Blues Restaurant & Bar in Harrow - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went with my family. Lovely little bar and restaurant, we are quite the regulars! Ambience beautiful, food great! There were 6 adults and 2 children. As we were leaving a wonderful Evening we experienced something horrible,a couple with their daughter were being offensive and covering their ears as we were leaving . The exchange of words were horrible! It was horrible racist behaviour.we told the staff they didn't do much as management wasn't around. These people should be banned, if they cannot accept diversity in the world,let alone harrow.

As always, I had a great time at lunch with a friend. Eighty-Six is one of my favourite places to eat be it lunch or dinner. Great vibe, lovely food and wonderful service - thank you Mo. Always a pleasure to dine here. I would recommend it.

86 is such a wonderful place to have a meal. Lunch or dinner food is always lush. We had the most wonderful dinner on New year's eve. Loved the jazz band and food came flowing all night. Highly recommend this restaurant.

As usual, smooth and elegant as ever. Service was excellent. Food was even better. Highly recommend.

Eightysix go above and beyond, goodness me. They were incredibly accommodating for a very last minute baby shower and we all had the best time. They rearranged the front of the restaurant for exactly what we needed, space to mingle, space to eat, space for a couple kids to be silly. They helped us decorate the gorgeous venue and made sure everyone had enough to eat and drink. The tapas were so delicious and the pizzas were divine. I can’t believe they put this together in a matter of days for us and I couldn’t be happier with the result. All the staff could not be nicer, so friendly and so accommodating. Would most definitely recommend and will certainly be visiting again. Thank you a million times for everything you did for us!

We visited July 2023 table for 4. We sat outside, table was very dirty. Ordered drinks. Peroni was most definitely watered down. The owner then proceeded to hard sell the higher end priced mixed kebab grill £24.95. We didn't succumb. Starters salad alone £10 a tomato 3 bits of mozzarella and 1/4 avocado. Two frozen pizzas, burger and lamb kebab tough as old boots, chewy and grisly. We had 2 draught beer 3 bottles, a double JD & coke and 2 non-alcoholic drinks. Total £163. Here is the problem with this business model. Poor product, the owner then puts his prices up beyond the quality of the restaurant because he is not getting enough trade, which causes him to get even less clients and this downward spiral continues until he goes bust. I’ve seen this happen often with eating establishments.

Fantastic food, excellent service and lots of variety. If you like Spanish food this is a good place to visit and the price-quality ratio is really good

We went as a large group of 15 (10 Adults 5 Children). We had an excellent evening. The food was great. The drinks were great. The service was brilliant, I cannot remember the waitresses name but I believe she’s half American - she was really super. It was a Christmas Holiday family get together so we were really looking forward to it. All in all a super evening. Thank you!

This is a really pleasant restaurant with a decent selection of good filling food AB’s excellent friendly service. Will definitely be back, thanks

Popped in here for lunch without booking and had a lovely lunch. Had tapas for starters and a really tasty burger for our main. Service, food, atmosphere and venue were all excellent. Would highly recommend.

Popped in here to take a look. We will most definitely return. Tapas food was outstanding, service was exemplary.

The food and service was excellent here. Really love the Tapas style - you don't get much of that around here. Will definitely be going back.

We visited this place for my husbands birthday after reading a few reviews online and it was brilliant. What a beautiful gem of a place. The food was exceptional and the service was so great. The staff couldn’t do more for you. Fully traditional Spanish tapas, we ordered quite a few different ones to try but they were all worth it. Highly recommend.

Efficient and friendly service. Food tasted amazing and interior of the restaurant is beautiful. We ordered pizza, chicken caesar salad and paella which came in big portions and was freshly made. Family friendly and i highly recommend to anyone looking for a restaurant that has a nice interior and tasty food.

First time at this restaurant on New Years Eve - very impressed. Friendly service, delicious food and fab cocktails. Highly recommend. We will be back !

Visited this gem over the weekend and absolutely loved it. Booked for a party of 8. Was seated promptly as we arrived by a lovely waitress and was given menus promptly. We ordered cocktails and I must say they were fabulous, especially the pornstar martini. The food was delicious. We ordered tapas for starters for the table and I had the seabass for main course which was lovely. Overall had a great experience and will definitely be back. Deffo worth visiting.

My friend and I were long overdue a catch up and so we decided to try this place for about 3:30pm in the afternoon. Reservation was made and the place was quiet when we got there. Food and drinks selection was awesome! As was the service until we were told quite rudely the table was needed for 8:30pm. Unsure if that was true as we didn’t see anyone turn up whilst we waited for a cab after 8:30pm outside the restaurant. Shame really. I would go back though. Just a shame that one guy let the place down.

Amazing food and service ! Cristina and Sonbul were very attentive and nice! The portions of food are very big! Ordered more than I could eat! Amazing wine list! Music is definitely a vibe. Had a very lovely time and can’t wait to try more dishes and wine x thank you girls for looking after us and thanks to the chefs for an amazing experience!

Excellent starter/side of warm fresh bread and oil and vinegar. Chicken and lamb grills were perfect, with a nice salad and excellent dressing. Nice shady spot under the gazebo on a hot day..

I book a table there Friday evening it was quite busy but the staff it was very friendly and they give us an excellent service,the food was amazing especially 86 burger and tapas! Very warm environment and the heated garden it was what we needed because it was quite cold this day!It values to go eat there!

Visited this restaurant after being recommended by a friend. Booked in advance and was told that we only have the table for 1.5 hours which is totally understandable during these times. Most, if not all, restaurants operate on the same policy given their lack of space. We ordered some tapas and a seafood paella to share as well some cocktails and everything was perfect and delicious. The Bubblegum cocktail was my favourite! The service and staff were brilliant start to finish and I can see why this little gem in Harrow on the hill is sought after. Will defo be returning!

I first went to this lovely restaurant in August 2020 but have been back several times since!Great Tapas and awesome cocktails! My favourite is the Lychee martini!I have had the Paella, meatballs, garlic prawns, Battered prawnschicken wings, peppers and Desert Doughnut bites to name a few! All delicious!It’s also a very cool place for drinks in the evening or alfresco dining in the cute courtyard on a warm summers evening!I definitely recommend!

If I could give this place 0 I would! Booked and received confirmation only to show up to the restaurant and have them insist they contacted me to cancel. Absolute lies! Not apologetic at all - could quite clearly see they had probably received a larger group booking and bumped me! Disgraceful.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was ok, mostly very average for the price. I appreciate the pñace was never meant to have a "terrace" or be an outdoor restaurant, so i forgive the slight shabbiness of the "terrace". What ruined the entire meal was the state of the furniture. Rattan and glass tables that were filthy, you could see all the dried, ingrained food and dirt. Its very hard to enjoy a meal like that. Won't be returning.

Love all the tasty freshly cooked food here. They are always very friendly and welcoming. Eaten all our pizza and delicious churos. The best ever 😋. Thoroughly enjoyed the ginger, fresh mint cinnamon and honey herbal tea. Shakila & Midge

Decent place for food and drinks.

Do not go to this restaurant Booked a table for family of four for my birthday dinner on Saturday 3rd October at 6.15 pm... upon arriving was told by the waitress they needed the table back by 7.30pm!!!1 hour 15 mins for a family of four to eat dinner with drinks !!! And the staff/manager came and pressured us when it got to 7.30pm ! We were not the only customers complaining about this on the evening ... they were obviously double booked for most of the evening... big queue of people outside at 7.40pm when we eventually left ...all of whom had also booked ....Really disappointing for a special birthday dinner with all the family - felt rushed by the staff for the whole hour 25 mins we were there - will not be going back ever again.

Had a good experience at eighty six restaurant!All staff looked after me very well especially amir and sonbul as they consistently made sure I had everything I needed. Food is very enjoyable, would highly recommend getting any tapas starter as you will not be disappointed. The whole restaurant has a nice ambience, i would say it gets busy around 6:30 onwards which I like however if you would like a more quiet experience I would recommend going before 5.

Four of us went to EightySix on Tuesday and again last night (Saturday).We absolutely love this place.The grills, the tapas, the cocktails, the ambience amazing...but the staff were exceptional...they are so friendly, so polite. Would recommend EightySix to anyone who loves food and those that enjoy a cheeky cocktail or two . It’s family friendly too.Outdoor seating at the back. We’ll be back for sure.

We normally eat in at Bar Eighty Six but decided to try their pizza delivery. It was excellent. Very easy to order and it arrived piping hot and was delicious!

Great service and atmosphere, Good food and cocktails..... well worth a visit and if it is warm it’s great outside....

Invited for a friends party on a Saturday night, as you enter, it seems quite small, but was led to the back, and down the stairs to a big outdoor area with plenty of tables and chairs with large parasols. Great service by friendly staff. It started raining heavily and I didnt want to go inside as it was crowded, staff brought out plenty of parasols, so we stayed dry despite the pouring rain. Great night out after lockdown, even the rain didn't dampen us as we sat under the parasols.catching up with friends.Will def go back again as I love Harrow on the Hill with all its historical buildings

Firstly, it's in a great location. Right on the top of the hill by the square. Beautiful corner restaurant with big glass windows, it lures you in. If you were just wanting a drink, the bar was stocked with the best. Literally anything you could possibly want whatever your tipple. We'll definitely be heading back for a cocktail night soon, But we were there to eat so were lead through the bar area to the back restaurant. It felt so intimate and cosy. The music was at a perfect setting. The lighting was perfect. Just a lovely vibe. To top it off the food did not disappoint. It was by far 10/10 across the board. I had various tapas dishes (gambas were exceptional) the fresh salsa was delicious. My fiance had the mixed grill, he said it was some of the best lamb he's ever had. Which is saying something cos he knows his lamb was such a generous portion too it came with a massive side salad with all the trimmings and fries. Staff were lovely. Finished with a coffee and an extra touch was the fact they offered a fruit dessert which is great if you're trying to be "good". Really such a lovely evening, our first out since Covid and was a memorable one for sure. We will be visiting again!

Have been going to this beautiful restaurant for long time but always forget to leave a nice review as they deserve.The kebabs are amazing and the fish is really fresh and tasty. I can’t describe the desert in that’s place. You have to try yourself .The price are reasonable considering the high quality of the food. The service is great and the staff really cares about their guests.

Should have booked in advance so we were keeping everything crossed while deciding to visit Eighty Six. We were tired, hungry and thirsty! Thankfully they were very accomodating and gave us a table for four in the outdoor seating area and as always the portion and taste of the food was amazing and everyone enjoyed their drinks- results! Highly recommend and a lovely service too.

I visited this restaurant for the first time with my family the place was clean, spectacular decoration nice seating outside with a friendly vibe. It was very busy however the waitress was attentive and friendly Food was delicious couldn’t find any fault. Would highly recommend this place to all! Will be visiting here again. Thanks

First venture out since the lockdown. They have put in quite a lot of COVID measures with tables spaced out, the bar covered in Perspex and sanitiser station. Given the place is quite small this all to be expected and reassuring.Staff as always were exceptional, service is second to none. Food was its usual high standard with tapas being fresh and tasty.Hopefully people will come out and support such a great local spot.

Miserable management. Soulless. Disinterested staff. I mean why bother going? Lol If you visit The Grove or Kingsfield Arms for example they welcome you with a huge smile and want your business. Compared to this place which always has a dark negative cloud descending on it..

This place is epic and set in the heart of Harrow on the Hill A must for the cocktail lover! The food is fresh and ever so tasty

This is such a quint establishment in the heart of prestigious Harrow on the Hill.Never seen a place full of happy people enjoying themselves.The staff is very welcoming,friendly and bonafide.Great cocktails & Tapas Menu which satisfy all pallets.Keep up the fabulous work and this will be regular place of attendance for me and my friends.Namaste

Great Spanish tapas and friendly staff. They also have a cocktail bar.

Have been to this restaurant many times and each time had lovely food and super service- most recently visited Tuesday for special birthday meal with large group of friends and family - changed booking a few times - but no problem for them - staff were always very helpful and professional - compliments to chef as tapas food jst as good as in Spain as are wines and cocktails - all staff extremely helpful and professional - all friends and family would definitely recommend and be back for another visit - atmosphere very relaxed and welcoming too - great restaurant.

Visited this restaurant last Saturday night with friends and it was great. Amazing service, food, drinks and atmosphere. Thank you!! Will definitely be back.

Super friendly staff, great food whether tapas or a main meal, presentation and service superb, good value too.

We were here for a couple of hours. We all ate and had a number of different cocktails. My food was ok but I think I would try something else if I visited again. The cocktails were really nice as was the dessert.

had the best meal. portions were generous, quality of the food was high and service was brilliant. will be coming again

The staff are always very polite and friendly. Beers, cocktails and food are all great. The coffee (Illy) is fab as well. You can choose between the people friendly bar, intimate restaurant or outside patio area to drink or dine. It is a place where if your looking for hospitality or a quite place to sit on your own, this is it. And the locals are very friendly.

If I’m honest, having worked in this industry, this place is above average for the hill, it’s not expensive, the staff are very professional ( possibly extra fine adjustments could be made) and what makes all of you plebs expert on how to run a business such as a restaurant and bar? If you don’t like it just don’t go back! How would you like it if any donkey started assessing your daily work performance, get off this dull website and do something productive!Name supplied

We booked a private area in this restaurant to celebrate our daughters 30th birthday with a group of 20 family and friends. We had pre-ordered a tapas buffet and this was served to us in a very friendly and professional manner, the food itself was amazing and everyone was going back for more! The whole team were on hand to help us, even with the decorations on arrival, and they went out of their way to ensure that everyone was happy. The restaurant itself is in the perfect location with stunning views over Harrow. I would strongly recommend a visit here and we will be returning in the very near future.

The place has an airy bright feeling and a very cozy atmosphere of a lovely local cocktail bar and restaurant in the beautiful picturesque setting of Harrow on The Hill with a fabulous vista from the bar of the Green. The staff are always very polite and friendly. Beers, cocktails and food are all great. The coffee (Illy) is fab as well. You can choose between the people friendly bar, intimate restaurant or outside patio area to drink or dine. It is a place where if your looking for hospitality or a quite place to sit on your own, this is it. And the locals are very friendly.

Great cocktails and excellent tapas. I will be going back again soon!

I’ve been here before and they always seen to run out of sea bass but on this occasion was not the case which was great! I love the tapas options which I ended up getting with friends as the whole meal before but they also have main options to choose from but they are limited for a non meat eater like myself, but this is not a problem for me. I will definitely return. I love that it is nice and local. Only wish they took Amex...

Good food , service and atmosphere. Would recommend for couples and smaller groups.

Beautiful setting in the heart of Harrow on the Hill! The mix of Spanish tapas & Mediterranean cuisine is to die for. Elegant and classy cocktail bar also. Will definitely be coming back!

Me and my partner have been coming to this restaurant since it was called “Blues”. Food was great then and is still great now. Restaurant recently underwent a huge refurb and name change (same owners). The refurb has made a huge difference. Whoever’s idea that was was a genius. Very classy, yet modern. Excellent for a date night. Staff are always attentive also. Can’t sing this restaurants praises enough. Highly recommend.

We met with our children to celebrate my husband's birthday. Sam was an attentive, unhurried waiter and a credit to the business. The food was plentiful, well presented and tasted delicious. We would certainly recommend for a relaxing, enjoyable meal. Thank you for the additional touch of candles on the cake, it made an 'old man' happy.

Sonbul looked after us she made our night very personal and perfect she deserves a pay rise or recognition for her actions for taking extra care that she didn’t have to do

It was a really good choice to have lunch at Eighty-six restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious. Service is excellent, friendly and polite staff ready to help you and make you feel comfortable.

Our offices are just up the road from this place and we often used to phone, order food and then collect it. Serious money for them. However, since they re-branded, a colleague of mine has been in TWELVE times to ask for a lunch/take away menu to keep in the office. Every single time, they said, "we will make a copy for you and it will be ready tomorrow." Eventually he gave up and, as a result, they no longer get all that lunchtime business. Their loss.

Family run and you can feel that they put a lots of love and friendship into everything they serve. It’s good people doing good things , come along and enjoy.

We held my wife's 60th Birthday party at the Eighty Six Restaurant and Bar on Saturday 23rd March and it was a really fantastic experience. There were approximately 60 people at the party and Sam managed everything very professionally . The bar staff were plentiful , helpful and mixed some wicked cocktails. The tapas style food was very good and the sound system is a very high quality. For a party on the Hill it's a really great choice.

We pre booked for a group of 7 for Sunday lunch.

I would highly recommend this place. The food is simple yet fresh and delicious and what seems to be rare is the genuine friendliness of the team here. Nothing is too much trouble and all served up with nothing but genuine care of the service they provide.

My first time here on a Sunday afternoon and it was lovely. Really tasty, fresh tapas, the potato bravas were extremely delicious. They also offered a chicken roast dinner which was huge, we took half of the chicken away with us! Lovely staff, great scenery up at the boys school and we will definitely be returning.

Best Croquettas I have tasted outside Spain!! At last somewhere on The Hill with good food!

Second visit here and absolutely love it ..

Came out with family and friends over the weekend. this place didn't disappoint.

1st visit after the renovation and was not disappointed. Great food and drinks. Staff were very friendly and service was excellent. Tapas as good as before and burgers was excellent. Will be back for sure.

Visited this little gem on harrow on the hill again on the weekend and had a fabulous night. Very friendly, professional staff who went the extra mile to make sure we were ok. our waiter sam who served us through the night made sure everything was spot on. The food was excellent , started with tapas which never disappoints us had the grill lamb and chicken for mains which was succulent and mouthwatering. had a good selection of cocktails and whisky. love it will definitely coming back soon.

This bar has been open for a few years. Previously, it was ‘Blues’ it is now rebadged as ‘eighty six’ .. I have visited this place half a dozen times hoping it will improve.

Booked a table for a friends reunion and we were not disappointed. Loved the cocktails and I had delicious tapas! The staff were very attentive and offered a great service. We will come back for more!

Went here on my birthday with my family aged 10 to 18. Lively atomosphere with almost all table filled. Was a very busy evening so service was a bit slow compared to other times I have been.

Good food and ambience as usual. Last attended when it was Blues Restaurant so was surprised the name had changed and it has undergone refurbishment...looks Fab now.

Fantastic place. Love the food and the cocktails. Near home . Lovely on a Friday evening after a long week. Stumbled across this place about 6 weeks ago and been back about 5 times already. I would say the only thing missing from menu is ribs. Well that’s just me love them when cooked great. Fab staff also. Thank you.

The setting and decor is lovely, and the staff were nice enough, but we waited more than 15 minutes to get the drinks we ordered and a full hour for our meal to arrive. If you are going to wait that long for a meal it had better be awesome. It was ok, but nothing special. Would have been nice to have had another place on the hill to go to, but chances are I won't go back.

With a group of friends I went to this bar... they immediately made arrangements to seat a large number of us which was brilliant however the service was slow and I waited 15 mins for a cocktail at one point. Lovely, friendly table waitress. The senior staff were difficult about splitting payment and it didn’t come across well. It’s a shame that even late on a Sunday night 5 members of staff couldn’t cope with serving more than 10 customers...

Having lived in Harrow all my life, it is refreshing to have a bar/restaurant refurbished to an exceptionally high standard on my doorstep. Wonderful food and reasonable prices, a cool crowd and a great garden for the hot summer days. The staff are super friendly, and will go out of their ways to ensure you have a good experience.

I've enjoyed many meals here before (under last 2 names this place has had recently) but will never get food delivered from here again. For over ten quid the pizza they delivered was hand sized ( see pics) and my lamb skewer (12 quid) had 6 small cubes of lamb and an average to poor salad and missing any sign of aoli sauce. The Pasta portion my wife had was fine. Considering they don't need to wait on us or wash our dishes thanks to deliveroo they can afford to be more generous with portions than eating-in not the other way around. Stop redecorating your bar repeatedly and get the basics right first please.

After visiting last year I returned this year as I was in the area. They have completely transformed this place into a beautiful modern restaurant/bar.

Totally refurbished and refitted to an excellent standard. Much clearer definition between the bar and restaurant areas , bar stools and high tables in the front with lively atmosphere and light airy feel. Cozy and more intimate restaurant at the rear with access to a spacious garden.

Excellent local place all round! Very pleased all round

Delicious food and very kind stuff! I had my enjoy time there! Thanks

Coffee was good but someone working there, I think the manager, spent the whole time holding a rather loud telephone conversation.

Fantastic range of delicious and mouth watering food, visited a few times now and the quality of food and service has been very consistent. Staff are very welcoming and attentive! Definitely recommend for intimate get togethers!

I loved this hidden gem, me and my friends went for a work do and we loved the atmosphere and food, THE PRAWNS were our favourite... I will be visit again with my boyfriend. I love these local small authentic spanish restaurants and highly recommend. Don't drink much Alcohol but their Cocktails are amazzzzzzzzing and accommodated to my needs.

Ottimo ristorante con piatti spagnoli

This is the best restaurant in here I go always with my family here and have a nice Spanish food good outdoor seating I recommend it

We had an ok meal here. Some elements better than others. Found the chicken paella not very exciting and at £14 for rice with tiny pieces of chicken wasn't great value. However a fun place for drinks and snacks.

Very friendly staff and great food. Will recommend. Ordered the tapas platter with some merlot. Perfect amount for 2. Don’t over order. I was about to order paella as well but would’ve been too much!

This lovely little restaurant tucked away on the hill has a really chilled atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and mix a fantastic cocktail. They also have a very nice wine selection at reasonable prices. The food is great, lots to choose from and everything equally delicious from the tapas selection. I am yet to try anything else but the Paella looks very good and I have informed by a regular customer that the garlic bread is the best around! I visited last weekend when they had some live music going on. The music wasn't quite to my taste (maybe think about introducing some traditional Spanish music) however there was a good vibe in the place. This bar is a great place to visit in the summer as it has a very charming hidden court yard out the back which I was very pleasantly surprised to stumble across one warm evening! I would highly recommend a visit as there is nothing like it within the local area.

Superb Flavours, lovely for Men,Women and Children, on theHarrow-on-the Hill; what an achievement indeed

I have tried this at 11.30pm and it was the only bar in this part of harrow on the hill which would let us in. The owner was willing to keep the bar open past 1am if enough people were there. Drinks are expensive though and never tried the food. Nice atmosphere.

Love this place! I go here fairly regularly, great cocktails and super friendly staff and yummy food. It’s a hidden gem! Good coffee in the daytime too, they usually have lunchtime deals on and also we’ve used the entire place for parties before and staff have been really helpful and amenable. Only have good things to say!

The best Tapas ever - try the meatballs, the tortilla, the prawns, the chicken, the chorizo - and the churros - all of it exquisite

We hadn't been to Blues for years but we decided to try it again this weekend and were very pleasantly surprised. The staff were welcoming & fun, the tapas was lovely (I want to go back and try all the dishes we didn't have this time round) and there was a live band on playing jazz/funk/soul who apparently will be appearing at the end of each month now.

We visited Blues for the first time yesterday for a late lunch and will definitely be back. We had the paella for two and a bottle of house white followed by an espresso martini. The paella was as good as any we've had in Spain and the restaurant is light and airy with really friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to go back and try the tapas.

Awsome place for Spanish food. They also have a great wine menu with cocktails too!

Top rate food and service from the young lady behind the bar who did a great job while short staffed on the day we visited.

Great place, relaxed, food service and lovely food.
