The drink list

Everything we pour, with prices. Drinks only: we don't serve food, but Dametra Café is around the corner.

Menu items and prices are subject to change. Prices do not include tax or gratuity.

Vintage meets modern

The centerpiece is a restored mahogany bar lined with leather stools. Mustard walls carry art of the region, framed by beveled antique gold tiles and gilt mirrors. Above, an emerald ceiling and the amber glow of Edison bulbs. One TV, and the room is fully accessible.

Every BashBar guest is welcomed like family.

BashBar is a Dametra Group bar. Founder and CEO Bashar Sneeh came to the Monterey Peninsula as an immigrant from Syria in 2004 and built his restaurants on what he calls the Five Golden Keys: quality, value, service, integrity and consistency. BashBar opened on September 10, 2026, as a place where locals and visitors gather as friends.
