Winter Wine Bar looking fantastic

Ty’r Winch Winter Wine Bar Opens This Weekend – Your Festive Favourite Returns

There’s something magical about winter at Ty’r Winch — the lights, the atmosphere, and that unmistakable feeling of community. And now, one of our most-loved seasonal traditions is back. Our Winter Wine Bar officially opens this weekend, and we can’t wait to welcome you in for a festive drink (or two!).


A Cosy Winter Escape in St Mellons

Tucked outside the main pub in its own beautifully decorated space, our Winter Wine Bar has become a go-to spot for locals looking to unwind during the festive season. Expect warm lighting, rustic winter décor, and that unmistakable Ty’r Winch charm — the perfect backdrop for catching up with friends, sneaking in a date night, or warming up after Christmas shopping.


What’s On the Menu?

This year we’ve curated a fantastic mix of winter warmers and pub favourites, including:

  • Homemade Goulash Soup – rich, hearty, and perfect for chilly evenings
  • Mulled Wine – gently spiced and served piping hot
  • Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream – a favourite for both adults and kids
  • Beers, Ciders & Wines – all your favourites from the main bar
  • 0% & Low-Alcohol Options – for those driving or pacing themselves

We’ve kept everything simple, comforting, and full of flavour — just what winter calls for.


Opening Dates for 2025

We’ll be open on the following dates:

Friday 5th & Saturday 6th
Friday 12th & Saturday 13th
Thursday 19th – Tuesday 24th (six days straight!)

Come along once… or come along every night. We don’t judge.

Perfect for Festive Meet-Ups

Whether you’re planning a Christmas catch-up with friends, a family evening out, or a quick drink after work, the Winter Wine Bar gives you a relaxed festive space without the need to book. Just turn up, grab a drink, and settle into the winter vibes.

Follow Us for Updates

We’ll be sharing photos, behind-the-scenes videos, and special features throughout December. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for sneak peeks and live updates — including when the goulash is freshly made!
