Tables · La Bandida

The bar, and the room upstairs

The first floor runs first-come, first-served. Walk up, order at the rail, find your stool. The loft opens with it, on the same terms — open seats and standing room go to whoever climbs the stairs.

Nothing is held, nothing is charged, and there is no list to be on. Friday and Saturday after 10pm fill quickly. Wednesday and Thursday are easier.

A table in the loft

Parties of four or more can hold a loft table for the night. The table is purchased — bottle service and a minimum, quoted when you ask. Yours from the time you arrive until the room closes.

Birthdays, closings, send-offs, and the nights that need a table waiting rather than a stool found.

A name holds nothing here

Wednesday through Sunday. Doors at five, noon on the weekend — both floors at once.

We don't keep a book. A name on a list costs the house nothing to take and costs you nothing to break, so it holds nothing — the seat goes to whoever is standing in front of it. That is the whole rule downstairs, and it is the rule upstairs for every open seat.

A bottle is different. Four or more can buy a table in the loft and it is held, genuinely, with a server on it and the mezcal bar behind it. Tell us the night and what you're celebrating and we'll quote it back.

How it works

Walking in is free and always available. Doors at five Wednesday to Friday, noon on Saturday and Sunday — the loft opens with the bar, both closing when it's done.

ii.

Reserved tables are in the loft only, for parties of four or more, and are purchased — bottle service with a minimum set by the night and the size of the party.

iii.

Ask by form or by text. Nothing is held until the house replies and the table is paid for.

iv.

A purchased table is yours from arrival to close. Unpurchased seats are not held for anyone, at any hour.

Buyouts, full-floor closures, and tasting menus: same form.
