by candlelight

Caru by candlelight is an artisanal wine and brandy bar located in Arch 2 of The Arches on East Market Street. Our unique and beautiful space is perfect for a catch-up, after-work wind down or place to start or end your evening with a wide choice of aperitifs and digestifs. Our wines are all sustainably sourced from either within the UK or small family run vineyards in Europe. We offer a range of premium brandies, liqueurs and cocktails and small plates of cheese, charcuterie and desserts specifically chosen to pair perfectly with the drinks list. Open daily from 4pm to 11.30pm, we look forward to seeing you - whether you stop by spontaneously or book a table in advance.

Our drinks menu is thoughtfully curated to showcase the finest wines from across the UK, complemented by a select range of artisanal international options sourced from family run vineyards in Europe. At the heart of our cocktail offerings is Caru Brandy Liqueur, our premium house spirit, featured alongside classic brandy cocktails and a rotating selection of seasonal favourites. As a dedicated wine and brandy bar, we also present an exceptional collection of premium brandies and cognacs.

Drinks

Our artisanal cheese (supplied by IJ Mellis) and charcuterie (East Coast Cured) are curated to complement our wine and brandy menu, with suggested pairings listed for convenience.
