About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for craft beers
Bodega is the perfect place for every over-21, a quirky 1920’s speakeasy meets jazz club that offers a welcome that is akin to a long, hot bath after a rough day. Discover a rare find of mature drinkers and enjoy chilled-out evenings of table service and conversation whilst dining on our delicious food. The food we serve is fresh, quality produce with a theme for sharing. Come in, relax and choose a bottle from the extensive wine list, select a specialty beer or one of our spectacular liquors, you’ll find it’s midnight before you know it. We very much hope to see you soon. Cheers!

    Nice candle lit bar with friendly staff. We chose the board platter. Most dishes were very nice though the sweet potato wedges were very disappointing, under cooked and only five of them ! Fishcakes and prawns were excellent though !

    I have dined at Bar Bodega several times. The food is usually always really great. However, I have to say this time my beef was quite fatty unfortunately. Still tasty, though. I would still definitely recommend Bar Bodega it is a lovely bar serving great wine and cocktails. They also do amazing burgers, but only on a Sunday can you get a big burger, please bring it back to every day!

    We stopped in here after reading reviews online. We weren't disappointed. The food was lovely, and the cocktails were divine. The margarita was one of the best we have ever had! My partner and I really enjoyed the speak easy setting and found it cosy and romantic for date night.

    I had higher hopes for this place than I should have, I guess. The decor is cool, the noise level high, cocktails uninspired - I make a far more interesting Old Fashioned than the one they serve, and with the Speakeasy theme, I expected the menu to have a good selection of craft and vintage cocktails, which it did not. Color me disappointing.
