KBar opened April 26 and is the newest venture on K Street, which has steadily grown as a nightlife district over the past year and a half.
The newest venture of local restaurateur Randy Paragary, KBar is connected to what will be the fourth Cafe Bernardo in Sacramento, and patrons can order from the Cafe Bernardo menu.
Located at 1024 10th St., the combination KBar and Cafe Bernardo replaces Cosmopolitan Cafe, which Paragary Restaurant Group spokeswoman Callista Wengler said wasn’t hitting its mark.
“It was a large space, and it never looked full,” she said. “Now that we’ve split it up, we’re catering more to the neighborhood.”
Well drinks and domestic draft beers are $3, and during happy hour, from 3 - 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, they’re $2.
The bar has a casual urban feel, and Wengler said local artist Shawn Burner did the artwork throughout, which gives the space much of its ambiance.
Approximately 60 people can sit at the mix of booths, high tables and the bar, and the wall fronting K Street opens to a railed-in patio.

and Ben, they do have lower start-up and overhead costs along with being cash and carry....
Imagine having a brick & mortar business anywhere within a Business Improvement District...say within the confines of the Downtown Partnership BD, Midtown PBID, Sutter BID.....like perhaps, Randy. All your patrons are paying a surcharge because of those "districts" but yet a mobile vendor can roll on in and out....cash in hand....and not contribute to that area's maintenance.
Now, there is an exception, Drew's Republic on 15th St....places him in the DTP boundary....but his mobile operation still allows him into all the other BID's.
I think that is part of the discussion that needs to occur in the permitting process.....contributing to the established business areas in which you are "permitted" to work in.
Here's a thought, we already have a mobile night club...or at least a piano bar....imagine if our friendly purveyor of the Acoustic Sanctuary was allowed to morph into the Acoustic and Libation Sanctuary ....do you think some of the other bars would have a problem with that?
