Description

Barrio Angel is a DJ bar, that combines the spirit of community with street culture. Their unique interior takes inspiration from the streets of London to New York, Miami to Mexico, Rio to Havana and charms upon first glance.

A fire-fight of colour, Barrio Angel does its South American culture proud. Bustling between ceilings laden in tropical plants and umbrellas, walls abundant in luminescent tiling and a decked out indoor caravan for private parties and unique post-work drinks alike, Barrio Angel is to be seen to be believed.

With generous happy hours and food deals throughout the week there's no reason why you shouldn't pop in to Barrio Angel for a refreshing cocktail and some bangin' tunes. Barrio Angel focuses on a love of music in all its worldly genres, an appreciation of upcoming DJs and musicians, combined with an appetite for food and drink sourced from all corners and served how they should be. They've scoured the world to offer you the best of the bunch and nothing less. Whether it's ice cold Mexican beer, Caipirinhas served 'no estilo brasileiro', exquisite coffee from Columbia or exotic fruit combinations in our smoothies and juices... you are guaranteed something to tingle your taste buds!

Good night here, though I put my card in to start a. Tab, at the end of the night paid the tab with no quibbles but saw we never got 2 for 1 cocktails before 7 and were charged full price for everything, perhaps best just to pay for drinks separately before 7 then start a tab....... at 1230am i wasn’t really in a proper state to discuss this. Ah well Visited Barrio Angel on 2017-12-22

Me & my friends (8 of us in total) went there on Saturday to celebrate my birthday.BUT we left after 10 MIN!!! The place was way too busy, you could barely move left and right, let alone dance or order drinks from the bar. Plus the floor was covered in smashed glass and none of the staff was bothered to clean it. They let way too many people in such a small place & that is a big health and safety hazard. What would it happen in case of a fire??? Def not going there again as i don't feel safe & comfortable &I won't recommend it to anyone. Visited Barrio Angel on 2017-11-11

I booked an area for 15 of us (my birthday drinks) and Barrio provided us with a great seating area at the front with sofas which worked perfectly. Happy hour cocktails were good value and as the night progressed everyone was up dancing and enjoying themselves (the DJ didn't disappoint). Overall highly recommended!

Unfortunately my experience was not very good. When I called to book the table I clearly specified that I wanted the "Caravan" and so it was confirmed. When we arrived the table booked for me was another one. I asked whether we could get the "Caravan" and the answer was "yes, not a problem as nobody booked it!"…Well, I did (because I wanted that specific one)! When the waitress came to take orders, she was insisting for me to give a credit card so that she wouldn't have to charge each member of the group each time. I was not happy with that first of all because we were a big group of people and not all friends so I don't feel I have to guarantee for all of them and secondly because I'm don't find secure at all to physically give my card to someone else. Those details are supposed to be securely stored at all time. Food was fine, cocktails were not really the best and an happy hour only till 20:00 on a Thursday does explain the almost empty place… Visited Barrio Angel on 2017-03-23

Great bar, really tasty cocktails, which take a while; however, totally worth the wait. The bar can get a little crowded but adds to the atmosphere! Good music, all kinds of music played!

Had a great night here for my birthday, staff were really good, only thing I would say we were at the back in the Cocktail Cabana and the fire exit was there so staff had to keep coming back and forth with ice and rubbish etc... not ideal, would be worth warning people of this in advance, but otherwise really good! Small and intimate! Visited Barrio Angel on 2016-12-10

I went here with a group of ten, even mix of boys and girls- the staff were brilliant; they looked after us so well and were extremely attentive. The bar is great fun and the fact that it stays open until 3am is a total result. Would deffo recommend. Visited Barrio Angel on 2016-04-23

Had an excellent experience here, groups of friends came down for a birthday night out. Happy hour is where its at, however mix up over bookings weren't great; but understandable, dance floor is very small but a great place to start your night off in.

I would give zero stars. The waitress said a drink would cost 7 pounds and then there was an 'extra' 1 pound on the receipt. Not sure why. We pointed it out and they said the waitress just got it wrong the first time (as if to say: 'Now suck it up'). The music was not as interesting as claimed on the website (just usual commercial stuff). And remember that if you don't want to pay the optional service charge you must clearly state it before you give them any money, as they simply 'don't do refunds'.

Been to this colourful paradise a few times now. Service is always on point and the cocktails are to die for. Would recommend 'Catch the Pigeon' it has loads of flavour!

I celebrated my birthday at Barrio North and can honestly say it was one of my best birthdays. I reserved the caravan which was ideal for having somewhere to sit and chat with friends and as a base for when we wanted to dance. The music was great and staff were really attentive especially when I arrived there were other people sat in the caravan who weren't part of the party. The staff were quick to explain the area had been reserved. Once sat down a member of the bar staff came over to take our drinks order which wasn't exoected but great! Thank you so much Barrio North! Would definitely recommend!

Had my birthday celebrations last weekend and it was a great night! Love the quirkiness of the bar, the location is great, the cocktails are delicious and the staff was lovely. We felt very well looked after, so many many thanks. If you are a big group get the Caravan booked in advance as it is the best space in Barrio. We were about 40 at some point, so it got a bit crowed, but for around 20 people should be fine. Definitely recommend this place for events, or even just a fun night out.

I went for my finacee's birthday with 15 friends and it was amazing! Every one of them had blast in Barrio and want to go back for sure. We made a reservation so we had our table ready when we arrived and had personal service for drinks and food the whole night. Can definetely recommend this place!

I had my goodbye party in Barrio North because I absolutely love Barrio East and was eager to explore its counterpart in Angel. Although a pre-drinks session kept my ability to recall small details by the time I got to the bar, I do remember the positive reaction of my friends when getting to the bar. I also remember there were two people sitting in our place and one of the hostesses kindly offered to ask them to leave. The music made me want to stay longer and the decoration and atmosphere was latin and hip at the same time. Loved the Barrios and would definitely recommend someone to celebrate a special event there :)

I had my birthday party in their caravan last week, and everything about it was fab - great music (a mix of pop and more atmospheric dance music), the staff were really helpful, and the music was amazing!

I booked a booth here for a large party of us and it didn't disappoint. Bar staff were helpful and lovely and the atmosphere is lively and fun. Also, we loved the music, we always do at a Barrio. Make sure you get there early for the happy hour! All round top night, highly recommend.

<p>Great cocktails, cracking staff and buzzing atmosphere, what more could you want from a place?! Prefer this branch to its central sister which can get over crowded. Barrio in Angel however ensures everyone has a good time with a great bunch behind the bar who create some damn good drinks at less then you'd expect prices. The atmosphere is fun even on a week night with a resident DJ playing everything you might expect and more. Definitely a place to remember in the area!</p>
