Small Bar

We first arrived at the Small Bar for drinks. I read about it, and it sounded like such a chill environment. And so we came in for a couple of drinks, and it was really lovely, and everybody was so welcoming, and then… We saw they had Taco Tuesday. And we were excited, as the taco varieties look great, but it was not a Tuesday, sadly for us. We resolved to come back. For drinks, we sat outside, because it was a bit of a mild day, but when I went inside and saw the courtyard, I knew we would have our Taco Tuesday in the interior courtyard one day. The courtyard was the perfect combination of sparkling and cozy. We were staying in the area for several more weeks, and so we put it on our calendar. A couple of weeks later, on a Tuesday, we came in and sat in the courtyard; it was fairly early, so we were some of the only customers, and the tacos were exquisite! So inexpensive, so chock-full of goodness. We paired them with the spicy margaritas which perfectly complemented the tacos, and… Wow. Such fun. Our server was super friendly, and the courtyard was cozy even though it was a bit of a chilly day. Two tacos per plate (times three different versions) was certainly enough for dinner. And the flavors were really well-balanced. The hoisin duck was awesome! The fish was also very good. The only disappointment was the smoky pulled pork, because we felt that the barbecue sauce was a bit thick. We are from the American south, and so we love barbecue sauce, but we use it a sparingly, because it can be overpowering. So maybe if they pulled back a bit on the barbecue sauce with the pulled pork. Overall, we were thrilled with the tacos, and the service, and the price, and the margaritas. If we lived here, we would be back on a regular basis!

Love Small Bar. The staff are amazing. Welcoming. Helpful. Easy to get hold of. Great food. Excellent drinks. Couldn’t recommend more.

Excellent cocktails, great ambiance and 5 star service all the way from the USA with Aidan waiting on us with that good old southern hospitality charm that you just can’t teach!

Great busy atmosphere. We stopped for dessert and a wine. I tried their mulled wine with a shot and it was delicious. We also ordered a sticky date pudding with a glass a red. They have a wide list of wines, everything was very tasty.

Food, vibe and service were all superb! Booking was available but we didnt make one and still got an outside table on a Saturday night. Food came out quickly. Loved the jalapenos poppers, duck tacos were nice but it was more like a Chinese duck pancake (which was the idea), maybe other options will fee more taco-ish. Definitely will come back to try other items on the menu.
