Bar eS Keswick in Allerdale

Friendly and professional staff. Service was outstanding, great timing of ordering to the dishes arriving at our table. Will definitely book again when visiting the area.

I take giving food a 10/10 very seriously... this was one of the easiest 10/10s I have ever given. Every dish was a winner! I would love to recommend something but just take your pick, its all class! Will be back again.

Good food and great fun atmosphere

Food and staff were both amazing.

Very friendly staff! The place was nice! Food was good for most part! The ribs were horrible, hurt my teeth real bad! Liked the quesadilla and tacos

Been here several times and to the Ambleside one and never disappoints. Delicious food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Dog friendly too which always helps when in the Lakes!

Food was out of this world. The meat balls and tacos were definitely my favourite along with the white peach sangria. Cannot wait to come back.

Lovely staff, great food, nice place

Not much atmosphere as it was pretty quiet but food and service were great.

Lovely food owner went above and beyond for me and my partner. Thanks mark appreciate it

Took our 9 month well behaved puppy labrador, excellent food, excellent atmosphere and friendly staff with quick service. Been several times before and our go to when we are in Keswick.

Delicious food, really friendly service and good vibes

Delicious food. Amazing evening!

As someone who has been to Keswick countless times, I can say without a doubt it is the best food in the whole of Keswick. All the food we ordered was amazing (especially beef chilli enchiladas and patatas bravas). We were served by Mariano who was attentive and friendly and there was another lady with a strong Australian accent (didn't catch her name, sorry!) who was so pleasant and smiley. Staff like this just make the entire dining experience x100 times better!

Great service, lovely food and atmosphere. Could not fault anything

5 of us ate here one Thursday evening during early November. Fortunately, I had pre-booked, and the restaurant was full. We had a range of 10 tapas dishes between us, which was plenty. Together with drinks, the bill was £135. The staff were friendly and welcoming, providing an excellent service and the food was very good. We prefer non chain establishments, and this certainly fits the criteria. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and quirky. It was a great place to visit.

As a Mexican American who grew up in eating Mexican food, I would say the food was great. We had the patatas bravas, potato wedges, chicken tacos and carnitas tacos. The chicken tacos were fine. Nothing special and nothing really wrong with them. 5.9/10. The star was the carnitas tacos. They had shredded pork, onions, pico de Gallo, guacamole, and two types of sauce. The pork was tasty and the carnitas had a nice crunch to it which helped with the texture and taste. Very good and I would recommend these to anyone. 8.2/10. It was a great night and I would go back in the future.

We sat outside and took advantage of the wall heater. Great variety of tapas that kept coming at a good pace, even though we’d been warned there might be a wait. Described as Mexican but the tapas were had more Spanish. Good selection of beers and wines too, and very friendly service.

Staff were brilliant, decor was decent , just found it a little cramped , very close to the next table . Tapas come out fast and cooked properly. Found the menu slightly limited, and have had better tapas. I Mediocre / decent from me 👍

Fairly good food but the customer service is more like a 3.5 not a 4.7. Go for the food.

Fantastic place, loved the character and quirkiness but most importantly the food was absolutley delicious. Service was really good and friendly, definatley a place we will visit again.

Great place to drink and eat. Food is fantastic. Generous tapas portions, 2-3 dishes will sort you out. Hard to select our favourite, but the enchiladas probably get our votes Friendly staff and great vibes.

Great food and service! Awesome selection to get the taste buds going

Lovely small tapas bar with great food and friendly staff

Drinks were wonderful. Atmosphere was lovely too!

Group of us very well looked after and excellent tapas food and friendly service. Small venue so book. Dogs allowed.

Very small bar and tapas restaurant. Been here without booking and 10pm was the first time I've been able to get in just for drinks, so booking is essential if you want food. Lovely staff and a nice selection of drinks.

Lovely little gem, we stayed on the weekend and came across this place. The food was so good and the service was great. I would come back here just for this place, margaritas are stunning too. If you are in the area definitely give this place a go!!

Fantastice food & staff, with a very good vegan menu.

Yummy food and margaritas. Maybe just turn up the thermostat upstairs on the heater. 🙏🏽

Delicious! Friendly and thoughtful service. Great music.

We popped here last week for one evening on our Honeymoon. The service and food was absolutely first class. We arrived early on without prior booking and were offered a seat downstairs but we were in no rush so told the girls we would have a drink at the bar whilst we waited. We were offered another table during our wait but we asked for the best on they had. We had 2/3 rounds of drinks downstairs whilst chatting to the girls doing the drinks which was lovely. We then went upstairs and enjoyed 7 of the best tapas dishes. The whole experience was wonderful so thanks for making it so special

Great food and fantastic service , highly recommend

Came for valentine's as we have passed many times and have always said "we should go there next time". Damn we wish we had sooner. Although it looks tiny and on a small street it's surprisingly big inside and it felt very cosy and inviting. The food was coma worthy very good tapas and the menu and choices are a good mixture of everything. Definitely stuffed after about 5-6 dishes between two, a good amount of food and very filling. Would definitely recommend the patatas Bravas, chorizo and meatballs. Service was good it was very busy and the staff were busy bringing food out but there was always someone available. Overall. We are gutted it's took us this long to actually eat here as we have clearly been missing out. Definitely hands down one of the best places to eat in Keswick and we will be coming back. Aaron + Keisha Saturday 6.30pm

Food was incredible , recommend the squid dish! Staff were lovely, felt homely and cosy. Decently priced for the food & had a great time

Excellent mex tapas, delicious plates and great vibe!

Very tasty, authentic tapas. Good atmosphere and service.

Nice decor, very friendly staff and good food and drinks. You can order various small tapas which were all delicious

Great food and atmosphere, highly recommend Chicken Tacos and Goat Cheese Quesadilla, delicious!

Fantastic little place,great service and even better food!

Great food, great drinks, great people!

We visited 2 years ago and loved it. Whilst we were in Keswick again recently, we had to visit again. The staff are great, very friendly and attentive. The food was even better than the first time we came, which I didn't think was possible! 4-5 plates for plenty for 2 people. It's easy to over order as there are so many great things to choose from. 🤣 If you're in Keswick, this place is a must!

The food had potential but was lacking in seasoning, dishes were nothing overly special but placed into tapas style containers. Service was good overall, but left feeling disappointed by food that wasn’t really Mexican or Spanish.

Small portion bar food served in tapas dishes. Confused about whether this is Mexican or Spanish style, ended up being neither. Underwhelming food, service was decent, slightly odd atmosphere.

A very tasty visit to Bar eS! I was too busy eating (and drinking) to take photos of the food, but it was delicious! Short ribs, quesadillas, patatas bravas, gambas, nachos, calamari, and drinks. We sat outside and they had a heater right above our table :D The servers were pleasant and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and well-stocked with all the necessities.

I'd heard about Bar eS online and it didn't disappoint. Food was brilliant, staff were so friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Superb! Absolutely tasty and filling tapas

Great bar for craft beers 🍻 Good landlord who takes care of his ales and customer needs.

Lovely food, great service and good vibes all round. Think this will be one of our 1st visits every time we come to Keswick. Loved it x

Great tapas restaurant, friendly staff, seperate vegan menu available, thoroughly enjoyed eating here

What a gem of a place! The food was absolutely fantastic, friendly staff and dog friendly! I was driving and our waitress suggested a low alcohol beer that was really nice. My wife had 2 cocktails that she said were delicious. We found it by accident and had an awesome time here, we'll definitely be back next time we're in the lakes! Loved it!

The service is the star here for me. The staff were super welcoming and attentive. The food was very nice with a diverse menu to choose from. The beer menu is also very good, especially for us craft ale fans. Overall, the food pricing is just creeping into 'expensive' territory, but this place is highly recommended for the quality of the food, drinks and service.

Went twice during our holiday. All the food was delicious (breaded jalapenos, bean enchilada, meatballs enchilada, chicken with chimichurri, patatas bravas, and chicken tacos), but only the meatballs had any real chilli kick. Friendly staff, very helpful but not oppressive, and a fantastic drinks menu. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would absolutely recommend it.

Really nice tapas, enjoyed them all. Bit disappointed that after 90 mins hen choosing a desert or cocktail we got told they needed our table back but we could go in the var downstairs for it. Which was basically shoved on the end of someone else's tables so we moved on. Costed then £30 for kicking us out early

Superb choice of beers, but some a little on the pricey side.

Great little restaurant. Always go here when in Keswick.

Fantastic place, staff were absolutely lovely, especially our server, unfortunately I can't remember her name, but Gee is on the receipt 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 the food was amazing, we had several tapas and honestly it's the best I've had yet, and the atmosphere was a nice and relaxed vibe, definitely will be visiting again when up in the area. Highly recommend ✨

The food was sooooo fresh and tasty. Highlight of our Lake District trip!! Highly recommending to anyone :-) guacamole was to die for 💚

Really lovely food and lovely staff.

A great find. The food was amazing, the location is great and the staff were a delight. Nice...

Cool decor, cosy atmosphere and absolutely delicious food. So good we came here twice in a week on our holiday. The staff are lovely too.

This is a fun place. It is not very big. The food was interesting and tasted fine. A bit spicy.

Great food, great staff great place xxx

Love coming here when we visit Keswick spot on service and great staff really friendly and helpful carnt wait till our next trip.

Always make a point of booking this restaurant when we come to Keswick or Ambleside, food is delicious, staff are friendly and professional and the price is reasonable. Will return.

Great food, excellent service, friendly staff!! Would highly recommend.

Great food. very friendly staff.

Loved this place! The choice of dishes, including vegan, was fantastic. Can't fault the quality of the food or service. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our meal at Bar eS. Good choice of Tapas which were all very tasty, plus a great selection of beers too. Good service and atmosphere too. We'd certainly go back when in Keswick.

Love going here when we go to keswick. Always busy but the food is that good it's definitely worth the wait

Couldn’t fault a single thing. Food was incredible, atmosphere was lovely and staff all great. Can’t wait to return!

We loved our weekday meal here great atmosphere and food,

We didn't book ahead which was a risk being such a popular restaurant however we were very lucky to arrive just as an street table came free. The waiting staff were without exception friendly, efficient and diner focused. As a result we had a lovely time. Food was tasty, plentiful and fast arriving. Each tapas was a dish in itself. I can't think of a negative. Rated low on atmosphere because we were outside. I can't say what the vibe inside the restaurant was like. Music that drifted out sounded great. Nice decor from what I saw. Enjoy your visit!

A cute bar, bar tender has recommended nice draught beer base on my preference. Very nice ! Highly recommended!

Six of us dined tonight and we were blown away with the quality and taste. Great beer and cider.

A great little restaurant with a chilled vibe. We were in at a bit of weird time so it wasn't busy and the waiting staff were downstairs most the time so we struggled with ordering more drinks or food. Still can't wait to return! For more tequila and yummy food

We absolutely loved this place. We came for food around 8.30 and it was rammed but the staff quickly got us a drink and found us a table right by the bar. Great atmosphere, good music, great beer and amazing food.

This place has definitely improved from a couple of years ago. The staff were very good and attentive. The food was tasty and it says on the menu what the gluten free options are. The nachos, meatballs and patatas bravas were good. However, the plates you are given to eat from are tiny! Like a saucer! So you can't really mix up the food, have to just eat one little thing at a time. It was very noisy upstairs though and it wasn't full. Had to shout to have a conversation with the person next to me. It does end up being quite expensive as it is recommended you have 2-3 dishes per person.

3rd time at bar es and as usual really nice food, really nice cocktails, decent friendly staff. reasonably priced.

Great food, great drinks, great staff and it's dog friendly.

Our only meal out in 6 days and what an excellent choice we made. Small establishment which made it very intimate and friendly staff. Slight initial problem in booking a reservation but all ended well. Thank you and we'll visit again in the future. Bye.

Lovely little place, food was gorgeous and cocktails were lovely too! Staff were so welcoming and friendly, I will definitely be back!

The service here is incredible. It felt like they took me under their wing and made sure that I knew all my vegan options and where else in town I could find them. The food was delicious, the atmosphere jubilant and cosy, and just fabulous service.

Lovely service, great food and a fun atmosphere

Definitely recommend this place the food is amazing, the staff are very friendly and great prices

Went two nights in a row whilst staying in Keswick, food, drinks and service were fantastic on both occasions. Easily the nicest tapas and tacos we've ever had!

Lovely food, great venue and friendly staff! Would definitely visit again.

Good food and friendly service make BarEs the best restaurant in Keswick in our opinion.

Wow, all I can say is wow, best tapas restaurant we have ever been to, and we have been to allot, the quality was excellent, my taste sensation was almost emotional, we definitely need to come back and tray the rest, Should be 7 start but I am limited to 5🤔 Staff and atmosphere also awesome.

We had a wonderful time at Bar eS. We fully expected to be rushed around because of the amount of young staff, but we couldn't have been more wrong! The staff were so lovely and helpful with our order and making suggestions on how many dished to have, and were very attentive to us the whole time. Delicious would be an understatement, the food was fantastic and the tequila is high quality. A perfect tapas experience throughout. The padron peppers, nachos and patatas bravas are essential and tasty! Avoid disappointment by booking a table as it is very popular! We will definitely be returning next time we come to Keswick, thank you!

This is the best place I have ever eaten at. They were fully aware of gluten free and were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Everything we ate was wonderful the drinks were great. You have to book but that's not a problem as they have a website. We will definitely be going there again anytime we are close. If you are in Keswick you have to go here. Book a table and have the best food and drink. It was wonderful.

Had a fabulous meal here last night. Food was delicious with loads of choice with generous portions. Service was excellent. Would definitely recommend a visit

If you are thinking about coming here you won't be disappointed, the food and service is amazing and staff are very attentive and helpful. The best place we have ever been to. 5/5. Recommend the beef enchiladas and cocktails.

I don’t usually leave a review, however we were so impressed with this restaurant. We came on a busy Saturday evening, so the atmosphere was great. The mezcal margarita was incredible - I had 3. There was plenty of choice on the menu without being too overwhelming and fairly priced. The staff were hands down some of the most attentive and friendly we have encountered in a long time. Overall we had a fantastic evening and would highly recommended to couples and families and solo travelers alike.

Served by a lovely smiley waitress Niamh. Added to the whole experience. Amazing food!!

Great food, great beer, great ambience. Highly recommend.

The food is amazing, so tasty. Staff are friendly. We will definitely come back!!

We have been a few times when on holiday in Keswick. We went yesterday (Sunday 9th Dec 2018) and had a really great meal, a fantastic selection of vegan tapas dishes. We went back today (Monday 10th December) and again we enjoyed a really good meal. The waitress was very helpful and made sure that we enjoyed our visit. We will be back everytime we visit Keswick. We chose vegan tapas, but others in the bar had meat dishes and it is clear this bar has food for everyone. We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere with good background music. We were back on 22nd December 2023 and it was still a great place. Great service and food.

Food was amazing beer was decent ok ISH not the best of the high end crafts was pricey beer too but cost of living hits hard

Tasty and creative tapas served in an intimate yet fairly vibrant restaurant. Good wine choices. Would've loved to have stayed longer but two very loud speaking Outdoor Gear Sales Reps came and sat on the end of our table and completely drowned our quiet conversation.
