What a fantastic little Tapas bar this is. Always busy and stood the test of time of many years open. Pick your tapa with each drink included in the price. On the table so you can have a look. Very friendly helpful staff. Go if you can and be prepared to wait for a table on Sunday: for the paella tapa

Good choice of tapas and great service. A lovely bar with a choice of tables in or out of the sun, plus inside. Nothing has changed in the years I have been coming here. Waitress knows what I want to drink, as I always drink the same thing. One of the best bars around. Only change in the last few years is that the prices have increased, but it is the same everywhere.
