  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
  • Neighbourhood gem
In August 2014 we opened the doors to our shop and bar in the Victorian arches beneath the Holborn Viaduct. There is history here, the site having served as a wine cellar for over 150 years, most recently as Oddbin’s fine wine store.

During the day the vaults serve as our office, warehouse and tasting room, as well as shop where the general public can buy our wines. At night it becomes a beautiful, atmospheric, candle-lit wine bar.

In the bar we charge £14 corkage on the retail price, except between 12 and 4pm where no corkage is charged. Our list is ever changing, not only showing wines that we import ourselves but also wines that we have tasted and are passionate for, supplied from fellow importers. We also offer a small amount of old Bordeaux, Burgundy, Port and Madeira from our private cellars.

    Very nice venue, smells a bit but you very soon get used to it. Great selection of wines, very cosy, good food options, and friendly service - if a bit slow initially. For a slow evening catch up, it's perfect

    Great wine and incredible snacks, absolutely delicious. Very big space so doesn’t feel that cosy and was a touch on the cold side. But great venue, we’ll be back.

    Atmospheric vault wine bar, reasonable flat mark up on their shop prices ultimately makes this a good place to drink decent wine at a fair price in central London. Simple food, meats, cheese, raclette sandwiches, etc to nibble with it.

    There is a really comprehensive wine list at relatively reasonable value ( given the enormous increases in the cost of wine in the last couple of years) I had a modest meal of salmon pate and duck rilettes having had no lunch earlier in the day. Both were dry and tasteless and quite unpleasant. If you go here you would be advised to avoid the food based on my experience. .
