In London more than any other city, there's this strange phenomenon which takes place around midday and again in the evenings, when its denizens spill out onto the pavements in front of the pubs and spend a few hours drinking and talking. Now, the sidewalk isn't the most salubrious setting, and the brains at McQueen had the bright idea of creating their own outdoor space across from the fashionable Shoreditch bar/club/restaurant. What they succeeded in doing is creating an outdoor drinking den ideal for catching rays and downing carefully crafted cocktails while rubbing shoulders with a good-looking crowd. It will trump your office local by a country mile. 

McQueen Outdoor brings to mind some of the spaces you might find in cities like Berlin or Lisbon, given an upmarket design scheme. Paying homage to the eponymous Steve McQueen, Bristol-based street artist Visual Waste has decorated the walls and alcoves spread throughout with graffiti depicting the silver screen icon in various scenes from his most famous films.  The space is laid out with low-slung seating that would sit easy at a Balearic beach club, big white umbrellas to protect drinkers from hot sun or occasional drizzle, and some amazing, ancient brickwork reminiscent of the club, with masonry arches that add a unique element. 

In terms of F&B, there's a seasonal cocktail menu perfectly calibrated to quench your summer thirst - with beverages including the McQueen Spritz (Kamm & Sons, Crème de Cassis, Prosecco and soda), the Cincinnati Cooler (Grey Goose vodka, Mandarine Napoleon, fresh mandarins, cinnamon syrup and fresh lime juice) and a dedicated Champagne bar. If all of the drinking piques your appetite, they've brought in pop-up phenom Rockadollar Dogs to provide sustenance, with a wide range of sausages on offer that put Grey's Papaya to shame. 

McQueen Outdoor is the kind of evolution that keeps a venue keen. And it's carved itself out as one of the top spots in the City and Shoreditch to drink al fresco. We're very excited to be throwing our summer party here - and hope you can make it too!

Testimonials

I’ve been with Innerplace pretty much since they started which is over 21 years now. Whilst I have access to other concierges through work and credit cards, Innerplace will always be my go to due to their incredible service, friendliness, expertise, knowledge and most of all their ability to get me a last minute booking at the most in demand restaurants in town, even when fully booked!

In the last few years they’ve really upped their game in terms of members parties and access to events which as well as being fun are also great networking opportunities. Tim has put together an incredible team and its always a pleasure to speak with them over email, phone and also when I meet them in person.

Most recently I asked them to find me a venue for our work summer drinks as I wasn’t able to find anything within budget or with the required flexibility on numbers, food and drink. They found me an incredible venue which ticked all the boxes and they did all the leg work keeping me up to date and well informed.

Keep up the great work!

Testimonials

The service I have received from Innerplace has been superb every time, not just dinner or club reservations but also gigs, events and other lifestyle requests... In conjunction with the regular parties that you host I believe the membership is great value for money. Even helping me with a recent weekend trip to New York, which was exceptional. Everything ran like clockwork making my life a lot easier than it otherwise it would have been. A truly great service.
