Hola!
Welcome to Bar San Juan.

​We are a Tapas Bar and Restaurant located in the beautiful South Manchester suburb of Chorlton.

Pick a spot, order a drink and enjoy the vibes whilst you wait to be seated.

​Bar San Juan is not just a restaurant with proper Spanish food, it s a place to relax and enjoy with the Spanish way of life: eat some tapas, drink cerveza and have some fun!

​San Juan is a tiled tapas bar with traditional decor, serving authentic dishes and imported beer and wine. We aim to provide a little piece of Spain in Manchester.

​Buen provecho!

    Bar San Juan is one of our favourite places to eat and we are regular visitors, but for the first time ever we left feeling disappointed. My sister and brother in law joined us on Saturday for dinner. The food was as good as ever but we were so rushed that from sitting down to leaving took just over 45 minutes. Some items were also missed off the order and the bill was brought before we'd finished eating. I hate complaining because it really is a great place, but this last visit fell short of the service we're used to.

    Had a lovely afternoon celebrating birthdays. It was nice to be able to enjoy tapas as in Spain rather than worrying about being kicked out after our time is up which has happened in the past since covid...over the years we have spent many happy hours ordering a drink and a tapas then drink and a tapas..covid spoilt this hoping they are returning to the way it was
