What dumba likes about City Wine Shop:
Just came here for coffee. The staff are friendly and the coffee is good. Great location next to the Princess Theatre... good for people watching and relaxing. Whilst the tables were clean, there was a big pile of dirty dishes on the bench outside, which detracted a bit from the atmosphere. View all feedback. What Deron Walker doesn't like about City Wine Shop:
It was Sunday afternoon and there were a few tables available outside. We waited sometime to be greeted and offered a table. Once seated we then waited quite a while to be served despite a number of wait staff moving between tables. Eventually we decided...to leave as it was clear our attempts to make an order were going to be ignored. It’s a real shame as this place used to be very good. Not recommended anymore.

We bought a bottle of French wine from here last night to take as a gift. We liked it so much that we came back again to celebrate the Fourth of July....
