Bar + Block Review

Top 10 things you need to know about Bar + Block:
1) Kings Cross is not what it used to be. Once known as the den of late night iniquity, it has changed its reputation and is now a travellers hub and Saturday night hangout. You find yourself in Kings Cross because you’ve just gotten off a train, starving. You want meat and beer in a place you can revive your tired body.
2) Bar + Block is perfectly located opposite Kings Cross station so you needn’t drag your belongings far. Inside, it’s roaring in trade – probably full of people like you – but it’s not so cramped you can’t feel comfortable.
3) If it’s a Sunday, their bottomless brunch is spot on for foodies who love perfectly cooked steak and eggs.
4) Let’s have some cocktails and beers. Cherry Bakewell cocktail for you and Brooklyn Lager for your companion. You laugh at the man on the train who ate boiled eggs for an hour as you sink into the booth and stretch your legs.
5) Your patient waitress, Melissa, smiles as you choose your food, ordering the BBQ burnt ends, mac + cheese bites, crispy squid and Tabasco chicken wings for the table. Good choices for those who want a bit of everything.
6) The BBQ burnt ends aren’t as good as expected due to being a little bit too burnt; more dusty than saucy. The mac and cheese bites make up for this with their awesome Wotsit-like coating along with the faultless wings and squid.
7) Mains time. You’ve journeyed for many an hour but you still want something light so you order the Greek lamb salad with onion rings on the side and your partner, the mixed grill.
8) The latter comprises sausage, steak, chicken and pork belly so you can take advantage of the Bar + Block’s perfect steak and other talents. Your accomplice hasn’t spoken in a while; clearly, good ass food!
9) For dessert, you pick the churros sundae after seeing them being served elsewhere around the restaurant. Man, they look delicious but unfortunately, they’re too heavy and the lemon curd doesn’t bode well with the doughy batons.
10) You down a few more beers and it’s time to go. Gathering your belongings, you return to London life outside, full and happier....read more
