Steam & Rye

Steam and Rye opened in November 2013 and is a new one-stop destination venue by London entrepreneur Nick House, co-founder of (Mahiki, Whisky Mist and Bodo Schloss). Teaming up with British sweetheart Kelly Brook, we have created a spectacular 550 capacity space harking back to a bygone era, encapsulating America’s Gilded Age, a time of glamour, decadence & idealism in the old Bank of New York building in Bank, the heart of the City of London. Inspired by the United States of the 1940s, the late bar & restaurant is themed around Grand Central station and will offer live music and dancing with a classic Americana theme open Monday-Saturday from Midday-3am. The grand living of the Great Gatsby era will be met by the old ways of the Wild West and travelling shows will be fused with the stirrings of the new, young sound of rock ’n’ roll. Steam & Rye features classic Americana fare including USDA Grain-fed beef from Greater Omaha, BBQ spare ribs & beautifully flavoured steaks cooked on the Josper Grill. Additionally, crab cakes and smoked pulled pork give a hint of what’s to come, all prepared by a team led by celebrated chef Andrew McLeish (of Michelin starred Chapter One, Kent). Britain’s top bartender and finalist in the Diageo World Class competition Andy Mil (formally of London Cocktail Club) is heading up the bars which serve both classic and bespoke cocktails, created by one of Britain’s leading mixologists.
