About Lobo Rojo
Lobo Rojo is an independent Mexican restaurant and bar on Union Quay, in the handsome Grade II-listed Irvin Building that once housed Irvin's Brasserie. Open since 2019, it has become one of the Fish Quay's most popular spots for a lively evening.
The kitchen serves authentic Mexican street food, from tacos and small plates to sharing dishes, matched with a busy bar and outdoor seating looking over the Quay. The mix of characterful old building, riverside setting and a proper drinks list makes it a firm local favourite.
