50 Best Cocktail Bars near Corte Madera

“Coming back to Marin from the Giants game on Sunday, (we won!) we decided to stop at Flores for an early dinner. Everything about the experience was amazing. The food, the service, and the ambiance was excellent. I am a fan of their carnitas! Cannot wait to come back.“

“We had brunch here on Saturday. The waffles are absolutely delicious! The eggs benedict was fantastic too. I should have taken pictures. I have been coming to this Nordstrom since it was built in the 80's. I have never eaten here. This place is awesome and I will be back as the menu looks fantastic.“

“Amazing food and wine, great view“

“Had such a great experience at Kona's! 🌺 The vibe is fun and relaxed, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The drinks were refreshing and well-made, and the food hit the spot with great flavors. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely a 5-star place I’d happily come back to!“

“Nice bar and really like the roof fan“

“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.“

“Fantastic concept, fantastic cocktails“

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

“Johnathan who was clearing glassware was very friendly and on top of his job and the bartender whose name I believe is Jake was great and very helpful with helping us choose cocktails we enjoyed! The live music was phenomenal, lively without being overwhelming. Shoutout to the guys at @magicschoolbusk on instagram. Definitely a must stop when your in SF.“

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

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

The cocktails are exceptional, creative, and expertly crafted, with plenty of options to suit different tastes. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and provide top-notch service that really elevates the experience. Whether you’re a literature lover or just looking for a stylish spot with great drinks, Novela is a must-visit! 📚🍸“

“We visited Blind Pig last night as a group of four and had a fantastic time. The concept of the bar is refreshingly original and gives the whole place a special vibe right from the start.

The drinks were outstanding - beautifully crafted and presented in a real special way. A big shoutout to the bartender, who did an excellent job!

This is definitely a place we’d happily come back to.“

“Fantastic service by the bartenders, delicious cocktails, exceptional vibes. We headed here for a casual afterparty after our wedding and could not be more happy with that decision. Honestly one of the best bars we’ve been to. Music volume just right, ambiance just right – 5-star experience.“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

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

“We stopped by this pub to find an incredibly welcoming bartender and amazing drinks!
The food did look really good, but alas we came after dinner.
I'm not kidding, when I say, these were some of the best cocktails we've ever had!!
Definitely recommend if you are interested in artisinal cocktails made with care (go somewhere else if you want cheap shots ;))“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent service. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. We ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, the classic cheese and bacon pizza, as well as the lasagna and carbonara. The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy and delicious crust. The pasta was cheesy and filling.“

“An amazing bar. Significant list of drinks, all unique and intriguing. A significant number can be made non-alcoholic and are delicious in that form as well. The staff is incredible (Paolo was great, as were everyone else whose names I forgot).

The atmosphere is wonderful, as is the food. Even the bottle list is fantastic if you're looking for something neat.“

“I was there last Monday with a friend. We were not drinking and we had a couple of sales and sides. Food was just okay, nothing special. But probably because we didn’t order anything special. Service was quite slow after they dropped the food. It took us a while just to get their attention for follow ups, and for the check it took quite a bit, then they made a mistake with our cards. The atmosphere is nice, and in a good location, and they seemed to have a lot of good cocktail options, but we were just not drinking that night. It felt slightly expensive for what we had.“

“I honestly don’t even know where to begin. From start to finish, it was the most mind-blowing experience I’ve ever had.

We met this beautiful, joyful woman named Luka, who was so kind. She sat us down at the bar, where we enjoyed some lovely drinks. They also gave us happy hour oysters, which were, of course, delicious.

Then we were seated at our table, where we got to meet the whole team. Each person individually welcomed us and attended to all our needs. Even the head chef came out personally, greeted us, and offered us items from the menu as a gesture of kindness—which, honestly, I don’t feel we even deserved.

The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was so delicious, and the flavors never clashed. I truly don’t have a single bad word to say. I can’t wait for them to receive their first Michelin star—they all deserve it.

I will definitely be coming back. Thank you to all the wonderful people for the hard work they put in—not just in bringing the food out quickly, but in doing so with love and care.

Thank you again.“

“I wish I had more time in town to really explore the menu. There were a lot of good choices.

The French onion soup honestly was the best thing we tried. I ordered the paella. The house made chorizo stole the show here.

They have a variety of specialty menu items including cocktails.“

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

“I visited here with some friends earlier this week and had such an incredible time exploring the cocktail menu. There are lots of interesting drink options -- some of them not for the faint of heart! -- and the vibe of the place is private-feeling, but welcoming and really beautiful. I think I talked the ear off the bartender, August, who was incredibly kind and super knowledgeable about the menu and beyond. Thank you so much for letting me try my first taste of zubrowka and for the excellent service and drinks, August! I'll def check it out again when I'm back in the bay area.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in SF when I used to live here and I still come and dine here when I visit. First, the decor has a beautiful serene green lush wooden nature vibes. The patio has beautiful views of the bay bridge and ferry building.
I always had very friendly service here.

I always order the chicken skewers, the fries, and the carrots. This place is healthy and clean eating, so I can see why some people see it as “bland” in their reviews but as someone who suffers from digestive issues, I absolutely adore this place and thank them for using sustainable and healthy ingredients whenever possible.

My only issue is they removed my favorite drink La Flor de Jamaica which was a hibiscus margarita that tasted better than a margarita more elevated and refined. And it was so gorgeous! The way the big block ice cub was infused with ingredients for the drink and the tangy rim and the color wow so beautiful. I absolutely love hibiscus drinks but most places use a syrup and hibiscus drinks really should be a dark red pink color and have that rich flavor but most bars I go to are never made like that until I came here. I mean look how pretty it looks and next to their cucumber cocktail! I asked them why they removed it and they said something about seasonal but they had it for a few years until they stopped and they continue to have the cucumber drink. You can see how passionate I’m about this drink! Also, they should bring back the flatbread which was a favorite among my family and friends!“

“This is a totally random accident. Wanted to go to karaoke but they were having a private show. Ended up over at Harlan records with a small group of friends. From the moment we walked in it was an amazing experience. Greeted by a very friendly bouncer walked into some dancers and had a Vibe all the way over to our chosen seats. The DJ was so amazing he kept putting mixes I never would have thought to put together and it was amazing shout out to Paul. Bartenders are great, the drinks were amazing and unique. Truly something for everybody.“

“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!“

“Awesome karaoke bar in Chinatown, SF! Definitely a Chinatown feel with the dim red lights & decor. There's a huge karaoke book to choose a song to sing. If the bar is full, they'd likely limit you to 1 song at a time so others get a chance. Space is small so it can get crowded. Loved the energy & atmosphere.“

“Tony is the fantastic bartender“

“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.“

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

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

“We grabbed a drink at For The Record while waiting for our dinner reservation nearby. I really appreciated the casual yet still upscale vibe, tons of seating, and helpful bartenders. The dirty martini we got was inventive and strong, and the overall experience was top notch.“

“Why wouldn’t you kick it here????“

“A lot smaller than the pictures make it seem. Vibe was decent and the bartenders were friendly. But feel very underwhelmed given what I’ve heard and read about the lounge. Drinks were decent for extremely expensive. Not much seating and it wasn’t that different from a hotel bar for the exorbitant price.“

“Great atmosphere, great service, great music mix, and live sports!“

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

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

“The Corner Bar is an amazing addition to Mill Valley. Their food is outstanding and so is their service. I love how they constantly add new and innovative items to their menu. Jason and his entire staff know how to take care of their guests and make everyone feel welcome. Weekends after dinner are a happening scene. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.“

“Very unique atmosphere! Great food and drinks!“

“I have been judging bar's by their old fashions, and if it's trash I would tell you. It's not, lol. It's really good, to be honest. The vibe is good, music seems to be Drake type lounge music. Mix of hip hop and pop. Overall it's a vibe.“

“Ok, ambiance 10/al gritty nyc rap vibes make be wanna work on my handles. Grandma pizzas are to die for the sausage and chopped cheese were amazing. The regular pies a little small but delicious the mauros molto meat was really good came out hot the volka martini was a little heavy on the olives“

“Terrific spot in Union Square, bordering Tenderloin. The bartenders are skilled and creative. We hosted an event here and it went swimmingly. Phillip, the head of ops, was outstanding to work with. Super responsive, suggested Kokio for catering and even grabbed it for our group.“

“Absolutely love that Harrington's is back! This used to be my favorite weekday happy hour spot when I worked in the neighborhood. Now it's my go-to for a proper Guinness and good vibes.

Bartenders are very friendly, and the pub grub is always great.
Favorites are their cobb salad, wings, rueben eggrolls, or the patty melt when it's on the menu.

They also have a killer wine selection, which I didn't expect in an Irish bar. The Andrew Will red blend is really good!“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Ambiance and Greeat "SideCARS".!!“

“excelente bebidas 👍 se los recomiendo yo lo voy a visitar cada fin de semana 😉“

Thank you April and Jean , will be back“

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

“I just had the most spectacular dining most spectacular dining experience here. The atmosphere was very fancy and the food was just delicious. The service was very pleasant too. One recommendation I have for this restaurant is to state what forms of payment is excepted here. I still had an enjoyable experience here though.“
