A theatreland favourite found within the New York-style Joe Allen brasserie in Covent Garden. This wonderfully paired-back place is as popular with theatre-goers, as it is their staff and some of the actors - which helps to encapsulate the full Off-Broadway experience from across the pond. When it comes to drinks, classic cocktails are the order of the day here and Joe's fruity sodas aren't to be missed if you're in search of a non-alc option. Filling bar snacks, live piano most nights and generally all-round great value make this a worthwhile option for pre-show meet-ups.
