Sager & Wild
Wine Bar, Hoxton
Hidden away in the heart of Hoxton lies Sager & Wilde, the ideal place when in need of enjoying some fine wines. There's no big kitchen, expensive menu or reservations, no cotton napkins, instead it's all about the wine, ready to be served against the backdrop of this dimly lit, eclectic and cosy bar on the corner of Hackney Road. This is the perfect spot for a relaxed date, an intimate catch up with friends, or that evening of wine tasting you wanted to plan.

A truly quirky shopping experience where you'll find that unique item you've been looking for - from men and women's ready-to-wear attire to a variety of vintage furniture, and more. To top it all off, you'll celebrate your fashion finds with a foodie and boozy live DJs setting.Climpson & Sons
