13 Best Bars near Jenner

“The restaurant is a big deal, since the next closest option is a ten minute drive. We ate nine meals there and worked through most of the menu. The crab cakes and seasonal salad were our favorites.

The only miss was the salmon wings. Everything else was great and we loved the ocean views and lovely service. We'll be back soon!“

“I always enjoy my time at the Jenner inn. The tree house cottage was the perfect, private space for a night of relaxation. The room has 1 queen bed a Kitchenette with a sink, mini fridge and microwave. Satellite Tv and WiFi. Looking forward to my next stay.“

“Great people great atmosphere! And awesome Live Music when we were there. ❤️❤️❤️“

For us as foodies, good food with high quality sourcing is incredibly important and Huria delivered on all fronts!d“

“My husband and I have decided this is the best bar ever. We met some locals who were gardening out front (literally gardening lol) and they made us want to go in immediately. Speaking of, if anyone knows the gardeners name we cannot remember for the life of us! Which may be due to the very strong drinks and amazing 90s dance pop music. We felt immediately at home, the bartenders were lovely, and we can’t wait to come back.“

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

“Cherie has brought her experience in interior design and with the fashion industry to this historical Lodge. Every room is high-end designed with personal outdoor jacuzzis and there is an adorable gift shop with reasonably priced goods. Rio Nido is quickly becoming a premier destination to suit vacation needs in the central Russian River. Rio Nido Lodge’s events are tastefully decorated and I am proud to own a home in Rio Nido nearby the Lodge after watching it be vacant and neglected for a handful of years.“

“I see we share the same name. Your Bar has to be fantastic Just saying 😎“

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

“Walked in around 5pm, nice view of the harbor. Food was excellent! I recommend the clamp chowder and Cajun pasta. I love espresso martinis , however I was a little disappointed in the drink. Overall, the service, views, and food were top notch. I recommend ending the evening with a soft service ice cream from Valley Ford. Delicious 😋“

“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!“

“Must play !!! Sun, beach and golf“

“I’ve been coming here for over a decade (though only in fits and starts). Every time, I am very happy. I sit on the deck looking over the river, order a drink and a meal, and chat with friends and locals. I leave satisfied.

The staff? Good at what they do and occasionally exceptional at banter. The food? Average to outstanding. The menu has changed over the years. But it hasn’t gotten worse. If anything, it is what you would expect from bar food in this area and priced fairly. The wait time? Not sure why people are harping on this. Do you have a prior engagement at the opera? The beers? They are fine. The mixed drinks? They are also fine. The atmosphere? Unforced local/townie (and I don’t mean that as a slur). Sure, there are some ‘interesting’ people hanging out. But what do I care? I am a guest. Don’t poke the bear and don’t get the reaction. Poke the bear? Be prepared to engage with ‘interesting’ people who live here. Seems like common sense.

This last visit, I was with a group of nearly a dozen people. Some had been here before. Some hadn’t. Everyone had a great time. That is what a place like this, in a place like this, should do. Support locals. Get out-of-towners to spend their money and leave happy.

Next time I am in this neck of the woods, I will come back. What does that mean? Recommended. Thanks for a great time.“
