"The two-story successor to dearly missed dock bar Cantina Marina is perched right on the water. Head upstairs to the open-air bar slinging Mexican beers, margaritas, a handful of packaged snacks, and $6 Truly seltzers on game days. Its Pearl Street Warehouse partner does live shows a few nights a week." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi
"Cantina Bambina has glass walls that keep diners warm once the temperature drops, nicely decorated to resemble the inside of a giant snow globe. Visit from Black Friday through mid-January. Plus, there are hot drinks available through the snack bar by the Wharf skating rink all winter." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
"At the Wharf’s no-frills waterfront hangout Cantina Bambina, six-ounce bags of “Chef Rob’s Spicy Nut Mix” remains a cult classic ($8)." - Tierney Plumb
"This covered dock bar at the Wharf is open on the weekends, serving local beers and drinks with beachy names like Bananarama alongside a very short list of snacks." - Adele Chapin
"Dock bar Cantina Bambina at the Wharf is equipped with heaters and hot cocktails this winter, and this December, the bar will turn into a “giant snow globe” with holiday lights and decor." - Adele Chapin
