Summary
This “charming, unpretentious neighbourhood tapas restaurant” in an old Southwark pub is a “good option near the South Bank and Young Vic theatre”. “The food is reliable if a little old-fashioned” and comes in “proper portions”. The place “can be noisy – the staff, however, are darlings!”. There’s “a private room for hire upstairs”.

The place “can be noisy – the staff, however, are darlings!”. There’s “a private room for hire upstairs”.
Summary
“Fair value” for “authentic” scoff is to be had at this pub-turned-tapas-bar in a side street between Tate Modern and Southwark tube, which “feels like an old friend” for its many regulars, although “the experience you get slightly depends on how well you get on with the owner” (who is mostly “amiable”, but on a bad day, “grumpy”).
Summary
“Tapas that’s a cut above-the-norm” helps makes this “slightly cramped” former boozer in a Southwark backstreet a favourite pre-theatre pit stop, and “great after-work place”.
