The Blues Kitchen Shoreditch

We waited for our cocktails for about 40 minutes. The waitresses were pushy, constantly trying to get us to order more food. I even went to the bar to cancel my order because waiting 40 minutes for cocktails, despite reminding them several times, is simply unacceptable. As soon as I complained and cancelled, the waitress came and asked us to pay for the food we hadn’t even finished yet. Awful! I was very disappointed. One of the cocktails we did receive tasted so bad that my partner couldn’t even drink it. Before the musicians started playing, we had about an hour and a half to enjoy our food and drinks — but we didn’t enjoy it at all. Once the music began, it was so loud that I couldn’t hear the waitress, my partner, or even myself. It felt more like a nightclub than a blues venue. I was expecting a real blues atmosphere. I had wanted to visit this place for a long time, but it turned out to be more about showing off than about quality. And it was so expensive! I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Food, drinks, ambience, service - 10/10!! Blues Kitchen is always such a good time and the standard is consistent. Would highly recommend the Popcorn Squid and Buffalo Wings as a starter. Their Brisket Sandwich and Cheeseburger is always a hit as well - perfectly cooked and extremely flavourful. I tried the Salmon for the first time yesterday and it was, as expected, sensational -marinated and cooked to perfection. The staff are always super accommodating which really adds to the experience :)

Always a great night out! The entertainment here is the best around and the atmosphere is unreal! Servers see everyone quickly so you won’t go long without your next drink 😁 PSA: It is very loud, boiling hot and always packed (but it’s worth it!)
