Bacari PDR

Just steps from the sand in Playa del Rey sits Bacari PDR, a bright and breezy wine bar that proves these kinds of spots don’t have to be stuffy affairs. With natural light streaming in and a relaxed coastal atmosphere, this is the kind of place where you can kick back without pretense and enjoy a glass (or several) without anyone judging your wine vocabulary.

The real star here isn’t necessarily the wine selection itself—though they’ve got plenty of solid options—it’s the legendary weekend open bar deal. For $25 per person, you get 90 minutes of unlimited house wines, sangria, and champagne. It’s the kind of offer that turns a casual afternoon into an unexpectedly great time with friends.

Bacari is perfect for those who want a low-key spot to start the evening or spend a lazy weekend afternoon near the beach. The vibe is decidedly casual and fun-focused, making it ideal for first dates where you want to keep things light, or day drinking sessions when you’re not taking yourself too seriously.

If you’re looking for a sommelier-curated experience with rare vintages, this probably isn’t your place. But if you want a welcoming spot with great drink specials and an easy-going energy just a stone’s throw from the ocean, Bacari PDR delivers exactly what you need.
