Lounge

The exterior of Bardo Lounge café bar features large windows, pink barriers adorned with white and red flowers, and outdoor tables and chairs set on a sunlit paved sidewalk, inviting guests to experience the vibrant Bardo atmosphere.

A colorful restaurant interior at Bardo features floral wallpaper, yellow and red doors, wooden tables and chairs, framed pictures on the wall, and hanging industrial-style lights.

Our Lounge

Dusty pink Bardo Lounge sits prettily on the High Street, alongside York Stream in the redeveloped Waterside Quarter. We have lovely outdoor terraces on both sides, and big floor to ceiling windows that open up to let the outside in. Our big space inside is really welcoming, with clouds of tassel-y lampshades, constellations of star lights and chandeliers jostling for space among oil paintings and rather spectacular wallpaper.

The fun continues outside, with a lovely Toucan sculpture on our wall that commemorates the famous old “Le Tucan” café that was on this site before us. Legendary, well-loved café bar? Toucan play at that game.
