    This place is awesome! It has the atmosphere of a laid-back brewery, but they make wine! Really friendly and helpful people there. The wines range from interesting to really good! Make sure to also try their guest wines too. I would recommend going there when the weather is at least relatively ok, so you could sit outside. I've only been there when it's warm, but can imagine it could get quite cold inside.

    Great little wine bar! They make their own delicious wine without preservatives, you can even buy bottles to take home. Also it’s the first BYOF place I’ve been to in London (bring your own food). We ordered some pizzas with Deliveroo and stayed all evening. Will definitely be back.

    What a lovely wine bar! Hidden on a tiny street in bethnal green, this place offers amazing wines - both their own and a seection of others. As a group of 4, we all tried different ones and all of them were unique - personally renegade chardonnay 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Laid back setup, good music volume - finally somewhere you can have a proper chat with friends without shouting, not overcrowded yet lively, and a dog who comes out of the counter when someone brings food :) what else can i ask for! My only comment would be for the benches, which didnt feel sturdy. Cant wait to go back!

    Very nice and cozy feel-like-home bar, with miscrobrewery vibes but almost purely wines (you can find some nice canned craft beers there as well though) great wine selection, whatever I picked was delicious! They also do wine tastings on Thursdays I figured. A bit stuffy as it’s basically a garage under the bridge. But definitely coming back.

    Lovely wine! We had Renegade’s Janet. Went down a treat. Love the vibe - it got a lot busier than this pic so book a table!

    Lovely, stylish cool-vibes Berlinesque bar in trendy Bethnal Green, serving an excellent selection of non-intervention wine at reasonable prices. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, some good looking food also! Very much worth a visit if you are in the Bethnal Green area.

    Simply exquisite top marks from me.

  • 2/5 Marta K. 5 years ago on Google
    Let me start with the positive. The place itself is really nice with stainless steel tanks and dim light. Staff is excellent: very helpful and friendly. That would be it. Unfortunately this will cannot make up for a very bad wine that is served there. I tried 3 different bottles. First Renegade pinot noir that was off : tasted and smelled like nail varnish remover. Kind person by the bar agreed and suggested a different red. Unfortunately that wasn't any better!!! The last wine I tried there was Chardonnay that , at the begging, had a very nice floral notes that were overpowered by vinegary finish. None of my friends was able to finish their glasses, some event were worried if it will not make them fall ill. It felt like tasting different stages of vinegar production rather than wine. Never tried a wine like and I never wish to do it again. I was very disappointed by the quality (or lack of it)of Renegade wine. It wasn't my first visit there and before I sampled some rose which was actually nice. I was not expecting premier cru wines but for the price I paid the quality was unacceptable.

    Probably not my favourite wine bar but it's right up there. High quality wine and the staff are good fun and quite knowledge

  • 5/5 Niklas P. 5 years ago on Google
    Lovely place with outdoor seats and mainly, their own wine. The chardonnay and the bubbles both carried a floral style with taste and scent from the oak casks that they were stored in. Lovely place.

  • 4/5 Jack W. 5 years ago on Google
    Really nice hidden spot - not a lot of space but lovely staff who will take you to a table once ready. Really nice wine.

  • 5/5 Pacharapong S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great little wine place. Make their wine here in London. It's just down the little alley along side the railway. Under the arches. Must try!

  • 5/5 Tony Bou K. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent venue, cozy and good wine made in England! Can order food in as well. Recommend.

  • 5/5 L K. 1 year ago on Google
    Accidentally stumbled across this place - what an absolutely incredible find! Great range of wines and such delightful staff. The sparking english white wine would rival any champagne - you must go!

  • 5/5 Joel M. 6 months ago on Google

    I've just had an amazing experience with the Renegate wines here today! Lovely service and all questions about wine answered! Wines produced with minimal intervention! All grapes handpicked! I've enjoyed a lot a glass of Jai (white) and Alf (red) plus so delicious cheese 🧀 board! Thank you guys!!!

  • 4/5 Quentin J. 2 years ago on Google
    Really cute spot where you can enjoy wines produced in-situ! The vibe is relaxed, the wines are delicious and the guys behind the bar are super chilled.

  • 5/5 Charlie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a fantastic afternoon at the new home in Walthamstow, Sinead was there and guided us through some of the wines with great knowledge and enthusiasm! All the wines tasted on-point and the general vibe was top notch. This is a must visit for anyone interested about wine or just looking for a great time Thanks all

  • 5/5 Aurelie de s. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot to discover new wines. Fun atmosphere and friendly staff. You can apply to have your face and name on a wine too.

  • 5/5 Kkukkukkakka K. 6 months ago on Google
    I can't complain about anything. Such a beautiful hidden gem. I love the concept of this wine bar and their wine & nibbles were yummy :) I will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Aurore P. 10 months ago on Google
    A nice hidden gem. The staff is really nice, always a smile on. A bold selection of wines with very good surprises. A good place to have a drink in a quiet zone, two steps on the side from Bethnal Green road

  • 5/5 Louise C. 8 months ago on Google
    Delicious and different wines, great spot! We had some tasty orange/skin contact wines.

  • 5/5 Tom H. 4 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous little urban winery tap room under the railway arches next to Bethnal Green, tucked behind a furniture shop. They import grapes from around Europe and make wine right here in the city with the hustle and bustle of London life just outside. Come here for live music, candle-lit catch ups and wine (obvs). They have great snacks and local craft beers too. Bring your dog for a discount.

    Great wines. Don't miss the happy hour from 5 to 7.

  • 5/5 Kate F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place, nice vibe, loved the innovative approach to wine. Great hoppy sparkling wine, loved the skin contact Gewurztraminer. Friendly staff too let us taste a few.

  • 5/5 Olivier R. 6 years ago on Google
    Really nice wine made in the premises, with some guest wines and beers as well as cheese and charcuterie platters.

  • 5/5 Kyle R. 5 years ago on Google
    Very cool, off the beaten path spot for quality wine that’s made right in the space.

  • 5/5 Alice M. 4 years ago on Google
    Came for the wine, came back for the staff. Brad and the bearded guy (sorry don’t remember his name!!) were really nice and very knowledgeable about the wines. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Alex S. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice little wine bar under the railway arches serving their own wines. Staff very friendly and the wines are well worth a try.

  • 2/5 Claudia M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice location and friendly staff, but the wine didn't meet the expectations and the cheese plate was supermarket quality sold at gourmet prices.

  • 5/5 Ailsa B. 4 years ago on Google
    Lush. Word on the street that you get a free drink if you bring a dog??

  • 5/5 Helen U. 4 years ago on Google
    How good is this place! Finally tried it on Saturday. The wines were great, different from your usual run of the mill and the staff were really friendly. A new fun approach to wine. Everyone should go.

  • 3/5 Kristen M. 3 years ago on Google
    Hard to think that the soundtrack of passing trains and to put it mildly, the dirty toilet is part of the charm. Specially with Covid, they could have done a better job keeping the toilet and tables clean. Our glasses were foggy too.

  • 5/5 Ben H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great wines, team are great and even got the chance to help bottling one time. You won’t be disappointed, they just continue to make amazing wines.

  • 5/5 S L. 3 years ago on Google
    Social distancing measures really well respected and enforced. Absolutely delicious wine, we had Josh, really well priced for the quality. Staff were so friendly and informative. We ordered deliveroo in as they don't sell food.

  • 2/5 Kamal I. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Nicholas Q. 4 years ago on Google
    My favourite new find in the East, with so many amazing drinking options (think mother kellys and old street next door) around Bethnal we are kind of spoilt, but these guys offer a unique product with epic service. Staff, owner and product all deserve 5 stars and ill be coming back......ALOT!

    Brill venue. Great staff. Great product.

  • 4/5 Ellie s. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice little wine bar in a beer taproom style location (in a railway arch) with friendly staff. Prices are a touch on the steep side but there are some unusual wine styles and well worth the visit

  • 2/5 Jo D. 4 years ago on Google
    Interesting place but I didn't like either of the rose wines I tried, and found the staff cocky and shamelessly pushy. Toilet is not very private.
