For all London’s American expats, foodies and yankophiles, the recent arrival of this rock ‘n’ roll spot has been exciting news. Honky Tonk, Chelsea’s new edgy, fun and New York inspired restaurant, is already an up and coming South West London hotspot.
The discreet entrance on Hollywood Road welcomes diners into a baby boom American time warp, where the interior is vintage-inspired, yet has a modern feel to it; the hand-drawn black and white polka dot walls are covered by album covers from the Rolling Stones, reclaimed Japanese ship lights and other accessories which would one would expect to see in the room of an Elvis Presley super fan, and where the food can only be described as authentically all-American.
Classic dishes includes Ribs, Quesadillas and mini Slider Burgers, which can be accompanied by the Honky Tonk signature drinks, including the diverse range of bourbons, beers and the signature Pickleback drink, which is bourbon chased by a shot of homemade pickle juice.
The most exciting feature of the new bar and restaurant is that each week it will throw open its doors to a weekly party brunch which will have you listening to good ol’ 50s blues, rather than experienced the winter variety. The new brunch menu features delicious classic such as French toast with Maple Syrup and Vanilla Cream, Eggs Benedict and a Full House Plate of Bacon, Bubble & Squeak, Tomatoes, Homemade Baked Beans, Eggs and Toasted Brioche. Alongside the brunch, live music will be played and Honky Tonk’s special morning cocktails will be served.
Who said alcohol, music and good grub was reserved for the evenings? When in New York, do as the New Yorkers do.
