Bar 61 Restaurant - London

The growing opulence of South London has stretched to "trendy' streatham with new, high cost esseries, among which is this tapas bar with many backend sessions this place is gorgeous. great atmosphere, excellent (and charming) service and fantastic eating. I can't speak for the a la carte menu (yes,) but the tapas is very good, and the waiter has suggested how many dishes were enough so that we don't get over. by the way, timeout is correct that the ratatouille is a steh dish. also the sardines are highly recommended. garlic mushrooms were seasoned by solid portobello, properly baked, pimentos pardon tender with garlic, both the patatas bravas ad chorizo were plentiful cut for all plundering in the tapas, the salat was unexplainably flat, properly cooled, but not much more, and the patatas mutes lacked any seasoning in tomato sauce... also good value, with tapas for two and a bottle of wine come to £60, which is quite respectable by london prizes and worth every penny.

Very nice place to eat ,warm welcome at the front door and once your inside you are made to feel at home , the food is good the wine is fantastic and the atmosphere in general is happy and cozy.

Great Friendly Local Bar Bistro. Very friendly family run Bar that is a bit of a local institution in Streatham Hill, offering 2 experiences, a quiet restaurant area at the rear serving well priced Bistro type food combined with a friendly attentive service with a more lively Bar area at the front serving a good selection of Tapas and snacks. Surprising for the area it has a phenomenally well stocked bar that would not be out of place in Soho, it caters for all tastes, from house whites to Cristal, Bells to Johnny Walker Blue in addition to a good selection of Bourbons, Brandies and premium Vodkas. It also serves some of the best Coffee in South London. It's slightly faded and eclectic interior decor could probably do with a little updating however it gives it a funny sort of charm. If you are looking for a friendly unpretentious local bar bistro then you can't go far wrong.

Living near the area, we were intrigued by the great reviews of Bar 61, so we decided that we should give it a try and we were not disappointed. The tapas were delicious and good price quality but most of all the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming and the service was really excellent. This may be my first restaurant review on the site, but it is because I feel it is deserved! We will be back!

Went here out of curiosity after seeing the high postion on Tripadvisor and wasn't disappointed I visited with a friend from work and was warmly welcome on arrival by the barman who asked if we would like to sit at the bar or would we like a table,We opted for the bar and order two beers from a wide choice on offer ,The restaurant started to fill up over the course of the evening and as we started to fill a bit peckish ourselves with asked for a menu in which we ordered a variety of different tapas dishes from All the food came in good time and was served in generous portions all tasting freshly cooked Our waiter was very attentive always checking if everything was fine with our food and if we required futher drinks etc Overall a delightful experience which we would highly recommend this to anybody who wants a nice drink or meal at very reasonable prices within a friendly relaxed environment
