About CJ's Wine Bar

Right across from Banyo railway station, CJ's Wine Bar delivers thoughtful tapas and craft pours without an ounce of pretension. Regulars head straight for the fairy-lit back garden to share plates under the lime tree—crispy pork belly, buffalo cauliflower, and halloumi chips delivered with attentive table service instead of QR codes. The bar shakes up inventive house cocktails and pours paired wines alongside grazing boards, whether you are settling in for date night or catching a drink before the train.

  • Courtyard Under the Lime Tree: Fairy lights and garden tables sit under a lime tree out back, offering a quiet open-air setting away from the main bar.
  • Traditional Table Service: Orders are handled by attentive floor staff with zero QR codes on tables.
  • Steps from Banyo Station: Located directly opposite Banyo railway station on the rail line for quick arrivals and departures.

Standout dishes frequently praised by guests enjoying drinks and shared plates

  • Buffalo Cauliflower

    The Buffalo Cauliflower was unlike no other! With Cauliflower being a fairly flavourless vegetable, the added spices and condiments to balance this dish were perfect!

  • Haloumi Fries

    Reasonable pricing and superior food, highly recommend the charcuterie board and halloumi fries.

    Yael O'Rourke

  • Pork Belly

    The wine and cocktail selection was excellent, and the pork belly was absolutely fantastic.

    James Chen

  • Fish Croquettes

    The Fish Croquettes were fantastic, with the correct amount of fish to potato ratio, enough to still taste the flavour of the fish.
