Big Easy Canary Wharf

BBQ, Bourbon & Good Vibes in the Heart of Canary Wharf

Big Easy Canary Wharf brings Southern U.S. charm to London's sleek financial district. Located on the Park Level of Crossrail Place, this lively barbecue joint is all about big flavors, strong cocktails, and a soundtrack that sets the tone for a fun night out. Inside, it’s bustling and rustic with exposed brick, neon signage, and a buzzing open kitchen. Outside, the wraparound terrace offers skyline views—ideal for soaking in London energy before a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a few minutes’ walk from the Elizabeth Line and close to multiple live music venues, Big Easy is a convenient and crowd-pleasing spot for pre-show eats. The live music performances most nights of the week keep the vibe upbeat, while the quick, friendly service means you can enjoy a full meal without missing your opener. Their set menus and crowd-favorite combos like the "Lobster Fest" or "Bar.B.Q Blow Out" make group ordering easy when you're on a schedule.

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the generous portion sizes, friendly staff, and the atmosphere that feels like a party. The signature BBQ plates, mac 'n' cheese, and frozen margaritas are top mentions, along with the fact that the restaurant frequently hosts live music acts that enhance the pre-concert mood.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that it can get a bit noisy during peak hours, so it might not be ideal if you're after quiet conversation. Also, while service is generally quick, it can slow slightly when packed—something to keep in mind if you’re running tight on time before a show.

Big Easy Canary Wharf is your go-to for bold BBQ, live music, and a high-energy vibe just minutes from London’s top venues.
