Our story
A toast to good wine and great conversation
Discover the unique blend of passion, expertise, and warmth that makes Honkytonk Wine Library a Plymouth gem.
Who we are
It’s difficult to pigeon-hole Honkytonk into one category. We’re not just a bar, nor are we simply a restaurant. We’re a hybrid Wine Deli and Wine Lounge, nestled on the historic Sutton Harbour (formerly known as Sutton Pool) in Plymouth, Devon. Founded in 2018 by couple Zoe and Fitz Spencer, we’re proud to be a family-run business with a simple ethos: Wine Makes Conversation.
The people behind HonkyTonk
Fitz Spencer
With a long hospitality background and 20 years in the wine trade, Fitz brings his passion for sourcing great wines to HonkyTonk.
Zoe Spencer
The creative mind behind our cool name, Zoe is the orchestra that makes HonkyTonk tick. But Fitz and Zoe are just the beginning of our story. HonkyTonk thrives thanks to a team of passionate wine enthusiasts, skilled servers, and culinary experts who work tirelessly to create the warm, inviting atmosphere we’re known for.
Our Unique Approach
At Honkytonk, we casually combine the love of fine wine and sharing food with the craving for conversation. We’re a haven away from the hustle and bustle, offering tranquil harbour views and an atmosphere that encourages connection and relaxation.
