Rotary Bar and Diner opened a few weeks ago just off Old Street round-about. From the team behind Redhook and Giant Robot, Rotary is an all-day-until-late-night music, bar and diner serving great coffee, ice-cold beer and pint-sized cocktails.
They have enlisted the talented and creative chef, Carl Clarke from Disco Bistro in St Pauls for the food and the menu focuses on wood grill British meat and Cornish day boat fish plus BBQ, buns and fresh salads.
The place is rocking and beautifully styled. If you are lucky enough to be a member, or know one, there is also a members lounge in the basement – Rotary Room – where you will most definitely want to party until the early hours.
