Bar eS Ambleside

A lively Mexican-inspired tapas bar serving sharing plates, cocktails, craft beer and relaxed evening food in the centre of Ambleside.

Bar eS brings a lively Mexican-inspired food and drink offer to St Mary’s Lane in central Ambleside. The menu centres on tapas-style sharing dishes alongside larger plates, with cocktails, craft beer and a relaxed bar atmosphere that feels notably different from the town’s traditional pubs and hotel restaurants.It is particularly well suited to groups and couples who want a casual evening built around several dishes rather than a formal multi-course meal. The venue is dog friendly under its current policy. Menus and service times change, and the bar can be busy during weekends and holiday periods, so check current opening information before making a special journey.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Our local note

A strong Ambleside choice for Mexican-inspired sharing food, cocktails and a livelier evening atmosphere than a traditional Lakeland pub.
