Unwined in Waterloo

You know that stretch of Lower Marsh near Waterloo station? Yeah, it's had a glow-up. Unwined sits right in there, and it's the kind of place where you'll find locals propping up the bar on a Wednesday night, not posing for Instagram. The wine list tilts towards natural and small-batch producers—the sort of stuff that tastes like someone actually cared about it—and the staff genuinely know what they're on about. It's casual enough to roll in solo with a book, but convivial enough that you'll end up chatting to whoever's next to you. Prices won't break the bank either, which helps when you're on your third glass.
