Designed in the image of Brooklyn’s loft-style apartments, Dirty Bones Soho stands as an atmospheric Central London bar and dining destination focused on classic American comfort, bottomless brunch, and quirky cocktails. If you’re looking for a slice of New York cool, this spot is right up your alley.
Interiors, in classic Big Apple fashion, offer a moodily lit haven that mirrors the indulgent naughtiness of the menu. Expect exposed brick walls, bare hanging light fixtures, comfortable booth seating and simple tables and chairs. Behind the bar, shelves are stacked with just about every spirit you might desire.
As for the Dirty Bones Soho menu, expect classic bar small plates, from frickles and chicken wings to cheeseburger gyozas, alongside tacos and burgers such as the cleverly named ‘Wagyu-Tang’, complete with two British wagyu patties, American cheese, shoestring onions, chipotle aioli and sliced pickles. On weekdays, Dirty Bones also offers a great-value fixed lunch menu, with a choice of burger served with fries, corn ribs or sriracha slaw.
Making weekend plans? The Dirty Bones brunch is sure to keep you satisfied. Chicken and waffles are a must: koji and buttermilk-encrusted chicken thighs topped with a fried egg, while the confit duck waffles are a worthy contender. There’s also the option to go bottomless, unlocking more mains from the à la carte menu, plus a choice of fizz, beer or cocktails such as the Dirty Mary, spiked with pickle juice and served with a sour cream and onion Pringle rim, or the Uptown Spritz with Tanqueray gin, Aperol, Campari, grapefruit bitters, lemon and ginger ale. Better yet, you can mix and match your drinks.
Alternatively, if bottomless isn’t for you, or you’re simply after post-work drinks, the cocktail list covers everything from pickleback shots to low- and no-alcohol options. Highlights include the ‘Mutt's Nuts’, a playful take on a Whiskey Sour combining Woodford Reserve, apple, cinnamon and vanilla-infused maple syrup, Angostura bitters and lemon.
