9 Best Cocktail Bars in Sonoma

“Love this for morning coffee and pastry outdoor sidewalk tables“

“A watering hole for the locals, it's a charming place with a jukebox to select your music. Dan, the bartender, is a nice guy who can provide a helpful ear if you wanna unburden yourself. Dan also makes a mean blood mary, which is described as the best in town on the directory board. I agree with that ad, twas a bloody good bloody mary ! You get a shrimp with it !!!!It's a small place with about 3-4 booths and easy to miss when walking in Sonoma downtown. We found it only coz it was 9:30pm and this was one of the few places open. FYI, its open till late night. Preferably, walk to this place.The locals are friendly and provide good stories you can sit and provide half an ear to when watching basketball or ice hockey. If you are interested, you can even watch star trek TNG.No food is available here though except for packaged chips. But deftly a lovely place to end your day at.A for sure return visit for me next time I'm in sonoma downtown.

Parking: Parking is on the street around the town square which can fill up pretty quickly. And its only a 2-3 hour parking.“

“I took my nephew to have lunch at the water tower bar. We had the best time. The bartender Dylan was amazing. The food was great. He made me feel comfortable about what was safe to order with the baby’s allergies.
Mariana the server was so kind and playful with my nephew. Great environment, good service, yummy food .“

“We stayed at the Lodge at Sonoma for my son’s wedding. My son invited me to breakfast here for bottomless mimosas and an amazing breakfast. Loved the Hispanic flair on the breakfast options. Delicious. Also stopped for some appetizers in the afternoon and they were very good. Staff was very friendly and attentive.“

“This is quite a special beautiful restaurant and bar connected with the MacArthur Place Hotel. The
garden porch, surrounded by flowers and trees, is relaxing and rejuvenating.
The staff—from parking and hotel crew, bartenders and servers—are extraordinarily friendly, kind, and competent. They are proud of their work and seem to really care and enjoy their customers.

The Mon and Tues Smash Burger Special is excellent. The cocktails are beautifully crafted and there are nice wines available. The food is consistently tasty and creative!

Amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Sonoma. I find this place an oasis of calm, beauty and peace. As a former Manhattanite, I’m thrilled by the special “scene” at Layla!“

“Beautiful property. Very nice suite rooms. Recommend this hotel for a visit in Sonoma.“
