Pan-Latin small plates, cocktails, and brunch with patio seating
"What with aguachile and escabeche, lomo de cerdo and chorizo parrillero, churros and congelados (frozen cocktails) making the rounds, it’s a pan-Latin fiesta in here every night — and beyond: The party starts at 3 p.m. with one of the city’s liveliest happy hours and continues through Sunday brunch, when avocado toast gets a twist from cactus salsa and fries come topped with chicharrones." - Josie Sexton
"Whatever rowdy undergrad magnet churning out margaritas by the gallon you might be picturing based on the name, Señor Bear isn’t it. The place exudes a breezy, even peaceful, charm, dotted with wicker lampshades and potted plants—and anchored by a wraparound bar that definitely doesn’t do bottom-shelf margs. The drinks it does do are as thoughtful, playful, refreshing, and bold as the contemporary Latin American cuisine from chef Blake Edmunds. In short, while Señor Bear can definitely start a party, it’s a classy fiesta all the way—not least during Sunday brunch." - Ruth Tobias
"This Highland contemporary known for Pan-Latin fare will stage the Polar Bear Express holiday pop-up, inviting guests to “hop aboard” a themed experience with Latin American–inspired drinks such as hot buttered rum, eggnog and spiced cider, plus whiskey shots served from a shot ski. The bar will also offer a three-course holiday basket of traditional Puerto Rican winter dishes. The pop-up runs from Dec. 2 through New Year’s Day." - Paul Albani-Burgio
"The menu changes seasonally and the kitchen is always running killer delicious specials." - Sophie Friedman
"The normal happy hour menu is worth checking out this week at Señor Bear; it features pigeon pea escabeche with plantain chips and arepas with pickled onion and braised pork." - Camila Navarrette
