Nineteen61 owner Marcos Fernandez has a new rooftop establishment, Bar Vasco, with impressive views of downtown, set to open on June 1.
At Bar Vasco, patrons can choose between air-conditioned indoor or fan-cooled patio seating, with tropical foliage throughout.
Emerson Bamaca, Nineteen61’s beverage director, traveled the world to find unique food and cocktail options for customers.
Bar Vasco will offer both tapas, which are small hot or cold Latin dishes, and pincho pintxo small snack, typically eaten in bars, traditional in northern Spain.
Prices will range from $6 to $18 for food items, with fresh oysters the most expensive item.
Drinks from Bamaca’s extensively researched and tested cocktail book will run $14 to $25.
The priciest cocktail is the Luxury Old Fashioned, using Blanton’s Kentucky Bourbon from a single barrel Fernandez and Bamaca bought for Bar Vasco.
Bar Vasco will be open seven days a week and will offer evening hours when it opens.
