Bienvenidos!

Bar Siesta is a Spanish tapas & wine bar & culinary shop from Heather Sperling of Botanica and Lucia Flors and Carlos Leiva of Siesta Co.

Our all-Spanish beverage program celebrates Spanish wine, vermouth, sherry and cider; our tapas menu references Spanish cuisine, while being rooted in seasonal Californian produce and exceptional West Coast products. In our market, you’ll find the full line of Siesta Co. conservas alongside an array of artisanal Spanish pantry items, cheese and wine.

Bar Siesta is inspired by a love of Spanish gastronomy, hospitality and conviviality. Our warm, lively space is filled with design elements from Spanish artists and artisans.

Join us for vinos, tapas, conservas, vermut y más!
