What reviewers say

Visitors praise Barrio Cafe for its great atmosphere and friendly staff, with some calling it a perfect place to organize parties. However, a significant complaint is the venue's strict cash-only policy for drinks, toilets, and cloakroom, which some find inconvenient and even illegal.

We attended a Bollywood bash night at barrio. First thing, if you aren’t a party person, the place looks very shady. Apart from that it was difficult to find the cafe.

A reasonably sized, very friendly nightclub. Attentive and helpful staff. Bring cash, as electronic payments are not accepted (the only downside).
