From 4th July 2013, a significant date in any American diary, Navajo Joe in Covent Garden - a long-standing American restaurant in London which had occupied this market-facing spot since 1996 - became Joe's Southern Kitchen & Bar. Burgers are replaced with Deep South cooking bringing an extended menu of pressure-fried chicken, soft shell crab, mac 'n' cheese, devilled ham and cornbread. The signature dish is beer can chicken - where a succulent whole chicken cooked in BBQ sauce is carved at your table and served with a choice of sides. While further favourites include the BBQ Beef Short Rib and Blackened Catfish Fillet with Cajun mustard. It's about as all-American as you can get. Set in a converted warehouse, the restaurant spreads across three floors with the dining area on the ground and first floors and a bar in the basement. The bar serves a wide selection of cocktails, American and international beers, wines and spirits, all accompanied by a southern American music soundtrack. Split into two sections, Coqs and Coquettes, the cocktail menu allows guests to choose between a selection of short and strong or long and fruity blends. Classic southern cocktails are given a new twist with options including the Redneck Popper, a creamy concoction of Jim Beam Red Stag, maple syrup, chocolate cookie syrup and Kellogg's Coco Pops; Mary and the Soldier, a unique twist on a Bloody Mary; and the Poker Cocktail, a potent combination of No.3 Gin, yellow chartreuse and Cocchi Americano.
