Serenata

This bar has been such a standout ever since it opened! I still remember their ginormous cocktail menu, but am still very happy with their offerings now. My go-to has been the Venezolana, which has a base of a dark rum and a combination of tropical fruit. Don't be fooled, however, this is not a fruity drink! I love the balance and it's always fun to see the fancy ice with the bar's name in the middle.Don't sleep on their snacks! My fav have been their chorizo empanadas. The black bean dip is also tasty.Aside from what I consume, I ALWAYS leave feeling good about the service. Their bartenders are skilled and aren't overbearing. They always answer any questions I have or provide recommendations to friends. A really great team over there and I'm glad it's close enough to grab a random drink here and there!

I celebrated my birthday at Serenata with friends for an happy hour and we had a good time! Serenata is definitely worth checking out if you're around Union Market and looking for some good drinks and a great atmosphere. Here are my takeaways:EnvironmentSerenata is a vibrant, spacious bar located in the middle of a food hall. It's a beautiful space, full of character with plenty of seating at both the bar and surrounding tables to accommodate any group size. I'm glad that I decided to celebrate my birthday here - there was plenty of room for everyone to mingle and enjoy. ServiceThe service was great. The bartenders were friendly and made sure we were taking care of. They offered great suggestions for food and drinks and everything came out in a timely manner. We felt welcomed and appreciated. Food and DrinksThe food was solid but nothing especially memorable - but I'm excited to come back and explore more of the menu. The drinks were really good and got the job done for my birthday! It was a great night for my birthday. OverallSerenata is a great spot for drinks and a great place for me to celebrate my birthday. They have plenty of great drink options that I would recommend anyone to check out. I will be back to explore more of what they have to offer.

Serenata is a cocktail bar in La Cosecha Market. I visited with friends a few weeks ago before dinner for a friend's birthday in the neighborhood. It was a Saturday night, and it was packed. We waited for a really long time to order, searched for a table to sit with our buzzy thing that tells you when your drink is ready, and then waited for our drinks. We had about an hour before our dinner reservation, and we needed pretty much that whole hour to get and drink one round. I know they were swamped, but the service wasn't very friendly. The quality of the cocktails was good, but it's not a place I'd return to at a busy hour. Not the best vibes on the night we were there.

I frequent the Union market area and have never been to La Cosecha before until the other day and I'm so glad that I did. Serenata is a bar right in the center of the food hall. The decor inside is beautiful, pulling in influences from Latin culture. After checking out a couple of the options within the food hall, I decided to go with Serenata because the bartender was so friendly and they had chilaquiles on the menu (yay! I've missed these so much since leaving CA) Some of my favorite things about Serenata was, - the customer service was amazing. The bartenders and the owner were so friendly. I definitely want to make this my staple to go and grab drinks. - they offer a house mezcal shot that they pour into your mouth for just $5... you can't beat that and it's fun and tasty - the chilaquiles was good for bar food. I did wish that the tortillas chips were made fresh and they subbed out some of the tortilla chips for beans. I would come back and get it again though. Some other guests had the breakfast sandwich and it looked delicious too. - lastly, the guava mimosa was chefs kiss. How often do you get guava as a mimosa flavor ?? It was an immediate yes. Thank you to the team at Serenata and wishing you tons of success

I love this little gem in Union Market. Woman owned and they make the best drinks! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Cute bar in the middle of La Cosecha. Seemingly trendy, tequila martini was 10/10! Would love to return to see the space in the evening

We came here for a quick bite to eat before going out for the night and the chickpea empanadas were sooooooo good. I was so surprised but they were made perfectly and I think of them often ! I got some type of mojito wasn't really good but the frozen drink they have was a 10/10 it was really good. All bartenders were super attentive and kind the entire time. Definitely will be coming back , this is a bar so there is mostly bar seating but there are other restaurants and bars in the facility

Finally made it to Serenata and certainly wasn't disappointed. The cocktails are delicious, the snacks are tasty, and the bar seating and aesthetic makes you feel like the night is young and anything is possible. For snacks we ordered the chicken empanadas and the pandebonos. They were both good, but the chicken empanada was amazing. They have interesting rules that could affect your visit - you must be seated in order to sip on any alcohol. So, if you don't have a seat, you can't drink drinks with alcohol. It's probably because of the nature of the space the bar is located within.

Stopped by after dinner great hang out for happy hour. We stopped for drinks the bartenders were frienand they had a nice crowd. Next time we will try the food.

Review for the To-go alcoholic drinks being sold outside! This past Sunday, I was chilling with one of my girlfriends grabbing coffee around 1pm and catching up, and we kept hearing this great music come from the other side of the sidewalk. We saw this lovely person jamming to the music and just giving off great vibes, so we had to check it out! Turns out this wonderful person works for Serenata and was hanging outside selling their to-go alcoholic beverages so we had to try it!We got the Ciudad Paradiso (bourbon drink) - contains nuts by the way. Well, it was so good and just what we needed on this hot Sunday. Thank you Serenata! I will be back to try other drinks!!
