Best Live Music Restaurants in Woolwich

Fantastic experience. All the food was great with the exception of the vegan “pulled pork” which was way too sweet to eat. However, besides that we really had a great time and want to call out our host and server (Amini?). Just a wonderful host and ambassador for Joia. They deserve recognition!

Lovely place for drinks, when we first arrived we didn’t book but the guy/host was so helpful and let us know we could book on line, he recommended another place for a quick drink. After the table was booked we went back and the staff were so friendly and helpful- will definitely go back. Nice peaceful vibes with good drinks in the river

Food was fantastic, service was 5 star, DJ was lit Best vibes

Really nice new spot in Dagenham, such a great addition to the area! As someone who lives in Barking and Dagenham, it's refreshing to see more aesthetically pleasing venues popping up. The space is clean, intimate, and has a great vibe, which I really liked. The DJ was excellent and inclusive with the music selection, not just Afrobeats, but a good mix of other genres too, which is often missing in many African lounges and bars. As for the food, I only tried the suya. It wasn’t bad, but I’ve definitely had better elsewhere. Service was generally fine, though I do feel that if the venue were busier, the team might struggle a bit. We ordered a few bottles of champagne, and unfortunately, each one was served warm. Just a note — champagne should always be served chilled. The ice bucket is meant to maintain the temperature. That said, I’d definitely go back! It’s a lovely spot with lots of potential!

We went at 6 pm, which is very early so rather empty. However, the food was excellent and the service really good.
