The Savoy Opens a New Wine Bar with Vintages Back to 1975

The Savoy Hotel, the historic luxury property on The Strand in central London that has been in continuous operation since 1889, opened a new wine bar in October 2026. The bar's wine list spans vintage bottles from 1975 to 2025, with a focus on First Growth Bordeaux and mature champagne. The venue also offers wine cocktails, live music performances and DJ sets, positioning it as a destination for both hotel guests and outside visitors seeking a high-end central London evening. The Savoy is a Grade II* listed building and one of the capital's most recognisable hospitality landmarks. The new wine bar expands the hotel's food and beverage offering beyond the long-established American Bar and Savoy Grill. Time Out London reported the opening on 16 October 2026, and the story attracted considerable reader interest in the days around 20 October, reflecting strong appetite for new London bar openings at the luxury end of the market.
