Whether you’re looking for a perfect pint or a classic cocktail, Wimbledon Village has a great selection of pubs and bars to choose from. Here are five of our favourites:
-
Rose & Crown
A firm favourite with locals and visitors to the Championships, the ‘Rose’ has the relaxed and friendly ambience of a traditional British Village pub. Situated on the High Street just a stone’s throw from Wimbledon Common, this charming pub & hotel boasts a large courtyard at the rear which is ideal for enjoying sunny afternoons and long summer evenings, and can even be enjoyed in the cooler months thanks to outside heaters. In winter, roaring open fires welcome you (and your four legged friends) in from the cold to get you cosy and warm. The pub has an extensive wine list, a great selection of beers and spirits and if you’re looking to pair your drinks with food, a varied menu offering pub classics and daily specials.
-
The Ivy Café
While the Ivy Café Wimbledon may be considered more a brasserie than bar, you are very welcome to drop by just to enjoy a drink. Choose from exclusive cocktails expertly made by the Ivy’s resident mixologists to craft beers from local small batch breweries. Take a seat at the bar to soak up the intimate and sophisticated ambience of the Ivy’s gorgeous interior or weather permitting, drink al fresco at one of their pavement tables and watch the world go by.
-
Dog & Fox
Located at the very heart of the Village, the iconic Dog & Fox pub with rooms boasts a bright and airy bar area with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As with all the Youngs pubs it offers an extensive selection of beers, ales, wines and spirits in addition to a comprehensive food menu with changing daily specials. It’s large roadside beer garden is a real draw in the Summer – the perfect place to hang out and people watch. You’ll even see the horses trot by as the pub is situated right next door to Wimbledon Village Stables.

Located in the beautiful hidden courtyard adjacent to the Table@Vallebona store, this exclusive venue is open just three days a week on Thursday and Friday evenings from 6 pm to 10 pm and on Saturday from midday to 10 pm. Lit by fairy lights and candles and with heaters to keep it cosy even in the colder months, this beautiful al fresco space is a great place for a romantic date night or a get together with friends or family. For special celebrations it’s available for private hire. Vineria’s varied drinks menu includes an extensive selection of wines available by the glass and bottle, classic Italian cocktails, craft gins & beers and even sake. If you’re looking for a light bite to accompany your drinks pizza and nibbles are also available. As space at Vineria is limited booking is recommended but walk-ins are also welcome.

Cannizaro House, Hotel du Vin
Just a few minutes walk across the Common from the Village High Street you’ll find the beautiful 19th Century Cannizaro House. Here you can enjoy a drink in the sumptuous and cosy hotel lounge bar while soaking up the historic atmosphere of this Duke’s former residence which was visited by the likes of Lord Tennyson, Oscar Wilde and even the last Maharajah of Punjab.
