Overview
Bar Alba is a wine bar in Kew, within easy reach of the suburb's Greythorn village errands, Doncaster Road trams, and creek-side walks.

Residents use it for drinks after work, casual meet-ups, and weekend evenings, often walking from nearby homes or arriving by tram along local corridors. Venues such as Bar Alba add to the character and energy of Kew after hours. They support a balanced lifestyle where entertainment sits close to home rather than only in the city centre.

★★★★★“Everything was great but the only thing I didn’t like was that they changed their food menu when I visited for the second time in two weeks 🥲 I miss their vodka pasta! It was soooooo gooooooooood!!!!”
Christina Collins
★★★★★“This place is awesome! The food is sooooo crazy good! Our favourites were the Spanner Crab Toasts and the Prawn Schnitzel! We enjoyed great cocktails served by extremely friendly and personable staff. And, you can get Super Tuscan wines by the glass!”
Brian Peters
★★★★★“This is an excellent place to enjoy. Fantastic service, great wine and the food is magnificent. In my opinion it’s more ‘tapas’ style in the sense you can order as you choose. The food really is delicious and the menu changes regularly.”

★★★★★“Went for a snack after school reunion. Halloumi was so good as were the Dobson potato cakes. Solid slices with nice batter. Asked for coffee and he went across the road? But such a good coffee. Sat outside so very pleasant”
