Wine bar group Vagabond Wines will open a new site beside Liverpool Street Station tomorrow (17 October), joining British Land’s redevelopment of the Broadgate estate.
The bar will feature Vagabond’s self-pour system offering more than 100 wines by the glass, alongside a food menu designed for sharing. It marks the latest addition to the company’s London portfolio, following the opening of its flagship site at St Paul’s in September.
Vagabond said the new bar would cater to office workers and visitors to the City, with its proximity to Broadgate, Spitalfields Market and Shoreditch, and is expected to draw both weekday and weekend trade.
The Liverpool Street opening comes as Vagabond looks to expand under the Majestic Wine Group, with backing from owner Fortress Investment. The group said it plans to double Vagabond’s footprint over the coming years through “selective” city openings and partnerships with leading property developers, such as British Land.
As part of that wider growth story, Vagabond will open the UK’s largest urban winery at Canada Water next month. The 6,000 sq ft site will be able to produce 100,000 bottles over the next five years and will include a bar, shop, and event space for 200 people.
Christobell Giles, managing director of Vagabond Wines, said: “We’re thrilled to be opening in the heart of the City, surrounded by so many people who already know and love the brand from our Shoreditch and Monument sites. Liverpool Street gives us the chance to reach new audiences right at the centre of London’s energy.”
John Colley, executive chairman and CEO of Majestic Wine Group, added: “This opening forms part of a major multi-site expansion plan, with millions being invested to grow Vagabond as a key part of the Majestic Wine Group. It’s about reaching the next generation of wine drinkers; building new experiences and digital connections that make great wine more accessible, social, and fun, and sharing that love of wine across the group.”
