"Ampio e ricco di atmosfera grazie alla luce soffusa delle candele, il Gordon’s è molto probabilmente il wine bar più antico di Londra (fu aperto nel 1890). Ormai vittima del proprio successo, è sempre affollato – a meno che non ci andiate prima che arrivino gli impiegati, scordatevi di trovare un tavolo. Accompagnate il vostro calice – la scelta include vini vegani e biologici – con stuzzichini come pane, formaggio e olive."

"Andrei (doorman). No review of London wine bars would be complete without including Gordon's. Established in 1890, it is London's oldest wine bar, housed in a building which was home to Samuel Pepys in the 1680s and, more recently, Rudyard Kipling. The bar occupies a prime space on the bank of the Thames next door to Embankment station. The food is as hearty as it probably always has been and wine is still served in 175ml glasses (huzzah!). Even now, it remains a hive of activity for the post-work crowd. Keep your eyes on the blackboards scattered around the interior of the bar. These carry specials, bin ends and half bottles, many of which aren't listed on the main list."

@

"Bar à vins recommandé le routard"

@

"Underground wine cellar / tunnel. Since 1890. No reservations "

@

"The oldest winery in London"

@

"Underground, lit by candles and centuries old – the cosy factor of Gordon’s is off the scale. Established in 1890 and still family-run, it’s thought to be the oldest wine bar in London. The wine list spans across continents and includes winter warmers such as sherry and port. Being a London classic, it gets busy in here (you might have to stand rather than lounge), but it all adds to that cosy atmosphere."

@

"Have only been for drinks but food is supposed to be nice too. Inside is a bit quirky - in a cave Have to book in advance. "

@arnodvg

"Gordon’s Wine Bar is a crumbling candlelit warren of a drinking den and it also happens to be the oldest wine bar in London. The building itself is as old as the 1680s, but the didn’t become a wine bar until the 1860s. Rudyard Kipling lived upstairs in the 1890s as a tenant and famously wrote “the light that failed in the parlour above the bar”. Try the cheekily-named “fat bastard” wine and they have a fabulous cheese selection too."

"We got the 2-cheese plate and it was really yummy! Pro-tip — the queue outside is for an outside spot. If you want inside, you need to speak to someone downstairs and put your name on the waiting list. You can wait in the bar area and still order drinks. "

Ask for tea at your peril! Regular for friend catch ups but looking at the clientele it’s also a popular date night or tourist stop. You can drink wine for hours without being moved on. "
