50 Best Cocktail Bars near Corte Madera

“Flores has come up with excellent new vegan items recently. We came with a party and they had created a pre fixe menu for us. Everything from the chips and guac, oyster mushroom ceviche to the veggie bowl and beyond meat parrillada was very flavorful, fresh and generously portioned. Ask for the vegan menu!“

“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“

“Arrived solo while waiting for a mate and was instantly looked after by the lovely bartender & manager—genuinely great chat and brilliant drink recs. The “punch special” is chaos in a glass (a mix of whatever’s going—but cheap and fun if you’re brave). Music was random, the pool table was lively, and people were even sending drinks to strangers, which gave the whole place a buzzy, friendly feel. It’s the perfect mix of dive bar energy with proper service and solid drinks. Not polished, not trying to be—just effortlessly cool. Definitely worth a visit, and I’d happily go back.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I work nearby, and finally had the opportunity to stop by and have an early evening cocktail. That was the best French 76 I have ever had! The bartenders were friendly and engaging, the music was interesting and fun, and sparked conversation between a few of us strangers at the bar. I love the atmosphere and decor; I think I'll be making more regular stops for sure!“

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

“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.“

“Hands down the best cocktails in SF and def one of the best in America.

Love the beautifully curated menu and what it had to offer. Heavily influenced by Japanese ingredients hence offering a very unique menu of its own.

Cocktails were extremely well balanced with flavours, aroma and umami. A sip of The friend of a friend of a friend was no different to eating a bag of toasted chips with its long lingering smoked aroma. Insanely good.

Will definitely go back for the Japanese bites or even the Kaisei don.“

“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😃😋“

“Nice bar and really like the roof fan“

“The atmosphere was great, but the real standout was the bartender Dmitry. Friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about their craft — every drink was perfectly balanced and served with genuine care. He made the whole experience more enjoyable with great conversation and thoughtful recommendations. Easily the best service experiences I’ve had in SF.“

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

“Fantastic concept, fantastic cocktails“

“Novela is such a great spot. The library-themed decor is super cozy and gives the bar a really intimate, laid-back vibe—perfect for a chill drink that can easily turn into a longer night. It feels stylish without trying too hard.

The drinks are amazing, especially the punch-on-tap flight. Fun flavors, generous pours, and definitely worth sharing. Easily one of my favorite bars in SF and a place I’d always come back to.“

“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.“

“Sorella is one of our favorite restaurants in SF. We're moving out in March, so we had to come back to it one last time, and, as with all the other times we have been there, it did not disappoint. 5 star service 5 star food and drinks 5 star setting What more could you ask? Shoutout to Jocyln for bringing us an extra treat at the end of the night and for being a great waitress. :) Timo“

“We always enjoy our meals, or happy hour food there! It's a very good value for the food quality. Great menu variety, too, and great drinks! Service can be just a little bit slow, (with one person running the bar and Boardroom sometimes), but server is very good, friendly and competent - it also reminds you to slow down and relax 😀“

“H a wonderful evening at Holbrook House with friends. Great food and amazing cocktails. We tried the martini cart and the champagne cart (for dessert). Katie and Adriana gave us perfect service and Marco gave good champagne advice. They made the experience feel elegant but so warm and easy. We cannot wait to come back. It felt like old school San Francisco; upscale, but for the people. Highly recommend this place.“

“Super friendly bartender (Esau, what a great dude) made our visit to „For the Record“ very special. We tried a bunch of his cocktails and they were all incredibe, then were invited to a round of shots (even though I almost broke a glass twice haha). Will definitely recommend this place to other people. Super chill music too, and they have live acts too. Thanks Esau!“

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

“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.“

“We had a wonderful time here. Even though we were in a hurry, everything came out quickly and was delicious. We ordered the eggplant baba ghanoush, which was incredibly flavorful and served with warm, fresh pita bread. The steak skewers were another highlight—so tender and perfectly cooked. The service was great, and the staff were attentive. The atmosphere was beautiful and festive, making the experience even better.
If I could suggest anything to management, it would be to add a few more specialty non-alcoholic drinks, some hot beverage options, and a wider selection of desserts. Overall, though, we really enjoyed our visit and would happily return.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Why wouldn’t you kick it here????“

“Amazing local bar/club venue for some really good DJs (all genres of house) to fun karaoke nights (Weds and Sun). Bartenders here are friendly and super nice and the decor/vibe of the place is really special. They curate a really diverse range of nights and rarely a cover, highly recommended. Sound system is top notch.“

“Marcus & Aliah are two of the best. I frequented here for several months in 2023. This is a good bar for meeting people, with good music and cocktails. Juan, the owner, is sometimes here and very hospitable. The bartenders know the house cocktails, which are batched and quite good. There is a DJ playing on most weekend nights. They have recently had renovations which turned out quite well.“

“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“

“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.“

“I googled “swankiest spot in the city” and this popped up. I figured, I got paid this week, what the heck, sure! I made my way upstairs and secured a booth seat, instantly greeted by some lustful tunes and silky mood lighting. The cocktails are absolutely divine! They didn’t even ask me to leave when I clearly had one too many. Can’t a woman crank that soulja boy on the dance floor anymore?! Huge fan of this establishment and the gorgeous staff (hello muscles!), will be returning with more members from my dance team.“

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

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

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

“Very unique atmosphere! Great food and drinks!“

“Had the speakeasy vibe. Dimly lit. Period decor. Good service and drinks.“

“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.“

“Ambiance and Greeat "SideCARS".!!“

“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!“

“My wife and I like Mac's. It's a special place for us. We don't go there a lot, but that's not the point. It's there. And it's waiting for that night when we want to see a good band, dance and have a fun night out. We've seen some great bands there, class acts that really pump the floor. Mac's has a great atmosphere; they are always ready to light the heaters in the deck bar on cold nights. And when Mike's there, he's always ready with a hi and a quick word. A small town like Fairfax is lucky to have such a place.“

“We stopped by last week and had some great cocktails and an appettizer. Very good. Nice atmosphere and decor. However, our particular server could use some people skills and speed. Other than the service issue - great place.“

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

“We were welcomed immediately with a menu and a hello- which sets the bar ,pun intended.
very thoughtful cocktails for a winning price point; elevated atmosphere that is approachable and warm.
Thank you April and Jean , will be back“

“Honestly, I was incredibly impressed by the pizza but also the array of (island themed??) cocktails. Our group shared a couple of pies that were both delicious. The Waikiki sneaky particularly did a great job balance spicy and sweet flavors while still tasty like pizza. The Jalisco punk was the standout amongst the drinks, but u left wanting to try a bunch more.

Recommend getting there early (before 7pm) on a weeknight as the line was out the door when we left.“
