181 Upper Street, Barnsbury, London, N1 1RQ (View on Google Map)

Due to reopen on 28th March under its original name - good news indeed. Bar snacks are available throughout the day. They serve roasts from 12pm-6pm on Sundays.

Nov 2024 - The Dally, N1 (previously Jack’s Bar). Conversion to private members club. Planning permission is needed for change of use. Enforcement notified. Thankfully this has not happened.

19/12/22 - Noted last night as closed and boarded up.

This place never reopened after the first lockdown. It has very recently reopened as Jacks Bar; no obvious website to date, but it looks like some kind of American diner/dive bar. It is very unlikely that any of the info on this page is accurate except for the name change.

Previously - Changed name to Upper House - so what follows (other than the impressiveness of the building) is likely to be out of date, relating to its previous incarnation.

Dead Dolls House began as a ‘pop-up’ in Dalston, temporarily moved to Hoxton Square before taking up permanent residence in this impressive three-storey Victorian townhouse. It describes itself as a multi-functional, multi-sensory experimental pleasure palace, dedicated to the creative pursuits of dining, drinking, art and entertainment. But not if you fancy a drop of cask beer! Visit the web site to get a flavour of the place. The Parlour bar situated on the ground floor is their public bar. The Dead Dolls House is part of East Born Project run by Gregory Barry, Morten Jensen, Darren Collins & Paul Harrington.

Historic Interest

Local Listing:- Three storey three windows. Parapet. Painted brick and stucco. Strong moulded top cornice. Simple cornices and decorative panels over first floor windows of Victorian design. Large painted relief panel of hounds at chase, second floor. Painted relief. Hardwood mouldings. Setted carriage entrance.
