  “Amazing wine tastings! So many options, and great assistance fro Olga and others on the team at Monument. Cannot wait to return. What a unique experience to try wines your pocketbook wouldn't typically afford. Unparalleled! Olga is the best truly!”

  “What a lovely, relaxed experience. It’s great to have the option to browse the wines yourself and if you want to know more the staff are very knowledgeable. Alina helped us with recommendations and was very friendly. The food was delicious as well.”

  “The concept at Vagabond Wines Monument immediately caught our attention: a place where you can sample small portions of wine by pouring them yourself from the machines and paying per glass. It sounds like a fantastic idea — a great way to discover many different wines without committing to a full glass or bottle. Unfortunately, the reality was rather disappointing. Despite having done many wine tastings myself and having a decent interest in wine, I found the selection quite uninspiring. Many of the wines simply did not match the descriptions on the tasting cards, which was probably the biggest letdown. When the main attraction is the wine itself, inaccurate labels are a serious issue. On top of that, the prices are extremely high when calculated per litre. Of course, the concept, the equipment and the whole experience have to be paid for, and I understand that this is partly a lifestyle venue rather than a traditional wine bar. However, for me, the quality and selection of the wines did not justify the price. The cheese board was okay, but nothing special either. Including Cheddar felt a little underwhelming for a place that is supposed to celebrate wine and food pairings, even if it is located in England. Overall, it is an interesting concept and a nice place to experience once, but because the core product — the wine selection — was not convincing, I cannot rate it higher than two stars.”

  “We had such an amazing experience at Vagabond Wines Monument, and a huge part of that was thanks to Alina from Moldova. She made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived and delivered exceptional service throughout the evening. Every recommendation she gave us was absolutely epic, the wines and the food pairings, everything was spot on. Her knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail really elevated the whole experience. We left super happy after the meal and already looking forward to coming back. This is a well-deserved shout out to Alina for making our night so memorable. Thank you for the outstanding hospitality!”

  “I came for a casual drink with a friend, I have visited this bar many times. However, today Alina and Olga made this the most fantastic experience. Their knowledge of the wines, their regions and varieties was absolutely exemplary. We felt incredibly welcomed and had the most wonderful time. This will be a repeat of visit for us both. Once again, a huge thank you to Olga and Alina - they deserve the upmost respect and we will continue to enjoy this wonderful bar. Highly recommend.”

  “We had a great experience at Vagabond. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and lively. A special mention has to go to Andrei, who truly went above and beyond to take care of our party. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating throughout the evening. His professionalism and genuine care for guests really stood out.”

  “Disappointing customer service and poorly executed promotion. Vagabond are currently offering £5 off when you download their app, which initially seemed like a great incentive and encouraged me to sign up. However, the experience was frustrating from start to finish. I connected to the WiFi in-store to download the app but ended up waiting a long time for the confirmation email. When we asked staff for help, they called the manager, who explained that due to poor signal inside the building, we would need to go outside to the road to receive emails. We did this, only to find that the email link had already expired. By this point, we had spent at least 15 minutes trying to sign up and had lost patience, as it didn’t feel worth the effort for just £5 off. The staff could see that we had downloaded the app, and we asked if they could manually apply the discount, but the manager said they were unable to help. The manager was quite cold and curt with us. It was frustrating to waste so much time on what should have been a simple process. There were plenty of signs advertising the £5 offer, yet nowhere did it mention that you would need to go outside just to receive the email. Overall, the promotion felt misleading and resulted in a poor customer experience. It’s disappointing, as I’ve visited Vagabond several times before, but this experience has put me off returning.”

  “This is the first time we came to Vagabond and immediately fell in love. Andrea was exceptionally knowledgeable and very kind helpful; greatly enjoyed walking around with Andrea talking about wines and tasting them. She was very patient and tried( and succeeded!) In helping me find the wine(s) i was looking for. I will DEFINITELY be a returning customer.”

  “We met with an old friend and were strolling by. We decided to grab a seat and a glass of wine to enjoy a chat. Little did we know vast array of wines available at the Vagabond! It is amazing! One can select a wine, aaaand, the amount in a glass. For the first time we were able to go through a wine tasting with no pressure. Just walk up, select the amount and tap your card....then sit back and enjoy. Props to Dante, our server who thoughtfully explained the system and bent over backwards to make our experience GREAT! We most appreciate the care and service. Bravo Dante and many thanks! Finally, the seating is comfortable and the atmosphere was perfect for us to catch up with our old friend! We really enjoyed our experience.”

  “The vagabond in Monument was surprisingly a great place for lunch… with comfortable seats, and a variety of different places to enjoy your meal and wine. Food and drinks were easy to order, come quite quick and a call back to check on us was promptly made after starting with the meal. To choose wines there was very helpful staff, offered me some free samples.”
