dan's

You'll find dan's tucked away on a quiet stretch of Tottenham Road in Islington, the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Walk in and you're met with stripped-back interiors and a genuinely knowledgeable team who talk about wine like people who actually drink it, not like they're reciting from a manual. The list skews towards small producers and natural wines, but there's nothing gatekeeping about the vibe. It's the sort of spot where you can rock up solo for a glass and a snack, or bring mates and settle in properly. Food is straightforward—charcuterie, cheese, simple dishes—but it's clearly thought through to complement what's in your glass.
