Waitrose Wine Bar

I got a phone call from my friend saying she’s in the area and if I wanted to meet for a drink after work. This was the one day I needed one. It was one of those bad days at work. She asks me to meet her at the bar in Waitrose. Yes that’s right Waitrose.
If you have not been to the Canary Wharf branch then you will not know that it is directly under John Lewis and in the main shopping mall area. I had walked past the bar a few times whilst doing some grocery shopping and thought how odd but today was the day where shoppers will be looking at me saying «how odd».
My friend was waiting with a glass of white wine for herself and a prosecco for me. Guess the day started to actually get better. May I add she also got a small platter of breads, houmous, pickles, pâté and cheeses. I could kiss her but I decided not to, however, the platter and drinks were totally yum and not as expensive as I thought it would be.
For me the highlight was to be able to catch up with my friend, to people watch and to hear the different conversations happening around me. From difficulty on deciding to stick with his pension, a woman complaining about her rebellious son and the couple fed up of their jobs. My bad day of work started to seem quite little compared to these people’s lives. So if you work in the area, want to shop and have a drink or simply want to people watch and hear the different stories of people sitting around you then do pop over.
