At Homeboy we aim to bring the best of warm laid-back Irish Hospitality. Home comforts paired with delicious drinks and playful sinful food to a soundtrack of Hip-Hop and R'n'B. Modern Irish Hospitality without the twee!!
With a focus on celebrating Irish producers, the cocktail menu is composed of three pillars: Irish Whiskey, where the drinks showcase the versatility that once seen Irish Whiskey as the top selling spirit in the world; Contemporary, utilising modern techniques to create unashamedly delicious drinks; and Classics, paying homage to some of the modern classic cocktails of our time. And of course the Best Pint of Guinness in London is also served!
Upon entering Homeboy, you'll feel like you're in a living room, before reaching the warm wooden bar. A mix of exposed brick, painted features and tiles have been utilised to accentuate a cosy ‘at home’ vibe whilst maintaining a sense of contemporary design.
Homeboy’s simple food offering includes sinful snacks such as Garlic Cheese Fries and Beef Chilli Nachos, or for a more substantial meal try our Cheese Burger with our signature Spicy Mayo or an Irish classic, the Chicken Fillet Roll. Also on the menu are the homemade home comforts of Beef and Guinness Stew, served alongside Soda Bread made using Aaron's Da's recipe.

At Homeboy we are all about Modern Irish Hospitality, that’s the warm welcome you would expect from any great Irish bar paired with the skill and knowledge that has seen us be nominated as one of the best cocktail bars in the world. Homeboy Islington is a cosy intimate space with bags of character from the rows of bottles on the back bar to the exposed brick dotted with art. Warm wood, green leather banquettes, and parquet bar counter all to a soundtrack of hip hop and RnB. The venue has a maximum capacity of 120 guests, but we welcome private hire bookings of any size. Our minimum spend for full venue hire is between £1500 and £10,000 dependant on the date and timing of your event. Our drinks are delicious and our food sinfully simple. We offer a range of food platters and drinks packages from drinks on arrival to late night snacks. We’re looking forward to you hosting your next event with us. We will organise everything to make your event as fun and carefree as possible! |
