Great place for tapas style meal in Traverse City. Taste and presentation are great. Drinks are good, plus non alcoholic options.
One confusing thing is that we only got new side plates once, but not after we had the bravas which has a spicy sauce so then every shared item thereafter had said sauce which sort of detracted from it.
Also, the food came out fast, like almost too fast. Most likely bc we came on a non-busy night (only 5 tables were full) so the kitchen was able to get to all our ordered items super fast but almost felt rushed. Heard the other table next to us say the same thing to their waitress. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes.

It’s about time TC had a tapas restaurant and this didn’t disappoint. If you’ve never had tapas or are intimidated by the menu, do not let that stop you. We had a party of four and had many of the tapas options and none disappointed. I highly recommend the goat cheese with honey and the pork belly. We will definitely be back to try more options.

Incredibly authentic and delicious tapas experience! We went for a special birthday dinner and focused our meal on tapas.
There were two of us and we had the Bahia Board and added the chef cheese & chorizo, the Bravas, Albóndigas (meatballs), tortilla española (omelette), champiñones (mushrooms & chorizo), and the gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). It was a delightful meal and we couldn’t decide what we liked best! We definitely had more than enough food as the servings are a decent size and we had left overs. Awesome spot and can’t wait to come back!

Nothing like it in TC. Due to the server shortage we were waited on by one of the owners. We went with a group of friends and ordered and ate what felt like everything a plate at a time. Strongly suggest their charcuterie board, Spanish crème brûlée and a sangria. The white wine, lemon, strawberry and basil sangria was refreshing. One of our dining companions had been to Spain and said the new flavors and dishes were spot on.

Welcome to Bahia home of Tapas and drinks. The female bartender makes amazing drinks, however she most likely does not know the golden rule. Never over ice the first drink that comes out to the table. Most likely not her fault as this usually is management.
The food is amazing, the chef even came out and asked us how it tasted while looking for unsalted butter for his kitchen. Just remember this is not a place to come eat dinner. This is a place to enjoy drinks and eat lots of tapas. Consider a Tapa to be the latin sized sushi. You never feel completely full from eating lots of small plates of food. Yet at Bahia the food will be served on a large plate with a nice sized portion.
Hours of operation? Considering staffing in town go on a Sunday. The parking is free directly in front of the restaurant located on 127 S Union Street, Traverse City, Mi
Last kitchen closed at 10pm and the bar only stays open based on patrons.
We ate very light and averaged 30 per person with one cocktail each.

Excellent food! We had the veal + pork meatballs and arugula salad for appetizers. The flavor is incredible.
The beef filet was AMAZING! And drinks were perfect. We’ve been here a few times and would recommend it.

I guess the new thing is the microgreens the food was very good, very tastefully done. The Grenache was delicious although the Margaritas fell a little short. The tapas were beautiful and delicious.

Great new place in town. The menu is eclectic and we found some great options. We had the cod with jalapeño slaw which was magnificent. Also we tried the croquetas and Al pastor. All was great.

Attention all foodies: nobody paid me to post this. The best food in Traverse City! Better than the Spanish Tapas that we had in Spain! An explosion of flavor in each bite! Thoughtfully crafted flavor pairings, delicious cocktails and five star service from our server Laura. We will certainly come back to TC just so we can dine here again.

The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. Presentation was picture perfect. We had the Manchego, Pork belly which was crisp on outside and melt in your mouth on the inside, Octopus was tender, and we finished it off with Bunelos which are made fresh when you order and come out warm rolled in powder sugar and sitting in a bed of Carmel. I would definitely recommend Bahia.
