Maxwell’s Bar & Grill Menu

Maxwell’s Bar & Grill is an American casual dining restaurant at 34 King Street in Covent Garden. The business traces its story to 1972 and has become a lively West End destination for groups, families and visitors exploring the surrounding theatres and shops.

Juicy burgers and sizzling fajitas are long standing specialities, joined by steaks, salads and classic club sandwiches. Nachos and sharing plates suit the sociable setting, while tacos and seasonal promotions add variety to the core grill focused menu.

The broad selection makes it possible to order a quick main course or build a longer meal with starters and dessert. Its informal atmosphere and central location work particularly well for birthday groups and pre-theatre dining without requiring a formal dress code.

Cocktails and margaritas are a major part of the bar, supported by beer, wine and alcohol free choices. Guests with allergies should check the current menu and speak to staff because burger buns, marinades, sauces and shared cooking equipment can involve several common allergens.

Address: 34 King Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8JD, England
