Goodbye Horses

Goodbye Horses is a wine bar and restaurant from entrepreneurial duo Alex Young and George de Vos - part of a trio of shops and businesses the pair run in De Beauvoir. The other two venues are comprised of a coffee shop specializing in pour-over coffee called Day Trip and a gelato bar called The Dreamery. Goodbye Horses comprises of a wine bar and restaurant with the kitchen being run by Jack Coggins, who makes the move from another celebrated east London wine bar restaurant, Papi and has also worked at Planque and The Baring.

Situated on the corner between Halliford Street and Elizabeth Avenue at the old site of Micheal’s Den pub the venue features design by Swiss architect Leopold Banchini as well as elements from De Vos’ own design agency. The specific design elements of the space are inspired by De Vos’ passion for travel and subsequent experiences in restaurants such as Glou Glou in Amsterdam, Ruby in San Francisco and Folderol in Paris. The venue consequently promises a modern and intriguing setting for guests to enjoy.  Guests will also be entertained as they enjoy Jack’s exceptional food by the vinyl records from the restaurant’s expansive 2,500 strong collection of albums which are the backdrop to the dining experience. 

The menu is based on sharing plates with a seasonal, sustainable and creative focus. The food is accompanied by a wine list curated by Natalie Nelles, formerly of Noble Fine Liquor, who works alongside Jack finding wines to accompany his food. She plans to champion biodynamic and organic bottles that will provide guests with an interesting and exciting drinking experience.
