Last update: May 2025

Pedro’s Wine Bar is an effortlessly cool, independently owned wine and tapas bar nestled in the heart of Bermondsey—one of South East London’s trendiest neighbourhoods. Born from a passion for bringing the finest Portuguese wines to Londoners, Pedro’s began as OPS Wines, an importer and wholesaler, and has since evolved into a buzzing bar and bottle shop showcasing the best of Portugal’s wine and culinary culture.

Tucked inside a striking railway arch along the iconic Bermondsey Beer Mile—just a short stroll from Tower Bridge—Pedro’s offers a refreshingly unique venue that blends old-world charm with contemporary edge. Spanning two levels and featuring a private outdoor garden space, it’s a flexible space that can be tailored for everything from intimate gatherings to full-blown parties—accommodating up to 150 guests.

Expect an ultra-stylish interior where vintage vibes meet industrial chic: exposed brick walls, a sleek glass-and-steel mezzanine, handcrafted upcycled wood floors, and a statement granite bar. The ground floor is filled with natural light thanks to its floor-to-ceiling glass frontage, and doubles as the perfect setting for cocktail receptions, seated dinners, or a late-night dance floor. Upstairs, the mezzanine offers a light, neutral backdrop perfect for weddings, with room for up to 100 seated guests and a beautiful view of the space below. A top-tier sound system is included, with room for a live DJ or live music if you're planning a proper celebration.

Outside, guests can enjoy a leafy private terrace with seating for 40—complete with optional canopies to keep the vibe going year-round.

On the menu? Award-winning Portuguese wines, craft cocktails, and Portuguese beers, paired with delicious sharing plates and small bites made with ingredients from fellow independent businesses. Have any special requests or want a bespoke menu tailored to you? That’s absolutely fine—Pedro’s is all about flexibility to make your celebration truly your own.

As a privately owned venue, we’re passionate about helping couples design their dream day. You’re welcome to bring in your own entertainment, stylists, and suppliers—we’ll work with you to shape a celebration that’s as unique as you are.

Perfect Alternative City Wedding

We had an intimate city wedding at Pedro's, a celebrant ceremony followed by an amazing sit down meal and then a party with around 100 evening guests. It was exactly what I wanted, and the day went perfectly.
Getting married at Pedro's allowed us to be selective with what we cared about. I made an the decorations myself and the bridal party set them up. We didn't care about elaborate florals and didn't have any vendors, the venue has everything you need for a good party and looks stunning as it is.
Pedro and the staff were amazing. So attentive, and really on it with the service. No glass was left empty and the food was just amazing.
I loved every minute and am so grateful!

A lovely, intimate venue with excellent food and service!

This is one of the best-kept secrets of Bermondsey, and I'm so pleased to have discovered it! Pedro, the owner, is always present to make sure that the quality of the food, wine and service is top-notch, and they have an amazing selection of both meat and seafood.

My wife and I loved it so much that we decided to host our wedding by renting out the entire venue. Pedro and his team were professional, polite and made the entire day special for us both and our families. The price was very reasonable, and we were able to cater to a crowd of 120 comfortably with all diets covered and plenty of space to dance, relax and talk to friends and family present.

Try the Gambas, the beef T-bone and the pork tomahawk! They are exceptional!

I would rate this venue 10/10, and am so glad I live nearby so my wife and I can visit once a month, at a minimum!

THE venue for your ideal London restaurant wedding!

We hosted 98 people for our post town hall celebration for dinner, drinks and dancing. Perfect venue to have to yourself and create stages to the night across the two floors. The food was unreal and we had multiple guests comment on it! But most of all Pedro and his team were a dream to work with, making us feel at ease in the whole process, setting up and service on the night! Couldn’t fault a single thing!! Highly recommend as an affordable, great location London wedding!

Simply the best!

I wish I could relive my wedding day just to experience our celebration at this incredible restaurant again! If you're planning a wedding, I can't recommend this venue enough. Pedro and his team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The space is already beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were just as amazing. Our guests also enjoyed everything. Pedro was very accommodating with guests who had allergies and other dietary requirements, which we truly appreciated. Words can’t capture how magical the evening truly was with this stunning venue. We had an intimate wedding, but this venue would easily work for larger gatherings too. Pedro was so patient with all my questions and made the planning process seamless. You won’t regret choosing this beautiful venue. Thank you again for making our day unforgettable—we truly appreciate everything.

We culdn't rate this absolute gem of a place more highly!! We held our wedding reception here and Pedro and his staff did the most amazing job. Their customer service was above and beyond. Friendly, helpful, supportive, professional and so accommodating. Setting is stunning and food and wine absolutely gorgeous. All our guests raved about the food and wine and how friendly and helpful the staff were. We'd recommend Pedro's in a heartbeat 🩷.

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!

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 beautiful, unimprovable, amazing wedding venue

The whole team at OPS (Pedro's Wine Bar) was beyond helpful. Our wedding was in October 2023 and I can only imagine how they have gone strength to strength since then.

The venue was absolutely gorgeous, the people were amazing, the food incredible and the wine spectacular. They literally could not have made the process any easier, any more enjoyable, and all around magical.

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
