About Bar Sala Abbotsford | Restaurant & Vinyl Bar

Abbotsford regulars treat this Mollison Street spot as a midweek reset—and rarely leave when dinner wraps. The layout handles the whole night: start on the dining side over baked rigatoni or rump steak with shoestring fries, paired with a gin mare martini. From there, slip next door into the music room where selectors spin vinyl late, ending on warm sugared donuts with lemon curd.

  • Dedicated Vinyl Lounge: A dedicated lounge separated from the dining room features resident DJs spinning vinyl records well past dinner service.
  • Comfort-Driven Menu: Straightforward kitchen offerings centered on baked rigatoni, rump steak with shoestring fries, and crafted martinis.
  • Midweek Antidote: A neighborhood favorite for steak and pasta nights that make unwinding after work effortless.
