• Wine Bar • Newcastle upon Tyne

Booked 22 times today

Part wine bar, part restaurant, a city centre venue with a city centre buzz. St. Vincent is an after-work drinks spot, supper-with-friends place and general 'snack-with-a-glass-or-two' hang out with a big-hearted 'everybody welcome' attitude. Inspired by the neighbourhood bars we've found on our travels through France and Italy, we offer interesting wines, charcuterie and crowd pleasing plates full of punchy flavours. We're a place where an hour spins into several without anyone noticing. Open evenings Tuesday to Friday, all day Saturday and close late. Enough said. Come and find out.

Thoroughly enjoyed the cod with crab sauce. The bean & bacon broth was a bit salty for my taste but I suppose that's the bacon. My friend enjoyed her crab, which I've had before (though why crab has to come from Dorset when it's such a local delicacy we don't understand). I do miss the specials that used to be on the board - there was a new fish dish every time I came and all were excellent.
