Goodbye Horses
Goodbye Horses is one of Hackney’s most distinctive wine bars, combining an offbeat aesthetic with a warm neighborhood feel. The space is intimate without being cramped, with candles, playful décor, and a slightly bohemian charm. Tucked among residential homes, it’s the sort of spot you wander in and can’t help telling friends about long after. The mural above the kitchen fills the space and adds whimsy and cheer.
The wine list is adventurous in its variety in a way that feels curated rather than limited. Expect natural producers, small-batch bottles, and wines with personality — each glass will spark a conversation. The team knows their stuff and will happily point you in the right direction, whether you’re into natural wine or just curious. There’s zero pretension here, just genuine enthusiasm and good energy. Open to tasting different wines before making a final decision, even if you’re just in for a glass.
Food at Goodbye Horses leans simple and satisfying, with seasonal snacks and sharing plates designed to balance the wines. With high-quality ingredients, such as a simple bread and butter, but nothing that will overshadow the wine. Whether you’re popping in for a casual glass or settling in for a long evening with friends, Goodbye Horses delivers the kind of memorable, mood-driven experience that keeps you coming back. And once you finish your drink at Goodbye Horses, you can skip across the street to its sister bar The Dreamery.
