Set to open this spring on Brewer Street in London’s Soho, Park Row is an immersive dining concept that will pay tribute to DC Comics’ cast of characters – including Batman, the Joker, Harley Quinn, and Wonder Woman. This extraordinary venue, spanning 18,000 sq ft, will offer an innovative experience like no other worldwide.
What to Expect at Park Row
Park Row will feature five distinct restaurants seating 330 people, along with three chic bar areas, all meticulously designed to channel DC’s heroes and villains. Here is what you can look forward to:

- The Penguin’s Iceberg Lounge: An art deco-style dining room that anchors the overall experience.
- Harley Quinn’s Restaurant: A fun and playful omakase dining experience that captures the essence of this beloved character.
- Old Gotham City: A “villainous speakeasy” that allows walk-ins only.
- Monarch Theatre: Offering a multisensory tasting menu, this £120-per-head experience uses state-of-the-art projection mapping technology to explore the psychology of heroism through food, available for bookings up to three months in advance.
Collaboration and Culinary Creativity
Park Row is a collaborative effort between Wonderland Restaurants, Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and DC. This impressive team includes alumni from prestigious establishments such as Alinea, The Fat Duck, and Sushisamba, ensuring diners enjoy an exceptional culinary experience.
James Bulmer, the chief creative officer of Wonderland, expressed excitement about this collaboration, stating, “We are delighted to partner with Warner Bros. to create their first immersive DC-inspired gastronomic restaurant.” He further elaborated on his vision: “For me, great food experiences are about unlocking guests’ emotions and creating edible memories.”
