Great Pizzas and cocktails, Thursday, 10 January 2008

Written by Wolfbreezer   -  View all my reviews  - Top 10 Reviewer

Been there twice, nice cosy place with great pizzas, and spagettis.
Had a few swings of cocktails, all done up nicely.
Wish they had Saporro beer, it's the best Japanese beer....sad. Can't seem to find this beer anywhere in Dalian.
They only have Asahi, not my fav, no Kirin also....

Cocktails - Warning - Never try the Long Island Tea.... Just not right, no lemon juice, just a squit of freshlemon, so the taste is totally out....
Wished they had frozen magaritas, but the one served is good and strong..

General crowd would be japanese, and music played are also japanese ballads, I really don't mind, wonderfully soft, great for conversation. However, they do switch to english ballads when they see foreigners in the house.

Had a great time there, and definely would not mind being there again, service superb!! Oh and cheap too, really really affordable for a good feed!!

Bar Bacco - Desert, Thursday, 10 January 2008

Written by    -  View all my reviews  - Top 10 Reviewer

Went ther last nite for dinner with a friend. Like the environment though its a small place. Cosy. Nice to be able to see the chef at work while having our drinks. Food is good especially the pizza. Very thin crust (the way i like it). The range of cocktails is good. We had quite a few each. The Long Island Tea is not to what i've expected as they do not have lime juice around only a small slice of lemon is used. If you like strong liquor u might wanna have a good on that. Overall its a nice place to have dinner and chat with friends. Will definate go again soon.............

=============================

Went again yesterday. Tried the desert this time round and its...............ump............ the pudding is so.........soft and the rum n raisin ice-cream, it not too sweet. recommend to have a try.......

do not go if u're dying of hunger. u need to have patience to have a good dinner there as they cook everythings when u order. so it takes time.

Frank-san is always smiley n attentive. quite though. had a great time ther.

Bar bacco, Thursday, 26 April 2007

Written by kimwill   -  View all my reviews  - Top 50 Reviewer

Bar Bacco is my local. It’s in a Japanese-influenced area southwest of Lao Dong Park, near Dalian University of Foreign Languages, or DaWai. It’s a small bar (only seats 11) but it packs a lot of good things into its compact little L shaped room.

The boss and owner is Master-san, a dapper looking 30 something Japanese guy who can speak Good Chinese and reasonable English, if you press him. The bar help is a final year DaWai student called Frank, and he speaks great English, good Japanese, and is a friendly likeable guy. If you’re an English speaker it’s most likely that Frank will be the one to serve you and chat with you. Master-san mostly looks after the 99% of the clientele who are Japanese.

Indeed, Bar Bacco whisks you back to Japan. The same salarymen types sucking on their cigarettes and talking office politics, and the same exemplary service and cleanliness. I lived in Tokyo for 3 years and so for me it is very nostalgic to be surrounded by the rhythms, polite phrases, and body language of Japanese. I can speak a bit, but not really enough to follow the conversations. I just like sipping my draught Asahi and letting it wash over me. One warning however, the other thing that often washes over you in this bar are the billowing clouds of cigarette smoke. I’m not completely sure why it’s called Bar Bacco, but the to “bacco” link is certainly there.

And what of the wares? Well, for me the draught Asahi at 15 RMB a glass is good value as it’s a clean taste, a big glass and they pour the beer with a nice little head of froth. The cocktail list is extensive, and Master-san is a cocktail master. There are also wines and spirits and other bottled beers for sale, but disappointingly for a sake fan like me, Master-san only stocks one kind of Japanese sake (nihonshu). However, it’s a good one and I’d recommend it.

The menu is Italian, homemade by the master of the house. Antipasta, Pasta, Pizza, Salad, Panino, Dolce. All good stuff and you can watch the painstaking care he puts into making it as you have your drink. Very reasonably priced as well at mostly round the 30-40 RMB mark.

Highly recommended. Just hope there’s a seat when you get there.
