During the day it’s pretty. It’s a great place for a brunch with your girls, take pretty pictures and what not. DJ nights are eh.. in my opinion, there needs to be more latin people 👀 it needs more latin music, if its meant to be a latin bar that is… skip the techno, skip the hip hop, rap.. stick to the spanish music. I’ve been there a few times just for dinner/ brunch and drinks, stayed for the music but this is not like Kasa, where you wanna be dancing all night long.

This place functions purely on vibes. It's cool if you wanna get some cute pictures for your instagram but the prices are really high for what you get and the food is just fine. Portion sizes do not reflect the price that you pay.

Bar Cala is a very cute and trendy place to check out with friends. Nice environment with great cocktail menu offering zero proof and traditional drink options. The outdoor patio is vibrant and the indoor space is equally cozy, entertaining and fun! Unfortunately the ordering process for food was a little disorganized and could use a better system in my personal opinion but overall it was worth checking out. It offers a tropical vibe for the rainy and beautiful city of Portland. I think this is a nice place to spend time with friends if you want a Latin inspired and fun sit down experience in the Alberta art district.

The brunch drag show was a blast. The food was fine. Who's doesn't serve coffee for brunch, and what bartender in a Latin restaurant doesn't know how to make a pinata mocktail? Go for the show but eat before or after. Also, it's VERY loud. The crowd's attire and tone was strip club for the frat pack. The restaurant decor says date night pink and brass, plants and plush booths, but the crowd looked like High School karaoke night.

Literally beautiful in there! Makes you feel like you’re somewhere else than Portland ! Maverick and Derrick KILLED IT amazing drinks , amazing service ! And food is BOMB the chicken tinga is so flavorful !
Nice bar and ambiance but $14+tip for an “Espresso Martini” that is not really a cocktail since the bartender just presses a button on a machine and hands the (tiny) glass to you is both overpriced and underwhelming. No real bartending work, no real cocktail, feels like the soda machine in a fast food. Come on Cala you can do better!
