Best & Cool Bars in Dillon Beach

"While better known for its sit-down service restaurant, the El Dorado Hotel also boasts a small bar where you can take advantage of the excellent drinks program. On the bottle list, direct your attention to the sections for “interesting” reds and whites, where you’ll find Viognier, Roero Arneis, and Nebbiolo di Barbaresco. The cocktails are equally worthy of investigation, so don’t leave without exploring the entire menu, and then maybe stick around for dinner, too."

"California inspired farm-to-table cuisine make this restaurant a perfect representation of Downtown Sonoma. Their menu currently includes items like the beautiful beet salad and carbonara (shown below), but is always changing thanks to their talented chef, Armando Navarro. The interior of this restaurant is just as gorgeous as its food too!"

"El Dorado Kitchen blends sophisticated urban style with a relaxed wine-country spirit in a setting that is at once simple and dramatic, contemporary and comfortable. The restaurant offers a stunning stone courtyard for outside dining, a relaxing lounge with a fireplace for cocktails, and an...See More"

"Champagne, crepes, and the Eiffel Tower have always featured heavily in romance films, but you don’t have to travel to France to enjoy the French allure. The Girl and the Fig serves French delicacies right here for dinner in Sonoma. Their dreamy, open-air patio with draping curtains, fairy lights, and bohemian decor certainly adds to the experience."

"Outdoor: Open for takeout and outdoor dining Monday to Friday, noon to 9pm, and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 9pm. Reservations are available. Girl and the Fig also has outdoor seating at their summer pop-up in the Sonoma Plaza, first come, first serve."

"Chef-owner Josh Silvers named this place for his son and it does his boy good stead, offering consistent American food ranging from salads to burgers to wood-fired pizzas. The “Undecided” pizza, which requires the customer to trust the kitchen to put together something great, is always a happy surprise. The full bar area, set in dormer windows at the restaurant’s front and the lively crowd there make this a good first date meeting place."

"Masculine, romantic, and upscale, Stark’s Steak and Seafood is one of those places that consistently serves an impeccable piece of meat, every time. Steaks are Certified Angus Beef and dry-aged in-house, while a long list of sustainable seafood options, pastas, and hearty vegetable side dishes will keep even the non-meat eaters happy."

"Happy Hour and steaks are the defining nouns for this retro-meat palace, part of the Stark family’s Sonoma County dynasty of dining. Dark and masculine, the moody bar hosts happy hour Monday-Saturday from 3 p.m.- 6 p.m. with martini specials and a range of reliably fried and doused snacks."

"Legendary chef John Ash is no longer affiliated with this restaurant, but his statement as the 'godfather of Wine Country cooking' is still felt through the recipes, supplemented by ingredients plucked from the culinary gardens next to 92 acres of vineyards. The setting is special occasion, with white tablecloths, ornate fabrics, and romantic lighting, but the food is approachable, such as Mary's brick chicken with creamed garden greens and rosemary-infused smashed potatoes, or sweet potato-Bellwether Farms ricotta gnocchi with garden kale, and shaved Achadinha Capricious cheese. Craving even more delicious food?"

"With a beautiful atmosphere and sublime American cuisine, John Ash & Co. never ceases to impress its guests. The restaurant is situated in Sonoma County’s Vintners Inn, which is in the middle of a vineyard. The classic interior decor complements its outdoor terrace, which boasts breathtaking views."

"The place has a small bar area but it stretches to an open section with tables around the pool, and has a huge outdoor patio with a cool decor – the lighting up in the trees. The place delivers really good stuff – fine cocktails, nice bar food, billiards, sports on TVs and live music at weekends. It also hosts private events and organizes some of the greatest parties in the area."

"Whiskey Tip is a fun bar that’s always hosting different events. It’s hard to get bored here, with giant Jenga, a bean bag toss, and even a shuffle board on offer. They have a variety of seating, indoor and outdoor, and have hosted themed evenings such as silent discos and other dance events."

"V Sattui Winery is one of the places in the Napa Valley that you can have a pinic outside!. With Dean and Deluca right across Highway 29 and a marketplace at V Sattui winery, you will not go without the best snacks and tasty wine. There is a vast grassy area right out front perfect for a tapestry for you to layout."

"One of Sonoma’s few bars dedicated to mixed drinks, The Starling turns out quality cocktails from classics to originals, all featuring seasonal ingredients from a patio garden. With weekly specials like tiki Tuesdays, vinyl nights, and live music, there’s always a reason to stop by and see what’s going on, even if it’s just to hang with the exceptionally chill staff behind the bar. Check The Starling’s Instagram for the latest buzz, and do not miss the excellent patio on a warm summer night."

"Head back towards downtown Sonoma, but first stop for a drink and some live local music at Starling. This place has a New Orleans vibe and serves up “backyard-to-table” cocktails made with seasonal ingredients from their own garden. The menu is constantly rotating, but expect drinks like the Meyer Lemon Smash and the Li Hing Margarita made with Li Hing plum syrup and salted plums."

"In the industrial areas of northern Santa Rosa, just off Piner Road, there are several great craft beer spots. Founded in 1992, Moonlight Brewing Company is another mainstay from the original California craft brewing movement. Their tap room takes up a small part of their brewery, featuring 6 taps of their own beer."
