Tiny Wine: One of London’s Smallest Wine Bars Opens in Fitzrovia
Tiny Wine, one of London’s smallest wine bars, has officially opened at 21 Foley Street, taking over the former Crudo site in Fitzrovia. The new neighbourhood spot comes from Maria Yanez and Carlos Socorro, founders of the Latin American restaurant group Crudo Cocina Latina. Tiny Wine pairs a thoughtfully curated wine list with bold Latin American small plates and snacks in an intimate (and tiny) setting.
Located on the corner of two intersecting Fitzrovian streets, with a charming neighbourhood feel but only a stone's throw away from the bustle of Soho and Oxford Circus, Tiny Wine is bursting with Latin American warmth, a love of connection and an appreciation for simple things done beautifully. A small wine bar with a big soul, it’s a place guests might wander into for just one glass and end up staying the whole night. Full of ambience and a community, guests will always be guaranteed to find conversation, soft Latin beats and glasses passed between tables.
Wine and Drinks: Tiny by name, but massively into wine, Tiny Wine is a perfectly-sized place for buying, tasting and discovering wine, with a thoughtfully chosen range that has everything from classic to lesser-known grapes and styles. The wine list is intentionally small in size (around 50 bottles), made up of mostly natural or low-intervention wines sourced from small producers, trusted and admired for particular reasons and changing with the seasons. In addition to the range of wines on offer, the drinks menu also features an eclectic mix of spritzes, negronis and beers, including a tequila ginger spritz, spicy margarita spritz and mezcal negroni.
Food: With all food made for sharing and most to be eaten with your hands, the menu features a hand-picked selection of Bar snacks, Gildas - savoury Basque skewers with a Latin American twist, Bocadilllos - gourmet mini sandwiches, crafted for pairing with great wine and of course Tapas. Highlights include: Mixto ceviche, Smokey octopus gilda and the two Miami-inspired sandwiches on the menu, the Cubanito, featuring pulled pork, honey ham, cheese, Dijon mustard, pickles and the Romeo & Julieta, featuring mozzarella, guava and rocoto. As much about culture as about comfort, the sweet and salty combo of the guava with the cheese are staples across Miami.
Design & Interiors: The 200 sq. foot venue is made up of four distinct, intimate areas. The main floor features textured walls, soft arches and a central bar, with seating for 22 covers at high tables. A standing wine shop space holds up to 10 people, inviting guests to browse and mingle. Outside, al fresco tables provide space for 10 covers, perfect for soaking up the Fitzrovia buzz. Downstairs, The Secret Room is a hidden private dining space for up to 16 guests, ideal for intimate parties, tastings and get-togethers.
Maria Yanez, Co-Founder of Tiny Wine says: ‘We’re very excited to be launching Tiny Wine as a brand new concept. Tiny Wine was born from a love of the little things: small producers, cosy spaces and great conversation. The Fitzrovia space felt like the perfect home for a wine bar that’s all about big flavours in small pours and bold Latin American bites.’
Tiny Wine is now open, offering a small but iconic space where Latin warmth, great wine and good people come together for truly memorable nights.
