I love this place for Brunch . The service is super friendly , quick and easy and the food is great for meat and veg . Coffee is brilliant and a great selection of Brunchy cocktails too ;)

A large american themed restaurant with a jazz blues vibe presents a great atmosphere for dining. Friendly staff , delicious food - pulled pork sandwich is amazing and great value for money !

Come here on Monday night and enjoy with the Rib Night! I loved it! Just loved it!!! They have the best ribs whether pork or beef !!!! You won't regret it.. Highly recommended.. #blueskitchenribs

Franz Vitulli

Awesome food and great drink selection, can't go wrong with the short beef ribs or the New Orleans gumbo , and finish your evening off with a Wibble. Nice atmosphere too. Really in love with the place.

Emily-jane

Such a fun night out, live bands , worth pre booking tickets to save queuing! Big area for dancing . Really well stocked bar , friendly bar staff . You can also eat here earlier on in the evening.

Kat Rubi

Really nice food and drinks!! Great value for money , but the most amazing thing about this place is the service..! Polite, happy and good energy! Oh! And they always have cool live bands ... #cheers

Francisca Nunes de Almeida

Went there at lunch time so there were not much blues going on, but food was just amazing!! The spinach cheesy cream or fried ox starters were really good and the oreo donuts for desert were perfect!

Theo Evr

Best place in town ! the food is superb, the 12 hour slow cooked St. Louis Pork Rib melt in your mouth and is divine! Great American bluesy atmosphere, some good strong cocktails !

Sam J.

Beautiful little place with SO many choices of bourbons and other spirits. The fried chicken wasn't so great but the service was really good so I'll give it another go :) Live music every night!

Brad T

Not only an outstanding bourbon selection (4 roses small batch) but quite possibly the best Zombie I've ever had in London.

Justine Arreche

Quirky "American" themed bar and restaurant . Big on BBQ here so if you don't eat meat you're limited to fries . But don't worry, there's plenty of Whisky . Absolutely get the Bulliet Bourbon .

James Parton

Went during the week at lunch time. Told you have to book a couple of weeks in advance for a Saturday. Great interior, very hip . Had the wings and pit beans. Hubba Hubba.

Richard Wiggins

Food was great and good cocktails too. Didn't have it but the lobster looked great and good value . Live band later was really good.

Yasmin Yazdani

Biggest ribs I've seen in my life. All the food was excellent. If you're wondering about the alligator , it's served like this.

Jenna Paglino

Loved the industrial atmosphere. Live music , bbq , drinks, great staff , what more could you ask for?

Matt Dramby

Awesome for nights out. Book in advance and great live music every night!

Ceara Pixie

The food was average, nice sweet potato fries though. I think the decor and atmosphere would be the reason I would go back. It was a good experience overall and I would recommend for a drink!

Phil Calçado

Great food. Monday Rib Nights is the best deal in town , £10 for a huge pile of food cooked to perfection. Beer selection can improve, though

Oliver Shreeve

Large American style eatery that must be pretty good considering how busy it gets and the Oreo cookie doughnut with salted caramel

Celal

Nice place and it has really good ambience.. Delicious cocktails and buffolo wings

Clara Eloy

mhmm not incredible.. the burger was average but the buttermilk fried chicken was very good.

Julia Kate

Loved the happy, social vibe here. Great atmosphere. Definitely going back! Wait for a seat its worth it!

Lucas Guratti

Forget about the food, it's not good. Go after 10 to see the amazing bands and have a few drinks.

Ieva Barauskaite

Book in advance. This place gets really, really busy! Portions are large and appetisers aren't necessary. Was v. noisy on Saturday evening, music a bit too loud to converse around the table.

Navi Sandhu

Had the ribs and fries for mains. Starter was the alligator . Ribs were ok, not the best I've had. Starter was good, service was good. Very trendy place , was busy for a lunch time

Joel Spence

Great cocktails and food. Definitely worth the wait for a seat if there restaurant is busy

Laura L

Good burgers (I went for the buffalo chicken ) and great friendly service from Nick. Winnebago looks pretty cool for groups

Anatolii Pavlovskyi

Very nice place! Cool music and cocktails ! A bit spicy buffalo wings , but portions quite big!

Giacomo Mason

Consistently good night out. Nothing edgy , just good soul music to dance to, and a big selection of bourbons

Matt Barber

Big man tings going on here. Rib plate is huge. Wings are so big in the game. Service is friendly .

Nata Sha

Amazing beef rib and old fashioned cocktails !

Mike Brosche

Great bourbon selection and cool decorations

One of the amazing venues for American food.The band was great! I enjoyed here a lot!

Diana Costa

The BBQ combo is amazing and all you need a friday's lunch to be! Also, great whiskey

Book the Winnebago at the back if you have a group. It's costs nothing (you just have a minimum spend) and it's AWESOME!

James Ferguson

Big venue able to accommodate large groups for drinks and food. Classic American food .

Try the neworleans gombo With sweet potato fries

Jess Parker

Great for work team lunches . Try the pulled beef roll .

The manager Faiz is an absolute wankshaft. Claimed that we were LUCKY to get a table and should thank him, demanded I ‘look at him’ when lecturing me and rushing us to pay the bill. Proper rude.

Kopernikus

Nice and lively environment with live music

Iain Nash

Great ambience and lively crowd , fun music most nights.
