Ambience is everything for a sunny Sunday afternoon tipple. Inside with Bob Dylan playing on the stereo and people discussing the finer points of the Spanish language or outside in the breeze under the umbrellas?

I love the Robbie Burns. They have the most delicious tapas. It is such a nice place to get warm and bubbly on a sunny afternoon.

The only thing I don’t understand is the name. It is hardly Spanish. It sounds like a famous football player!

    Robert Burns was a Spanish poet. The bar has been here since the 1860’s and they started cooking Spanish tapas in the 1980s. They did not want to change the name because it was such a popular bar. I know this because one of the bar staff joined our table for a cigarette.
