Best KPortal Reviews
The Vaquero Bar in Solvang is a must-visit spot for anyone who enjoys excellent fish and chips and handcrafted, old-fashioned mixed drinks. Not only is the bar food delicious, but the bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable about their offerings and use fresh ingredients in everything they make. If you're looking for a high-quality drinking and bar food experience, the Vaquero Bar should definitely be on your list.
Quaint, vibey little spot with lush marble counters and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was somewhat marred by a bartender who seemed to have more attitude than expertise. While the drinks themselves were decent, the service was lacking in warmth and efficiency, which took away from the overall charm of the place. It's a shame, because with friendlier staff, this could easily become a go-to spot for a relaxed evening out.
Just what Solvang needed. This place has it. Vaquero Bar is itself a great restaurant with small plates/tapas style with a lot of flair, from oysters, to fish crudo, prawns etc, etc. It's not like any bar food if I say so myself. Their cocktails are in the range of $12 to $16 but well worth it. I tried all of their old fashioneds, The Proper, The Silver Stallion (very tasty) and the Midnight Rider (with a punch) and repeated the la latest. They are all very good, wifey had the ring of fire which was strong but tasteful. Grab a seat at the bar and the have an all school vinyl player which you can go over their plentiful collection of vinyls and chose your own for the nights line up. Their cocktails are mixology type with local bar fleur, besides they close at 12 am. Nothing in Solvang opens this late. Everything closes right at 5 or 6 the latest. You must have to try this place, local beers on tap, awesome food and great service. You are in for an awesome party, everyone in there seems to know each other and you are welcome in to the party as if you were local. I'll be sure to stop by here anytime I'm anywhere near Solvang.
Don’t appreciate the server at the bar and racism on 1/2/24 around 8PM. I came into the restaurant open mined and happy. The server was speaking about me to the people sitting next to me. This made my friend and I very uncomfortable, due to this, my friend and I left. We noticed the people who were caucasian were being treated better than those who were not. We live in 2024, people should be treated equally. I don’t understand the reason why people get treated badly on the color skin they have. Will never come here again or recommend it.
My sister came home crying about the service she got on 1/2/24 around 8PM. The guy who was at the main bar treated her so bad. He was treating her so poorly versus others in the restaurant. I highly don’t recommend!!
Makes great cocktails. Beautiful space.
The only place in Solvang open past 10pm. Lively full bar. Very small, but has a great atmosphere. Bartenders are attentive. We love Gabi! Oh…they spin Vinyl, with a great selection to choose from. Solvang…after dark.
Brunch menu is fire. Make sure you say hi to Gus, the restaurant pooch.
