We're a casual neighborhood bar serving food and drinks from an alternate reality in which California is still a part of Spain.

We feature a unique menu, specializing in sherry, vermouth and wine. Host a special birthday, corporate event, holiday party, or drinks reception here.

We're able to put together custom food and beverage menus for groups larger than 12 and can often modify our layout to suit your space needs.

For groups of 20-50, we can reserve all or part of our indoor space.
