Bar Vacilando offers an amazing selection of deliciously beautiful cocktails, appetizers, and burgers for a great price! Be sure to sit in the outdoor patio, which feels like a tropical escape!
1) Service (+): No reservations are taken here but there is a large wooden table in the outdoor patio that can seat up to 12 people
2) Ambience (+): I love the spacious, airy, and plant-filled vibe of the bar, especially the patio, which feels like a large greenhouse.
3) Food (+): For appetizers, we shared the fries lightly seasoned with herbs, fried onion rings, blistered shishito peppers, and reggianito stuffed fried olives and romesco - all of which were delicious and my favorited were the olives! In fact, I think the appetizers were better than the main menu, which is largely made up of burgers and sandwiches. I had the Vacilando burger featuring premium Oregon natural beef, lettuce, tomato, and grilled onions with a house pickle on the side. The burgers were good but they were nothing to write home about. For dessert, we shared the chocolate and Early Grey panna cotta, which were very unique and unlike anything I've tried before!
4) Alcohol/Drinks (+): The cocktails are certainly the highlight of Bar Vacilando. Equally delcious as they are beautiful, my favorite cocktail was the Lavender Haze - a beautiful concoction featuring house-infused butterfly pea tea gin, lemonade, soda, and lavender bitters. The Vacilando Gimlet with vodka, blood orange puree, lime, simple syrup, and ginger was another favorite!
5) Value for Money (-): With most cocktails around $13 each, appetizers under $10, and burgers from $10-$15, the price is right for this hip bar!
