For a private dining experience that turns up the heat - both literally and figuratively - Red Dog Saloon Hoxton offers a smokin’ setting in the heart of East London. Just a short stroll from Old Street Station and nestled in buzzy Hoxton Square, this all-American BBQ joint serves Southern comfort, craft cocktails, and a dose of laid-back attitude, all in one meaty package.
At street level, the saloon-style restaurant is all exposed brick, booth seating and bourbon-fuelled bonhomie. But it’s downstairs where the real party happens. Louie’s, the venue’s private basement bar, is a fully kitted-out space ideal for birthdays, after-work gatherings, brand events, or a Saturday night knees-up with friends. With its own bar, state-of-the-art sound system, and nightclub feel, it’s got the energy of an East London club but with all the hospitality of your favourite local.
Food-wise, expect bold, messy, flavour-packed plates. There’s the Gooey Louie burger (yes, it’s as over the top as it sounds), pork belly burnt ends glazed in Dr Pepper, and towering platters like the USS Oklahomae loaded with everything from St Louis ribs and USDA brisket to barbecue empanadas and morcilla. For groups, it’s the ultimate feast-and-share format, whether you go à la carte or opt for a curated buffet menu.
The drinks list plays just as hard, with house cocktails like the Strawberry Caipiroska and classic Negronis alongside a solid craft beer selection. And if you’re booking Louie’s, you’re welcome to bring in your own DJ or band to take things up a notch.
Private dining at Red Dog Saloon Hoxton is unpretentious, punchy, and built for fun. The team takes care of everything from food and drink to the logistics so all you need to do is turn up, raise a glass (or a rib), and let the good times roll. Ideal for anyone who prefers their parties with a side of smoke.
