The site of Isow's restaurant in Brewer Street, now Madame JoJo's nightclub.

Isow's was a Kosher restaurant based at 8–10 Brewer Street, Soho, London W1, England.

Owned by Norman Isow, the restaurant was a popular venue for the entertainment industry. In 1969, Isow married actress Sheree Winton.[1] Regular celebrity patrons would have their names embossed in gold on the back of red chairs. Such names included Danny Kaye, Walt Disney, Frank Sinatra, and Jack Solomons, Cyd Charisse, Rod Steiger, Judy Garland, and Bette Davis.[1][2]

Angelo Dundee was a regular patron of Isow's and held a press conference with Muhammad Ali there.[3]

Caberet and nightclub Madame JoJo's now occupies the site where Isow's stood.[1]
