Bar Estilo reviews

Me and my partner first chose to go to a Spanish chain, didn’t really like it so we decided to go to Bar Estilo for the mains. I ordered a seafood Paella, my partner ordered the special Estilo paella. For dessert we ordered a portion of the …

Husband came hear alone the 1 day and was so impressed with the food and service bought be hear today, what can I say the food was amazing we had the sharing plater and added chicken wings, pork belly and grilled Chorizo, the pork belly was …

First time here and all round excellent. The location was superb, the food was delicious and cocktails were spot on. Staff were friendly and the service excellent. More

They say Birmingham is the second City after London but tonight it felt like the first city. We decided to dine out in the amazing Mail Box Birmingham, bang in the middle of the city centre. The atmosphere was electric, eclectic, it just …

Very attentive waiters and great overall service. The waitress was very friendly and nice. If you can only get 1 thing, get the baked goat’s cheese with honey!! It’s AMAZING. We also got veggie paellas which were really good and a crab cake (I personally did not really like this but my friends did).

EDITED REVIEW:

We came here this evening and were greeted by a woman who we can only assume was …

Nice place to enjoy food or just a drink. Friendly and professional staff .
The seafood paella was just amazing and I really liked the patatas bravas. I’ll definitely come back, highly recommended. Keep going 💪💪💪 …

Great atmosphere. Excellent food and drinks. Sangria was lovely More

Delicious food, good drinks, lovely staff, highly recommend! More

Kind of miss Spanish food after my trip in Mallorca.
I ordered feta quesadilla (there were actually 4 pieces but i forgot to take photos first). So delicious that i couldn’t stop eating although i was quite full …

Visited on a Friday a couple weeks ago. The place is huge and has loads of tables both inside and outside (though the outside seating is still under a roof, just in the corridor of the building). …

Great tapas lunch in this busy restaurant. Staff efficient, friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and the portion sizes are ideal for indulging into different flavours. More

Good old Bar Estilo, always a nice vibe from the staff here, their Prawns Pil Pil / Garlic & chilli are sublime, nice slow cooked garnished prawns. But I must add besides their seafood paella which was just right u MUST try their Octopus …

Really lovely & lovely atmosphere even on a quiet night. Lovely tapas and great staff.

Left waiting a long while before being acknowledged at the door and despite many servers walking straight past us.
Had to ask for water although it was automatically given to other tables without …

Nice place but bit hyped up to be honest. Portion sizes are very small for the price. I ordered garlic prawns, they were in fact small shrimps or tiny prawns rather than medium size or even king/tiger prawns for the price. …

Overall a good experience. Food was very good especially for the price, but some sides came out cold (fries). Cocktails decent. Only let down is it seems impossible to grab a servers attention to order. The staff were all friendly and polite but perhaps they were understaffed? Either way I will visit again. More

This is a wonderful restaurant. Staff are super friendly and attentive, food and drinks are excellent and the restaurant itself is so cute! Highly recommend for a mid priced meal with a partner or friends!

Food and surroundings were lovely but the service was slow and they gave us the worst jug of Sangria I’ve ever had. It was murky and tasted like watered down vimto. Would definitely order different drinks if I go back! More

Awful customer service, waitress didn’t even understand English. So much for a posh restaurant I would say racist!. I asked for a Mediterranean platter which was for 2 people but I was willing to pay. They said the chef can’t make it and …

The most authentic Spanish tapas outside of Spain. The food is delicious. The restaurant is stunning, the staff are fantastic. Everything about Elstilo is perfect. More

Bar Estilo is a vibrant restaurant and bar in Birmingham, UK. They offer a range of Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine, including tapas and paella, and a selection of cocktails and wines. The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish, with indoor and outdoor seating available. Perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner. More

Amazing drinks and service -Beth is absolutely fantastic! She was the perfect person to have behind the bar, friendly, efficient service. Her knowledge of the drinks were great for us. She made the experience at Bar Estilo even more …

The food was incredible. Very tasty, presented amazing and the staff were very friendly and the restaurant had lots of precautions for covid. Would definitely return. The goats cheese was a personal favourite.

The place was really busy, that didn’t stop the staff from being really attentive and friendly. Food was lovely too and came out from the kitchen quickly. I’ll be going back More

My wife and I ate here for Monday lunch before going to the Alexandra Theatre just over the road. We shared the Mediterranean Feast which cost £15.95 each. It was superb. We finished with The Mousses and Crema Catalan. The whole bill, …

Went to Estilo on a Friday evening for an early dinner.
There was plenty of options to choose from on the menu.
We decided to order from the tapas menu. …

Good: plenty of space so likely to get a space without booking. Service friendly and fairly timely …

Bar Estilo Mailbox is in my eyes the Centre of the Universe lol ok lets explain the food is amazing comes in the perfect portion sizes, Staff are very friendly and helpful, the location is perfect, when me and Wife go we always make the …

Great relaxing place, fab food and great sangrias!!

Gone down hill in recent years. Food tastes like it’s from Iceland, very bland and boring. Duck wraps were an abomination …

One of the best places for Paella. Great selection of food and menu. Efficient and quick customer service. Cosy atmosphere. Modern lighting and seating.

The beautiful Bar Estillo. I love the moody Mediterranean decor. Service is super. Food is served fast. It is quintessential quality.

Only reason not 5 stars overall is lack of table space. Party of 16 with all the different dishes/glasses, was impossible to feel comfortable-worrying about knocking something off.
That said, service was good, food fab. More

Saturday night WITHOUT BOOKING seated within 20 minutes very happy.
A very busy restaurant but the kitchen still produced a delectable array of beautifully presented dishes that all tasted both fresh and authentic. …

Absolutely amazing service. There were 12 of us and the waitress coped fantastically well. So efficient and very professional. More

I’m obliged to give 2 stars only. The food was excellent and the staff very good. Unfortunately we were seated by the entrance, I never been so cold eating my dinner. Our table should have never been put in front of the front door. More

Lovely setting and gorgeous food. Our waitress Shay was so good! Thanks for your service Shay. I would visit again. More

Service is pretty good. Food not very authentic it’s kinda like if Mac Donald’s did tapas. Prawns tiny, halloumi fritters ok but cold, meatballs nice, croquettes ok, alioli seems shop bought. Lager was mahou which was flat. …

Went on a sunny day and had the best view. Even though the restaurant was a bit busy, our waitress Angela and an older man was ever so attentive and always smiling. Loved the interiors, vibes and food. Thank you!

A friend recommended the Bar Estilo to me for the celebration of two birthdays, mine and another friend’s. …

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Highly recommended. Probably the best tapas bar I have experienced. More

As you enter Bar Estilo, you are greeted with the vibes of a rustic Spanish tavern. A spark contrast to the modern architecture of the Mailbox in which it is situated in. Once seated you will enjoy the views of the canals and the bustling Birmingham nightlife whilst being able to taste the wide array of tapas on offer.

Great cocktails and tapas. It would be great if staff were bit more attentive. Overall it was a pleasing experience.

Went here for a Birthday meal. The food was great and service was awesome. Had my two children with me and the staff were very welcoming More

Loved it! Delicious food great atmosphere and great service, we didn’t book and they really accommodated us. More

Amazing food and service. Great atmosphere. I would be here every week if I lived closer. More

I took my mum here for her birthday. The food was lovely and it came out pretty fast. My pork ribs where a bit cold. I asked them for a fresh plate. Apart from that no complaints

I used to Love la Tasca so was really looking forward to this place.The food is great, can’t question that but the portions are really small and the prices are astronomical,totally overpriced for what you get,such a shame.

We have visited regularly over the last 20 years and are never disappointed. Had a great evening celebrating a 50th birthday. Staff are fantastic , food is amazing 🤩 …

Highly overpriced. £20 for jar of Sangria, portion of paella over £20. Taste was below average.
Service was good though. More

Great restaurant and food. Really friendly and attentive staff. Nice atmosphere and everything is very well presented. Always a good dining experience.

Great food and staff looked after us. For some of the party it was their first Tapas and everything was explained so they ordered a great meal too. More

We dined on a Saturday night and the Restaurant was packed out which was a good sign. We got there early so we got our drinks at the bar. Great selection of alcohol, and the bar tenders were friendly and helpful. We saw a table become …

The staff were so friendly. The food to be delivered was not that long. The food was well prepared and very fresh. It’s a big place with plenty of seating with a very nice environment.

Amazing service and delicious food. Even though we attended as a large group the staff made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be visiting again More

Lovely tapas with a good choice of vegetarian dishes. Very tasty food and friendly staff. Handy for Everyman cinema and shopping.

Amazing food, it came out quickly and tasted great.
Our waitress was very good too, nothing was too much trouble and she worked efficiently with a smile serving big parties on a busy Saturday night.
Thank you, we will definitely be back!

It was the worst experience I’ve had in my entire life. My friends and I were kicked out of the restaurant simply because we didn’t spend much. We stayed 1 hour drinking and the manager left the bill on the table and asked everyone to leave …

Excellent food and great service. Liv was a fantastic host. Highly recommended

Food is good, beer selection is pretty decent. Nice place to drink and chat.

Been there a few times, food was delicious went for a pre-theatre meal. More

Food was ok, nothing special. We had tapas, but had to wait a while for the remaining dish to be served. More

Came here as it was next to our hotel, late on a Friday night, and the food was superb – and LOADS of it. Ended up ordering far too much but everything was packed full of flavour and piping hot when it came out. Good cocktails too. If ever in Birmingham and staying nearby, I’d definitely go again. More

Brilliant! Asked for a spinach dish (not on menu) and the owner went and bought some and rustled up an amazing dish. What service 🙏👏 …

Went in a couple weeks back had a wonderful time staff were good, was a lil disappointed with duck roll but other than that wonderful experience 10/10

Lively atmosphere, and good vegetarian options especially the selections of tapas and starter platter. Friendly staff and outdoor seating available. …

Great, food was delicious, it gets quite busy in there on a weekend so you know it’s going to be a good place to go.

This place is amazing!! So fresh and original. Definitely go here!! More

Every time I go to Birmingham I have to eat at Bar Estilo always great food and service 10/10 More

Good selection of Veg and vegan options with a nice vibe and fast service More

Great restaurant with a decent attempt at authentic Spanish dishes. It can get very busy so be sure to book ahead at popular times. It is a bit more expensive than it needs to be and the staff know they don’t have to work for their tip. It …

Well designed menu with dishes that are actually similar to Spain but also add a Mexican twist, they have good nachos 😊, different flavours sangria.
Really nice to eat outside with a good view over the canal and The Cube. …

Great service, delicious Cocktails and massive tasty paella!

It’s exactly Spanish food but it’s tasty… More

Absolutely incredible food. Some of the best tapas I’ve ever had. Staff were very kind and helpful. Possibly the best restaurant in the area. Well worth a visit if you’re nearby! More

I have eaten here about half a dozen times as it’s conveniently close to go with clients. After todays experience, I won’t be back: We had booked a mid-week lunchtime table for a small group, and confirmed when we placed the booking that a …
