Bacio, a two-story private event venue, is moving into The Hardin at 720 K Street in downtown Sacramento, taking over the former home of Bailarín Cellars. Owner Annie Ware, who was born and raised in Sacramento, is aiming for a July grand opening and is lining up a mix of pop-up markets, wine and beer tastings, speakeasies and private parties to bring fresh energy to the block.
What Bacio Will Offer
According to The Sacramento Bee, Bacio is planning a calendar packed with parties and community events, including speakeasies, wine and beer tastings, birthdays and art shows. The Bee reports that the street-level floor will host more casual happenings like pop-up markets, while the downstairs level will be reserved for private bookings. Ware also told the paper she is targeting a July grand opening for the new space.
Size, Price and Booking
Per the Sacramento Business Journal, the two-story venue comes in at about 2,659 square feet. Ware told the Business Journal that rentals will start around a $500 base fee for the first two to three hours, with per-person packages ranging from roughly $150 to $199 depending on caterers, bartenders and service staff. That pricing is meant to cover staffing and event set-up for private bookings.
Replacing Bailarín On K Street
The space previously housed Bailarín Cellars' downtown tasting room until it closed in March 2025, the Bee reports. Bacio will sit among a cluster of well-known neighbors, including Kodaiko Ramen Bar, Darling Aviary and the former Tiger Restaurant & Lounge. The Sacramento Bee also notes that Bacio's Google listing shows the venue can host up to about 100 people and plans to operate from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Why It Matters For Downtown
Downtown has been working to draw more visitors and flexible gathering spots into the core, and the Downtown Sacramento Partnership highlights a mix of venues and programs aimed at keeping the area active. Their guide suggests that a mid-size, two-level venue like Bacio could help fill a gap between large civic halls and smaller bars by offering daytime markets and evening private events in one space.
