Vagabond Wines in City of London, Westminster

Last night my friends and I had an amazing time! The cozy ambiance and impressive wine selection were perfect. The manager Olga made us feel welcome with her excellent recommendations. We can’t wait to be back!

What a great evening !! Amazing service and fantastic staff. Olga made sure we all had the best time and her wine advice hit all boxes. We tried wines we never had before. Highly recommend *****

Lati is incredible! Her enthusiasm, knowledge of wines, recommendations and gregariousness are unparalleled. Give her a raise and promote her!

We had Lati helping us out today - what a champion! She helped us taste different wines, was incredible helpful and an absolute delight! Would recommend coming 10/10 just for her!

Great place to share wine and a chat with friends. The music also made it to a nice bubbly atmosphere. Many wines to choose from, however nothing extremely refined with some of the options being rather expensive.

Amazing service from LATI definatly a place to visit !! Great wine and feel free to fer the advice of the staff in place who are realy amazing !! Thank you !!

Visited 9/11/24. Seated within a couple of minutes. Provided with several great recommendations of wine from Star and Luis and felt like we had a very informed and personal service. The Fondu food platter was amazing and enhanced the experience. The music playlist was the perfect vibe and created the perfect setting for a memorable evening. Definitely recommend, especially if you are able to chat and be served by Star and Luis!

Served by star, very knowledgeable about her wines, lovely service and made us feel very comfortable. Will definitely be returning. Thank you so much Star!

Lati was amazing. It was my first time and she really helped me with choices.

Andrei was amazing and made the wine and cheese experience really good! He’s really knowledgeable and encourages discussion, had the best time!

Andrei was great, really knowledgeable and easy to talk to! Great wine and cheese, really enjoyed the experience!

Fantastic wine tasting w Andrei as a host! So knowledgeable, engaging and hospitable!

Lati was the best. We had an awesome bday party in here. Cheers xD

Thank you Lati for an amazing service for our friends birthday party, we always enjoy the service here at vagabond.

Lait was amazing!! Such a good venue I fully recommend

Star is an absolute star. Service was amazing, she talked us through the wines and made sure we had a lovey night. Thank you so much!

Hired downstairs for private party. Perfect space, near toilets, unbelievable personal service from LATI, superb platter party food. Excellent value.

We went to Vagabond Soho for a few drinks before our anniversary dinner. The staff were just lovely, especially Star. She was so knowledgeable, took the time to understand what we were after and recommended some excellent wines. We had such a fab time there and will def be back.

Olga was very friendly and professional she helped us to find our wine. I absolutely recommend this place, nice and professional staff with cozy atmosphere.

Had a great experience. Latifun was amazing and super helpful

Latifun was great and helped a lot

We had Savi host our wine tasting with a twist networking event.. great fun, great atmosphere and great wine.. fun time had by all thank you very much… would highly recommend for client networking we had 23 guests and the room downstairs worked perfectly!

The experience has been amazing. Latifun is super helpful I love her sooo much.

Had a lovely time with Latifun hosting!!!

Large selection of wines, including sparkling wines, pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff. I liked the idea when you can choose what and how much to pour, almost like at gas stations.

Star wars the star of the show. We would come back just for her service. The other vagabonds need a Star!

Waitress:Star ⭐️ Star was exceptional waiting our table, she was insightful, informative and really understood what we required when visiting vagabond charlotte street, she is trustworthy with her recommendations and i couldn't recommend this branch more because of this,

Such an amazing variety of different wines. The Charlotte street location has a great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly, Star was especially kind and knowledgable.

Star was absolutely fantastic. She knew tons about the wine and was really welcoming

The hostess Star was amazing, so helpful and kind :)

We came for drinks, Star was an absolute delight!! She made us feel so welcome, a real asset to the company, I will definitely be back to see Star again - this is the quality of service one should expect at any bar in London!

Star was amazing! We came for drinks and ended up staying for food as the service from Star was so good. Such a great atmosphere

Excellent place, Excellent Staff, Excellent wines. Yesterday we were served by Lati She was mind blowing! She offered us excellent rose (Jadis) which we all loved! It was superb! the wine machine was having some issues downstairs, though she did run upstairs and grab us a proper sized drink and she was very humbled, we talked about wines! And we will keep visiting Vagabond for excellent wine collection and for Lati as well!!

Went for the wine tasting class, our sommelier was Savi, she was very helpful and very informative, she took her time to explain each one and we had loads of fun. Pleasant evening.

Very Good place for spent time with friends. Delicious food, helpful staff. We were served by Lati, she was amazing and friendly with smile on her face all the time. She advised the wine exactly what we wanted. Will visit again

10/10, thankyou to Fredrico for being so helpful and accommodating. Food was amazing and the wine delicious. Highly recommend

My friend and I had a wine tasting session with Savi, and we really enjoyed it. It was easily understandable, easy to follow. There was a variety pf wine and cheese to taste, and Savi was very patient and kind to answer any questions we had.

Great wine and food - really nice place!

Francesca was amazing! So knowledgeable and fun. Thank you

I’ve had amazing experiences at this wine bar. Service was top notch, been greeted by an amazing lady called Savi that explained me how everything works and let me try a a few wines before I was sure what to get. Absolutely amazing service and I’ll be definitely coming back!

Nice and wide selection of wines. Smart system to pour yourself a glass of wine (self-service).

Fantastic wines and good vibes. Lewis was very helpful and knowledgeable!

Even the best and most original concepts for innovative customer experience, like this selfservice automated vinothèque, rely on proper execution. The glasses put at the disposal of customers were almost all of them incredibly dirty, not properly washed, or wet and warm with patches of some grey residue. Politely pointing this out to the staff, did not meet with enthusiasm. So we left after one glass of reasonably good if overpriced SB.

We had such a good time! Birthday drinks that were extra special and latifun was wonderful she was so helpful and so accommodating helping with our difficult customer requests… She deserves a raise!

So many choices. Sample sizes for £2 so you can try many options before going for a class.

Had a brilliant night at Vagabondp. Jo was an exceptional host and guide in our choices. Absolutely recommend!!

Comparing to the other Vagabond's, this one is a little bit small. It was airless when visited on a cold winter evening. Maybe it could be good in the spring/summer, but you can look into others in cold weather.

Jo was exceptional, thanks for a great recommendation of wines

They have a lot of easy-going wine but apparently not enough complex wine. The price range was pretty similar, and the wine list was average. Although the staff were very attentive.

Amazing spot for a date. Selection of wine and drinks on point

Excellent service and kind staff. Fun experience where you get to pour your own wine!

When the concept of this bar was explained to me, I was far from convinced. The smart casual decor is pleasant. If you don't know, you serve yourself from wine dispensers. I am now a fully fledged convert. It's a great idea, which encouraged me to try a wider variety of wines than I would normally do. Staff are friendly, making suggestions without ever being pushy. Cheese and charcuterie board added to our enjoyment rounding off a very relaxing afternoon.

Vagabond is a chain of wine bars that offer 100ts of different glasses of wine. Good vibe. The food was reasonably good but not great.

Patatas Bravas were undercooked. Meatballs were overcooked. Croquetas were okay. You are required to order everything via app (you manage the wine pouring yourself too) but they charge a fee for or using the app. Even though there's no wait staff, they automatically bill a "service charge." The vibe and atmosphere were nice.

Enjoyable atmosphere and novel wine dispensing/choosing set up

Good atmospere, but rather overpriced and the food portions were small (good qualiyy)

This bar is such a great idea for anyone wanting to taste and learn more about wine. The atmosphere is great too! It's a very tiny bar but very lively. We tasted some starters to share and it was overall a bit disappointing. I wish they enhanced this tasting experience, expanding the menu and suggesting pairings for each of the wines. It's a bit expensive but I guess that for central London this is okay. Love the concept. Will definitely be back. Just not for food 😅

The selection of wine is interesting and we loved being able to taste lots of wines as you can have a small portion and tap your card to pay. The food we ordered wasn’t good. Bland undercooked cauliflower, beef brisket in some sort of bbq sauce, over salted potatoes and meatballs. Probably better to either stick to bread and olives with your wine or eat somewhere else. It’s a great vibe and if we hadn’t eaten there we would have given 5 stars.

Excellent selection of wine, great ambience and outstanding customer service. I chose this spot as I’m new to the wine world and wanted to explore my options, and this is exactly what was delivered! If you’re looking to have a relaxing, cosy evening with great wine, then this is the place for you!

I have been to the branch in Victoria many times and it's fantastic. It mixes uber trendy, service and a great wine experience. However the manager here was so rude about us ordering, so unhelpful that it just all felt really sour. We needed help with the menu, she just didn't care and made us feel derogatory for asking questions. Fortunately though there was a young guy working there who was incredibly helpful and friendly and without him this would be a one star review. If he was running and managing the place it would be five stars, but this woman was so sour that I just don't want to go back. She was nice at the end of our meal but by that time it was too late. We just weren't feeling it and so only had one glass of wine each, then went to a local hotel bar nearby with real customer service and had a great time. To repeat, if the younger guy was the manager and doing the customer service we would have loved it and definitely return. The food was good though in very nicely done. I will return to their Victoria branch but probably not to this one.

What an absolute find on Charlotte Street. Lovely atmosphere and super choice of wines. Thanks too to Lewis for looking after us and the wine recommendations. Delicious!

Lovely concept and friendly atmosphere. It’s not too loud so you can chat with friends without shouting. The self serve aspect also makes it really easy to just grab what you want.

We popped into vagabond on a whim and were greeted by Alex's. We'd never been before but he was welcoming, informative and charming. The concept of vagabond is brilliant for any occasion and gives any wine lover a chance to get out of their comfort zone and try new wines without disappointing the table or wasting a bottle at a high mark up. We were the only ones there at midday but it still felt relaxing and inviting, will definitely be returning at the peak of our evening rather than the beginning!

Happened upon this gem whilst waiting for Monopoly on Tottenham Court Road. What a find! Every wine you could imagine with no commitment to buy a bottle. Sample everything and great choices on offer. Highly recommend the unusual Georgian wine and the house champagne! Delightful, reasonably priced tapas on offer for the perfect accompaniment to your deink choices. Atmosphere is vibing and decor on point. Love love love. Will be back for sure. This place is everything. You don't event have to wait for the bill because it is all paid up front. What’s not to love?

This was a fabulous find - friendly staff, lovely selection of small plates of food, 'do-it-yourself' wine and a casual atmosphere. I'd def go back :)

Hosted a team Christmas party for five at Vagabond. It was a great experience, the food was way above what I was expecting, and it kept coming. We went for the highest price Christmas Menu - I would highly recommend - it helped to mop up the lovely wine

Amy is the best xx Shout out Sophia 🇨🇦 x

Service was exceptional! Leila you went above and beyond in helping us sample the wines and find one we both liked. Thankyou so much - so kind and made the experience even more enjoyable! Would highly recommend☺️

First impression was the smell of fried food. It was really strong. We were impressed with the choice of wine but really quite pricey for a glass. So we opted for a bottle for which we had to ask three times for as the waiter kept forgetting, saying he was too busy. Busy? All the ordering is done via an Ap so all he had to do was deliver it, and it wasn’t even busy. For the food we opted for the small plates. We tried to order on the Ap but could only order 4 as the rest were unavailable. What we did have was pretty boring. And not very tasty. We went to the loo as we left and the smell in there was just dreadful. Give me waiter service anytime. At least you don’t have to give away a mass of information just to order a basket of bread.

The food here made my very sad. The sharing plates were cold and depressing. Eating them made me feel like I was locked outside in the rain without a coat. Except the arancini. Eating the arancini made me feel sick.

Had some great wine and the staff were lovely . Only issue is whole place smelt really strongly of fried food. Too strong. Will go back if they sort that out!

I like the concept of choosing my own drink in my own pace while reading the profile of each one. There are various options at different prices. We sat on a shared table. They offer tap water free of charge. Friendly staff.

Worth to try it one time, service needs to improve more.

Wow what can I say such a great atmosphere Sophia was just awesome! Great food great selection of wines!!

Oh my god! What a venue what an experience warm friendly welcome Sophia ! Showed us all round. Knowledge waa first class!!! You must visit

Fabulous concept. Attentive service. You go there for the wine and the snacks are bonus, but good.

Nice atmosphere. We were there for a private event and they could have made it a bit more organized but the tapas food was good and the automated wine bar was a nice novelty.

Great selection of wines, and detailed descriptions of each. I thought it was a fun way to try new wines, including orange wine! I would recommend the Vagabond rosé

Pretty cool, good variety of wines and casual but date-friendly atmosphere. Good for a quick one or to stay a while

Very cool concept I haven’t seen before. Do it all yourself and pour your own wine. Huge selection. Bet this is a fun place to unwind after work. They have food as well. We only had a glass of wine and moved on to dinner down the street. Great place to start before a dinner.

Great selection of wines (obviously) but the only thing that gets a bit frustrating is the bottles are not always replenished quickly enough. Their vegan cheese board is a must - honestly give it a try!

Really enjoyed popping in here for a glass of wine with a friend from out of town. Can recommend the Spienkop Pinotage, if you are looking for something with a bit of tannin and to have with food. Alexis, who greeted and helped us when we arrived, was very friendly. Could you guys consider a great Napa Valley Cab Sav for the future?

Love this bar! Self-serve and by the bottle. Team always friendly

Cozy afternoon, the fries with truffle oil are a must. Service on point, keep it up!

Cool and lively experience. Bring a contactless card and pay by the glass (or taster) of wine! Staff knowledgeable about the wines and helped me try to find a specific one. Has red, wine and rose in the optics. The food was nice - ordered pizza and some nibbly bits. As it's busy, table bookings are strict (our party arrived late due to transport issues!) As with all of these areas in London, it's not cheap.

Amazing place and the staff are so friendly and approachable. Big shout out to Andrew for being so helpful and introducing me to a new amazing wine!!

Remember it to be better.. The quality of food just blah.. basic non exciting cheeses, sour dough was stale (you could just toast it and would make a difference) ham chevy/thick probably a cooking grade. Salami's were good. Friendly staff and wine reasonably priced.

Great selection on vine by the glass,food a bit overpriced.

A busy place for a variety of wines. I don't think any of them were particularly spectacular, but it was a fun experience to have wine from an automated box. I'd say the experience is what you go for. The food is good, but again nothing spectacular. This place is the perfect spot to meet up with friends, have a nice glass (or many) of wine, try different wines you may not have heard of, and/or to have a quick drink before dinner.

I only popped into this place as I was 30 minutes early for a meeting. I had such a lovely experience. A lovely glass of wine at a nice price with brilliant service and lovely music in the background. Did I mention it was lovely?

Great experience - amazing range of wines. Excellent concept - you can't go wrong with a wine here, all wines were incredible. Defo a place for wine people.

Great wine bar, we booked beforehand to ensure we would be able to get in on a Friday evening. Really relaxed vibe and we had great fun with the wine dispensers, loved the idea of being able to get 50ml small wines so that we could taste several different wines. The wine selection was amazing. Loved it.

The wine here was fantastic.and I was happy to find a place that had such an interesting selection. As I was waiting for the toilet I was watching the chef for about 3 minutes, I watched as he ate the food he was placing and wiped his nose and continued with unwashed hands. Such a shame the wine was so good

Camembert au four with kebab bread on the side… Please tell me why?

I had a connecting flight that left me waiting at London Heathrow airport for 5 hours before my flight to Dubai and both Makving and Eusebo took great care of me with great, fast and fresh service. They were pleasant and allowed me to hang out until my flight departed!

Popped in for a few drinks and were happy enough until they opened the front door, it’s freezing cold in February but according to the staff it’s required for ventilation! I did ask them to close it as we had just purchased more drinks, but that was their response. They didn’t seem to understand or care that it was now too cold and uncomfortable to enjoy the drinks that we had just bought . So rather than stay longer for food we left, won’t be back until perhaps we have a heatwave.

Had read so much about this place- we walked for almost 1km and fortunately walked right in. In terms of wine selection- have to hand it to them- very expansive. A prime example of technology being put to use for customer experience, efficiency and profit (all good). In my mind that was the only good thing about the place- the large selection. Where it falls short 1. Too impersonal and no conversation. You are asked if this is your first time (which it was) and then explained how it works. That is the last time someone speaks to you. I would prefer to have conversation with the resident sommelier in the recommendations, history, grape etc. 2. None of the wines were excellent. I tried 8. Then I gave up. Maybe a reflection of my ability to choose wine but I don’t think I am that bad. 3. Food was really bad. Had a flat bread- Brie/walnuts and the Turkish starter. Both were tasteless- no flavor. And there was no one to tell to because everyone was busy in their own rhythm not sure doing what. Will I go back- never. Visited Dec 2022
