This lively, contemporary bar-diner on the main Camden drag celebrates American musical heritage in song (live shows, DJs, free harmonica lessons), spirits and sustenance.

Dino Ribs is currently cooking cooking up - you guessed - ribs in the kitchen.

There are around 50 bourbons in a variety of categories, some used as bases for cocktails. Rarer types (Blanton’s Gold, Sazerac 18-Year-Old Rye, Woodford Reserve 1838 Sweet Mash) go for a tenner or more, but otherwise you’ll be paying £3.50 to £6. ‘America’s native spirit’ is how Kentucky bourbon is described, with Ancient Age and Evan Williams typical examples; Tennessee, ‘the first cousin of Kentucky’, is honoured with a full suit of Jack Daniel’s labels. Food stays in transatlantic character.

It’s all decked out with colourful impressions of legendary bluesmen – Blind Willie McTell, Skip James – with the occasional torn gig poster. Oh, to have been in Paris for that Leadbelly show…

I love your venue, but I hate the filthy mess left outside of your doors next to The Forge.

Went to watch the Super Bowl, apparently, they hadn't tested out their equipment before advertising the game as being shown there. They couldn't make the audio work, and were doing it on a 2.5 minute delay off of someones iphone. Was a bit confusing, when you see the ref, but don't hear the call for 2 and a half minutes! Won't go again for this kind of event.

A fine stage area at the back lends itself to smaller bands showcasing their talents. The fact that the bar is elongated makes viewing somewhat tricky if they happen to be popular and you haven't barged your way to the front. The bar is fully stocked with traditional and new tipples and the staff seem competent even when busy. Food was good, and the place is obviously very popular, the dining area that you are faced with as you enter was fully reserved on the night we went. Drinks over-priced as standard. I'd go again if there was another a band on I wanted to see, but not just for a drink.
