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!

While visiting Ensenada on a Carnival cruise, our group wanted to try a local restaurant and…read moredecided on La Taberna de Ensenada after seeing its positive Yelp reviews. We're glad we did! The restaurant is conveniently located not far from the cruise port, making it an easy walk from the ship. It was a nice open floorplan. The theme fit one of a mexican restaurant. The menu had a great variety of options, so everyone in our group was able to find something they enjoyed. The food was delicious, and the portions were satisfying. The drink selection was also impressive. They offer excellent margaritas, both blended and on the rocks, along with a variety of other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. We especially enjoyed trying the Mexican cola. What stood out most was the service. Our party was fairly large, but the staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Despite our group's size, our food arrived surprisingly quickly. If you're visiting Ensenada on a cruise and looking for a local restaurant with good food, tasty drinks, friendly service, and a convenient location near the port, La Taberna de Ensenada is definitely worth a visit!

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!
