Historic subterranean wine bar with Victorian charm. Candle‑lit, old‑world cellar serving cheese boards and wine. Located in London.

Established in 1890 and often cited as London’s oldest wine bar, Gordon’s sits below street level in vaulted stone cellars steeped in history.

Inside, flickering candlelight, old oak barrels, and royal-era memorabilia create a warm, communal atmosphere. Tables are fashioned from barrels, and many wines are poured straight from battered casks.

Outside, a heated terrace invites guests to sip and people-watch year-round.

The wine list includes global classics, ports, sherries, and lesser-known finds—many available by the glass or from the barrel.

Generous sharing boards of cheese, cold cuts, pies, and scotch eggs keep things satisfying without fuss.

Why should you go to this venue?

Gordon’s appeals for its timeless, whisper-soft ambiance and easygoing authenticity.

It’s a place where history literally drips from the walls and the only lighting comes from candles and warmth from the wine.

The wine list is impressive in volume and variety—think Hungarian Pinot Noir, Indian Reserve, aged ports with value pricing.

Food—mainly cheese boards and cold plates—provides satisfying pairing options without needing a booking.

Despite its popularity, the first‑come‑first‑served system means you can still find a spot solo, as long as you arrive early.

It’s ideal for a pre‑dinner drink, urban oyster‑bar alternative, or a quiet evening drink with friends.
