The Best Home Bar I Have EVER Seen!

It's been a while but Barfly Freepour is back and we're super excited to share some videos of our travels with you. Today we visit The Saavadillo Cocktail Club here in California. Ownder by Film and Broadway producer Craig Saavedra we don't want to say too much about it as it's really all in the video but it is quite possibly the best home bar we've ever seen. Hope you all enjoy the episode!

Holy cow! You and Marius did a great job on this, Leandro! It was so fun having you guys in our bar. I learned so much from you. Come back soon!

[@nickentros]

Awesome home bar!

[@MG-sg2ci]

How do I get an invite? Awesome bar!!

[@ccoprls]

Mr. Saavedra, this is without a doubt the nicest, classiest home bar I have ever come across on You Tube! I love that you went with a 1920s/30s speakeasy theme rather than the safer "sports bar" theme with 20 TVs and football jerseys on the wall that I see a lot of. Nothing against sports bars, hell I frequent them on occasion. But what makes yours so unique is the details. From the B/W photographs, to the classic cocktail books, the fireplace, the elegant, but also comfy furniture with seats and tables, and last but most certainly not least, that beautiful bar and back shelf. You can see the love and care you put in to this. Great job!

[@filmsaavy]

@@ccoprls Why thank you, Mr Smith for your very kind words!

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

@@filmsaavy Kudos from me as well. Impressive work! I love the concept, the choice of colours, it just has a very warm and welcoming feel about it. And you seem like a great person to be around, so your guests must have a great time. Cheers!

[@StevetheBartender_]

This is an incredible home bar!! 😍

[@filmsaavy]

Thanks Steve! Love your videos! You’re welcome at the Saavedillo Cocktail Club anytime you’re in LA!

[@StevetheBartender_]

@@filmsaavy thanks Craig! I’m so keen to make a trip to the US once things return to normal!

[@filmsaavy]

Please reach out when you make it up this way! I’ve been to Oz many, many times and admire the drinking culture there!

[@StevetheBartender_]

@@filmsaavy it might be a while but definitely!

[@filmsaavy]

@@StevetheBartender_ Congrats on your new book!! Can't wait to read it. When you come to LA I'd be happy to host a book signing event at the Saavedillo Cocktail Club. I can promise some starry names!

[@martincarm5203]

In the process in building my own bar, nothing like this one!! This is the best home bar ever! Extremely inspired 😊

[@dkoppenol]

What an amazing episode. This guy is amazing and you were a boss with the tips. Props to him for even daring to make you a drink. Keep it up. What a stellar place.

[@fitzgeraldo95]

I'm really amazed with this kind of videos! Just seeing how much effort people put into making these bars and how they turn out is mesmerizing.

[@darkcoolcat]

What an amazing home bar Craig, you've put your heart and soul into building it. Wish you many happy years of enjoying it.

[@filmsaavy]

Thanks so much!!

[@boozeontherocks]

Fantastic home bar, and a really great piece. Thoroughly entertaining.

[@mattymulls9989]

That is a home bar that really transports you... not just from a location but from an era in time. Beautiful design and fantastic execution! I'd love to have an olde-fashioned (or 3) here!

[@Mickla]

The home bar is insane but jigger technique is fire.

[@jorgebushington6054]

Beeee aaaaa uuuuuuu tiful bar!!! Bucket list s&$t for sure👍 And the sweat equity part might be the most impressive part! Well done. So many things to admire love the bar shelves, mirror, and light. Love the fireplace and how it not being square plays well with the other circles. The wallpaper is perfect.

[@christinecamley]

What a spectacular home bar. Beautifully designed and I am so impressed with the art deco features and the how the home owner did most of the work on his own. You are so right that people get intimidated by cocktails. I am much better now at asking lots of questions and getting better as knowing what I want!! Terrific video tour Leondro!! Cheers!! :-)

[@sayoshinakamario]

Damn that bar left me speechless for like 10 seconds

[@bigj2345]

Outstanding! This bar is what I aspire to.

[@ggdail]

I love seeing the home bars, I especially love when they incorporate things like animatronics, secret passageways, etc. I'm sure there's more than a few awesome home Tiki Bars in SoCal.

[@Simphome]

Are you sure it’s a home bar? Awesome, man!! He’s so passionate on it, obv.

[@MileHighGrowler]

Super cool home bar. I love it! And really appreciated the guest's energy. He was so excited and that's what it should be all about. Made me want to get up and go make a cocktail!

[@fdk7014]

The wallpaper is spectacular! I like the roof too but I find it competes for attention with the wallpaper so I wish those two were in separate rooms. By themselves they are both lovely but they shouldn't have been combined

[@ShaneCopelin]

This guy is one of the coolest guy's I've heard of. He has an incredible sense of style and high attention to detail. Great job/video.

[@chandaharkins4418]

Beautiful bar!!! Wow! Love all the thought put into the details. Thanks for inviting us in.

[@ryanw1975]

ive come back to this video so many times, i relate to Craig so much as someone who loves to host and loves making cocktails for friends. not to mention having this bar at your fingertips daily is truly a luxury. absolutely love everything about this video its classic yet personal. 10/10

[@uptone12111]

Thats the best one I have ever seen-inviting-warm and well stocked

[@kevin1873]

This is definitely one of the coolest home bars I've seen yet. Absolutely beautiful. Well done.

[@mattvandorp6469]

My home "back yard bar" also was built during pandemic. 18x32 and have had 35 people in it for parties. Love watching everyone else bars and ideas, keep up the good work

[@walruss2617]

This is what I want to do for a home bar. This is the dream. My lord is it beautiful

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Absolutely love this- so much thought and love went in to the details of that space! This is Goals. Life goals and bar goals. 🥃

[@luluhall2013]

SWEET! His little slice of cocktail heaven is sooooo impressive! Major props for the hidden room and extensive library. ❣️❣️❣️🍹🍸Cheers to you for connecting with him!

[@patriciasouchik-stock7521]

What a great bar, and an amazing home bar!! It reminds me a little of Tarnowska’s American Bar in Venice.

[@Rcorp31]

Great and high production value here! Wow. Also, I spotted some gems on the gents bar (Widow Jane). What Leandro mentioned about helping people choose cocktails is grade AAA barmanship. So smart. So we’ll versed in service. I love all of the tips from this video. It’s the subtle nuances that I love focusing on whenever I have people over for cocktails. The shake. The pour. The glassware. The probing of questions. Also, this man’s bar is insanely cool. Love the nice touches of history and how he made it his own. Well done!

[@EvilTwinShell]

Cool! We all have our personal tastes… nice space!

[@will5430]

Inspirational! Love this content Leandro!

[@jzuany]

Besides the sofa, which probably he took from a swing house, the project is 10/10

[@julieriutta3047]

Gorgeous home bar; I'm especially in love with the fireplace! Would love to see some pictures of your "behind the bar" set up.

[@nslayton5]

Leandro's comments on people being intimidated makes a lot of sense. I'd love for him to go deep on that.

[@SoftClip_Q]

What an absolute legendary home bar. Hats off to you Craig. Your insanely talented and I love your passion.

[@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227]

Thats a brilliant bar well done looks like a nice place to be a little something for everyone Cheers 🍻

[@suburbohemian]

"Mom did the wallpaper"...and he's what age? I like his mom's energy!!

[@filmsaavy]

Ha! I LOVE this comment! I'm 58. Mom is 85 and still going strong!

[@sn00dmasterK]

This guy is so down to earth and enthusiastic about the craft, all the while showing appreciation and consideration of Leandro's advice. It is easy to surmise why he has succeeded in show biz affording him such amenities. Also that monkey lamp is terrific

[@garyhovey9305]

Wow that’s a super cool home bar/speakeasy 🥃 love his passion and enthusiasm

[@iiEdiTx]

great video, and what a charismatic guy!

[@edennis8578]

Wonderful! That fireplace is fabulous.

[@sullivanthemighty]

He managed to get the same wallpaper in Nucky Thompson's joint in Boardwalk Empire.

[@knelz804]

Just stumbled across this. What an amazing job he did. Both design and build.

[@coreykononchuk]

I wholly agree with this title; absolutely incredible! I've seen actual speakeasy-style bars that don't even come close to comparison on this level!

[@zdruck0717]

Wow, what a cool spot, that's the dream right there! Wondering if that false door is the entrance to another lounge?

[@freepour]

It leads into the kitchen and the main living room

[@Dan-z6b3d]

I was a house builder I love that fierplace

[@TheQuinto2010]

This has been one of my favorite bar/drink vids ever. So inviting, so historical and more importantly Soo inviting.

[@TriscuitsForDays]

This is such a cool series, but also what an incredible bar!! And such a good guy!

[@ketariel2203]

I can relate great to his story about mixing cocktails in the kitchen and ppl taking & laughing in the living room. This is sometimes unfortunatly but at the same time it is fun to host guest and making cocktails. Also ofc Great looking Home Bar! I love this series were you guys went and see other ppls home bars. Keep the good work up! =)

[@luceaschild]

More home bar tours, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was amazing!

[@joseperez1085]

Very nice set up nice work. It would be awesome if there was an area for so king cigars…

[@hedwighill]

This bar is on point. So many amazing ideas. I hate wallpaper, but now I'm rethinking it. Great job!!

[@kendallevans4079]

OMG.....I would spend every bit of free time in there!

[@peterverdon645]

What a great home bar!! Just fantastic. It’s nicer than a lot of regular bars I’ve been to

[@evsanger]

I'd love to have something like this in my home one day

[@gyangearon8729]

Dang, I'm only just starting to get into mixing drinks at home. Now I want to build a fantastic home bar like this one. For me though, it will absolutely a homey, Irish pub. I love the feel and vibe of a good Irish push, all the dark woods, art, nick nacks.

[@od968]

Lol at the most replayed double take. Amazing home bar and skill.

[@michaelalden5119]

My man is such a unit his energetic vibe is gold

[@DeanCallan]

This is really great guys, I don’t know why but I got particularly excited to see the camera man in the reflection of the mirror!

[@davidn8245]

This was super fun, love the energy and just the vibe of his bar. Also great hearing all of the advise. This Gentlemen is super energetic and would be a blast to hang out with.

[@31446963048]

Really nice job Craig. Has the right feel.

[@TheLeekos]

Savadillo comes from their surnames cute!

[@bmj4052]

Just found your channel. Great stuff. That bar is amazing. Subscribed and looking for more videos.

[@WhiskyWars]

Loved this! This guy has style, now I really want to make my own bar inside my home too!

[@chalkoneup326]

this is amazing. chilling on a weekend afternoon with this guy just trying out cocktails is probably such a vibe

[@leesmith3917]

that is the life . nothing beats that

[@solaris4015]

Retired, with a home bar and married to his boi ? Bro living the life.

[@canucklehead0]

What a great home bar!! I'd love to while away a couple hours exchanging stories over bevies in a spot like this! Well done, very well done!!!

[@riffism]

That is one HELL of a home bar. I can certainly appreciate the incredible attention to detail. Fantastic work. Oh yeah..and I'm a So Cal native...so anytime you want to throw an invite my way...

[@andreaspollis2274]

Absolute great seeing people being creative during the covid Saga. Myself included, I learned to make cocktails while in lockdown..

[@martinmedina9015]

GOOD FOR THAT GUY!!! MY WIFE AND I WANT TO BUILD A BAR BUT SPACE IS THE ISSUE IN OUR HOME. ANY SUGGESTIONS??? WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GIVE SOME ADVICE ON ALCHOHOL THAT I HABE IM MY LIL CABINET AND DRINKS I CAN MAKE WITH THEM?? I FOLLOW YOU ON KZbin AND ITS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!

[@sharonbeattie4008]

Wow, absolutely fantastic! Cheers!

[@aginsfbayarea7350]

Now, that was fun! In a million years I wouldn't have a home bar so amazing; however, I also started making drinks in earnest during the lockdown and I also learned so much watching videos, including yours. I saw this for the first time today and thus learned of your second channel... I know, I am way behind the times! Better late than ever, right? Cheers!

[@BigBoyGames-ke1hq]

The dude nailed it ...10 /10 bravo that man !

[@JonoMurphy]

anyone else notice the upturned mirror on the table? this guy knows how to party

[@mr.maga.2024]

😂😂😂😂that's funny his energetic attitude I was looking for it ❄️

[@jasonsullivan7296]

Awesome content !!

[@smokeytiki3185]

Great video, and really beautiful bar! I get that at my home bar, too, when people don't know what drink to order. I sometimes have trouble deciding what drink they would like to drink!

[@consumptionification]

Fantastic people , good taste , great hidden gem with unlimited coziness and privacy.

[@j777]

At the end, I thought you were going to say "that's the best Manhattan I've ever had" ;)

[@chadday4399]

Loved this type of video, keep them coming!!!

[@joakimnilsson261]

Oh wow!! Would love to be a guest at this bar! Very beautiful place.

[@ChristopherNeeme]

Northridge, alright I'm in North Hollywood, I'll be here waiting for my invite! I keep a recipe book of all the drinks I can make based on what I want to keep on hand and I just let people flip through it. That's the easiest way based on what people may like but haven't thought of with ingredients.

[@joeylantis22]

He's missing a beer tap! Maybe there is not room for it... AMAZING set up though!

[@g0mikese]

Life. Goals.

[@mickpwilson]

Very impressed indeed and Mr. Bartender/owner great personality and design.

[@CanadianMac2008]

This was so great! Amazing bar, love the details, and great interview!

[@randallfitzpatrick1666]

I have a home bar, but man this is a really nice setup. I really need to put in some work before having you swing by.

[@Urotsukidoji1]

I've never been so envious in my life 😍

[@Bubbles99718]

Love it. Such a great job and great vibes

[@tonyng3038]

Wow this is amazing. A lot of ideas I need to implement. Would love to see more videos like this!!!

[@diyapia]

Very cozy! Please advise on the wallpaper pattern name and company that prints it. Thanks!

[@filmsaavy]

Wallpaper is "Havana - Mahogany" from Bradbury & Bradbury.

[@diyapia]

@@filmsaavy Cheers!

[@sncollins2004]

Better than 90% of the public bars I've been to.

[@DaniTauzinHappyHourCrafting]

Awesome job! Love the new show format!

[@anonanon7235]

Okay this bar is really good. It's different from the typical "Irish Pub" inspired home-bar, this one is New York, 1920s inspired and you can clearly see the differences. If I were him, I would ditch some of the books. A real 1920s bar won't have books in it.

[@free_re_fells]

Wow this guy is true enthusiast!

[@turkey0165]

Don’t let the word get out or you’ll have Mickey O’Rourke and Faye Dunaway knocking on your door as in movie BarFly!👍

[@michaelgodek]

This was great! Keep these coming!

[@thomas_eder]

This is an amazing idea, looking forward to more episodes like this.

[@FiveDrinksOrMidnight]

Love this! More please

[@gregsoucie]

Wow. Craig! What a gorgeous home bar. We're looking at moving to a bigger place soon and I'm so inspired by what you've made. Absolutely amazing. Definitely the kind of space I want to create. Awesome job

[@filmsaavy]

Thanks Greg! That means a lot. I’ve been inspired by so many wonderful, intimate bars and am always reminded that the bars I love the most are the ones that not only focus on great cocktails (first and foremost) but that also create an atmosphere that tells a story and invites you to linger.

[@gregsoucie]

@@filmsaavy you've done awesome work. When you're travelling again, if you ever make it to the Toronto area, come by for a drink or we'll show you some of our finer bars. Again, a really cool spot you've created and my hat is off to you.

[@filmsaavy]

Likewise if you’re ever in LA!

[@PastaSauce.]

What a great guy and such a gorgeous bar! Wish I had friend like Craig 😂

[@TheMatthewcota]

Very cool. Loved the whole thing.
