What you’ll find
Forget stiff sommelier vibes Vagabond has turned wine tasting into something fun, social and refreshingly down to earth. Their self-pour wine machines let you try over 100 bottles by the taster or the glass, with no pressure, no pretense, just good wine and great vibes.
Simply top up a card, browse the bottles, and pour as much or as little as you fancy. Whether you’re curious about orange wines, partial to a chilled red, or looking for something crisp and mineral, this is one of the most enjoyable ways to explore new grapes and regions.
The space itself is warm and inviting, with plenty of seating, stylish interiors and a buzzy crowd, especially in the evenings. Friendly, knowledgeable staff are always on hand to offer tips or talk you through the latest finds if you want some expert guidance.
Add a menu of small plates, cheeses, charcuterie, olives and more and you’ve got the perfect setting for date night, after-work drinks or spontaneous weekend tastings with friends.
One-liner
A playful wine bar where you’re in control of the pour and the pace.
