Welcome to the Mascara Bar, Stoke Newington's Premier Arts and Music venue.

An Alternative place for alternative people.

The perfect mix of friendly bar and great venue with a wide variety of entertainment, including Live Bands, Jazz, Comedy, Spoken Word, Cinema and Theatre. Be inspired by our resident poet Tom Eastwood's work. A new poem is displayed every week. Fantastic jukebox, and a retro tabletop arcade game for your amusement.

Children are welcome until 6pm, however, they are not permitted to sit at the bar.

Our bar is wheelchair accessible, and we also have a rear stage door area that provides easy delivery and removal of stage equipment and instruments by vehicle.

We are also available for functions and private parties for up to 150 people. View the Themed Restaurant Nights page for photographs of our wonderful Beaujolais Nouveau Night and see how we can present our venue for your event. 

What we most certainly aren't is run of the mill. We try to make sure that every time you visit us there's something just that little bit special, something different from the common herd.

So if you fancy something a bit more interesting, get your glad rags on and give you and your girlfriend, boyfriend, partner or whatever a bit of a treat for a change.

We serve Sunday Lunch, and hot and cold snacks throughout the week.

Now open Mondays from 12pm.
