Vagabond Wines Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia

Where To Go When You’re Waiting For A Table At Circolo Popolare

"As you approach this wine bar, you’ll start thinking things like, maybe I am a vagabond. One of the last real cowboys. A rolling stone with no fixed address and big bohemian dreams. None of this is true. You’re just hungry, mildly delirious, and in need of distraction. And really, there’s no better distraction than cheese, and deciding which of the hundred wines available by the glass here you’re going to try first. The concept at Vagabond is simple - you top-up a card with however much money you like, then you can walk around, check out all of the great wines they have on offer, slot your card into the machine, click a button, and the machine dispenses your wine. It might all sound a little RoboSip, but time flies here, and everything from the mushroom arancini to the Tunworth camembert is super tasty." - heidi lauth beasley
