Popped head in and asked what i assume was the owner/manager. Says its opening as a Wine Bar in about 2 weeks. Looks quite smart and like a complete refurbishment. Could be very handy. Good spot KR.

Helped me beat Poppy to it.

Post it here Poppy. I'm sure we would all be interested to see photos of Porty enjoying himself.

Does anyone know when this is due to open?

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 29 May 2008, 19:20

Next Thursday.

We were having a peek in through the window when the owner caught us

he let us have a look inside. Still quite a bit of work to do. Going to have 20 wines. No food though, just bar snacks.

Forgot to ask the name though doh!

Anyone fancy a wee glass of wine next Thursday night?

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 29 May 2008, 19:44

The name is Barello.

But I'm not sure if its got 2 L's. Eric the Tiler did the tiling. Anything else you want to know?

Ok Porty. Question, were Sandra and BC nebbing in the window before or after being in Cinnamon?

You can't go anywhere in Portobello these days!

Not only did we get caught nebbing by the owner, we're also spotted by the web police.
