23 Best Bars near Healdsburg

“Great experience, everything was delicious. Service was good, food was delivered quickly. Great place for some small bites. The outdoor seating was nice, only complaint are the sofas are a bit soft and when you're short you really sink in and the table height feels off. We solved this by putting a pillow under our butt.“

“Jason is such a gem of a bartender! From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome with his warm smile and genuine personality. He’s attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell he really cares about creating a great experience for everyone at the bar.

Not only were the drinks absolutely perfect—balanced, creative, and beautifully made—but Jason also has that rare gift of making conversations easy and fun. He remembers details, adds thoughtful touches, and creates an atmosphere where you feel like more than just a customer—you feel like a valued guest.

If you’re lucky enough to catch Jason behind the bar, you’re guaranteed an amazing time. Highly recommend! 🍹👏“

“Agave Mexican Restaurant has the best, most delicious dishes north of Marin. Delicious authentic homemade Mexican dishes. The best Mole sauce with almonds, herbs, chocolates, the best Mole sauce in the United States of America.“

“Incredibly fresh raw oysters. The view is amazing. The wait staff is kind & attentive. The manager really cares about his customers. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Everything was super.. staff, service, food and location I had the most amazing winter salad and goat cheese croquettes along with the homemade pasta and chanterelles ... only comment was about the pasta that could have done w/o the pine nuts in an otherwise creative and delicious dish. Get a reservation and go asap🥂“

“Healdsburg, worst kept secret. Best BBQ place in plain sight! It gets very busy over the weekends, but the table is always available without the wait. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Excellent service.“

“Stopped in while visiting Healdsburg for the Jordan Winery Halloween party and had an awesome time. Classic dive bar vibe with friendly staff and a laid-back crowd. Drinks were great, service was quick, and everyone made us feel welcome. The best part, I accidentally left my credit card behind, and they went out of their way to mail it back to me. That kind of customer service is rare these days. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in town!“

“The Cattle Company is such a great spot! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with a fun, relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff is super friendly and always makes you feel right at home.

The drinks are great, the bar has plenty of energy, and there’s never a dull moment with pool tables and pinball machines to keep the fun going. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink with friends or looking for a place to unwind and play a few games, this place delivers every time.

Highly recommend for good drinks, good times, and great company! 🍻🎱🕹️“

“The Rio Nido lodge holds a special place in my heart, offering an idyllic setting, warm hospitality, gourmet cuisine, live musical entertainment and cozy accommodations, complete with hot tubs and sauna for your use. providing a multitude of reasons for my frequent return visits. 5 stars 🌟“

“I use to go every couple/ few months to pick up my wine club wine and try new wines. I always leave with some new fun great wines; but because of CoVid we didn’t go. Today I went to pick up my wine club wines(4 sets). They are holding wine tasting outside, doing social distancing and it was fun.... I encourage everyone to check out Locals if they’re in the area. There are a couple great local restaurants in town so make a day of it. The staff is fabulous!!!!“

“Jimmy & John are amazing! Cocktails are heaven! Vibe & service beyond stellar! Thank you!!“

“I’ve gone to the Forestville club several times and I always have a good time. Last night I went and when I left, I did not feel normal. I had a couple beers, but I felt very intoxicated and very unwell the next day which does not happen to me from two beers. Ladies watch yourselves don’t leave your drink unattended and watch them pour. I didn’t leave my beer but the bartenders back is to me when he poured, that’s not gonna happen again. I’m 57 and I know what a hangover feels like, this was not that.“

“This recommendation is from Howard E. Daniel (Pen-for-Rent owner): "Five years after Tisza -- pronounced TEE-sa, one of our all-time favorite restaurants -- left its former location in Windsor, my wife and I finally checked out its beautiful new home in Healdsburg. To our delight, we found that Chef Krisztian Karkus and his wife Alena (who has now moved out of the back of the house to charm guests as a friendly, attentive hostess/waitress) have made their restaurant's tastefully appointed new incarnation even better than we remembered it. What makes Tisza special is not just the wonderful food, drink and ambience but the sprinkling of rare (in California Wine Country) offerings on its menu, including mouthwatering Central and East European delights -- schnitzels, goulash, spaetzle, potato dumplings, wild mushrooms and, OH YES!, apple strudel -- reflecting the couple's background (he's Hungarian and she's Czech). While we didn't manage to sample everything that tempted us in this first of what will surely be many return visits, we'd be remiss if we didn't single out for high praise the house-smoked salmon with dill mustard sauce, pickled mustard seed and crème fraiche served over potato latkes. We think this fabulous starter might be more aptly named "salmon ambrosia." (If anyone can transform a fish into food for the gods, Krisztian's your guy!) So if your taste buds are hankering for something a little different, Tisza is the place to take them for a real treat."“

“Great Sunday Brunch! Outdoor dining was lovely. So glad we found Dawn Ranch. Food was excellent, service prompt and friendly.“

“We love this place! The food is ALWAYS good; the service is always good, and we love that there is always a good band playing and we get to dance! Our first waiter was Ben and oh how we loved him so we always asked for him when we would go in. Sadly, Ben moved out of the area but then we got Danny! Another fantastic server and now we always ask for her! Can't vouch for the other servers but my guess would be that they are all good! Susie is the owner, and she is wonderful! She always mingles with her guests and even gets many of them up dancing! I hope she knows how much her regulars appreciate her! I'm so glad we found this place because we do not live out there. We live in Santa Rosa, and I must say it is always worth the trip out there for a great evening!“

“Great local hangout with outdoor seating on the River!. This is a must stop for those hot days on the Russian River. It was 93 today, but the shade with a river breeze was comfortable on the deck. They have a good selection of house brews with daily specials and a few mixed cocktails. Bar food is available, it's the normal fair. Great quality, you won't be disappointed.“
