I love coming to Bacari on Third Street! I think I’ve been here three times over the last few months with my friends for lady dates and celebrations. The food is exquisite, the wait staff are attentive, my lemon drop was perfect and the service was stellar! It’s candlelit and cozy, with an outdoor patio ambience hard to find in LA, and you must enter through a tunnel to get inside. Intriguing, right? 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Denson Aldahl ✨Great happy hour too! Girls just wanna have fun-un and with a gem like Bacari, you won’t have any trouble.

What a way to celebrate not only reuniting with my little brother after 46 years all the way from the Philippines, but also celebrating my being 68 years young! We love coming here to celebrate special occasions. It was a treat for my brother and most of all, it made turning 68 way cool!
