The Penny Lane Wine Bar seems like a nice enough place. The drink flows well, the staff are friendly, the food is great, and there never was a hint of trouble in the place anytime I was there.



My question is, with the countless drinking establishments in that area (Penny Lane, Smithdown, & Allerton Road), why is this place always packed?

And a related question, do any of the pubs and cafes in that area have late night hours?
