"Es un bar de pueblo, agradable, con buen trato y buen precio. No tuve la oportunidad de probar sus tapas, por esto no las puedo valorar. He de decir que tanto la camarera como el camarero son muy serviciales. Recomiendo sin dudas. Parada obligatoria si visitas Íllar. Desde mi opinión,para poner la quinta estrella necesitaría un toquecito de modernidad."

"Soy de los que a la hora de valorar un bar o restaurante, hay que tener en cuenta donde estamos, Illar es un pueblo pequeño, bonito y agradable y este bar es un sitio estupendo para tomar unas cervezas, vinos, etc. Muy buenas tapas de cocina casera de toda la vida: lomo de orza, callos, algunas tapas en bollitos, calamares fritos, boquerones, etc. La cerveza es punta este de tirador Tostada, y un ribera decente. Lugar tranquilo y una terraza muy agradable, un entorno fenomenal."

"Excelentes tapas. Muy recomendable el secreto y el bacalao frito. El problema lo tienen con la atención los fines de semana. Al personal de barra le pareció desubicado mi comentario sobre que era demasiado esperar 20 minutos por un tercio"
