About ESQ
South East London's premium destination for bottomless brunch, late-night dining, world-class cocktails, and unforgettable events.
More Than a Venue
ESQ Cocktail Bar & Grill was born from a simple idea: South East London deserved a nightlife destination that didn't compromise. A place where the food is as good as the cocktails, the music is always right, and every night feels like an event.
Located on the Old Kent Road, ESQ has become the go-to spot for those who want more from their night out. Whether it's our legendary bottomless brunches that turn Saturday afternoons into full-blown parties, our late-night dining that keeps going until 3AM, or our private event packages that make every celebration unforgettable — we do it all with a level of care and style that sets us apart.
Our cocktails are crafted by expert mixologists who treat every drink as art. Our kitchen serves everything from elevated comfort food to global fusion dishes. And our DJs spin Afrobeats, Amapiano, R&B, and Hip Hop that keeps the energy exactly where it needs to be.
At ESQ, it's all about the experience. And we make sure every one is worth remembering.
