Diogenes the Dog offers a fresh take on wine bar culture in south London.
Set in a refurbished pub on Rodney Road, the space features forest-green walls, warm wood accents, and plenty of greenery.
By day, it runs as a café and bottle shop; by night, it shifts into a sociable wine bar with shelves of curated global “underdog” wines. Attentive sommeliers help guide each selection.
The food leans casual but thoughtful—small plates like oysters, rillettes, cheese boards, and spicy salads designed to complement the wine.
It’s easygoing hospitality with a focus on exploration.
