service which was courteous prompt unassuming and friendly. Thank you Bleeding Heart!
