Located within the energetic epicentre of Soho, on the corner of Old Compton St and minutes from theatreland, we are the West-End’s go-to wine destination.

The venue was once home to TRADE – a members’ club for The Hospitality Industry, which had a “Black Book” of hand-scribed fine and rare wines, the secret Black Book become so popular with our guests, it made sense to name the wine bar after it’s legacy. 

At the Black Book you will find London’s largest ‘by-the-glass’ list stocked within our walk-in Coravin Cellar as well as an accompanying bar snacks and finer food menu.

THE CONCEPT OF THE BLACK BOOK
Historically used by the male gender in the Soho district, the “Black Book” was a confidential notebook used to store important contacts, numbers, and addresses for a memorable evening.

Our Black Book holds an even greater significance, housing a curated collection of exceptional wines. Featuring limited quantities from iconic producers, vineyards, and vintages, these wines are fleeting treasures. Discover a gem, act swiftly and enjoy the pleasure!
