Best & Cool Bars in Bodega Bay

"The latest chef helming the kitchen at Spoonsbar, h2hotel’s restaurant, Matthew D’Ambrosi, takes his Northern California roots seriously. While the avid fisherman is known for his daily catch and Wednesday night fried chicken special, his tribute to Monterey’s quintessential thistle is one of the few you’ll find regularly in Sonoma County and certainly the best. Served on a bed of lemon tarragon aioli with pine nuts, olives, parmesan cheese and briny capers, Spoonbar’s artichokes are sourced from a farm in the East Bay."

"Almost too pretty to drink, this refreshing cocktail is a mod take on the classic gin fizz. The aromatics of the gin, cucumber foam and fresh mint play off the drink’s citrus notes of yuzu and lime. Sip while people watching those on the street, thanks to Spoonbar’s open-air and garden seating."

"Spoonbar is located inside the h2hotel and is known for its approachable and delicious California cuisine. I love their burger with their secret sauce. They also make great cocktails that spotlight locally produced spirits, fresh herbs, and fruits grown by their own neighbors."

"If you're craving Barcelona tapas like boquerones, creamy chicken croquettes, and local sardines in black olive ink, this fashionable dining room and bar from chef Mark Stark will do you right. Set in a chic cottage, the boisterous spot offers specialties like fried pig ears, a ham-and-cheese bar, and signature gin and tonics such as the Levante of Hayman's Old Tom gin, orange, saffron and cardamom."

"These skinny sandwiches have been a staple on the menu at Bravas Bar de Tapas in Healdsburg since its opening. It’s a traditional Spanish tapas sandwich filled with Spanish ham (jamón), truffle paste and manchego cheese. Served with spicy peppers as a garnish."

"With it's classy ambiance, Charlie Palmer's Dry Creek Kitchen is fancy indeed, a special night out sort of restaurant. Palmer is the Michelin star chef responsible for 14 top notch eateries and Dry Creek Kitchen inside the Hotel Healdsburg is elegant and refined, with surprisingly decent portions. What's Good: Monday -Thursday opt for the Sonoma Neighbor menu, a fixed price ($36) three course meal, add wine pairings for $18, or go large with five courses ($79), add wine pairings for $48."

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."

"Stout’s offers you a typical American Irish pub where you can enjoy fine food and great drinks. At nights it turns into a dance club with a DJ, live music or karaoke and the atmosphere is pretty good. You shouldn’t look for a place to sit, because when the music is on, they take everything away, even chairs and tables!"
