Dirty Bones

Notting Hill & West London

LoginSave

Situated in a low-lit basement, Dirty Bones divides into a throwback cocktail bar – decorated with a pinball machine and other retro devices – a lounge and a restaurant. The menu is predominantly gung-ho, meaty US comfort food (tempered with vegan choices) such as hot dogs, 'flat iron' steaks, ribs and crispy fried chicken, with an occasional maverick inclusion (cheeseburger gyoza dumplings).

Decent cocktails are another plus, while live bands kick off every Thursday (from 8pm), with DJs taking up the slack on Friday and Saturday (from 9pm).
