Are you looking for private hire of an exclusive wine bar? If the answer is yes you’ve found your match in Diogenes the Dog, a unique venue with understated elegance and a wide selection of natural wines.

Diogenes the Dog is a multi-award-winning independent wine bar & cafe bringing to the table some of the undiscovered wines of the world, with hospitality at the forefront, and simplicity as an ethos. A few of the many impressive prices this venue has received include Decanter - Retailer Awards 2021 Runner Up "Best London Neighbourhood Wine Shop", Time Out - Best Bars in London 2021, The Drinks Retailing Awards- Nominated 2020 "Newcomer of the Year ", and many more!

Diogenes, also known as Diogenes the Dog, was a philosopher in Ancient Greek who was one of the founders of the philosophy of Cynicism, and it is with this inquisitive nature this space approaches their wines. Chosen by owner Sunny Hodge, the wines featured on the rotating list support the true underdogs of the wine world. Constantly questioning wine choices by focusing on new regions such as Texas, Poland, and China, or more reputable regions brave enough to step outside the norm. His personal connections with the winemakers mean that more than half of the wines are imported directly from producers, to expose true gems to the London wine scene.

This wonderfully unique venue with an eclectic vibe is ideal for any type of private or corporate event such as intimate birthday parties, drinks receptions, Christmas parties with a twist, private dining experiences, or a fun team away day with wine tasting in the wine cellar.

    Great selection of unusual wines from around the world. However much or little you know you will be surprised! The food is the supporting act: simple but good quality and matches the wines well. Service was great with loads of explanations and friendly chat. Will definitely return.
