It was an enjoyable stop after a long day of sightseeing. The barman was very welcoming and chatty. It's a nice wine selection from an international wine list. The beer was cold, which was welcomed by New Zealand standards.

Lovely place hidden away down Masons Avenue. The bar can be busy on Wednesday and Thursday nights which creates a good atmosphere. The service is good and efficient and the staff are friendly. The food is very good and perfect for sharing. The prices are fair compared to other similar wine bars.

I recently had my engagement party at El Vino and they truly made it an event that exceeded all expectations. The team were amazing at helping us organise and even allowed us to put up our own decorations, the staff were unfailingly helpful and attentive, and the venue itself was so open and perfect for a party. Throughout the night I was flooded with compliments from guests on how good the food, drinks, and service was - I’d recommend this venue to anyone in a heartbeat.

Very nice experience. Classic spanish tapas served by extremely nice staff. We've had padron pepers, beef skewers, chorizo with beans, duck patè, meatballs and patatas bravas. All very good, full of taste.
I took portugese chicken skewer with veggie paella for main, but unfortunatelly I was not fully satisfied. While meat was aromatic, little spicy and juicy, paella was really poor, tasteless.
But, all in all, good place worth trying. Perfect for tapas and glass of wine with friends:)

Great place to share a glass or bottle of wine with small plates of food.

Really nice place, we liked the service and the food. The place itself could be a little more cosy, you can't feel the atmosphere of the tapas bar. We got really good wine there so highly recommended to try.

What can I say. The best place for an intimate glass of wine with your friends and some great bar snacks too. What makes this place outstanding was the customer service. One time, when they had run out of my favourite beer due to an itinerant supplier they jumped in a taxi to and went to get a barrel. This is what is known as excellent customer service and I am be coming here again, and again and again! El Vino you deserve my loyalty and patronage. May you continue to succeed!

Fantastic experience the number of times I've visited. I've arranged my own team drinks in the semi private dining room, as well as a number of drinks/lunch in the main restaurant/bar.
Staff are great. The manager and booking host are amazing. All are friendly, welcoming and want to make your visit enjoyable.

I love this place, a hidden gem!
Staff are beyond nice, they are truly amazing to the point if we pass each other in the street we always stop and say hi.
A great place, well run and great atmosphere!
I can’t recommend enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic bar. After leaving the overcrowded Anthologist because it took over half an hour to get a round of drinks in, this bar was refreshingly spacious with large seating areas. Bar staff so friendly and responsive immediately took food and drinks orders for the rest of the night. Food came out piping hot and delish. Would definitely go there again.

A lovely wine bar where you can grab a quick drink, eat some great tapas or have a larger gathering. I had a private engagement there and they secured a large area for me upstairs. I was looked after really well by Daniele from the day I booked the event up to the actual day; the rest of the staff were also very friendly and accommodating too. They also have a private room downstairs for private parties.

Amazing experience, tapas lovely, wine amazing, service quick and staff brilliant and welcoming. Perfect place for after work drinks and Eldon was fantastic, very welcoming and will definitely be back thanks to him!

It's all about the team behind the bar when it comes to places like El Vino.
They have a great team here, very warm friendly people who know how to make a good bar great.

We had our wedding drinks organised at this place and it turned out to be great! Really friendly, helpful and professional staff! They all did a great job - good food and drinks! Indre, Natalia, chef and team - keep it up!

Amazing place. Will definitely return. Bar staff are soooo friendly.

Honestly had the worst experience at this bar - they completely ruined what should have been a nice evening. This was mainly ruined by the bouncer who frequently enters the ladies toilets making you extremely uncomfortable and the manager who is very rude and aggressive. I have never made a complaint about a bar or restaurant but the treatment they gave my colleagues and I was disgusting.

A thoroughly pleasant dining experience, attentive staff made for good service, would dine there again :-)
