Spanish Tapas & Buzzing Vibes in the Heart of London

Nestled in the charming enclave of St Christopher's Place, Bar Kroketa is a welcoming and stylish Spanish tapas bar that brings the flavours of Spain to central London. With its relaxed yet energetic vibe, rustic decor, and open seating, it’s a great spot to settle in before heading off to a nearby gig or show.

Bar Kroketa draws inspiration from the bustling pintxo bars of San Sebastián, offering a menu of delicious croquetas, small plates, and wines designed for sharing.

Concert fans love Bar Kroketa for its central location—just a short walk from Oxford Street and within easy access of London’s top music venues. The service is efficient and friendly, making it easy to enjoy a quick meal before a show. The small plates are ideal for sharing, and the lively atmosphere gets you in the mood for a night out.

What People Say

Reviews frequently praise the authentic flavours and creative croquetas, with guests calling them “delicious,” “inventive,” and “a must-try.” The atmosphere is described as “buzzing but not too loud,” with many noting the great value for money and “warm, knowledgeable staff.” Diners also appreciate the convenient location and quick service, especially before concerts or theatre shows.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the menu is fairly compact, so picky eaters might find fewer options. It can also get a bit crowded during peak times, so arriving early is a smart move—especially on weekends. Seating is mostly communal or bar-style, which may not suit those looking for a quiet, private dinner.

The Bottom Line

Bar Kroketa is a flavour-packed, fun-filled stop for concert-goers wanting an easy, delicious Spanish meal just steps from the action.
