Dirty Bones Carnaby

The is the second, larger spin-off to the original Kensington 'dive and dog bar', serving the same style of American-style dude-food alongside swaggering cocktails. Once they had sorted out some pretty serious problems with service during their soft opening, things settled down and the chefs got the chance to show what they're best at: fried chicken in particular, served on its own or with a waffle; short ribs, a smallish portion cooked with precision; substantial hot dogs in various guises; and good sides. Beer is the best drink for the food, but there's a two-for-one 'Dirty Hour' including cocktails from 3-6pm Monday through Friday. Even though Carnaby Court is heaving with food places, Dirty Bones is cleaning up its fair share of Soho's filthy lucre.
