Really loving this place already. After being swept up into the launch night when passing through Dalston a few weeks back, we came away pretty chuffed that this previously gritty pub-club has undergone an impressive, design-focused glow up.
We learnt that the latest incarnation of the Marquis (now fondly known as the Marquee Moon) has been positioned as a restaurant / cocktail / hi-fi bar, & a welcomed new fixture on the ever evolving Stokey high st strip.
I’d heard rumblings around the change of hands for this space, and with some digging was pleased to see the revamp now sits with the seasoned owners behind Hackney Wick’s All My Friends & Peckham's The Greyhound. Friendly and warm feel - the launch night felt like a community of friends coming together for a well overdue knees up.
We went back the following Sunday to trial the menu (divine - highlights were the sea bream & the watermelon salad). If you’re into your interiors, the downstairs has been unveiled as a seductively lit cocktail bar with a well considered, modest mid-century aesthetic for all your date-night conversation pit desires. Finally, a vast chasm on the high St has been filled, much to the local's delight.
