• Wine Bar • Newcastle upon Tyne
Booked 17 times today
Part wine bar, part restaurant, a city centre venue with a city centre buzz. St. Vincent is an after-work drinks spot, supper-with-friends place and general 'snack-with-a-glass-or-two' hang out with a big-hearted 'everybody welcome' attitude. Inspired by the neighbourhood bars we've found on our travels through France and Italy, we offer interesting wines, charcuterie and crowd pleasing plates full of punchy flavours. We're a place where an hour spins into several without anyone noticing. Open evenings Tuesday to Friday, all day Saturday and close late. Enough said. Come and find out.

    Had the most delicious 3 course meal at St Vincent’s. Ambiance/atmosphere perfect. A restaurant that’s buzzing from the moment you walk in. Attentive, knowledgeable, friendly staff. This was for a special occasion. Had 1 small plate and 1 larger plate each followed by dessert. The food is just so exquisite- super tasty, well cooked, well seasoned. Extensive wine menu, broken down into easy to decipher sections so it was easy to choose. We also had a Sicilian sangria which was just devine. If you’re looking for a special restaurant that’s buzzing will deliver the best food ever, then it’s got to be this one. It is expensive but you get what you pay for and you will not leave disappointed. This is our 2nd time here and for me, it’s the best restaurant that I’ve been to in Newcastle. Well done to all the staff involved.
