About the Vibe
Claret Wine Bar is a lively local spot in Cheam that leans more into the pub vibe than a traditional wine bar, with live music, karaoke, and sports on the menu. It's not fancy, but it's where you go for affordable drinks, good company, and a bit of entertainment without breaking the bank. Just don't expect a full kitchen—they're more about the bar scene, though you can bring your own snacks if you're buying a round.

Lively local pub with music and sports, not a fine wine bar
Claret Wine Bar in Cheam is a no-frills local haunt that trades on its entertainment rather than its culinary offerings. If you're after a quiet glass of wine, this might not be the place—it's more likely to be buzzing with live singers, karaoke enthusiasts, or sports fans glued to the screens. The staff are friendly and the prices are hard to beat, making it a solid choice for a casual night out with mates.
That said, the experience can be hit or miss. Some visitors rave about the atmosphere and the music, while others have noted a decline in service and a lack of the old-school charm it once had. There's no kitchen, so come hungry if you're expecting food, but you're welcome to bring your own snacks as long as you're supporting the bar. It's not for everyone, but if you're in the mood for a rowdy, music-filled evening without the pretension, Claret's delivers.
