The Mulwray

Hidden in plain sight above The Blue Posts on the edge of Soho, The Mulwray is the kind of place you could walk past a hundred times and never know it’s there, until you’re in on the secret. Upstairs, away from the pub’s bustle, it trades in low lighting, hushed tables and shelves lined with bottles that read like a love letter to thoughtful winemaking.

The focus is firmly on fine and natural wines from both the old world and the new, with a cabinet spotlighting niche varieties, emerging regions and lesser-known growers. The list is arranged by style - think cool-climate whites, silky reds and a few wildcard pours for the curious - and shifts with the seasons. There’s also a weekly changing by-the-glass selection, plus Coravin-poured rarities for those wanting to sample something special without committing to the whole bottle.

Sourcing is taken seriously here, with an emphasis on sustainable and biodynamic producers who work in step with nature. As a result, you’ll find contemporary natural gems sitting comfortably alongside benchmark old-world favourites: Mosel Riesling and Alsace blends, skin-contact Italian oranges, Galician Mencía, Barbaresco from Piemonte and even Tokaji Aszú for something sweet to finish. Beyond wine, there’s a concise but considered offering of sake, premium spirits and no- and low-alcohol options, ensuring everyone’s catered for.
