Say When is a stylish, inviting wine bar with a carefully curated selection of wines, creative small plates and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or discover something new by the glass, whether that’s over morning coffee or a late evening pour.

The draw: A striking wine wall that’s as much a centrepiece as it is an experience, with 30 hand-picked wines available through self-pour machines, letting you taste and explore at your own pace before committing to a glass or bottle.
