The wine bar quietly started pouring its first glasses just a few days ago and has already garnered a following of foodies. Max Bagels will still operate seven days a week with more seating room as part of a small refurbishment to create space for the wine bar.

Bagels by day, wine by night. Meaning that sometimes there will be eggs on the counter. #dualuse #doubletrouble #smallisbeautiful 📸 @takunda____

What’s there to sip on? Expect options – poured into gorgeous Gabriel-Glas stemware – like Mullineux, Crystallum, Beaumont Wines and more. There’ll also be snacks, like cheesy pizza bagels, to nibble on while you enjoy some of the wines on offer.
