Hidden below LIMA CANTINA, El Bar brings Latin America's flair and fun to Covent Garden. From Mexico's mezcal and tequilas to Venezuela's award-winning rum, and Peru's signature pisco sours, we guarantee you won't leave thirsty.
El Bar serves the best spirits and mixology the continent has to offer, all accompanied by the sounds of Latin America. The food offering mirrors the vibrancy of Latin street culture, with playful "snacks del mercado" adding colour and flavour alongside the full LIMA CANTINA restaurant menu.
It's the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick drink and a bite or linger late into the evening. Open from noon until late, El Bar shifts effortlessly from an afternoon spot to unwind to a lively destination after dark. Whether you're meeting friends, exploring something new before dinner, or rounding off the night in style, El Bar promises atmosphere, originality and a touch of Latin soul in the heart of Covent Garden.
Every 1st Wednesday of the month from 7th January
