10 Tib Lane

10 Tib Lane is a natural wine bar and small plates spot that sits below street level on a short lane in the city centre, between King Street and the main shopping area. The entrance is easy to miss, which gives it a slight sense of discovery when you first go – though anyone who’s been there once tends to go back regularly. The wine list focuses on natural and low-intervention producers, and the team are good at helping you find something within your budget that you’ll actually enjoy.

The food is small plates designed to share – nothing too elaborate, but well put together and better than the average bar snack. The space is intimate without feeling cramped. It suits an early evening glass before dinner elsewhere, or a proper session if you settle in. It has a regular crowd of people who work nearby and know what they’re doing when it comes to wine, but it never feels cliquey. One of the better under-the-radar spots in the city centre.
