About Plonkers Bar

Plonkers Bar is a bar in Brentford on Riviera Corson Yard, with supercars displayed in a central showroom inside, so there are cars to look at over a drink. The bar moved here from its old premises. By day it serves morning coffee and pastries, and in the evening the menu turns to wine and cocktails. Wine tastings come with cheese pairing, and cheese platters and a charcuterie platter are served. Music playlists play in the bar, and Sunday brings vinyl sessions. The bar is open Thursday to Sunday and closed Monday to Wednesday. In summer, events are hosted on the rooftop next door.

Customer Review Summary

Wine tasting is what reviewers return to most at Plonkers Bar, with one group describing a birthday evening of tasting, cheese pairing and a charcuterie platter, and another recalling a cheese platter and four glasses to try. The host draws repeated praise for deep wine knowledge and an infectious passion, and several call the staff friendly and knowledgeable. Close behind is the setting: supercars in the central showroom, which reviewers call fantastically bizarre and a perfect addition to the vibe. Others mention Sunday vinyl sessions, cocktails, and a menu running from morning coffee and pastries to evening wine. One reviewer says the quality dipped after the move from the old premises, though another feels it is just as special now. One dissenting reviewer found the room small and loud on a weekend night, could hear other conversations, called the wines not elaborate and overpriced, and was unhappy to be charged a service charge after a single round. That reviewer also noted the venue is in an old house rather than the vintage garage they expected.
