Bar La Playa

food drink

The low, wide wooden doors at Bar La Playa open directly onto the sidewalk, exposing a dim room that smells of lime, salt, and cooling beer. This is one of the few neighborhood spots that has resisted the polished, upscale renovations defining the rest of the street. It operates on a simple principle: cold bottles and a radio playing low. In nineteen sixty-eight, a local fisherman named Beto started selling beer here to his friends after their morning shifts, and it never changed.
