Last update: July 2024

OPS Wines is an independently owned wine & tapas bar, located in trendy Bermondsey in South East London.

Located in a railway arch along the well-known Bermondsey Beer Mile, the venue is just a few minutes’ walk from Tower Bridge, and easily accessible via Bermondsey or London Bridge stations, as well as many bus routes.

Renting the whole space gives private access to both indoor areas, with an indoor capacity of up to 150 people:

The ground floor

The ground floor of OPS Wines is a stylish, spacious environment fit for multiple purposes. Finished with exposed Victorian brickwork and boasting a ceiling of 30 feet, the space is light, bright and inviting: the floor-to-ceiling glass frontage introduces an abundance of natural light.

Enter further in - towards the venue’s main bar, custom built and finished with a white granite top - and the space is cosy and inviting, with a comfy sofa area and small tables next to racks of fine wine.

The sky is the limit on how you can use the space: whether it’s a drinks reception with a finger buffet, a seated main meal, or clearing out the tables to create an incredibly atmospheric dance floor with ample space for a DJ

The Mezzanine

The Mezzanine - the upper floor of the wine bar - is a warm and airy space neutrally decorated with pale colours, easily adaptable to all wedding colour palettes. This attractive space boasts a beautiful handmade upcycled wooden floors, and lovely airy views of the space below, out of our all-glass frontage.

The space is large and highly versatile, easily adapted to the needs of your event. With space for up to 100 guests seated, it's perfect for drinks receptions and allowing your guests to socialise, as well as sit down meals or a buffet style service.

Outside space

Our outside space, which is surrounded by large pots filled with natural foliage, has seating for 40 and is the perfect place to cool down during a party! Heaters and canopies can also be arranged, making this space usable all year round.

The menu

OPS Wines offers a range of wines imported directly from Portugal, as well as cocktails and Portuguese beers. The unique food menu offers sharing platters and small plates - many of the dishes are made from ingredients sourced from other local small businesses. Outside catering is also allowed, to give maximum flexibility to your event

Your day

As a privately owned venue, Pedro's Wine Bar is proud to offer a highly flexible service, and can customise your wedding day package to suit your individual needs. You will be welcome to hire your own suppliers, such as entertainment, caterers, and photographers, allowing you to customize your day in a way that suits your needs.

The perfect choice for our intimate London wedding!

We're so so glad we chose Pedros to host our wedding reception. Pedro is a great person to work with and really helped bring our vision to life. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the food is honestly amazing. So so tasty! Pedro created a lovely buffet style spread for the evening and it did not last long once it was brought out let me tell you. We've eaten here several times before and the food has always been great. It was one of the main reasons we wanted to have our wedding here. We also fell in love with the cosy, urban vibe and unique layout that was just perfect for our London wedding. The atmosphere was hands down exactly what we wanted and we could not reccomend this enough. What an amazing venue. (And happily within our budget too!) Thank you Pedro and to all your staff!

The most magical day on 09/09/23

Cannot express enough our gratitude and thanks to Pedro, Andre and the team at Pedro's Wine Bar. From booking this venue to the actual wedding day their attention to detail, involvement and arrangements to make sure everything was seamless was second to none. We could not have asked for anything more as they all gave 110%. If you want a wedding ceremony and reception venue, you will not find anywhere that offers the personal touch in such a unique beautiful venue. Thank you Pedro and Team ...amazing!

Excellent experience

I had an engagement party for 60 people on the mezzanine at OPS and it was excellent. Pedro was super flexible, delivered exactly on what we had discussed and made the space look amazing. He ensure we kept within budget, and all of my guests were so impressed with the venue. We were thrilled with the event and cannot recommend the venue enough!

Perfect Wedding Venue - Highly Recommend

We had our wedding at Pedro’s Wine Bar in April 2024. As a licensed wedding venue, we were able to have our legal wedding, celebration ceremony and reception in the same place. Throughout each stage, Pedro and his entire team were exceptional.

The planning process was thorough, with Pedro on hand to answer any and all questions about logistics so the day could be planned accordingly. From liaising with our florist, Bloom East, to arranging set-up with our DJ, from table arrangements to menu tasting, Pedro worked with clarity, good humour and the utmost professionalism to ensure the day went as planned.

On the day itself, Pedro and the team worked to ensure every element of the wedding worked seamlessly. They were respectful during the ceremony, attentive to all guests, and highly conscientious during service. The food served was uniformly excellent with vegans and vegetarians well-catered for. Starters of cod fritters, burrata and tomato salad, grilled prawns, vegetarian fritters and vegetable tempura were followed by sea bass, roast beef and a mushroom risotto tailored for vegans or vegetarians. The Portuguese wine list at Pedro’s is extensive and innovative, and those served during the reception were perfectly paired with the canapés and meal.

The decor at Pedro’s is industrial in architecture but rustic in furnishing, and this contrast paired brilliantly with the floral arrangement provided by Bloom East. The setting was versatile enough that each stage of the wedding felt unique, but it was the work of the team that enabled this distinction.

We are so grateful for the hard work, respectfulness and diligence of Pedro and the team. From the extensive planning to our communications on the day, we felt that the event was a collaboration. Many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they’d ever attended. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the venue for a wedding or event, and would also fully recommend it for a quieter meal out!

Our thanks to Pedro and his entire team: Denis, Gui, Joao, Armandas, Chrystaian, Bea, Samara, Erica, Lenin, Sabarish, Edna, Agnieszka, and Sebastian.

Memorable wedding at fantastic London venue with wonderful food, wine and service!

Pedro’s made the day run beautifully. From the delicious sparkling wine and canapés through today tremendous dinner for 120. Portuguese wine is outstanding and we enjoyed sea bass, mushroom risotto, delicious sorbets and of course pasteis de nata. Nothing was too much trouble for Pedro and his team.
The wine bar seamlessly converted from a dining space into a disco.
I cannot praise everybody involved highly enough!

We couldn’t recommend Predo’s more. From all of the preparation, build up, to the day. Predo, Andre and the team were fantastic. They catered to all of our asks and wants to help create our perfect wedding day. And nothing felt like a task. Every question and query was met friendly professionalism.
The venue itsself is absolutely stunning. And offers the perfect setting, the food was delicious and served with care to all of our guests requirements, the staff were kind and attentive and we cannot fault them.
You can tell that Perdo’s heart is in his business. as it really shows.

Amazing professionalism beginning to end

As soon as we visited for the first time we felt valued and that our requirements would be fulfilled. We went for a initial meeting and had some complementary drinks, we bought lunch, 6 year old loved it and Pedro was very enthusiastic and had lots of ideas too. The sparkling wine was excellent and the food too.
So we decided upon Pedro's after visiting a few others. We paid a deposit and had a sparkling wine and canapes arrival with a meal to follow for 75 guests. Pedro accommodated our cake and cheese requirements. We had a breakout area for the kids and we were able to have a ceilidh band in the evening. We ended up hiring the place for the day and had a steampunk theme. It was an amazing day and the staff were completely welcoming in accepting us as a couple and our amazing friends and family.

A brilliant wedding party for all our friends and family

Pedro hosted around 90 of us for a wonderful wedding reception, with drinks, a sit-down meal and dancing. We were packed in but that added to the atmosphere and meant the room always felt full even towards the end of the night. The food and wine were great and we had lots of compliments on that and the cool venue. Pedro and his team looked after us incredibly well, making sure as bride and groom we had drinks on arrival and topping up our guests' glasses, and generally being extremely helpful and professional. We would recommend this venue.

Perfect wedding party venue

We chose Pedro's wine bar to host our wedding party because of their delicious food and the flexibility they offered to allow us to plan a perfect evening to celebrate with all of our friends and family, full of drinks, food and dancing. The wine bar proved to be the perfect venue to get all of our guests together for a great fun evening. All of our family and friends have been complimenting us on the venue and the amazing food, which was all so delicious. The staff worked so hard all evening and went above and beyond to ensure everything went seamlessly and that we were all enjoying ourselves. We honestly couldn't have hoped for the evening to go any better and would highly recommend this venue.

Wedding reception

Had my wedding reception here. Both Pedro’s were very accommodating and easy to talk to. They helped us make our day special. The food was good too and the interval in which it was brought out was optimum. I’d recommend this venue for anyone who wants a rustic-type vibe wedding.

Amazing venue, great vibe!

My partner and I hosted a party at Pedro’s wine bar and it was even better than we had hoped!
The venue itself is gorgeous, loads of character and really nice decor.
We ordered plenty of food and drinks at a really good price too.
The whole atmosphere was great, the music was perfect and there was a nice buzz.
Would definitely recommend!
