McQueen Bar / Club / Lounge / Restaurant

Shoreditch / Brick Lane, London –

Most iconic figures are immortalized in statues, but for King of Cool Steve McQueen, nothing short of an entire entertainment complex would do.

An embodiment of the late movie star’s own style and passions, McQueen is a masculine, modern, and sleek venue that attracts an affluent clientele of corporate ladder climbers and target-driven sales execs.

Three distinct areas provide space for drinking, dinner, and dancing, beginning with the luxurious lounge, where dark wood, speed racing memorabilia, and classic aviation pieces form the manly backdrop for after-work revelers chatting at the long bar or gathered on the tufted leather sofas.

Smooth talkers looking to wine and dine their dates head to the chocolate leather banquettes in the elegant dining room to clink glasses beneath gold-framed images of Steve, while those ready to party make their way through a hallway to the titillating downstairs club, laced with mirrors and photos of nude models.

A gentrified version of the Playboy Mansion, the subterranean area is most famous for the vivacious showgirls who take to the stage for weekly burlesque acts that fire up the testosterone-charged crowd even more.

As rugged and cool as the man himself, McQueen’s is the perfect lair for patrons looking to live and play as hard as the gritty Hollywood legend did.
