Bar Kroketa is a compact Spanish bar at 21 Beak Street in Soho and the original home of the Kroketa group. Inspired by the lively bar culture of northern Spain, it is fast moving, informal and centred on a counter where guests can stop for a quick bite or settle in for a longer meal. The small room and open energy make the experience feel close to the kitchen.
Croquetas are the signature, prepared fresh with crisp shells and creamy centres. The flavours change regularly and can move between jamón, seafood, cheese, vegetables and sweet ideas, giving regular visitors something new to try. A visible counter and changing blackboards reinforce the sense that these small bites are made for the moment rather than treated as a fixed formula.
The rest of the menu follows the Spanish habit of sharing several concise dishes. Quality produce appears in snacks, cured meats, seafood and seasonal plates, while classics such as tortilla, pan con tomate, padrón peppers and patatas bravas may join the selection. This flexible format works as an aperitif, a quick lunch or a full meal assembled one plate at a time.
Cold cañas, cider, vermouth and traditional aperitifs are joined by playful cocktails and Spanish wines selected from individual estates. The drinks support the salty, crisp and rich flavours of the kitchen without making the bar feel formal. Bar Kroketa’s combination of immediacy, frequent menu changes and sociable counter dining captures the rhythm of a busy Spanish bar in the centre of Soho.
