Tinto Bar de Tapas looks good in yellow and red

The sign is up and the yellow and red (tinto) atmosphere of Tinto Bar de Tapas is very inviting. It is located at 1581 Bayview next door to Badali’s and will be open soon. The owner is Otta Zapotocky, restaurateur and sommelier who is already established on Bayview at the French bistro L’Avenue.  As we wrote a week or two ago announcing this new spot, Otta will no doubt provide the same genial presence and sommelier skills at his Spanish bar. Hours of business of the new bar will be somewhat different from L’Avenue. Guests are expected to linger into the evening a little longer at Tinto Bar Tapas although it will also be open for brunch. It is a welcome addition to Bayview Ave. and will bring additional life to the east side of the street.  These pictures were taken Saturday night by The Bayview South Bulldog and we’re betting you can have a splash of wine there within hours.
