Tasting At Harolds Wine Bar
Situated on Sea Point Main road, Harold’s Wine Bar is a welcome addiction to this buzzing street. Once the play-ground of prostitutes and drug dealers this transport vain into the heart of Sea Point has gone through a serious face lift over the last couple of years. Contributing to this makeover is Harold’s Wine Bar.
What I like about the place – its a wine bar. Here wine comes first and food second. It is after all called Harold’s Wine Bar. You can expect a very well priced wine list, with knowledgeable and prompt service. Obviously Harold is always just an arms length away it you need his expert advice. Wines are served in beautiful B glassware and don’t be surprise if a decanter pops up on your table to fine-tune your wine.

It simply wonderful. As a wino myself i enjoy the ambieance and the decor not to mention the service and that there is always a informal discussion about the wine selection. Harold has open a long forgotten market and Cape Town should value this mans contribution to the wine industry. I hope that in the near future there will be more wine bar`s available for hedonistic wino`s like myself. Simply Well Done Harold you get a 17/20.
