About this space

Diogenes the Dog is a multi-award-winning independent wine bar & cafe bringing to the table some of the undiscovered wines of the world, with hospitality at the forefront, and simplicity as an ethos.

This wonderfully unique venue with an eclectic vibe is ideal for any type of private or corporate event such as intimate birthday parties, drinks receptions, Christmas parties with a twist, private dining experiences, or a fun team away day with wine tasting in the wine cellar.

The entire Wine Bar can be privately hired out for events, such as; birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, and much more.

Wedding Reception · 100 guests · May 2025

Staff were amazing and made the entire event easy for us. The venue is gorgeous and an ideal set up. Has the perfect space for a DJ / dance floor downstairs which our guests loved. The wine was brilliant we’ve had so many comments on how great the place was.
