Walking into La Bikina Bar, I expected a completely different vibe knowing it used to be the old…read moreLucky Irish Four--but what I found was a total reinvention in the best way possible. The transformation is impressive. Where you might expect remnants of a typical Irish-style pub, La Bikina delivers something far more vibrant, modern, and distinctly Ensenada. The energy is contagious, the music sets the tone perfectly, and the atmosphere feels alive from the moment you step in. What really surprised me was how well they've elevated the experience--great drinks, a crowd that actually wants to be there, and a layout that makes it easy to either kick back or join the party. It's one of those places that sneaks up on you... you stop in for one and suddenly the night has taken on a life of its own. If you remember the old spot, come with an open mind--you won't just notice the change, you'll appreciate it. La Bikina isn't just a rebrand, it's a glow up!

What a fun fun fun bar! Amidst all the clubs and bars on this stretch of downtown Ensenada, we came…read morein here because it was new and our local friends wanted to check it out. We came late night on a Saturday, the place was packed. There is a small bar towards the front when you walk in where they pretty much play electronic music, but keep walking to the back where it's a little bigger and you'll find a larger bar with lots of high tables and chairs spread throughout and not much of a dance floor. The music they play is a mix of EVERYTHING! What's really cool is that they play the music with the music video on their TV screens. So it's actually pretty comical and entertaining to watch some of these videos. Me and my group had a BLAST dancing and acting wild and crazy here without a care in the world! Because...that's what you do when you're in Mexico! I didn't purchase any beverages as our friends were always quick to grab the checks but I do know that their beers come in giant stein glasses!!! CRAZY! Great times!

I've been to Ensenada twice, possibly this establishment twice. It looks nice when you walk up to…read moreit, its got a large inside area and an outdoor patio. Bathrooms are available. There's food and drinks. I did enjoy the guacamole which was reasonably priced. However I would not recommend anyone go there, I hope people visiting read this review and decide to skip it. I've had many great experiences in Mexico and a few bad ones, this one stands out more than some. I prefer to drink cheap red wine, from experience I know that when you don't confirm the price you can get charged whatever. So at this place I made sure to order directly from the menu, I said what I wanted, I pointed to what I wanted on the menu, sure there is a language barrier, but not that significant. Wine was tasty, but nothing special. When the bill arrived I quickly noticed that my 150 peso wine was rung up at 370 peso instead. This was more than the price of everything else we ordered including a huge serving of guacamole and a shot of what was meant to be a moderately priced tequila. I alerted the person who seemed to be the manager that this had occurred, he briefly spoke to the bartender who insisted he had showed us the bottle of wine and we agreed to this one in it's place. This did not happen. I protested that it was not what I ordered and that I did not thing I should have to pay more than double for being given something I didn't ask for. He wouldn't budge, he knows there is nothing that we can do about it. There's really no choice but to pay, write a bad review and try to remember to avoid this at all costs on our next visit. I hate that it put a bad taste in my mouth for my visit to Ensenada. I just hate when people are shady on purpose. Go somewhere else where they have more integrity.

It's an outdoor wooden shack, no doors. we noticed it because there was a sign that said "beer" and we saw lots of people there. our host at the B&B told us we must try it before we leave, so we did. as soon as we sat down at the bar, a big tall gentleman came to greet us. he spoke perfect english and made some awesome recommendations. BF had a couple of beers (cant remember what they were, but i believe it was local), and because i wasn't planning on drinking more (we just got done with a small winery tasting tour), but Chris recommended i try the cocktiel de guayaba, its a bourbon cocktail with guava! It was only 40 pesos and if the owner recommends me.....why would i refuse? we were super hungry so we wanted something light and Chris recommended the pulpo ceviche (100 pesos). My drink was ridiculously tasty as i am a huge guava fan and the bourbon balances the sweetness of the guava with the liquor. the pulpo (octopus) ceviche was wonderful and delicious with just the right portion and served with thin tortilla chips. Chris was so kind and chatted with us almost the entire time we were there. i HIGHLY recommend stopping by here for a quick drink and light bite even if you are here to explore the wines in this wine country. my only mistake was that we came here after having drank so much already from visiting all the wineries!

When we wanted to pay our bill, he then said that he could not give us an itemized receipt and demanded $160. After much back and forth, he then magically said that the bill was only $140. This is apart of a larger scam to steal money from tourists. DO NOT GO!
