Vagabond Wines Battersea Power Station in Wandsworth

Tom was very helpful recommending us lots of different wines that we wouldn’t usually try! The ambiance of the bar was great and the food was very nice!

What a fantastic experience. Great wines to choose from and a lovely member of staff calls Daria who helped us choose what we wanted to taste and drink. She made our whole experience wonderful lovely friendly staff . Nice to see . The croquetas were amazing as was the octopus . Lovely experience definitely coming back next time we are re in town. Thank you Daria for making it special

Our friends had been once before, which was handy, as they showed us the topes. There is a good selection of wines which are self service. The ones we chose were good and at reasonable prices. We had a couple of beers as well. We shared a large ham and cheese charcuterie board which was a little disappointing. The meat side was ok but there were only 2 small pieces of cheese. We were going to order more Tapas but this put me off. We would definitely return for drinks.

Great location. Great premises. Great wine. So, why such a poor rating ? The staff ! 3 members of staff- guy behind the bar greeted me as I walked around to view all the different wines in the self service stations. That was good. I had a glass of rose out on the front terrace-2 female members of staff talking to each other and blocking the entrance. Not a word was uttered to me. No recognition that I was a customer paying ther wages ! Lol. A finished my glass of rose, went to the toilet and chose a white wine on my way back. I chose a different table as my empty wine glass remained on my table as their chat continued. Again not even eye contact. You don't go places to be ignored! I would NEVER return. There were only 2 other customers in the place ! They were lucky- they were spoken too! - but, heh, is that lucky ????? Get your act together, please! I was going to have lunch bit we all have a choice where we spend our monet and so I went around d the corner to one of the many other venues and had a great lunch. See later review.

Great very reasonably priced menu with the benefit off having a great wine by the glass fantastic for people watching good coffee

They serve tea in a tea pot!!! For an avid tea drinker, you try and find tea in a tea pot in London. So we had to stay for lunch. As a tapas bar it’s magic. The Cauliflower with spices was fantastic. Meat balls in a rich sauce. Potato bravas full of flavour. Kate the manager was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They had many wines all on tap. Select your glass size, pay and the pour. Nearly 80-100 wines available. A must find for anybody who goes outside of Battersea shopping stadium.

This is a really difficult one because I’ve been there a couple of times before and really enjoyed and have been to the Victoria site This was for my husband’s birthday. They were eight of us I had pre-booked I had advised it was a special occasion. I don’t expect anything but even a happy birthday would’ve been nice. First time I went to this venue was in January we ordered the mixed meat and cheeseboard which was lovely. Couldn’t finish it. There was a lot of meat compared to bread . So this time we ordered extra bread, we were only having a snack because we’d booked dinner somewhere else , there was half the amount of meat that we had previously received in January in both the Victoria site and Battersea . The Victoria site I’ve been to four times and always felt welcomed with a great atmosphere staff really lovely. I didn’t think this was the case in the Battersea.

Good selection of wines but you have to pour yourself with the wine machines. Have not used these before but worked it out. It was a cold day so stopped in for a glass of red . Nice casual place that serves good as well.

Great concept, try wines and great little food plates. We very much enjoyed the athmosphere as well as the food and 100 wine choices.

Celebrated Hubby's 60th birthday with a wine tasting experience hosted by the amazing Kate. 15 of us were really well looked after. Kate was funny, interesting and knowledgeable and introduced us to some delicious new wines. The sharing boards were tasty. The whole experience was perfect and relaxed even though the venue was very busy. We can't thank Kate enough - she was epic. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic afternoon of wine tasting. Kate who took our class was great! Really knows her stuff and was fun to be with :)

Very bad experience! Popped in for lunch with some guests from Italy at 1.15pm, a lovely Brazilian girl told us we would have to leave the table by 2pm. We didn't know how the system works (another waiter told us about the QR code on the table) after a couple of attempts we ordered (and paid) at the bar and asked if we had enough time to eat, we were told the waiting time is normally 10-15min and we would have enough time... we were in a hurry anyway. At 1.45 pm a young lady, who appeared to be the manager, very abruptly told us that we should have known better and started telling us it took us too long to order and she wanted the table free at 2 pm anyway... and promptly left. The Lovely Brazilian girl came and told us she would sit us in front of the kitchen... basically at the pass overlooking the staff preparing food. The "manager" told the waitress to serve our food at the pass. We had to carry all our cutlery, glasses and drinks, nobody offered to help. The lovely girl came back and apologised for the situation and asked what she could do, I told her, ironically, that a full refund would have been nice and I would have appreciated them telling us we wouldn't have been able to finish our lunch which is what we were told by three restaurants we had been to before. I also told her I was sorry it had happened to her because she was so nice, but I didn't like the attitude of the "manager" at all! If that wasn't enough, the cook tried to make me feel bad as the lovely girl was feeling unwell as a result of the situation. He also implied that we had misunderstood each other because we had spoken Italian... the lovely girl chose to speak Italian, i've been living and working in London for nearly 20 years, so language is not an issue. I could not believe it! I'm not going to feel bad because you guys don't know how to manage a restaurant and your customers... Horrible experience! What had been a very nice morning with guests had resulted in us leaving with anger and a sad feeling... at a cost of £80. I now understand why some people feel the need to leave negative reviews... I've never left one before and it hurts, but for the benefit of others on this occasion it feels like the right thing to do. Sonia

Last Saturday my family and I went to the Vagabond Battersea restaurant for dinner. We were immediately greeted with kindness by the restaurant manager who found us a large table where we sat on large, comfortable stools. I was immediately impressed by the large selection of hundreds of wines from all over the world, all displayed in the centre of the venue, which you can freely choose from and also drink by the single glass via a card. The room is very spacious and the warm lighting makes the atmosphere pleasant and cosy. The menu is very extensive and the food tastes great and is well matched to each other. It was possible to eat buffalo mozzarella and Italian cold cuts as well as butter, pate and French cheeses. The meat, combined with different salads and sauces, was very tender and tasty. The quantities on the plates were plentiful. It was very nice to meet and thank the restaurant's chef, Altin, who kindly presented all the dishes, bringing professionalism and a smile to us all. The background music was at an unobtrusive volume and the play list was carefully chosen with pleasant tunes of English hits from years gone by. It was a pleasant evening and I will be happy to return

Cibi deliziosi e ottmi vini n abbinamento. Ricercatezza nella presentazione e nelle materie prime utilizzate. Oltre le mie aspettative. Carni morbide e saporite pane e focaccia croccante per accompagnare salsine e il burro di Normandia paradisiaco. Verdure grigliate superlative Da tornarci!,

What a great place Melissa was the best server asked her about a wine and she knew what I was taking about Instantly

We were only meant to visit for one quick drink but stayed far, far longer than anticipated. The wines were superb and it was great to have a little taste of wine costing £80-90 a bottle. The biggest problem though was that terrible hostess Melissa🤦‍♀️. She was so attentive, so friendly, so knowledgeable that she made it so difficult to leave. Melissa we’ll be back!!!!

Popped in for some lunch (four dishes) and drinks. Our order took 45minutes to arrive, and it was only three out of the four dishes and no drinks. The food was lovely and very hot. Two of our drinks arrived half way through eating, and the other two arrived after we’d finished eating. Our fourth dish turned up just as we were ready to leave. Staff were semi apologetic, but clearly too busy to care very much. It’s shame the 12.5% service charge is compulsory when you place your order, as we didn’t feel it was justified given the poor service.

We ended up here when we were struggling to find a place for lunch around Battersea PowerStation. We waited at the entrance as it was signed “wait to be seated” even though it wasn’t busy & there didn’t appear to be any staff. We ended up just walking in & sat at a table which was near the counter/kitchen area at the front, there was an awful smell of old fish, not at all pleasant, so we move to a sofa. Whilst on the move we were intercepted by a member of staff who explained the ordering, payment & wine system, all self service. The wine selection is extensive but the red is chilled?! Food is OK, small portions but pricey & not an extensive menu. There were boxes & water bottles stacked by the toilets, not a great look & not safe, & the toilets have to be the smallest I have ever come across. All in all not a great experience, we’ve been to similar style establishments in Spain & Portugal, this place misses the spot. Lastly, even though it’s all self service you are charged a 12.5% service charge!

Back to Vagabond we went! What a fabulous evening of wine and a LOT of laughter! Special shout-out to Adam who was very attentive with us and gave fabulous wine recommendations. See you next time Vagabond…

Went with family who had visited in past and loved this unusual wine bar. It was such an unusual wine bar, like a unique wine tasting of individual choice and we will definitely return.

We went to vagabond wines on Friday on a whim and by Jove I’m glad I did!! We were taken care of by one of the loveliest waitresses I’ve ever encountered. Jessie was a breath of fresh air and was so patient with us when explaining how all the newfangled technology works (it’s wine from a machine, how amazing!). All in all we had great wine; white, red and… ORANGE! And a lovely chat about wine with Jessie. Will definitely be back!

Loved this place. It had got such a great vibe and the staff are extremely professional and friendly. In terms of the food and drink varied and well priced. I will definitely return!!!

Located opposite Battersea Power Station, this restaurant is a hidden gem. It is predominantly a Spanish tapas restaurant, but it's no ordinary tapas restaurant because it's unique selling point is that it offers a pay-as-you-go concept with its vast range of wines they offer. Nearly...

A good interactive way of having drinks with friends or significant others. They do have other drinks as well if you're not a wine drinker but the addition of being able to try wine is a good way to try some new things as well....

I visited Vagabond this weekend after a recommendation from some colleagues, and I have to say it went above expectations! Adam was very attentive and informative about the different flavour profiles of the wines, and it made all the difference to our experience!

Always good and the best wine bar in town. Excellent selection of wines, from Spanish, French, and Californian Napa valley wines. Me and my Mrs had a few glasses of elegant and bold wines accompanied with a platter of Food. Special mentions to Manager Ben...

This restaurant has over 100 wines, which are served on tap, a customer walks around and studies the description of each bottle, tasting size glasses are available, before buying a full size glass . My friend and I had a selection of small plates of...

A great place to try new wines with friends, you can pay for a small taste before buying a full glass. Great wines on offer We found the staff very helpful and put you at ease should it be your first time, explaining and walking...

We ended up here when we were struggling to find a place for lunch around Battersea powerstation. It could be a good wine bar as there seemed to be a lot of choice and a good atmosphere, but we were disappointed about the food. The...

A great Vagabond location. The concept is dozens of wines on self service machines to try in whatever serving you want. The ambience was lively but not noisy. Service was excellent with well advised recommendations for wines to try. This location also has on site...

I came here with my lovely partner of 6 years and we were celebrating a nice and wonderful date night, after enjoying a nice scenery and battersea power station. We came here for a nice quick drink. Little did we know it’s going to be...

My partner and I enjoyed a lovely evening at Vagabond Battersea. We had the steak sharer and it was delicious. Our server Melissa was so helpful and funny, she definitely contributed to the great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to friends and we will 100% be...

The wine selection is okay but does tend to miss the spot a bit, sauvignon blanc from Chilli rather than Marlborough etc and the food is small and mediocre. The steak sharer is really good and reasonable value but the duck pate tasted of tuna...

I stopped into the Vagabond wines whilst my husband was at an appointment and I was killing time, for a glass of wine and a snack. I have never been here before but I have to say it is the most amazing place. The idea...

I went with my daughter in the early evening. I could not see a price list. I asked the lady behind the bar how much was the house gin . She said it was £6 for a double. So I ordered the house gin with...

Apple, walnut & brie flatbread pizza sounded very tasty & with a salad too! The side salad was no more than a small bowl of rocket & the pizza had so little apple & walnut that it was incredibly bland - ok if you just...

As with everything, you can have a great idea but without the great people it will fall flat. Vagabond Battersea was the perfect place to enjoy a Saturday lunch. We were welcomed by attentive and genuine staff who saw to our every need. Food was...

I loved my Evening at Vagabond Battersea. This place is stylish. Great tapas menu, excellent wines, superb location near the river, not too noisy. Lovely red wine (Portuguese) recommended by waiter Andrew, who was both charming and highly efficient. Strongly recommended.

If I could leave 0 I honestly would. I have to say I've been to several of the Vagabond locations and I'm forever recommending it to my friends and family. However, unfortunately, the manager on duty last night really let them down. Myself and my...

Positives - wine selction is good and staff were amazing Negatives - opertionally flawed, you pay for drinks with the app, takes ages to sign up and has no integration with Apple Pay, when you scan what you want takes 2-3 attempts, also the not...

Erika was so lovely, tasted some great wines and will be back for more in the new year! Love the area too, it’s so beautiful around Christmas

Amazing service, shame we had to leave early but the gent who served me knee his wines very well. Lovey concept. Lady customer service Laura Mccarthy was amazing and resolving issue I had. Very thorough and friendly. Thank

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and Erika was just fantastic. She walked us through the process, recommended a fabulous wine and we had an awesome time!!! Great visit!

This is a good place to try a range of wine with it's quirky design and helpful staff. A lovely lady called Marija provided my friend and I with brilliant wine recommendations and definitely widened our knowledge of wine! The downfall is the size and...

First visit and will definitely return when next in London. Great concept and the staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. Dogs are welcome which is great too.

I love Vagabond for the choice you get - unfortunately due to restrictions we couldn't go up and get our own, but the online ordering to table is easy and we still had a brilliant time. Can't wait to go back and experience it properly...

Thank you Ange! You and your colleagues made our experience incredible. We look forward to seeing you again

great selection of wines, red , white , Rose and Sparkling, nice vibe and atmosphere, never had a bad night in here.

Interesting concept but wines are not by country which is not great. Music a little loud for normal chat. Recommended

Vagabond wine bar has many branches in London. I personally now know that I prefer the one at the Clapham junction the best. Yesterday I decided with my friend to try out the one at the Battersea power station, and it wasn’t the best idea....

First time in here tonight. The concept is fun. Nice wine assortment. The service was lacking and the order process was confusing. If they can improve service, make it less complicated to order that would help tremendously.

Four of us visited the vagabond after a recommendation from my daughters friend. It was a fun place where you could try any one of a very large number of wines. You serve yourself via some electronic wizardry which delivers wine in varying amounts -think...

Good selection of wines, and beautifully executed ambience. The food was a tad disappointing; the steak sandwich was rather tough, and came with no small salad garnish , or offer of mustard. Also , to our mind, rather overpriced Think of this more as a...

We went to Vagabond twice while in London and loved it both times. The service was good, the people knowledgable and the food was delicious. The cheese and prostuto(sp?) crochettes were the best we've ever had. Try the Vagaond Merlot. Smooth all the way through

We visited here on a Friday night in May. We had been recommended by our son to try and decided to give it a go. It was a warm evening and the large front window was completely raised to provide a nice indoor/ outdoor feel....

Vagabond is a wine bar with locations across London. But this place is different from any other wine bar. How? Because ordering wine is a self-service process. But is it nothing more than a gimmick? First thing I noticed was the mind-blowing selection of wine...

We stopped by for a light lunch, only spoilt by the knowledge that I was being cooked a large dinner that I was looking forward to, otherwise I could have sat in Vagabond for most of the afternoon sampling the enormous selection of wines and...

Really nice wine bar. Large selection of wines by the glass for tasting. Charcuterie and cheeses to accompany. Friendly service. Nice ambiance.

I hosted a birthday party for 30 friends and everyone loved it. The atmosphere is great, you can pick and choose wine by the glass from the huge variety on offer. It is a fantastic concept and the Vagabond team are really good at suggesting...

Not a bad place, hard to find it though. Nice food, not expensive. The day we visit with my girlfriend wasnt the best because one alarm from the building up start and was totally noisy. Anyway look like a relaxing place when is quiet.

Finished lunch and strolled around the area. saw this wine bar which looked very interesting. We didn't eat or drink here but worked out you buy vouchers to use in the wine machines and select what you need. The layout is great and very atmospheric.

Went last night to celebrate my son's birthday. I loved the concept of the place. Wine by the glass fresh from the barrel with potential to try multiple wines and experience different flavours. The place is in a rapidly developing and very modern area of...

We have been to Vagabond a few times since it opened here in Battersea and dropped in today as we felt like a relaxed, grazing lunch. Great decision! David and Ali were front of house and could not have been more helpful. David was great...

Wines are very expensive for what they are. don't buy the £20.00 cheese board only worth £8.00 at the most. Likewise the cooked meat plater value only £10.00 not a very good experience, nice venue great staff amazing location. would not recommend because of poor...
