Dan’s
Located just off of Dalston’s high street, Dan’s wine bar is buzzing every night. It’s one those rare neighborhood wine bars that feels instantly welcoming the moment you step inside. With warm lighting, mismatched wooden tables, and a family style table where multiple parties can sit together the atmosphere is effortlessly cool without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you can wander in for a quick glass and end up staying for hours, chatting with friends or exploring wines you’ve never tasted before.
The wine list is the real star here, thoughtfully curated with a mix of natural, low-intervention bottles and classic varieties. Whether you’re in the mood for something bright and citrusy, a chilled red, or a fun pét-nat, Dan’s always has something special on the chalkboard menu. The staff know their stuff but keep things friendly and unpretentious, happily guiding you if you’re not sure what to try.
Alongside the wines, Dan’s serves a small but solid menu of snacks and sharing plates—think quality cheeses, charcuterie, and seasonal dishes that pair beautifully with whatever’s in your glass. It’s a perfect spot for a casual date, a catch-up with friends, or a quiet solo drink at the bar. Dan’s has quickly become a Dalston staple, loved for its character, charm, and genuinely great wine.
