The Winemaker's Club
If you are in need of a large place for a group gathering, or you simply want to escape into an authentic wine cellar, stop by The Winemaker’s Club in the Farringdon area. The unique cellar has been reinvented over the years, but has always remained true to its wine roots for 150 years.
Today, it carries on the tradition as a natural wine bar. They have many French varietals beyond Bordeaux and Burgundy, as well as a good selection of Spanish wines, Italian, German, Australian and more. The staff are very knowledgeable and welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable too. While the original Farringdon location is hard to beat, you can also visit their second bar in Deptford, where you can drink the same great wines.
