Wine Bargains Of Holborn

List of priorities when relocating to a new country:
1) Score a visa
2) Find a flat
3) Open a bank account
4) Obtain a mobile
5) Sign up for broadband internet
6) Replace my stockpile of cocktail crafting ingredients
Thus far, I’ve ticked off numbers 1 – 3 and 6. Oddly, 4 and 5 are more elusive. Fortunately, by accomplishing 6, my frustrations about 4 and 5 are much easier to bear.
Though this offie doesn’t have a spectacular selection, it’s pretty damn good for being around the block from my flat. You can find some more obscure items like Luxardo here, but nothing like Chartreuse or crème de violette.
Still, essentials seem reasonably priced, and the employees are friendly and generous — kicking in an extra lime cordial at no extra charge on top of the half-​dozen bottles I purchased.
Without doubt, I’ll be around.

This is a handy little off licence. The staff are friendly and you can have a nice little chat with them. They also have a good range of wines and beer and their prices are quite reasonable.
Oh, they sell bags of pretzels that are so yummy (but I’m sure not unique to them.)
