Bars & Pubs

You'd be forgiven for not noticing that Bar Lorca is Spanish at all. The slick, softly lit presentation is very salubrious, but its neutral tones could belong to any number of the modern bars you find in central London. However, take a second look and the authenticity shines through. Draught lagers are strictly San Miguel and Estrella Damm; the wine and cocktail lists are predominantly Spanish, and the tapas bar counter serves paella for a fiver at Sunday lunch. DJs every Friday and Saturday and the late licence attract a trendy crowd.
