The Pesky Patriot
5 years agoBest new place in Solvang! Go no further thirsty patrons, you will not be displeased. Soup of the day was Whisky with Ice Croutons I think. 9/10
Guillermo Kopp
5 years agoDelicious food, great atmosphere and amazing drinks. The artichokes are extraordinary, I’ve never had any anywhere else that were so spectacular. The Meyer lemon tart is worth going out of your way to try!

5 years agoStopped in for a drink the morning after their grand opening. This place is great! Andrew was super cool to talk to and gave us a sorry history on the town and some great ideas for wineries in the surrounding areas to hit up. We will definitely be back in the next time we are in Solvang.

5 years agoAmazing!! The mixologist created some wonderful, refreshing cocktails. The food was incredible! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The fish and chips were to die for. The fish was the most tender and moist that I have ever had, and the batter was just the perfect flavor and crunch to make me wish there were more than 2 pieces of fish!
Tony Vallejo
2 years agoThe 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.

5 years agoJust 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.

3 years agoThe 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.

year agoThis is such a great spot in Solvang. Bartenders are awesome and friendly. Drinks are always spot on, and the atmosphere is fun, lively and welcoming with a mix of locals and visitors. We visited during the LA fires like many and found our new favorite bar in Solvang. 🤘🏼 You had me with the albums spinning and black and white photo of Dolly 🔥
