Popped in for a few drinks. Great evening, buzzy atmosphere, nice decor.

Had a lovely evening on Saturday celebrating our anniversary. Lovely wine selections and friendly staff. A special thank you to Jenny who organised our booking!

Went here after years, paid for a small glass of wine, the bar staff spilt some on the counter when decanting it from the measure when challenged she just said that’s a small glass!!! Then when talking to a friend stood beside me chatting about how it has changed a member of staff butted in and said ‘ you don’t have to be here ‘ I am aware of this but really no wonder there wasn’t many people there.

Amazing place. We loved the decor and the layout, the gentle jazz playing and the great service. Now nice to be able to chat while enjoying a very mellow and peaceful environment. Our server even offered us a choice of glasses for our champagne. Never had that before!

Excellent little bar, warm and welcoming. Service was great with upbeat positive happy staff. Smart upmarket crowd. Will certainly visit again when in Cheltenham.

Brilliant experience

In short very disappointing, not sure where to begin. Inattentive, unprofessional staff, amusing themselves with their phones or the drunks in the bar. A noisy, unpleasant atmosphere, the doorman was required to remove people, suspect this is a regular occurrence. Sadly the mediocre refurbishment has not been extended to the rather grubby toilets. A beer and a glass of wine was over £16 …..

Called in on our way back from a shopping trip. Unfortunately the bore at the bar who was very drunk at 5pm made it a very unpleasant visit. If I want to hear repeated 4 letter words spoken extra loud in a slurred drunken voice I will probably stick to the football not an establishment trying to portray itself as an upmarket wine bar. What was even more unfortunate was it was tolerated and encouraged by the 2 bar staff. Never again and would advise against a visit.
Re-opened after a long shut down and a refurbishment. Looks fantastic, clean and a nice place to go for a couple of drinks. Prices similar to Harry cook and all bar one. Nice pint of madri on tap..thats good enough for

This place has had a quality refurbishment and is looking stylish. I'm looking forward to the kitchen opening.

The Montpellier wine bar sounds upmarket and classy - it was once but now it’s a dirty hole - I don’t get it. Prime spot, great building - I have no idea what the owners are thinking. I guess it will go bust as it’s always pretty empty now - I went for drinks and there is no way I would consider eating there. Such a shame

It just gets worse, how sad. The owner has no interest other than charging top prices. Sign outside reads "fine dining" NO, no chef and no food for months. "Cocktails" NO haven't done them for ages. Dirty ladies toilet, feet stick to the floor and basins dirty. Outside umbrella broken. Photos attached. I could go on and on. Message to the owner - please either improve or sell it and let someone else do it.
