The Blues Kitchen in Primero de Enero

Lunchtime offer makes it one of the best places to go for lunch. £12 for ribs chips and an Oreo milkshake. Lovely stuff

Always a fabulous experience. Ribs and chicken wings 10/10. The doughnuts are a must. Awesome choice of cocktails and friendly happy staff.

I love coming to the blues kitchen any time I visit London. So many whisky’s behind the bar. Bbq food, and a great atmosphere. Can get very busy so make sure you book ahead for the evening.

Just about brimming on overcrowded, it didnt actually get to the point we couldnt move from point A to point B in the venue. The security at the door were Direct, but polite (as they should). The entrance staff can be difficult to hear over the noise but they are also polite and very friendly. The bar staff are Amazing! Top scores from me, every time I visit! The food is Flavoursome and delightful (You Must try the Corn Bread Muffin!!). Prices are Reasonable, I honestly cant complain there. Great environment for meals and drinks. Always a good experience with Blues Kitchen :)

Went here on a few dates. I must say it is a great spot. The food is okay but I love the drinks. The bar tenders tend to let you decide on what mix you want. I’m a bit of an adventurer when it comes to mixing alcohol. The service is amazing, love then ambience, the interior design is awesome, and the live band is superb. I do love how they separated the bit for the live band from the other for seating/food. Pretty dope spot for friends and definitely a date spot if she loves music.

Both host team and servers are super friendly, the venue itself is cool and live music is a vibe - altogether, a great atmosphere. Food is surprisingly good. On my last visit, a very kind blonde lady on the front desk went out of her way to make our anniversary special and would like to extend my thanks for that.

Great ambience with reasonably priced, tasty food and drinks. The bands performing can vary from okay to amazing.

First time here and very impressed! We were a group of 16 and the service was friendly and quick even with such a large group. The lunch special is a good price (£10 for meal and soft drink or £12 to include a milkshake or beerand the food was a good portion plus tasted great! Glad we recently moved office just a 2 minutes walk away 😁

The space we were seated was quite small. Venue was extremely packed so service was snail pace. Food and drinks were tasty. Live band was cool

So - first time here and didn’t know what to expect .It was free entry and even the door staff were friendly . It was a treat for Hubby’s birthday and booked a table for two . The food was tasty , the service was quick, great ambience and live music later in the evening . It was very busy and I struggled a little bit with that as first time out since the big lockdown. We managed though . The staff made a “profiterole cake “ for Hubby - with a candle ! He was pleasantly surprised . Thank you to the team members who served us with a smile every time . We will be back.

I would have given 4 stars but I think the food was a let down.I visited with a group of friends on a Tuesday evening and the atmosphere was great and it was very busy inside. We were lucky to arrive and get seats because any later than 6:30 we would not have been able to be seated for food.Table service was great, didnt have to wait around to be served and the food came out fairly quickly.The bar is right in the centre of the restaurant with seating around it. Right at the back of the restaurant are the toilets and a designated outside smoking area.I ordered the Hot Smoked Rib Eye Steak. It was delicious but not filling and no sauce other than a tablespoon of slaw and pickles, though there was enough space for a ramekin of some sort. I expected some salad and sauce for £26.00.I will go back and try other dishes (and may change my reviewas my friends meals looked quite appetising.

If you want to have a good time don’t go there!My husband and I went there to celebrate life! I just had finished my breast cancer treatment and to celebrate his birthday!We haven’t reserved a table, so we went early to make sure we get a place to sit… Eventually we managed to sit in one of the sofas next to the window (It didn’t had any reserved sign on it). Eventually one of the staff came and said we needed to move because was reserved from 7:00pm?!The place was busy, if they would leave a sign sooner we wouldn’t seat there! So after a lot of argument, this “manager “ Luca came and said that: “We weren’t aloud to sit there, because, people paid £500 for those sits and booked in advance “! And he wasn’t going to offer any other table because the place was crowded! I told him , that was the reason we came early, but eventually he refused talking to me saying I was too nervous and wasn’t my choice to sit there! Because, yes, I refused to move! It wasn’t right and they treated us like rubbish!!!I’m not going to carry on, because it’s not worth it, It just ruined my night that we planned to celebrate after months of breast cancer treatment and my husband’s birthday! I would never step on that horrible place again!!!Also they is in their website that they have live music from 9:00 pm and they didn’t until 22:50pm and only for half an hour!!!I felt bullied by the staff and manager , again, never going back!!!

Great bartenders! The Paloma cocktail was delicious!! And the lychee martini !!

Very nice beautiful place, I went for a bottomless brunch, food and drinks are good. They allocate 90 minutes for bottomless brunch from first drink which is found really good. Service was nice. They have nic variety of drought beers.

I had Pina Colada cocktails which was okay. I enjoyed the live music the most though, it was a good performance

Had the best lunch. Such good value at £12 for these amazing ribs and a shake! Emily was an amazing server. Full of smiles and was incredibly well versed on all menu items. Will definitely return!

Omg what a lovely place tasty food yummy drinks, such a huge choice of good food and drink and the setting is stunning and cosy. Cannot wait to return to this place. Staff were super friendly and professional.

Loved the American Smokehouse type menu. Impressive bourbon menu. Loved the decor too. Can’t wait to go back and catch a blues gig.

I love this place. Great atmosphere. It’s a good place for a date night. It’s quite dark but has great music and vibes. They have live music most nights - every time I’ve been they’ve had live music. Nice staff and great cocktails. I love the spicy margarita.The cornbread is nice. Very sweet. The artichoke dip is AWESOME! Highly recommend.

Place that offers everything, delicious food, nice cocktails, bar&music downstairs, live concerts and great staff. Ideal for all sorts of occasions, you cant go wrong with a night out here.

Food not good quality, especially for the price. Definitely do not recommend the ‘man burger’ or whatever it’s called. Went on a Wednesday for £5 cocktails, a good price which we appreciate. Espresso Martini was great, spicy margarita not so much, covered in salt. Generally, cocktails worthwhile, food average, some members of staff were a bit eager to take plates whilst we were still eating. Wouldn’t return.

Pretty good but not quite 5*.Attended as a group of approx 20 friends using the Playroom for karaoke.The minimum spend was £1000 which very quickly added up.First and foremost, the staff were brilliant and the drinks were great.The karaoke was great fun too!The reason they are not 5* is the food was not great in terms of portion size, especially for the price, and the room was FAR too small and absolutely boiling. Appreciate we were a large group however that is what the room is for. The temperature was unbearable at times sadly.Sort your air con out please!

Great atmosphere! We had a dedicated waiter who served is whenever we needed. We wanted to remove absinthe from a cocktail that we had and he was kind enough go and ask the bartenders and they said that’s fine, we then ordered the same drinks and he remembered we did not want the absinthe.

Great food and drinks! We had the bottomless brunch followed by various plates of delicious soul food.Steven was our exceptional waiter who kept us topped up and looked after us very well.

This is my second visit both times excellent service and food. Three starters to share buffalo wings and buffalo cauliflower and was recommended the hot spinach dip amazing. Two of us had burgers but the 3rd person had pork ribs, I was amazed at the size of the ribs. Three cocktails each and shared one pudding. I cant wait to return.

The atmosphere is 💯 the feel is 💯 the music is 💯 the food is good but dessert was 💯 😍 really enjoy it staff were friendly and very welcoming

Place had a nice decor and the food was pretty good. Dropped some hot sauce on my white shirt and it doesnt seem to be coming off. Thats the sign of a good sauce! The place was clean which I appreciated with nice toilets.

Lovely decor and great atmosphere! Loved the live band and music on the dance floor.Food menu is a bit limited for vegetarians or vegans. One of the waitresses that served us was rude from the beginning, hence the 4 stars and not 5.

Had a great time. Myself and my friends rotate around and do a supper club (basically just drinksbut we went here and had an awesome time! Stephanie was fab & looked after us very well! Food was tasty too! We will be back!!

We really enjoyed the food, the beef rib is excellent and the sharing plate is huge so it’s worth it. The waitress was super nice, however the receptionist not so much, I am 8 months pregnant and they made me stand by the bar while we waited 15 mins for our table to be ready. I know it was busy but I find it a bit odd.

Incredible place, I love the vibe and of course the music. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by lovely staff that made us feel welcome. We got a great special for lunch. The food was pretty good, we both had burgers. I had the shroom burger which was a little odd but very tasty. The restaurant also made a lively gesture by adding a candle to a complimentary dessert for my friends birthday. I will definitely go back for live music.

£10 for any (lunchmain and a soft drink! Great value!I met a friend here for lunch on a Tuesday at midday. There was a reasonably varied menu (largely burgers and sandwichesand the value was excellent. The place was very quiet (maybe it gets busier later).Food came out extremely quickly.Would definitely recommend, especially for work lunches during the week.

Met my partner here for the first time a few years ago. We always go back on our anniversary, and more. The burgers are banging, good milkshake, great portion, lovely cocktail, fabulous desserts (the fried oreo is addictive). Great service. I love the pork chops so much! They do live music too after certain hours on certain days I believe

Hospitality at its finest. Our bartender, Chai, made us the meanest Burnt Pear Old Fashioned’s you’ll ever get the pleasure of tasting, also very friendly and warm. Great guy, great venue.

Good quality food. Service was amazing was in and out within an hour. Staff are friendly and attention. Cocktails are great and the ambiance was excellent

First time coming to this place and it was lovely. Had such a nice atmosphere in there. The staff were absolutely lovely. It was a busy Saturday afternoon, but despite this our food and drinks cake quickly. I ordered the sweet potato hash, and it was just lovely. For dessert I had the white chocolate and ginger cheesecake which was gorgeous. Overall, I lovely meal, though I will say the menu is very limited to either a few brunch items or burgers, so if youre looking for something with a bit more variety, this probably isnt the place to eat.

Really great restaurant! Located in a old style building with amazing architecture features, serves as a restaurant and karaoke. Food was delicious, staff was polite and helpful and efficient.

The best Pub/Bar/Club with Live music in Shoreditch. This place is huge and buzzing with energy. The music is a bit loud but thats the only way to feel the beats. You go there for the vibe - food and drinks are reasonable.

The wings superb.I have to say one of the best burgers Ive had.Big Boss Burger excellent.White chocolate and Ginger cheesecake moorish.Venue was great.The service was fantastic.Our server Mariana deserves a special mention, she made us feel welcome, good energy, had great knowledge and good recommendations for food and cocktails as me and my partner hadnt been there before.Great service all round.To top it off the live Blues band 👌🏾

Live blues or jazz...welcoming very good. The food, cocktails and service are excellent and amazing. I will advise to book in advance. If you like meat then its paradise and they do doggy bag for the rest of your plate. Recommended for dates, between friends or colleagues.

Very good welcoming...its a pleasure for everyone who love blues live music. The food is amazing and the place is nice for a date, between friends and colleagues.I didnt notice too much vegan or vegetarian foods but for everyone who loves meat...its paradise!

We were here on a Wednesday which was also conveniently £5 cocktails night. Bargain!Awesome, properly made cocktails and the deal is on all cocktails, not just a limited list (or at least it was on our visit). Bar staff know what they are doing (no printout cocktail recipes anywhere to be seen!!and are super friendly. Great atmosphere and decor. Will definitely be back for the live music and food too!

Very good service, good and atmosphere.Love how the interior is very contemporary but rustic. A bit like Tom Dixon vibes.We were seated on a. I’ve table and ordered the lunch menu offer with the main course and drinks deal.I had a delicious burger and we also had some chicken wings as a starter.Service was professional and the waiters always came to make sure were satisfied with service.One word of warning is that they have some system with splitting bills or payments, that need to be verified with the waiter with card machine.Otherwise this place is really nice casual lunch or dinner spot when you need to cheer up!

Average pub style food. Nice interior atmosphere.Szechuan ribs and Beef burger onions taste nice.The popcorn squid is disappointed, over priced (£9!)

Beef brisket, caramelised onion and cheese baguette with bacon gravy dip..... absolutely amazing and such good value, we had to talk half of it round London with us because we couldnt eat it all! (Tea sorted for my train journey back to Cornwall). Amazing service from every member of staff that we came across. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful with its amazing decor, please never ever change it.

What an amazing place with some amazing food!Must visit especially during a live show, one of the best places in London by far!I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken which was so tender and tastyMy friends ordered the vegan burger and a vegetarian salad which were also pretty good!We also got some Hot Spinach for an appetizer, I was so surprised from the amazing taste and texture of the spinach crisps and the dipping sauce was also very good. Its a must to order this if you want something new and different.As i previously said this is one of my favorite spots in London with some great atmosphere, great and fast service and amazing food! Will be visiting a lot more often from now on.

Went for a friends birthday meal. Was very busy and vibrant on arrival. Friendly staff a d the atmosphere was kl.The portions are huge!! Very American and a bit much for me.Good place for a catch up with friends or drinks and snacks. Would recommend

really enjoyed it here. reasonably priced and great variety on the menu. loved the popcorn squid and would go back just for that and to try other items. we also had the hot buffalo chicken burger and the shrimp burger. both were tasty although the french fries weren’t anything special. nice ambience/vibe although a bit loud for me. very popular and trending eatery so make sure you prebook a table via their site.

Very nice bar with fantastic entertainment. The food was outstanding and the staff are very hard working and care about every customer. I would definitely go again but not in a hurry purely because the price was WAYYY too high for the Eastend. The Eastend already has the best food in London but pricey is not for the East. Especially the service charge, this is not the US and service charge should be optional, not automatically included. With prices like that, remove the service charge and up the staff wages. Good food, beer was ok but not what I would enjoy consuming all night. Prices are outrageous

Went from one of my favourites to one of disappointment. This is my first visit since the pandemic began. I believe they changed their menu significantly, losing their platters such as Wings and Things (amazing value and selectionand sides such as their sweet potato fries (one of the best in London). The quality of the food has generally decreased as well. Their buffalo wings are not as addictive - lacking depth. However, it is worth coming on a Sunday for their ribs. Bring an appetite and a friend. Staff are still superb. Ambiance is fantastic. Decent value.
