It’s always happy hour at Bacari GDL

Although they don’t partake in a traditional “happy hour” Bacari GDL offers a 90-minute all-you-can-drink that makes any time a good time for a little liquid relaxation. Find out more about what you should be eating and drinking below.


What are you Eating?

The Bacari franchise is known for small plates, or ciccetti in Italian. It’s recommended that you order a few per person, but it’s also a great spot if you don’t feel like eating so heavily.

My absolute must-haves include the Stuffed Cremini Mushroom with basil-walnut pesto and the Oaxacan Pasta.

The Bacari Fries with chef’s sunflower, roasted garlic, lemon, and smoked pepper sauce are a great idea if you want something everyone can eat freely.

If you’re willing to make a bit of a mess, The Bacari Burger resting atop a telera roll in a Worchester aioli is also a must-have. Spring for the egg on top.

Still hungry? Pizzas are perfect for groups. Choose between a Bacon & Double Cream Brie Pizza made with organic tomato sauce and fresh jalapeño or an Asian Pear and Brie.

Now, what are you drinking?!

Bacari is home to the 90-minute Open Bar , which includes house Red, White, Rose, Sparkling Wines, Mimosas, Bellinis, Sangria, or Bacari Beer for just $30 a person.

If you like cocktails, add $5 more to your budget and enjoy any 2-part well-liquor drinks as well. Signature cocktails are $5 on top of that, which honestly is a great deal if you think you might have 3 drinks.

How about Brunch?

Brunch at Bacari offers the same great menu items as dinner but with the addition of breakfast items.

Menu highlights include a Chef’s French Toast on brioche bread and a Sabich roasted eggplant dish with purple potato, dukkah, and eggs ($12).

Bottomless Bevvies are also available for 90 minutes of your brunchtime, and it’s not limited to Mimosas! Wine, Beer, Bloody Marys, and more are all up for grabs.


Final Thoughts

The indoor/outdoor flow of this place makes it great for groups and families visiting The Americana Mall at Brand. They also validate parking for two hours, which is just as much time as it will take you to have that 90-minute open bar 🙂 – although maybe you should consider an Uber.

The restaurant is open every day starting at 11:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on weekends. Make your reservations on their website.
