Square Meal Review of McQueen ?

In homage to the late Steve – not the late Alexander – the ground-floor bar at McQueen looks like it could be a set from one of the piercing blue-eyed one’s films (a swish lounge for Thomas Crown, maybe?). Hit movie-themed cocktails also get in on the act – Le Mans, Papillon, Bullitt (Myers dark rum, Licor 43, lime bitters & ginger ale) & The Getaway (a Campari & Mandarin liqueur sour), for example. Penthouse-fancying suits mix with local ‘nu-meejah’ types as they quaff easy-priced South African house wines – or silly-money fizz, if they’re out to impress. Another room is used for dining, with manly steaks & burgers the order of the day, as well as a few more elegant nibble such as seared scallops with truffled cauliflower. Meanwhile, the basement is given over to a glam, 60s-inspired club bar that promises big-name DJs such as Seb Fontaine & Carl Cox, live bands, burlesque & comedy showcases.

    I had my first meal at McQueen last Saturday and I have to say that I was nicely surprised. Previously I haven't had good experiences with restaurants that are attached to bar and/or clubs, so my expectations were not very high. But boy I was wrong. The Restaurant is such a cool and atmospheric room, a little oasis away from the buzzy bar next door. As we came in we were greeted by our lovely waitress who served us with so much grace and attention.

    For starters we had the Maryland crab cake which was just delicious. Fresh, crispy and just enough to wet our appetites. For main course I chose the rib eye stake, which was cooked to perfection. My date had baked wild sea bass served with crushed parsnips. A simple dish and yet so tasty and memorable. By the end of our meal we were quite full to have dessert but finished the evening with some dessert wine recommended by our lovely waitress.

    After dinner, we popped down to the club area which was buzzing and in full swing… McQueen is now my favourite venue in East London, there is nothing quite it this side of London. Highly recommend it!

    McQueen is an amazing venue and has such a great atmosphere. My boyfriend and I went for a few drinks after work and it didn’t fail to please. It had a nice ambience, beautifully furnished and definitely represents the king of cool, superbly. I loved it and recommend it for the experience. Absolutely loved it. 10/10

    I went to McQueen for drinks and dinner last night and had an amazing time. The whole venue is very classy and probably the most upmarket Lounge Bar in Shoreditch. First we had a couple of cocktails which were really well done. Bar staff were attentive and engaging, so different from the ‘trendy hotspots’ in West End and Chelsea. We decided to try the Restaurant adjacent to the Bar and were nicely surprised by it. The dining room is glamorous and tasteful, with great pictures of Steve McQueen. It feels really sophisticated, like a classic Hollywood film. For starters, I had a Goat Cheese Tart with Roasted Vegetables, a simple light dish but full of flavours. For main I had a Baked Seabass with Saffron infused parsnip, oyster fritters and courgette ribbons, probably the best seabass I had. Although the restaurant wasn't that busy as it's still quite new, it didn't lack in atmosphere, mostly because the manager was so friendly and helped to make it a really nice evening. I'll definitely be going back for more.
