Bradley's Spanish Bar in City of London, Westminster

So glad I found this little bar just off Oxford Street. Felt like being in a typical dark Spanish Tapas Bar on a sunny day. Lots of Spanish beers on the taps as well as a few craft beers and Guiness of course. An old authentic juke boz with 60s/70s/80s vinyls plays 3 songs for £1. Definitely a place I will be returning.

Nice, divey atmosphere, but a bit pricey considering

Still the best pub in the West End

Best Pub in Soho! When you’re there they treat you right!

Love Bradleys. Hasn't changed, doesn't need to

The bar is Spanish because of the signs. The music is from a record player and it's all English :)

Stopped here to meet friends. Really nice old pub. We sat downstairs which is a quirky place, had a few pints of Guinness,which I would recommend. Small pub but full of charm. We will be back!!

Arrived just after opening time and already busy. Great barman and friendly clientele. Downstairs bar and would definitely recommend.

Very unkind staff. All long faces. The place smells like urine. At least you can drink outside, which is illegal but you don't have to put up with the smell.

Perfect pub for the banter squad 🔥👍🏻⚡⚡

Spent a couple of hours there before a concert, fairly busy but good atmosphere, very friendly staff and not a bad pint of Guinness

You want Estrella or... Estrella?

Look. They saved my soul that day

Only stopped in for a pint. Upstairs was shut but quaint little bar downstairs. Irish barman welcoming as were the few locals that almost filled the place.

I recently visited Bradley's Spanish Bar in London and was absolutely charmed by the experience. The ambiance of the bar is stunningly beautiful. What really stood out was the exceptional service provided by a young lady who was not only sweet but also incredibly attentive. The highlight of Bradley's is their amazing jukebox. It boasts an excellent selection of records, setting a delightful and unique atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere. This feature alone makes the bar a must-visit spot for music lovers. Moreover, the cozy and pleasant environment of the bar made our evening truly memorable. It's a great place to unwind after a long day or to enjoy a relaxed night out with friends. Bradley's Spanish Bar is a five-star experience in every aspect, and I can't wait to return for another delightful evening. Highly recommended!

Cooler Pub sehr urig/gemütlich es gibt über all an den Wänden interessante datails zu sehen und die Jukebox rundet been Flair super ab und bringt gute Stimmung. Personal ist sehr nett gewesen.

Lively place, to put into context it is a very small venue and 22 of us arrived. As we were attempting to get down the stairs the barman attending downstairs shouted at group to not stand on stairs due to fire risk. Get its a fire risk but to shout it 3 times when we're just attempting to get down is rude As its such a small place headed outside to have a smoke, attempted to make small talk with the doorman and asked why such a small place would need a doorman. Response was "none of your business, up to the venue" If its dead quiet I'd recommend but if its semi busy would avoid like the plague unless claustrophobia is your thing

Proper little gem of a pub nestled in a little street just off Oxford Street. The upstairs bar is better as the downstairs one stinks of the toilets (which is the reason for the 4 star rating) otherwise it'd get full marks. Seating upstairs is very limited but if you can get a seat then sit back and enjoy the free old jukebox and try some of the rare beers on offer. My favourite was the black Budweiser Budvar. Never seen it on sale anywhere but here. Staff are friendly and welcoming. After work it gets very busy and mist chose to stand outside.

Finally made it to Bradley’s. My darling daughter and I went on Saturday. Got there 4.30pm. I’d read the reviews. It sounded the sort of place I’d like. I didn’t like it. I loved it. Characters all around. Budvar dark. Great jukebox. We sang. We danced (when space allowed) Bar staff excellent. Especially the guy with the nose ring. Thank you Bradley’s, and your customers for making it a great start to our Christmas festivities. We shall return 👍

Just a great bunch of guys and girls.

I always pop by Bradley's when I'm visiting London. Such a great little boozer just off Oxford Steet, away from the hustle and bustle. It's a nice spot to people watch. Hanyway Street seems to be a little rat-run for the cabs/other cars, and always makes an entertaining watch when seeing some of them scratch those alloy wheels... Service is always polite and the punters are a good bunch. A real London institution indeed.

Just had a couple of drinks and if that's all you're looking for it's not a terrible place but it definitely needs some maintenance and cleaning. If I was in the area and wanted a drink I wouldn't mind stopping in again

Nos tomamos una estrella galicia buenisima pero el ambiente no era muy animado…

My all time favourite pub in central London and I’m not just saying this out of my love of Spanish beer. This quaint little pub for me represents the pub culture of a bustling city, it’s full of locals and isn’t trying to raise eyebrows. The price of beer here or neat spirits is fair here and the service is always given with a smile. This place isn’t trying too hard to seem edgy it just has a naturally warm charm about it and is easily missed but if you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth visiting even if it means standing outside for the vibe this pub radiates.

Fantastic busy old pub in london. Friendly staff ❤️

Been frequenting this bar sporadically since the late 1970s. It remains largely unchanged which in itself is a marvel these days anywhere! Unfortunately that includes the ladies loo that's gross with an almost open soil pipe 😕

Sadly my experience here on a Saturday afternoon did not live up to the expectations from the other reviews. The staff member in the downstairs bar is possibly the grumpiest and rudest person I've encountered in a pub! He seemed to search for any opportunity to complain about something... where we were sitting, how we weren't buying enough drinks etc etc. His rationale was "the need to keep the lights on" but his tone was pretty unacceptable so we all left earlier than planned. If he'd asked us to get a few more drinks with a bit more positivity I think we would have as we'd have actually felt welcome. Unfortunately, it seemed like he'd got out the wrong side of his bed and didn't want to be there himself. Overall, I won't be coming back here and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

Great little pub! Love the decor. Hidden gem!

Decent pint and the jukebox with the great Playlist 👍🏻👍🏻

A snug and friendly escape from the chaos of Oxford St... Which is just yards away. A vintage jukebox provides the tunes. Has always delivered a warm welcome

De l'ambiance, un personnel sympathique, un décor intéressant. Tout dans ce pub concourt à passer un bon moment.

Great little place of Oxford Street, free jukebox at times, very friendly staff.

Really cool little bar just off of Oxford Street. The beer wasn't the best, but the bar more than made up for it.

Cosy wee pub right in the thick of it - famous jukebox deserves respect

Iconic venue off Oxford Street. Seating at a premium. Good range of lagers, less options for ales.

Great bar in the center of London

Good little pub. It is small, a bit more room downstairs. Always a good atmosphere.

A bit of a classic - encouraging to see it's still going, though didn't spot the jukebox any more. Budvar dark on tap is a win.

Great little whole in the wall.

I love this little island of happiness!!

Best old school pub in Central London!

The guy at the downstairs is super great. So engaging and fun. Might be a reason why people like to stay downstairs. I got a chance to meet people from different countries. I would recommend the place to anyone.

Aitoa englantilaista pubitunnelmaa espanjalaisella lisämausteella.Yläkerta pieni mutta tunnelmallinen Alakerrassa en käynyt, mutta oppaan mukaan siellä enemmän tilaa ja mahdollisesti musiikkia livenä

Watched the all Ireland final here, special memory, special bar, great clientele and great bar staff! Guinness is the best in Soho. Erin Go Bragh.

Classic pub experience just off Oxford St. Staff make you feel at home and you end up talking to lots of people from all over the world

Love friendly bar... Good selection of drinks.

Honestly shocked it took me this long to visit. Great energy loved the vinyl jukebox.

Great wee pub with upstairs, downstairs, and 'on street' drinking available

Still the best independent bar in the West End.

Fantastic little place bit of an oasis really good beers will go again 👍

Really really cool hidden bar, great!

One of the best pics in central London. Amazing selection of Spanish lagers and great service. Awesome jukebox too. Highly recommended for a couple of pints 🍻

Great service , great drinks offer ! We were well looked after !

Bar español, lo más español que hay aquí es la bandera, al menos tienen cerveza española pero nadie habla español, entiendo que sea Londres pero ni una tapa de cacahuetes ni una máquina de tabaco ni una tragaperras. Las mesas están al nivel de las rodillas de un niño pequeño y no tiene terraza para tardeo. El barman ha tirado la caña 4 veces por persona. Ha tirado más cerveza de la que ha servido. Por lo menos es la cerveza más barata de Londres (6 con algo la pinta)

Nice wee spanish pub and and a decent spanish lager

There is no food served here so we can’t rate the food,Otherwise we enjoyed a few drinks in Bradley’s…A little pub with good atmosphere and attitude.Spent the whole Saturday afternoon and the place was fantastic.Friendly bar staff and reasonable prices.would visit again if around Spanish quarter area ………hopefully soon.8/10 only reason for the score is there was no food served.

Truly a gem of a place! Old school pub done so well - great beer, love the interiors, warm - great find.

Great place brilluant jukebox great spanish beer. Bohemian style

Best bar in London Coming here for years.

Great pub, excellent staff and good drinks

Great small bar in the back streets of Oxford street. Lots of unofficial outdoor drinking.

Best tiny pub in Oxford street for a quick pint.

Trendy little bar off Oxford Street.

Not really sure what I was expecting. Certainly not somewhere I would venture back to.

The place has 2 floors and is quite interesting how is decorated. It doesnt look so much spanish but the vibe is really good. The music was very nice and the service also was good. I had an Estrella Galicia shandy and was the best i had in a long time.

Giving a 4 due to the cold Estrella galicia and prompt service. Was expecting a bit more of an old Spanish tapas place but nothing really related to it.

Great little bar, long may pubs like this continue to hang on in there in London.

An excellent place for friends to meet

Lovely cosy pub with a brilliant atmosphere

Still a cool little peoce of London. Quirky and unspoilt

Just love this place ♥️ always a warm welcome, cold beer and hot tunes.

Certainly one of the best pubs in the area, and a surprise bit of tranquility and curious charm as you leave the bustling Oxford St. Serves a great Guinness and a terrific dark Budvar on tap, among many other things. I’ve been before and I’ll be back again.

Unique place for a pint, equally welcoming to locals and tourists.

Great pub but very small and crowded!

Excellent bar, just around the corner from Tottenham Court Road. Tiny room on the ground level (which I prefer!) but there is a lower level. Great music and good atmosphere. Bar peeps are always friendly, too.

Great place, lovely staff, a refuge during my mostly solo visit to London.

Good atmosphere, especially if your Spanish (I am not)

Cool and vibey. Great old school duke box. An institution.

Good honest bar. Friendly cheap with that legend juke box. Best bar in the west end.

Great place. People actually talk to you there!

The realest place to get a drink in that area! Alhambra on draught 🔥🔥🔥

A tiny two floored pub on the north side of Oxford Street. Bradley's Spanish Bar is adorned with perhaps the most memorable genuine 60s and 70s juke box ever, still playing vinyl 45s. Bit of Rolling Stones as I write. A superb little pub with an additional bar and seating in the basement. Tiny but lovely, know so many that would have this as their local. Come down and give it a try, you will love it.

For over 40 years I make a point of coming here whenever I’m in London, some of the decor predates this. I love the place.

Pub chains are buying many of the pubs and they are all becoming an imitation of what they used to be. Bradley's is a great exception in a ridiculously central location. This is your chance to avoid tourist traps, listen to real jukebox music and experience a real old school pub. Even Anthony Bourdain's (r.i.p) visit couldn't ruin this place.

Supuestamente Bar español... Quién te atiende no habla español, la música no es en español y quién lo frecuenta tampoco es español (rusos, suizos y rumanos), así que tampoco tienes con quién charlar en español

Excellent pub with an amazing jukebox! Great character.

Always a great atmosphere and still as it was. Original and beautiful

Great time good music interesting atmosphere.. cool mix of styles...

🚇 Tottenham Court Road 🍺 £6.00 Mahou ❤️ A famous West End watering hole. . Bradley’s Spanish Bar is located on Hanway Street which is just off Oxford Street. The nearest tube is Tottenham Court Road. . This old school London pub is decorated in the red and yellow of the Spanish flag and opened its doors back in the 1950’s. . There are two bars, a small bar and ground level and a larger bar in the basement. The decor here is dated with a 1980’s local pub feel, which I love. Around the walls are an eclectic mix of prints, postcards , bank notes and pictures of loyal locals. The seating is limited on the ground floor to a comfy banquette with a few low tables and a few stools around the bar, downstairs there is a bit more room but be sure nab a seat when you see one. . Although the name of the pub eludes to an Iberian offering, you wont find any tapas and the like on offer here. What you do get is a good range of Spanish lagers and some homegrown ones too. I opted for a pint of Mahou, I checked with the barman before ordering the correct pronunciation, he said it’s pronounced “Mao” not “Mahoo” as most punters have said. My pint was very agreeable, hit the spot and wasn’t overly expensive. . There is a low-key and unpretentious vibe here and you immediately feel welcome. I have visited this pub a few times over the years and have always enjoyed the atmosphere. This visit was on a Saturday afternoon and the bar was a mix of tourists from Sweden, USA and Ireland plus locals all engaging in a good old chat. The star of the show is the legendary Jukebox which spins 45’s from years ranging from the 50’s to the 90’s. Its was great hearing Blue Monday by New Order blast out from this superb machine. The service here is great, the bar staff are very chatty and take all sorts of conversations in their stride. . @bradleysspanishbar is one of London’s pub gems, when you talk to someone about visiting here they often tell you a story about their experience and always mention the Jukebox. Definitely plan yourself a visit here as part of trip to the West End. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 28.05.22

It's the hidden gem. Been frequenting it for years and entend to do so for years to come. Fantastic little spot.

One of the best tiny pubs London has to offer.

A quirky venue over two floors. Nice atmosphere and nice team.

What a truly eclectic place, come here for a taste of something truly different.

It's way more expensive than how the prices said on many reviews and I didn't felt anything Spanish about this bar at all

Always good, barely changed over the decades. Great choice of beer and the juke box.

Found this little gem last night. What an incredible pub. Warm friendly, great beer. To be so close to oxford street! You want to visit a good old skool pub. This is the one. 👏🏻👏🏻

Mega Kult, man fühlt sich zurück geboomt in Zeiten,wo noch nicht alle Locations Ketten waren und sofort zu Hause. Anytime wieder!

Cracking bar on two floors (ground and cellar) with the proper Czech Budweiser (not the poor quality American alternative).

Cool little secret pub, great little old school juke box.

Wonderfully small bar in Fitzrovia. With two floors with a good selection of drinks, friendly service and of course, the fantastic jukebox 🍺
