About Us:

We are Barrio Bars. Bringing a slap of Latin attitude to a neighbourhood near you. With slammin’ party joints in North, South, East, West & Central London. Slingin’ authentic Margaritas, ice cold beers & filthy tacos all week long – and on weekends – that’s when the party comes alive. From a quiet afternoon sipping a margarita and sharing tacos, to shots of tequila and salsa moves, our bars are an experience of a lifetime! We pride ourselves in great guest experience and throwing the best parties. We would like to up the game with providing tasty food from fresh ingredients not just during our events, such as our awesome weekend Brunches, but also as many days as possible!
