Laguna Hills, California is preparing to welcome a fresh addition to its dining and entertainment scene this fall, with the anticipated opening of Bardega, a unique bar-market concept. Situated at 24781 Alicia Parkway, Suite A, Bardega is expected to open its doors in early to mid-October 2023. The establishment is owned and operated by local entrepreneurs, Cory Danger and Matt Sharp, who aim to provide an inclusive atmosphere for both drinkers and non-drinkers alike.
Bardega will be distinguished by its blend of a bar, market, and restaurant, catering to a growing demographic that prioritizes healthy beverage options. As consumer preferences evolve, Bardega seeks to meet the rising demand for low-alcohol by volume (ABV) and zero-proof drinks. The menu will feature an assortment of drinks, ensuring that every cocktail will be available in non-alcoholic, low-ABV, or full-spirit versions, allowing patrons to choose according to their preferences.
In addition to its diverse drink offerings, Bardega will house a modern deli market offering food options curated by chef Kyle Anderson. Customers can expect a variety of grab-and-go items, including wraps, salads, and sandwiches, all designed to complement the beverage selections. This focus on convenience and quality aims to enhance the overall experience for patrons.
The interior design of Bardega is set to embrace a retro-inspired theme reminiscent of the 1970s. Both owners have meticulously crafted the venue to reflect a vibe that is both modern and nostalgic, creating an inviting environment for individuals and families alike. Bardega will be an all-ages venue, operating daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., with the possibility of extended hours on weekends.
The drink menu will also include a noteworthy selection of wines, highlighting choices from prominent regions such as Sonoma and Willamette Valley. Furthermore, patrons can indulge in local craft beers sourced from well-known breweries, such as Docent Brewing and Green Cheek. This diverse offering not only emphasizes quality but also supports local businesses, encouraging community engagement.
Prior to its transformation into Bardega, the space was occupied by Stefano’s Golden Baked Ham. The renovation promises to breathe new life into this location, making it a vibrant hub for social interaction and culinary exploration in Laguna Hills.
As the opening date approaches, excitement builds for what Bardega is set to offer—a place where both traditional and modern drinking and dining experiences converge, appealing to a wide range of tastes and preferences. With its inclusive approach to health-conscious beverages and a diverse food menu, Bardega is poised to become a staple in the local community.
