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!

Our Drinks Menu The Set List: Volume 1 - is a setlist for your evening starting with Disc 01: The Intro, drinks we're well known for and easy going drinks to start your night; Disc 02: The Crescendo, we dial it up with more playful drinks and rich flavours and Disc 03: The Finish, for when you've decided you'll have just one more, we suggest you finish with one of these drinks.

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.
