And they’re not going too far away to do it
Alex Young and George de Vos have got a pair of winners in wine bar Goodbye Horses and ice cream parlour The Dreamery, both in De Beauvoir. Now the pair are expanding again with new wine bar and shop Stable Wines, opening a few streets away just off Essex Road in December.
It sounds like it’s going to be a real looker, featuring a custom counter made from the same oak used at Goodbye Horses, carved stone from Mount Etna, and artwork from Lucy Stein, who also worked with the pair on The Dreamery. The downstairs space, a former bank vault, will have rare and unusual bottles stacked on octagonal sculptural shelves, banquette seating in candlelit arches, and a private dining area for six.
Wine director Nathalie Nelles and general manager Fred Clelland will be handpicking the wines for the ever-changing list, with bottles available to buy from the ground floor shop and drink in the subterranean bar. Rather than a full food menu, there’ll be cured meats, cheeses, and the very popular cheese toasties from Goodbye Horses available to have with your vino.
