London's Oldest Wine Bar
London’s Oldest Wine Bar, established 1890. Gordon’s Wine Bar has quenched the thirst of wine lovers for over 135 years. Close to Covent Garden and London’s Theatreland, it is a hidden gem, just minutes away from Trafalgar Square between Charing Cross and Embankment stations. Gordon’s is renowned for its history with a vaulted candlelit cellar and old oak barrels filled with sherries and port. With walls covered by old photographs, newspaper clippings of historic events you can take a step back in time, escape the hustle and enjoy a huge selection of award winning wines and great food. Our food menu offers more than 15 different cheeses, a selection of charcuterie and vegetarian and vegan options. As reservations are not taken, the best way to grab a table is to turn up early. We have recently revamped our outside area on Watergate Walk. With two stylish serving cabins and a team of serving staff you can now sit outside all year round and enjoy Gordon’s alfresco! Gordon’s is very much a family affair, owned by Wendy Gordon, the wife of the late, much loved Luis Gordon, and now overseen by Luis’ eldest son, Simon. The wider Gordon’s family includes the bar staff, many of whom have been with us for years. In the Gordon’s tradition we ensure that we have a fantastic selection of great wines from around the world, our head chef procures some of the best artisanal foods to make up a delicious and versatile range of sharing boards and dishes. Whether you’re popping in for a quiet glass on your own to watch the world go by, having a romantic date or out with friends and family, we hope you have a fabulous time. Our list of award winning wines is extensive and diverse, many are from family run vineyards and are very reasonably priced. We have specially selected wines from the classic regions of Europe to South America, the UK and the New World and unusual places in between. Sherries and ports are served from the barrel. Our staff will be delighted to make recommendations from our Wine List and our regularly updated Specials Board and can guide you on food and wine pairings. Gordon’s Wine Bar is not only famous for its extensive list of great wines but also for its fantastic cheese selection. With our huge choice of cheeses you will be truly spoilt for choice! We also offer a range of salads, sharing boards and dishes that can be paired perfectly with your wine to suit the season, from a variety of cold cuts, homemade scotch eggs and pies & summery salads. Over the years Gordon’s has grown strong relationships with a number of family run businesses with their own histories and generations of experience and expertise. From the sherry houses of Jerez and the port producers of Porto, to the terroirs of Champagne and the vineyards of Chile and India we count ourselves fortunate to have forged great friendships with these producers and our suppliers. Having a wine list and food menu that champions artisan growers who care about the quality of their produce is really important to us. We value the passion and skill of these producers and we are proud to offer their produce to our customers.
