Nuestro sitio favorito de día y de noche. Hemos comido tanto de menú como platos sueltos y estaba todo espectacular, también el tinto de verano y la sangría. El ambiente es inmejorable y los camareros son ❤️ puro. Mención especial para Ronaldo que ha estado super atento.

Varias cosas que destacar: Atención muy amable y eficiente Merienda (café y tarta) buen precio y calidad buena Copas cantidad y normal de precio Aperitivo Dulce y Salado a compartir En la terraza, en la gloria. Nos daba el sol desde las 15.30 que llegamos hasta la caída. Después la terraza la tienen adornada de luces de colores. Los baños limpios y el local es amplio y cómodo. Siempre que voy a Málaga, El Carmen Bar es de visita obligada. Al final, el simpático camarero nos invitó a un chupito y se tomó uno con nosotros. Gracias majos, volveremos sin lugar a dudas.

Magnífica ubicación, buen servicio, comida sencilla y rica, precio bastante aceptable... qué más se puede pedir para estar sentado en la icónica plaza de la Merced de Málaga... ¿camarer@s jóvenes, simpáticos, amables y con buena disposición...? pues sí también lo tienen!

Nos encantó el servicio y principalmente la atención de los camareros Alain y Sergio. Nos explicaron en qué consistían los platos y fueron muy atentos. La comida deliciosa y la Sangria la recomendamos.

Excelente atención. Un gran ambiente. Los mejores Ronaldo, Alan y Santi.

Un lugar tranquilo, bonito, con un menú rico a muy buen precio (11,50€ sin bebida ni postre). Los camareros muy amables, en especial Miguel ❤️❤️❤️, Iván y Fran, súper amables, simpáticos y cercanos. Un acierto en Málaga! Volveremos!

Me encanta la ubicación, el ambiente, la comida, los shows que hacen, el bingo, la tómbola, la diversión que hay. Me siento como en casa, me siento cómodo, soy yo. Gracias a este sitio he podido conocer gente maravillosa 👏🏻👏🏻 Los camareros, encargados, son bellísimas personas, Alain siempre está al detalle de todos, Santi bellísima persona, son todos en general. Lo recomiendo 100x100! Tendréis una maravillosa experiencia y vais a querer volver ☺️❤️

Absolutely loved the place. We did not know it was a gay bar. And to be honest don't care. The staff were fantastic. The food was amazing. And made me and the wife so welcome.

Fun and busy gay/queer bar. Service was friendly and attentive, food was not too bad either and prices were really ok. There was not an abundance of vegetarian dishes on the menue but some choice was there.

Denise Reichl

This bar brings so much charm and fun! A perfect location based very very close to the center to get some drinks and delicious, budget friendly tapas. Georgio is a waiter there and serves his clients with love, care and humor. I’ve been here several times and was never disappointed. Recommend 12/10

Great Tapas, Delicious Paella and excellent Sangria. The waiters were all really friendly and great to talk to. I hope they will be doing great, so we can come back next time.

This is in a really nice bustling square. We were served by Alain, who was really welcoming, patient and explained everything well. We have a few cocktails which were so refreshing in the heat. And the food was average (I didn't manage to take pictures of my main meal) but portions are huge! I would recommend this place for the atmosphere.

The service was great. Sergio (the waiter) was very kind and attended to us quickly. We enjoyed our experience. We had some coffee, a yogurt bowl, and some toast with salmon and avocado. The food was good, I feel like the bowl could've used a bit more fruits. But the entire experience was good and would definitely do it again. We wanted to try the different ice tea flavors that they have but at the end we were very full, however their diversity was very interesting.

The food was OK nothing crazy and special. The service was really good. The front of the restaurant has this big construction site so no view on the Square but overall good.

Found the place by chance when we wanted to have lunch nearby. Luckily they were serving lunch when we were there at 12pm (end of May - Summer). Waiter was attentive and made sure customers were being served according to their turn. Food came fair on time. We had tapas, which tasted great. Chicken wings on the saltier side. Otherwise great portion for the prize. Thanks!

Ann Stadnik

We had a wonderful experience at this café! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. A special thank you to our waiter, Sergio – he was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. He gave great recommendations and took excellent care of us throughout our visit. Highly recommended!

Andrea Beháňová

The best place in Malaga. Santi y Alain were the best waitress. We love the place vey much, the atmosphere was amazing and the food was great ☺️ I recommend this place very much

We had breakfast here, it's the perfect spot in the morning. It gets pleasantly warm from the direct sunshine but the plaza isn't too busy early in the day. Service was fast and the food was well priced. The pitufa con tomate y aciete was just right although my friend's desayuno ingles was only lukewarm.

Af Lee

What an incredible night! The food was absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch, with some attractive servers. The highlight was definitely the 8pm show. I adored the performance, and the ambiance was truly unforgettable. Huge thanks to Carmen Bar for such a wonderful evening in Malaga.

We stayed in the square so this restaurant was like our local. It wasn't busy as it was raining so we sat inside. Took a while before we had our order taken. Ordered some tapas and a paella 🥘 (Been told it takes 50 minutes to cook) So you know that's cooked from fresh. Good service. I can't really judge the atmosphere late on a rainy Tuesday evening. 5 stars!

Jeffrey Jones

My wife and I ate lunch here recently and the food and service were fantastic. Our waiter Fran, offered several helpful recommendations for the best plates considering our preferences. The flavors of everything that we ordered were very good, and the meal arrive very promptly. Prices are also very inexpensive, considering the quality and quantity of food served. We plan on returning to this bar in the future during our stay in Malaga.

Amazing food deserts, amazing selection ,friendly staff, highly recommend wine fabulous, clean spotless restaurant

Fabulous food, outstanding service, 10 from 10 in service from Patrik. What a super star. Cannot rate highly enough and the bingo is a great laugh

Buen sitio para tomarte unas tapas y comer en la terraza. El servicio amable y la comida está buena.la mayor crítica, cobrar 5 euros por un Martini

David Day

More of a restaurant than a bar, with a traditional tapas menu and great Spanish wines. (Maybe we were too early for the "bar"). In the nights we were there, most of the action was outside on the terrace where patrons can watch the crowds go by. Even in November, the outdoor dining was fine as the restaurants all put out "warmers ".

Suelo venir mucho a este lugar por el buen ambiente y lo acogedor que es. Pero hoy me pasé al mediodía para beber una caña y el camarero que había con hablando falta a los clientes y con mucha prepotencia. Con este tipo de camareros este local no se lo merece.

Nice tapas bar near to the square . Food was average in taste (their wok was super tastey ) and reasonably priced for the location . It can take loooong time for you to get the food , otherwise its ok .

Very slow and unfriendly (arrogant) waiters. Not paying attention to customers when trying to order new drinks. On a medium busy evening. Had the experience same experience the 5th time in 1 year. Ve…

UN ENGAÑO. Pedimos un par de albariños y dos Aperol, y al recibir la cuenta, el Albariño nos los han cobrado como copa sangría. Primero, le aclaro que la cuenta no es la nuestra, y su contestación ha sido que es correcta porque no tienen la copa de albariño en el programa y que el precio es el mismo a una COPA de sangría. En tal caso, una vez se da la cuenta el camarero ha de informar al cliente.

We waited around 20 min for someone to see us. After we ordered a paella, we waited for more than 1h to come. We couldn't eat half of it because of the taste like sand. We asked for the receive and we didn't get one. We definetly don't recommend the place.(Not to mention the loud music as we barely can hear each other)
