Home From Home

Marinero Lounge is a relaxed, café bar in the heart of Ipswich, serving great food all day, every day. Come on in to enjoy your home-from-home.

There are two reasons behind this Lounge’s name. Marinero means sailor/mariner in Spanish, but is also a nod to Paul Mariner, an Ipswich Town legend who passed away in 2021. Alex Reilley, one of our founders, is a big Ipswich Town fan, so we thought it seemed fitting!

Opening Times

Sunday - Thursday 9am-11pm
Friday - Saturday 9am-12am
