Wonderful afternoon once again. Enjoy a lovely bottle of wine, we always like to try a different one and ask for help choosing. We had 2 samples then chose one of the recommendations to go with a gorgeous cheese platter which was gorgeous as always. Lovely selection of cheeses with fabulous fresh bread and oatcakes. Highly recommend.

I love the Wine Library! Been several times now and there's several things that make it a wee rare find in the middle of Falkirk. The atmosphere is great! Very cosy and relaxed. Table service the whole time which is excellent. The staff are very attentive. The food platters are amazing and good value for money and goes excellent with the wine. My go to place when I'm out in Falkirk.

A lovely evening. We were sat in the 2 wing chairs near the disabled toilet, the door in the toilet needs fix as 1 poor man went in & didn’t realise it hadn’t shut. It swung open & we could all see him peeing. That needs to be addressed. Great evening , def be back.

Overall good value and wine list is reasonably extensive. Service could have been a little more attentive however was friendly when arrived. Food offering is very limited but that is to be expected given it is a wine bar. Will return.

We always love our trips to the Wine Library - the platters are great value for money and plentiful! The downside of our trip this time was the table we were allocated - while it is nice to be in the comfy armchairs, it makes eating off the low table a bit uncomfortable. Also, these chairs and table sit out into the room a bit and look into the kitchen and towards the disabled toilet. However, the friendly and efficient staff do go some way to compensating!!
