Great for creative cocktails

Hidden in the upstairs of its sibling restaurant Avelo; in a heritage townhouse on a quiet street, Bar Avelo serves up cocktails, wine, and other drinks. In an intimate Victorian inspired space, it features dramatic arched ceilings and lush velvet textiles. Bar Avelo boasts an a la carte Tapas menu from the same creative mind of Avelo Restaurant's Head Chef Fernando Anrango, and serves up some of the finest plant-based bites in the city.

If you wish to dine with us for our 5 or 8 course Tasting menu, please book at Avelo Restaurant. We do NOT offer the Tasting menu at Bar Avelo. For further questions, please contact the restaurant.

A lovely experience on every level. The food is fantastic, the service excellent and warm, and the setting is very intimate and charming. It has the feel of a secret refuge. Also, I am an omnivore, not a vegan, but I did not miss my usual fare at all. I was utterly satisfied. Bravo Bar Avelo!

We had a great time. I tried two amazing cocktails and my friend had wine. We tried the happy hour tapas - the fried mushrooms and empanada. Both were delicious. The staff were extremely friendly, conscious of allergies and fun. Ambiance of the upstairs is a 10/10. It’s so good I am ready to go back again. Eden was an awesome server. And the bartender (Dan?) was 🙌

Hello Alex, I am very glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us at Bar Avelo! The 18% service charge is added in lieu of a tip and is stated when making a reservation on OpenTable and on our menu. We have this service charge to be able to pay all of our staff livable wages and is our way to combat wage disparity within the hospitality industry.
