What's the draw
Dude food goes upmarket at the second location of Covent Garden favourite Joe's, which features sharing platters of American-style BBQ.
What to drink
OK, there's a wine list. But there's also a bourbon and rye list, which is bigger and badder. Sip it neat or peruse the cocktail menu – we loved the Bullish Negroni and the Rumdog Millionaire No2.
What to eat
Short rib meat loaf is succulent and delicious, and mac 'n' cheese hits the spot. The jewel in the crown is the tea-brined, Southern-fried chicken with lemon dust. Finger-licki– erm... very, very good.
