About Green & Red Bar & Cantina
A temple to tequila in Bethnal Green. Evening Standard Bar of the Year 2006, Green & Red, combines an infectious passion for fine tequila with soulful Mexican food and a fantastic atmosphere. Big on wood, there’s a comfortable bar and dining area upstairs; a loungey space downstairs. The menu showcases the food of Mexico’s Jalisco state, home of tequila. Jaliscan cooking is typically fuss-free, home-made style food designed to share. Starters range from superb chargrilled shrimps with a roasted cherry tomato and habañero salsa, and a zesty sea bass ceviche, to ribs with pasilla chilli and orange salt. Regular DJs play a mix of funk, soul, rock ‘n’ roll, with a pinch of salsa and Mexican hip hop. Amazingly knowledgeable staff provide charming service.
Please be aware there may be a time limit on your table of 2 hours. Groups of 8 or more may have up to 2 1/2 hours.
Opening hours:
Mon - Sat 5:30pm - MidnightSun 5:30pm - 10pm

As always it was wonderful: lively but with enough space to be able to enjoy my friends company rather than that of the table next to us. The food was succulent and full of flavour - the vegetables were particularly delicious and the service was great. I would also recommend the Michelado.Review

The menu is very short but the food was fresh tasting and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Starters were really small, as was my hake portion but other main courses were generous. Service was attentive and pleasant. Clientele was really mixed. One grumble: they need to crank up the thermostat - most of my group had to keep their coats on throughout the meal.Visitors
