Chulo Tapas & Bar

My friends and I have the most amazing time here tonight. From us meeting Zoey earlier in the day to having Adrian for the night, great vibes! Not only did Adrian make us some good mocktails but had great suggestions from the menu. When we were done they brought the bill and we hung out for a little bit just chatting. About 5 to 10 mins after they even checked to see if there was anything else we needed. I am from out of town visiting but I will be back. Great food, service and space. Thanks, job well done!

A wonderfully intimate space. Great food and fun selection of drinks. A restaurant out of the ordinary in Penticton and a welcome addition.

This is the cutest tapas bar I’ve ever found. The ambiance is great. Service was exceptional. Drinks were very tasty and food was exquisite. We shared most of the tapas. We dug in too quickly to take photos of everything but the cherry bombs were a favourite at the table. Also the meatballs, prawns and mushroom phyllo. Everything was really amazing and I can’t wait to come back. This is a definite must in penticton.

Great service, very knowledgeable staff with a true passion to serve their patrons! Very unique, detailed and delicious food. The potions are not big, so order a few things to try lots of options. Reasonable in price.

Chulo Tapas Bar is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The cocktails were excellent, offering a unique twist that set them apart from other places I’ve been. The ambience is cozy and fun, making it the perfect spot for a night out. It’s definitely our new go-to place in Penticton. Highly recommend!

An absolutely incredible Tapas bar in Penticton, that serves up honestly some of the best Tapas I’ve had outside of Spain. Chulo has a small indoor restaurant and also an outdoor space too, but as we went along early we managed to grab a table. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and an open kitchen, so you can see and smell all the amazing dishes coming out. We ordered a wide selection of their Tapas, and they all came along in the perfect order. I would write out my highlights of the dishes but in all honesty we enjoyed every single thing. The Albondigas and Tuna Tonnato were both sensational dishes - and both the desserts were great too. The service was also fantastic, and all the team were so caring, knowledgeable and friendly. They also made some fantastic cocktails too! Overall, the whole experience at Chulo Tapas Bar was perfection. The food was amazing, the staff were top-notch and I felt it was very reasonably priced too. I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

It was my birthday. I went alone and was immediately struck by how busy and cozy it was. I was welcomed right away and I chose a seat at the bar. I am lucky in that I enjoy all food and have no allergies, so I told them that all the dished were their choice and I wasn't disappointed in any of them. For beverages, I started with a glass of Tin Whistle Cervesa, followed by the Mas Fi Brut and finished withe the Last Day cocktail, then an espresso with dessert (Crema Catalan). Throughout my visit I enjoyed the Tuna Tonnato, Patatas Bravas, Gambas al Ajillo, Albonigas. I also had the nibbler of heated mixed olives/roasted garlic and slivered almonds. It was a great meal and a great place to see a few friends who were also enjoying the offerings. Take advantage! A great night out!

What a wonderful surprise. My fiance and I decided to try this place last minute and we are so glad we did. The food was fantastic. Full of flavor and variety, and came out so quick! They were also many gluten free options. Be sure to try the little cheese stuffed peppers! We also loved the fact that food prices were very reasonable, drinks were unique and tasty, and the service was excellent. We will be back for sure.
