Not sure if we got unlucky, but left feeling really ripped off by stingy portions and a bit let down by the experience as a whole. Lovely atmosphere, but The wine was super mediocre, The crisps tasted like a simple packet of European lays (£4!), the sourdough was nice, as was the pork. The black hummus was absolutely minuscule in size and the cod was even more minuscule (literally gone in about 5 dips of some bread and again very salty but for £10 was ridiculous). Staff were nice, but service very slow and had to get menus myself. Overall, definitely wouldn’t go again. The table next to us has the same experience as we spoke to them throughout. Really surprised it had positive reviews.. left hungry and annoyed.

Great spot to wind down and discover some wines that are just off the beaten path. NOM offers a selection of interesting wines paired with good food. Service was equal measures of friendly and knowledgeable, without being too present or pushy and with a real passion for the wines on offer. Every Wednesday is tasting day with a three glass flight and some bites to match.

  • Harland Evans (Harry)

Hands down one of the best wine shops in East London - there are some really interesting and exciting wines on offer in the store, and an excellent range of prices and varieties. I've managed to find a favourite wine thanks to Jamie and the team (the Hungarian Tiezenhet), and can reliably be given suggestions based on that to keep my choices interesting and varied!

  • Adam Balkwill

Cute wine bar in the Clapton area with an atmospheric downstairs bar as well as an option to sit outside. I was very impressed with Sara’s knowledge of unusual wines, and enjoyed two characterful, full bodied White and Orange wines that were somewhat off the beaten track. Some of the best wine I’ve had out in a while, and I would heartily recommend NAM to others.

  • Sonia A

Highly recommend! It’s my go to place to catch up 1 on 1 with someone because downstairs has a super cozy and intimate atmosphere. The boards are good value and I like that you can pick exactly what goes on it. Wines are affordable but always high quality and it’s great that they change all the time.

Very good wine selection and food! The only downside experienced was that me and my friend went out for a smoke and we came back in, and our half full plates were taken away and other people were placed on our table (we did have out jackets under the bar)… wasn’t nice experience

This is an outstanding neighbourhood wine shop - where each bottle has been selected because of its quality, story, and interest. Caters to all budgets - and the owner is an excellent guide to the stock. Really happy I live so close to this place and wish it every success, we need more small businesses with passion like this!

  • Anna N

Nice little wine bar with delicious selection of wines. We also had some cheese to start. Was a shame they didn’t have gluten free crackers but I made do with cheese & some delicious olives & artichokes.

  • Roseline Colard

Bought several bottles of wine from this shop, all organic, biodynamics or chemical free. Great unusual selection from a lot of small wineries. We have loved every bottle we have bought from them so far (still 3 left yay!). The owner is really nice, a service with a smile!

  • Ilya Ilyukhin

The term „hidden gem“ is overused these days, but this little place definitely falls under this definition. Lovely wines, lovely nibbles, and an incredible service from Sara. We’ve even practiced some Italian with her and she made us feel like we’re in Italy. A presto!

  • Alejandro del Valle

Absolutely elite spot. Great atmosphere, lovely food, fine selection of wine, and fantastic music lays the soundtrack to what will certainly be a memorable (and sexy) evening!

This is such a great bar, the spirits, wines and beer are so thoughtfully curated that you get an experience you couldn't get at home. It's a great place for a quiet drink and to try something new. Also the new outdoor area is amazing for summer.

  • Bethany Crenol

Sweet little wine bar. We went for a quick glass before a dinner elsewhere and sat outside in the sunshine. Wine menu was relatively succinct and not intimidating. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Will definitely be back!

  • James Governor

Great little local bar and off-licence. Everything tastes good. Lovely people. The summer Negronis helped us thro lockdown. Honestly love this place. So many good natural and orange wines. Jamie, Sara and Benji are all elite.

  • Jon Spero

What a gem. My wife and I had one of the best nights here. Jamie introduced us to some amazing wines and spirits all the whole making us feel right at home. He has so much knowledge to give. I can't say enough good things.

  • Stefan Ferguson

Perfect little neighbourhood bar with high quality cocktails and an expertly curated wine list. Service and ownership is second to none. Takeway has been keeping me sane during lockdown - can't wait for it to reopen!

  • Petra Pavlaskova

Great place to enjoy lovely wine. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Sara is particularly knowledgeable and will make sure you’re super happy with your wine choice. Will be back, thanks for having us!

  • TJ

Unpretentious place to drink pretentious wine. Owner and staff are fantastic, they always recommend an interesting skin contact. Couldn't ask for more of a local wine bar. We walk past P. Franco and laugh.

  • Daniel Lane

Had the vodka martini. Very to the point which was precisely what was needed on a cold December night. The olives and oily bread were great on the side. Pretty dark in there. Excellent music. Noice. More

  • Mel Clow

Lovely wine and cocktail bar. The cocktails we had were delicious and the wine list looked great. Staff were welcoming and friendly. There is a downstairs too with more tables and a cool basement vibe.

  • Gemma Lord

Not at all pretentious- great wine selection with friendly advice (I’m a wine novice and I don’t feel silly asking things here) and wines to suit all budgets. Can’t wait to try the bar too!

  • James Governor

Jamie has created a lovely neighbourhood bar and vibe. Great cocktails, knowledgeable staff - Sara is a great sommelier. Much to like. Give it a try.
