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
