Hoi Polloi

Venue Closed

What they say:

An all day-modernist brasserie, open for breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea, aperitifs, dinner, supper and nightcaps, Hoi Polloi is a new bar in the new Ace Hotel in Shoreditch. With power points and WiFi provided, the London hotel bar and restaurant has very much the same feel as Ace's New York hotel, full of locals working on laptops - the modern hoi polloi of Shoreditch follows suit. The chefs behind much-loved Bethnal Green restaurant, Bistrotheque, are responsible for the kitchen at Hoi Polloi, offering a modernist take on hyper-seasonal English produce and flavours.

What we say:

Hoi Polloi is a new Shoreditch bar and restaurant that caters for long-standing East London locals, upmarket hipsters, and cool creative professionals, in a stylish, casual and bustling setting. Located in the cool new boutique art-hotel, Ace Hotel (which has branches in six other of the world's coolest cities), the new Shoreditch bar takes on the hotel's penchant for creative design and contemporary art, with the modern feel making its way into the menu too. Now open, Hoi Polloi is be a chic breakfast pit-stop, or an equally dapper late night drink spot.
