Specialties: From the soul-enriching Cajun gumbo of New Orleans to the Ahi tuna of California, by way of the Deep South’s soul food like Fried Chicken & Waffles, there’s a rotating menu of dishes which lie at the heart of America’s regional cuisines.

Good drink is as important to us as good food, so we offer a comprehensive selection of spirits (especially bourbon and rum), cocktails made with care and excellent ingredients (even our house pours are brands that we happily drink neat), and a superb selection of lovingly selected wines with an emphasis on American wines of interesting varieties and styles you may not have tried before.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic table for 2 on date night, a large group booking for a birthday or other private event, a working lunch with your team in our private dining room, or just a cocktail and snack at the bar by yourself, we’re happy to cater to any and all of your needs.

‘Relaxed Excellence’ is key to The Fat Bear – superb service and food in a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. Established in 2013. Starting as a pop-up operator hosting one-off events across London, The Fat Bear eventually settled into a 3 month residency in Soho. Returning briefly to the nomadic life afterwards it has now found a semi-permanent home above the Rising Sun Pub in Blackfriars.

Wev’e been proud to host previous events for Yelp Elites to show the community what we’re all about.
