Plaquemine Lock

After being taken over by Jacob Kennedy, the man behind Bocca di Lupo, Plaquemine Lock was transformed into a Creole and Cajun-inspired pub. Named after the Louisiana lock that his great-grandmother opened, and filled with his mum's murals of Southern America, it's not to be missed. You can also find live jazz here most nights of the week.

Located next to the canal in Angel, the pub has kept many of its more British features with a wooden bar and traditional feel. The menu, on the other hand, is very much an American affair, with plates of seafood, including crab, crayfish and oysters. Louisiana-style cocktails are also served, such as the Creole bloody mary, made of vodka, tomato Creole spice and lemon. Or, if you fancy a brew, there are plenty of craft pints up for grabs.
