    Did their online wine tasting which was excellent, subsequently bought a few bottles of wine from them. Marc also helped me track down a bottle of red equivalent to one I had thoroughly enjoyed in Sardinia several years ago.

    This gem of a wine bar is fantastic. It has a huge selection of quality wines, and the wine tasting was fun. Friendly staff, good music and good vibes.

    Nice place fantastic advice from the staff on wine choice. Not anywhere near as expensive as you would think for great quality wine and Port! A lovely evening.

    We have been to Heaton Moor branch and that is great but this was a brief stop at Sale midway through supporting some friends on the Manchester Marathon and unsurprisingly the service was just as good. Just a cheeky glass this time, sat outside with the pooch but the staff were as knowledgeable as ever. Wanted some bubbles for a forthcoming family birthday and the lady serving (sorry I didn’t get her name) offered to get a bottle in a box for better presentation. Was a lovely simple thought but really appreciated it! Cheers all!

    Very cosy little wine bar. We had the cheese board which was fab! Very friendly and attentive service despite only one person running the place. Would definitely recommend!

    Great wine selection, good range of prices. Cosy but not cramped inside, good location.

    Great place for good wine, but perhaps more importantly great service. The food - meats and cheese boards - is well worth a try. The produce they use is of good quality.

    Decided to try this place out for a birthday drink last night with my old friend , as I have often walked past and noticed the have craft beer in cans and for nostagic reasons I love to have a drink in a can before having a glass of red. Well, I was not disappointed after choosing a beer solely based on a picture of a bunny on the can, being a pet photographer that was a sign for me..and the beer tasted even better as they were playing The Clash. Then it was time to try some wine and was recommended a wine after describing what kind of red I like. Luckily, the wine was from Portugal that sent me back to Lisbon where I had my honeymoon on a vineyard. I even broke my 1 drink max rule and had 2 glasses of the beautiful rich wine that was full of flavours and memories.. Very much looking forward to trying more drinks in here.. I will definitely be back 😎

    Really nice to sit in and have a glass of wine hence the 5 stars. I will say though, ordering food like sourdough bread and oils and then seeing the guy go over to Co-Op to get it and then just put it on a plate is a bit of a weird one.

    There's always a good atmosphere in Cork of the North! The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, they're always ready with a recommendation and the wine selection is always delicious. A favourite place to hang out and have a glass or two...

    What a lovely place!! Staff were so friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend. There was 6 of us in the group and the staff gave us table service which was nice and unexpected. We asked at the bar about 10pm for a couple of cheese boards but they stopped serving at 9.30pm but the lovely lady behind the bar, put 2 together for us and they were great. Would definitely recommend!

    A great place to meet friends over a glass of wine. There's hundreds to choose from. The staff are very welcoming and professional whats not to like.

    A group of us are in the Spanish who dont serve alcohol so they send us next door for wine as they give 'discount'. The girls never heard of this, so no matter i buy a bottle for Β£13.50 and she charges me Β£18.99. Apparently they are cashless and cant give refunds so ask if id like another bottle, silly me thought this was a gesture of good will, but no she wants to charge me for it. When i decline it doesnt stop there, im now asked if id the the refund in crisps, maybe to go with our Spanish i wonder? Another alternative is that i make an hour round trip back to the shop on another occasion, call me unreasonable i didn't fancy this. Eventually a little initiative prevailed and she spoke to a manager who showed her how to make a refund, although at time of writing the money hasn't cleared, so bad its literally laughable πŸ˜‚

    Just dropped in for first time on way home … ordered 2glasses of Rose for me and my wife ….. barmaid busy on phone taking reservations etc i assume …. whole conversation included i would pay by card and to make sure it was suitably chilled and she the size of glasses ….i asked for the larger of what she offered … … my fault i suppose i did’nt ask price and when i sat down at table was notified by my bank it was Β£19 !!!… when later queried by my wife she was told β€œ cant he read” pointing at large blackboard on wall behind bar ……. … i cant remember Rose listed on that blackboard … i maybe wrong tho’…. … my wife and i have travelled extensively and visited many wine regions throughout and was optimistic when we saw this establishment and was hopeful of future visits … but alas β˜ΉοΈπŸ‘Ž

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Amazing place. Always have a great time. Brilliant wines, service and I always leave with a bottle to take home. Took my little for an orange juice and slabs, I had the Verde, after our bike ride. Love that I can bring him to my favourite place to share a bit of time together.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ One of the biggest choices of beers I've seen in a pub. You can drink in or take home with you to enjoy later. Probably my favourite place right now when I'm after a nice pint.
