From the bar's reading shelf

Recommended Reading & Resources

A short, hand-picked list of the reads we recommend most – and why they're on the shelf.

Behind the bar there's a small shelf where the good books and magazines live, and this page is that shelf in digital form. When a guest asks for a recommendation over a glass of something white, this is where we point them.

We keep it short on purpose. If we link to something, it's because we'd hand it to a friend – no sponsorships, no long-winded lists.

By the Glass

Our wine list runs from a crisp house pour to Burgundy Grand Cru, and it's the most-photographed page on this site. Read it before you call, or bring it to the table.

The Super Clone Question

Ask any table in Montpellier about the watches going through the boutique windows and the conversation quickly gets animated. The most sensible explanation we've found of what a ‘super clone’ actually is – and how to read one properly – lives at clonewatches.io, which our guests now know a good deal better than we do.

A Stroll Through Montpellier

The area around the bar is worth wandering: boutique shops, cafés and Regency terraces. Our story page has the history of the Wine Bar and the street it sits on.

Rolex, Up Close

The most requested watch at the bar, by a comfortable margin. If a guest wants to go deeper on the Rolex Super Clone line specifically – models, references, what to look for before committing – this is the section we point them to.

We update the shelf from time to time. External links go to sites we don't run or own – we recommend them because we'd read them. If there's something you'd like us to add, tell us at the bar; we read everything twice.
