50 Best Cocktail Bars near Corte Madera

“The food was good. Not great. It was still an ok experience. We are very picky Mexican restaurant eaters.
Very family oriented.
Our server, Henry, handled us with care. We enjoyed the staff.

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely.“

“Had lunch here last week. I thought the food was great! We both ordered a salad topped with salmon that was great. The salmon was seasoned nicely. After the main course we had bread pudding and coffee. The coffee (for 2) came in a French press and was really, really good! It's the first time for me that a restaurant came to the table with a French press!The service was excellent. I really didn't know what to expect going to lunch here but was very happy with our choice. You can also see the mountains out the window.“

“We applaud all those who help PCH become Miracle @ PCH, it’s amazing!“

“Amazing food and wine, great view“

“One of the best tasting pizza I’ve tasted I highly recommend this place.“

“Went here on New Year’s Eve! They had loads of Christmas themed items which was adorable. The interior was beautifully decorated with lights and their music selection included Doja Cat. The staff were attentive and made very yummy drinks!“

“We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.“

“Feels like a hole in the wall cocktail bar, super cozy on the inside. Definitely recommend getting Pear Pressure, it’s fragrant and refreshing. The Linda Linda is spirit forward but also delicious.

A great place to stop before dinner“

“I can’t speak highly enough of my experience at Holbrook House. It definitely lived up to the anticipation. The deviled eggs with caviar were unreal and the martini cart service was excellent with the best blue cheese stuffed olives.

Kat was fabulous, friendly, attentive, and made my experience above and beyond. You’ll be lucky to get her table!

Thomas was wonderful and answered my touristy questions about the building and surrounding area of town.

Will be recommending to my local friends and visiting again next time I’m in town.

Dietary restrictions: They were extremely cautious with my shellfish allergy. Much appreciated!“

“Bring on the funny 😁 happy anniversary Lisa good times great atmosphere!!!“

“Stumbled into this pub after a show in the theatre district and experienced a rush akin to what the first prospector must have felt finding golden nuggets in the Sacramento Valley - EUREKA! We have struck gold!!

Bottle Club Pub really IS gold — killer cocktails, mouthwatering food, suave atmosphere, and reasonable prices. It’s almost too good to be true.

The rotating liquor shelf is the star feature of this lounge, and it’s incredibly mesmerizing to watch it spin around as the red lighting dances on the bottles. It was fun to watch each new group notice it the first time it moved for them — it seems a pretty ubiquitous experience that everyone enjoys watching it.

The decor is kitschy Americana but in a classic, timeless way — very Norman Rockwell-esque. It gives off a masculine atmosphere with a warm, sensual vibe.

The cocktails were excellent and sit around $15 (affordable by SF standards, for sure). The TL crush was bright and fruity, while the Plum Daisy was surprisingly robust. Plenty of options for cocktails as well as draft beer and a small selection of wine.

The real standout however was the food — the fish and chips were PHENOMENAL. They were incredibly crispy and dusted with a type of chicken salt that added a unique layer of umami. The fries were lightly battered (which I loved) and the tartar sauce had fresh dill in it.

The Nashville Chicken sandwich was about as authentic as you can find in the Bay — it was dripping in that classic Nashville sauce and had just the right amount of spice.

The service was excellent and friendly. They initially mistook my fish and chips order for a burger, but when they brought out the wrong dish they quickly made it right and we didn’t have to wait long at all for the right order.

Can’t wait to come back and try more things on their menu. We’ll be showing this hidden gem to all our friends for as long as they keep that cool rotating liquor shelf maintained!“

“Great cocktails and service, not a massive venue so would be perfect to have a cocktail party“

“Fantastic concept, fantastic cocktails“

“Tiki Bar with a definite 50’s vibe. Love the rum selection!“

“They have a lot of interesting cocktail options, and the atmosphere is good. I would say the drinks are slightly overpriced. That's my only complaint. I got the Arctic Elixir. If you're into anise and similar flavors, you'll like it.“

“Great cocktails and intimate atmosphere!
Ordered the Hemingway Haut Tottie, and it was delicious. My party also liked their drinks.
Place was clean, seating was in good condition, and the decor was very unified. Great for after work drinks or meeting a date for a quick drink. Good combination of booth, bar, and high top seating.
Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.“

“Historical significance with Jack Kerouac and very cool looking. Great location.“

“If you’re in the neighbourhood and are looking for a comfortable place to enjoy some top notch cocktails you can’t go past For the Record. We stumbled across this place and were very impressed with their cocktail selection. Fin Barry was our bartender and made us feel welcome as soon as we entered. Cannot recommend enough!“

“Nice bar and really like the roof fan“

“We selected Cable 55 for a pre-theater brunch, since it's about a half mile from the Orpheum Theater, and there are not a lot of other choices for Sunday matinees. We didn't realize that breakfast service ends at 10:30, and lunch service starts at 11:30. However, when we arrived shortly after 11:00am, the gentleman at the bar very kindly took care of us. He served us the sparkling wine we ordered, and even took our orders prior to the arrival of the scheduled server at 11:30. We really appreciated his help to make sure we had a pleasant experience. The lunch menu is a bit limited, but we all found something we liked, and everyone enjoyed their entree. Prices were to be expected at a hotel in downtown San Francisco. The server knew that we were headed to the theater, so he provided prompt, but not rushed, service. The restrooms in the lobby were clean, and we made it to the Orpheum with time to spare. We will likely return to Cable 55 for a future theater date.“

“Overall, good Italian food by SF standards. Not every flavor hit - there was no "dry aged" taste in the beautifully-constructed timballo, and "red wine braised" malfadini tasted way too much like, well, red wine. But I'd still come by to try more items on the menu.“

“Really love the vibe here! Love the atmosphere in the lounge area and always hope to snag a booth. House wine is decent, rotating taco trio and some good fries (with side of aioli). Staff have always been friendly and nice. A nice go to spot!

*tuna rolls - ask for more side spices to add a bit more of a kick*

**recent visit - added pics of the pork belly (yum!), potstickers and calamari***“

“My friend and I went here for the femme fatale: a film noir cabaret. The tickets were around $10-15 including tax and the show was equally short. Venue itself is fun although the surrounding area warrants vigilance. Drinks weren’t very strong.I do have to say though that the performance wasn’t up to par. I think that our star could have worked the room more. The script between her and the piano man felt disingenuous and it was not the “cabaret” I was hoping for. Imagine that with a silent bar that is full of people squirming in their seat. You could tell that they were enthusiastic about the theme and was hoping to engage or channel that energy into something. Maybe change the script to ask audience about themselves/thoughts about love and heartbreak instead of what is on currently.“

“The Food is good the service was great and the entrainment was awesome“

“Nice little cocktail bar, service is pretty quick and solid and the food is great, especially the nachos I was loving the flavors. The bar's crowd is interesting and a mix of everything. They were doing some karaoke at the front the night I went in, it was pretty fun. Pricing is attended SF but the kitchen is open pretty late which is nice“

“Why wouldn’t you kick it here????“

“Great service , great company, and of course…Great Drinks!!!“

“I recently visited this cozy bar and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, thanks to the colorful lighting that gives the place a fun, almost neon-lit vibe. The ceiling is decked out with string lights, which adds a festive touch, making the space feel warm and welcoming.

The décor is eclectic, with a mix of Tsingtao beer banners and traditional artwork that gives the bar a unique character. The bar area is well-stocked, and I appreciated the multiple screens showing different events, from sports to other entertainment, catering to a variety of interests.

The crowd was friendly and sociable, contributing to the lively energy of the place. It’s a great spot for a casual night out with friends or even for meeting new people. Whether you’re there to catch a game or just enjoy a drink, this bar offers a versatile experience.

Overall, this bar is a solid choice if you’re looking for a fun night out with a laid-back yet energetic atmosphere. I would definitely recommend checking it out!“

“Very unique atmosphere! Great food and drinks!“

“We had our last night at #Dreamforce Last night, and it was a great venue to relax and chill after a busy week at Dreamforce. Loved the staff, who made everything run smooth. They even had a coat/bag check, which was great to drop off those heavy backpacks that we’d all been carrying around all week. Highly recommend this venue for your corporate events!“

“My husband, myself and some neighbors walked over last night and celebrated a birthday with some drinks. One employee didn't seem stoked that it was busy but our waitress Christina was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, friendly and made me want to go back just to hang out with her! If you like gin the Crushed Velvet cocktail hit the spot.“

“Great watering hole in the TL, especially if you're early for a show at GAMH. If you go between 2-8pm, there is a lovely Korean bartender who will teach you Korean while you drink. Solid jukebox, clean restroom, and entertaining regulars.“

“Great cocktail bar. It was themed with "The Shining" for Halloween when we visited.

We got the Tony Negroni and Elevator of Blood. Both drinks looked and tasted great.

The bartenders were wearing red blazers with REDRUM pins, which added to the ambience.

Highly recommended for having a unique cocktail environment!“

“Once I am in this classy bar I feel I have walked into a jewel box - exposed brick as a backdrop to neat looking liquor bottles lined up in rows ; it’s a down to earth bar in what can sometimes feel like a very bourgeoise neighborhood. Barkeep is friendly and makes a good gin and tonic , and also Negroni! Love the Transamerica building opposite this place and try Italian Tricolor restaraunt next to this bar. And now the Veejus restaraunt is opening up next to this bar.“

“Food was really good and the wait staff was very friendly and helpful. Cute place. Good idea for decorations“

“I have been twice and so far everything has been delicious. I need to go back a few more times to try everything on the menu. Don't forget to save room for dessert. The cocktails are fantastic.“

“Thank you, Le Petit Paris 75, for welcoming the Richard Crook trio to your delightful club. Always a friendly atmosphere, amazing cocktails, and awesome music line ups!“

“Tony is the fantastic bartender“

“A must stop when in the area. Nothing fancy, dive bar feel, but always a good time.“

“Beautiful place for a date, especially if you don't want to eat much!
Portions are small and pricey for what you get, but that's what you get in SF in the city.
The food was delicious, don't get me wrong but small. 25 dollars for 2 chicken skewers with no side, just 2 small peppers. Tuna tartare was amazing!!
Atmosphere was beautiful!
Great for a first course!“

“I really never have enjoyed tasting menus….but Tiya’s tasting menu fully changed my opinion on them. 4/6 dishes were things I probably wouldn’t have ordered on a regular menu so getting to try these dishes was a treat. We supplemented the tasting menu with the chicken gushtaba and the shrimp. They were both so good but the gushtaba was outstanding….Think a chicken meatball in fondue.
Everything was a flavor bomb and I would definitely come back“

“good food, good drinks and good attention I recommend 😋“

“An excellent bar attached to the hotel Kabuki (you DO NOT have to be staying at the hotel to enjoy the bar), staffed by the kind of bartenders that are natural mixologists and able to just sort of innovate their way to an excellent drink on the spot based on vague descriptions.A great collection of Japanese inspired cocktails (try the umeboshi!), using some solid spirits you might not have tried beforeNote that these cocktails are not Instagram material, they're all flavor with subdued visuals, which honestly is the best kindDon't sleep on the mocktails either, they know how to make a great one of those too.“

“Ambiance and Greeat "SideCARS".!!“

“Swing and early jazz! Not many places like this anywhere.“

“Chesty’s is a hidden gem! Located atop the Marine’s Memorial Club Hotel near Union Square, this bar & restaurant is casual and just really good overall. Food is tasty and reliable (they have gluten-free options!) the service is friendly and efficient (Maribel was sooo sweet!) and the view from the 12 floor is wonderful! Complimentary happy hour for hotel guests as well as buffet breakfast!“

“Great place to visit and visit again.. one of the places where the days of old are still felt as soon as you walk in. Great service and they make you feel as if you belong..a must see when you find yourself in San Francisco's North Beach.“

“I've visited this place and I have a regret not making the right move to meet a nice lady who's approached me really nice and gentle. I wish there's a second chance. I feel sad about it...Bar and music were really good and a nice bartender“
