Carmen Street Wine

You'll find this place tucked into St Paul's, and it immediately feels different from Bristol's flashier wine bars. The focus here is entirely on natural wines – proper ones, not the trendy stuff that tastes like kombucha gone wrong. The selection changes regularly, but you can always count on finding something interesting from small producers you've never heard of but definitely should have. The space itself is intimate and unfussy, with mismatched furniture that somehow works perfectly. Staff actually know their stuff and will happily guide you through the list without being pretentious about it. Come with a friend, order a bottle of something orange, and settle in for the evening.
