Wont go thirsty

4*

Jossie B. says:

Well you certainly wont go thirsty with all this wine about, and i wouldnt mind taking shelter in here either. Its a quaint little place with modern wooden layout and an extensive alcohol menu.

Debbie M. says:

Lovin the wines here, we went here with a friend who pretended to be so into wines we ended up tasting most of them. Not a great head the next day but we had a hell of time, really really top night out.

Funky

5*

Andrew H. says:

A new funky pub thats popular with people of all ages, a great place to go with a croking atmosphere and lots of other people with money which is cool. Very popular, and one of thee places to be.

Going underground

4*

Anne P. says:

If you like the feeling of being underground then come here. Its unusual but a really cool place. Its different and very much like an actual cellar with the bar going round it. Lots of little hidden places to sit so you can have an intimate drink here.

Never has memory loss been so memorable

5*

Beth G. says:

It is with significant reluctance that I write this. You see, I love Gordon’s. I REALLY love it. And one of the reason’s I love it is that not many people seem to know it exists.

It’s like a secret underground cave, a cave which is dark and dank in the bestest way, feels like a Jack the Ripper film set and sells wine wine wine – and nothing else. Oh, except for cheese cheese cheese.

So, there we have it; a candle-lit, underground, clandestine sweaty cave, full of wine and cheese and people who are clearly up to something. You can’t go here and not be mischievous. As soon as you walk down the grotty, steep stairs you feel a bit impish. By the time you’ve ordered your wine, you’re feeling downright wayward. Some of my best naughty work has happened here.

Drink

4*

Talia K. says:

Walk down some quite steep creaky stairs and you're suddenly in an otherworldly wartime feeling wine bar just by Embankment.

It does get very busy though so you can often feel overwhelmed upon arrival and in summer it gets very hot. However there are plenty of outdoor tables with parasols which is nice.

There's a huge range of wine and it's the only drink on offer. They also have random bits of food like bread and really good cheese.

I would think it would be great for dates. If I ever have one again in my life I shall try out this theory.

Cheese and Wine

5*

E P. says:

You can't really go wrong with this place. Don't be put off by the facade the place is awesome. Descend the creaky stairs and you are confronted with lovely cheeses where you can get a selection with bread and pickles for under a tenner. Turn the corner and choose a wine. They only sell wine and have a great choice. The place is always busy so be prepared to stand but if you can get a seat enjoy the atmosphere of the arched and low roof and candlelight. It's great for the winter, but even better in summer when you can stand outside and take in a view of embankment gardens. I've taken friends from out of town here and everyone loves it! I can't fault it!

Excellent, wonderful, brilliant

5*

Kitty N. says:

In the winter, hunker down in the cobwebby cellars. In the summer, sit outside and glug away.

Go when it's a little quieter and you can reach the food (tasty). It does get packed though and it can be hard to find a seat.

Last time I was there a slightly crazy guy was chatting to people sat outside and selling sparklers and party poppers. He seems to come round regularly and is pretty polite.

On a weird note, I love the hand driers, they blast your hands dry in a matter of seconds.
