Here's our list of the best places to drink wine in London
- Amethyst in Mayfair is opening Vinum wine bar underneath its restaurant
Back when we first visited Carlo Scotto's restaurant Amethyst, we spotted that there was quite a lovely downstairs bar space. But the exacting chef wanted to get his restaurant operating perfectly before he moved on to working out what to do with that bar.
Now he's about to open
... - Giacco's wine bar hits up Highbury's Blackstock Road
Eagle-eyed N5 residents will have noticed work going on over the past few months at former arts space Light Eye Mind on Blackstock Road. This week it unveiled itself as an Italian-accented wine bar, Giacco's.
The bar's owners are Leonardo and his partner Danilo. Leonardo is the one with the background in hospitality - he used to run the Farewell Cafe which used to play host to popups from the likes of Ling Ling
... - Sager + Wilde are opening Equal Parts, a new Amaro and aperitivo bar on Hackney Road
Updated 11/3/23 with bar opening details
Keeping their business strictly local, the team behind one of London's best wine bars have quietly opened a new place. Sager + Wilde have been a huge influence on London's wine scene since they first opened their Hackney wine bar almost a decade ago (followed up by a restaurant on Paradise Row and Fare on Old Street). Now, they've taken on a new
... - The Beefsteaks take over the Manze pie shop on Islington's Chapel Market
A Hot Dinners exclusive
It's been three years since the old Manze pie and mash shop closed its doors on Chapel Market, marking the end of an era after over 100 years of business. But, as one door closes, another opens, and walking past the empty building on Chapel Market back in 2020 proved to be a lightbulb moment for Alex Pashby of street food traders The Beefsteaks. His lease on a railway arch
... - The Bishop's Vaults is Liverpool Street's new wine bar
Now that Dry January's firmly behind us, what better time to announce a brand new wine bar in the city. The place in question is The Bishop's Vaults which takes over the former Boisdale of Bishopsgate site.
The two-floored bar from the Young's pub group will, given its position in the heart of the city, feature a short list for a wine bar but one that focuses more on spendy options like Bollinger, Amarone
... - Tooting Broadway Market’s Henny’s Wine Bar moves to Balham
Tooting Broadway Market’s loss is Balham’s gain, with the news that Henny’s Wine Bar has upped sticks and set up shop in leafy Balham. If you’re a fan of ethical and sustainably sourced biodynamic wines, you’ll no doubt already have Henny’s on your radar, but their new hangout space intends to be so much more than the place to quaff a Muscat from Conca de Barberà or discuss the merits of funky orange drop from Puglia.
- The Drunken Butler to open wine bar Emmanuelle in Clerkenwell
They've quietly been getting a strong following in Clerkenwell and now The Drunken Butler (now renamed Tehran-Berlin) are getting ready to open a wine bar opposite their restaurant.
Announced by owner Yuma Hashemi (who once had something of a
... - Islington's Trullo has opened a wine bar next door
Hot Dinners exclusive
Highbury Corner in Islington is doing rather well for wine bars right now. Not only does it have Yield and, a short 10-minute walk away, Provisions (both shops by day, wine bars in the evening) but one of Islington's best restaurants has also just opened a wine bar next door.
Trullo's wine bar takes over what used to be their shop. It's a tiny space
... - Test Driving 56 West Smithfield - a groundbreaking wine bar in the City
Given the current cost of living crisis we're all for a new wine bar that's bringing down the cost of drinking good wine.
- The Bleeding Heart wine bar reopens its doors in Farringdon
In the same month we lost one of London's oldest restaurants (fingers crossed that's only temporary) it's good to hear that another of London's eighteenth century hostelries is being resurrected.
The Bleeding Heart Wine Bar's doors have been closed since the pandemic. And faint hearts
... - Oranj, a new natural wine bar and kitchen, to open in Shoreditch
Updated 7/11/22 with opening date
It was only a matter of time: Shoreditch is getting its first natural wine bar. Starting out in 2020 as a next-day-UK-wide-wine-delivery service during lockdown, Oranj is morphing beyond being an online portal to a dedicated bar and kitchen, where you can sip low-ABV reds from Jura while chatting with rotating guest chefs doing residencies in a
... - 56 Smithfield gives Farringdon an affordable new wine bar
We're always keen to hear about new wine bars opening in London. The arrival of 56 Smithfield in Farringdon couldn't be more handy in these cash-pressed times, particularly when you hear that this new spot is selling all the wines at their original, local winery prices. If you fancy drinking in, then just add a fiver as a corkage fee.
The folk behind it are the family who run organic vineyard Château De La
... - The Drop wine bar heads west to Kensington
They already have wine bars on Drury Lane and in Clapham and now Drop Wine bar has just opened another - this time in Kensington.
The Drop (also a wine delivery app) comes from Ian Campbell and Will Palmer, who also happen to be the pair behind The Ten Cases and Parsons in Covent Garden. The Drops are all run independently, however, and this West London outpost is owned and
... - Test Driving Cadet - an instant wine and charcuterie hit on Newington Green
Bring two wine importers, a charcuterie genius and a chef trained up at London's hottest restaurants together and you have the team behind this hit wine bar on Newington Green.
