Tapa - Darlinghurst (NSW)

Sometimes it is nice to see bars that take service seriously. You get a complimentary tapas with every drink and the sangria are the best value for money here.Estrella on tap and tapas with each drink won me over. Nice neighbourhood bar kinda feeling. Highly recommend it.

An authentic, distinct, mouthwatering experience. You could easily mistake walking into Bar Tapa with walking into a tapas bar in Barcelona. The decor, a refreshing take on the gentrification of many tapas bars within the region providing a colourful and welcoming experience. Each dish was packed with flavour, with traditional favourites such as the patatas bravas and gambas al ajillo, and new takes and presentations on classics like the octopus served on potato slices. The only negative was the potato slices could have been seasoned prior to layering, but this was more than made up with the amazing sangria on offer. A must try, given the shortage of good spanish tapas bars in Sydney.

Best staff hands down, so friendly and involved honestly gave us the best experience for a 11 person birthday dinner, do get the patatas bravas you won't regret it

Really fresh addition to the Stanley St food scene, went for dinner and all our tapas were quite tasty, service was friendly and the atmosphere is very cool in the evening!

With no menu available on their website I was curious to check them out to see what's on offer. The banderillas and pinchos menu looked great posted on the front window but unfortunately was only available for dinner. The Crema Catalana $7) is usually also for the dinner menu but the kitchen were able to make one for my lunch time visit. Very nice toffee topping achieved and lovely flavour. Light enough to enjoy solo. Next time I'm keen to try their churros but that will have to be at dinner time as well. Friendly service and Spanish theme filled decor makes for an interesting welcoming restaurant and bar vibe. The menu seems best suited for sharing although the calamari bocadillo is calling my name on the next solo lunch visit.
