Vintage House reviews
A great shop with a great range in the wines and rums. But have to agree with scorpion14 that the grey-haired man is somewhat weird (if you are visiting this shop, be prepared!). But other staff ain't much better - must drink the whisky before they sell it!

Amazed by the comments on "weird staff". Perhaps you have to be a bit eccentric or anorak-ish to work in such a shop which boasts such an incredible selection, but having got to know one particular staff member some years back, he always welcomes me with a dram, and more often or not it results in a sale! A couple of years ago I went in late on a Friday, and they were offering free samples of a new Bowmore range. I must have stayed for an hour - a most convivial hour too, chatting with the staff who invited me to refill my glass more than once - eventually leaving, pleasantly inebriated, with a bottle of Talsker 18 under my arm.

Just got back from London. A visit to the Vintage House was a delightful experience. Great selection and wonderful staff.

I agree with o sullivan: very strange staff, excellent shop, wonderful selection of rums and tequilas. The grey-haired man with the glasses and high trousers is certainly worth avoiding... there is something of the night about him.

This is a store with outstanding stock. However, the staff are somewhat odd, especially the grey-haired man with the high trousers. But don't be put off by him - the other staff are quite helpful, if not normal...

I do not know about Bob's experience, but all I have ever received in this shop is friendly and informed advice.

Great selection but the worst staff ever. I don't think that they even know the meaning of the expression 'customer service'. Prepare to be abused by these people.

Really helpful staff, great products. Their 'own' malt whisky is gorgeous.

Aside from the wine selection, this has possibly the most awesome range of whisky in London, and is usually the most reasonably priced.
