Subterranean

London’s Original Natural Wine Bar Terroir Has Permanently Closed | Eater London

"A subterranean central-London wine bar close to Trafalgar Square that announced a permanent closure after 13 years, with owners thanking staff and guests for years of support in an emotional Instagram post. Founded and led by Eric Narioo, the venue played a catalytic role in popularising terroir-driven, low-intervention wines and a relaxed, simple European cuisine paired with irreverent hospitality; its influence helped seed a generation of natural-wine drinkers and a wave of related venues. The reasons for the shutdown have not been disclosed, but the owners stressed that other outposts and affiliated projects will continue to operate, framing the closure as the end of an era rather than the end of the broader movement it helped create." - Adam Coghlan
