CHARLES’ BAR

The Left Bank Village, Bridge Street, Hereford. HR4 9DG

There is nowhere better in Hereford for a romantic date! Charles’ Bar is an intimate and quaint little cocktail and wine bar, with candlelight and schmoozing sounds from the likes of Vonda Shepard and Ella Fitzgerald as well as regular live music nights.

There is a cocktail menu with lots of random talking points to keep you reading while you’re waiting for your special somebody and there is a superior wine list, that has been very carefully chosen with expert guidance. Maybe the best darn wine list in town!

The perfect place to start your big night out on a Friday night after work!

Friday             5.00 pm until 1.00 a.m.

Saturday        12 pm until 1.00 a.m.
