Winedown preston is a small cozy bar just off the main fishergate street. Blink and you will miss it, so keep your eyes wide open and you will be delighted. The entrance takes you down a flight of stairs to the main bar area situated below street level. It's cozy candle lit atmosphere takes you to a calmer place away from the hustle and bustle. The wine list is amazing, but there are beers and spirits also. An absolute must is the cheese board designed for sharing over a drink and a chat whilst your taste buds have a party hopping through the selection of fruity,tangy,spicy cheeses.This bar is an absolute must visit for anyone. I found it by accident, and just keep going back.

An amazing place! After living in Barcelona we couldn’t believe it when we saw this place in Preston - really reminded us of our favourite Spanish bars. Amazing wine and really delicious food and very affordable. Staff were really friendly and helpful. An absolute gem!

Haven’t been in for a while. Same exceptional service and expert advice on wine and whisky. Big shout out to Dougie, Mick and Courtney

Winedown left me speechless.The low lighting creates this intimate ambiance. There's this undeniable charm that makes it a standout experience. It's not just a wine bar; it's a memorable journey ?️?

Beyond expectations as always, Dougie the manager/owner, also caters to non wine lovers with rums/whiskies and has a selection of sweet wines unlike any bar nearby. There is also at least 4-5 pages of wine on double sided a4 pages, plus the cheese and the candle- lit ambiance making it a lovely place

What a real gem, hidden away underground in the heart of Preston with a vast selection of tasty wines for every discerning palette. Oh and the Cheeseboards……..awesome.

I just love this place and love introducing friends and family here. When you walk down the stairs you could be anywhere in the world, a hidden cellar bar gem. Service is always great and if you like cheese then you’ll think you are in heaven! Definitely recommend the dipping pots. So good! They even play good music.
What an amazing little bar. Was the first time trying it for our anniversary, and we weren’t disappointed. A very romantic and cosy place, fantastic service. Absolutely gorgeous food. Amazing selection of wines. You don’t feel like you’re on the middle of Preston city centre, feels more like the wine bars you find abroad. We will definitely be going again soon

Great experience at Winedown again. The wine list is enormous, excellent for those who know their wines, but can be daunting for the average person. Luckily they all have a brief description of their taste and where they are from.Wine ranges from cheap to very expensive, luckily there is a lot of bottles in an excellent price range and cheaper than the nearby competition.The service is great, the staff running the place know so much about the wine, meats and cheeses and are happy to help with any questions or requests.The atmosphere is very dark but there are plenty of candles around, your eyes do adjust but it can be hard to read the menu without a light on hand.I recommend visiting this place if you are looking for a moody atmosphere with good wine and cheese amongst good company.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessible stairs, staff may have a stair climber inside but I am unsure.

We came here on Thursday 20th for a date- it was about 5pm on a hot sunny day, so we were the only people in. It is in the cutest little cellar in Preston, entirely candlelit. Really romantic atmosphere! It was an intimate and delightful experience. Selection of wines was fantastic, and we tried a few glasses we had never even heard of before. Staff were lovely and helpful, happy to chat about their recommendations. We didn't try their deli but we are already planning to come back to try some more wine, a cheeseboard, and to have a go at the quiz.
