50 Best Cocktail Bars near Larkspur

“"5/5 stars! Picco is hands down the best Italian spot in town! The pasta dishes are cooked to perfection, and the pizzas are crispy and flavorful. The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. Cozy atmosphere and great prices. Highly recommend the Devinci pizza and Brownie for dessert. We'll be back!"“

“I have eaten at Left Bank Brasserie many times over the years, as my son lives in Larkspur. Have also celebrated several milestone birthdays there. The food has always been first rate, and the service impeccable!“

“Amazing food and wine, great view“

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

“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.“

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

“Nice bar and really like the roof fan“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic concept, fantastic cocktails“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“The Boardroom is quite the find. We were staying overnight at a nearby hotel and were intrigued by the restaurant and reviews were solid so we gave it a try. As others have mentioned it's in a somewhat non-descript strip center but when you enter it's another world, dark and intimate with period decor and a live piano player on Saturday when we dined. The food was fantastic, my wife had the brined and smoked pork chop and I selected the Salmon, both were excellent. They had a smore vegan tart desert which was delicious. Drinks were also good but as some others have mentioned they were a little slow to come out but they made it right. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

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

“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".!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Past by this restaurant and sat down for late lunch. I got the fried chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was so nicely seasoned and so crispy and juicy on the inside! With coleslaw and thinly sliced pickles and nicely toasted buns. Very delightly surprised at how good the sandwich was! Highly recommend!“

“Great little neighborhood Cocktail bar with a good tapas menu for sharing. The service was quick despite only have one bartender on duty. They have your typical bar food but a little more well presented. Very reasonably priced without compromising quality. You can’t find entrees like salads or a bar burger under $20 in the city anymore.

Cocktail menu has a wide selection of all liquors and there’s some wine and ~6 beers on tap. Walk ins OK. Good ambience, easy to talk.“

“We had such a wonderful experience celebrating my mom’s birthday here! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, elegant, and perfect for a special occasion.

Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. The pasta was rich and flavorful, the steak was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the cheese and sauce, and the seafood dish was fresh and well-balanced. Even the sides like the vegetables and polenta were done so well. And the desserts — especially the tiramisu and cheesecake — were the perfect ending to the meal!

What really stood out was the presentation and attention to detail. Every plate looked beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked.

The service was also excellent — attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and special without being rushed.

Overall, this was the perfect place for a family celebration. My mom had a great birthday, and we’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“It’s been years since I went to this bar. We had just visited the Institute of Contemporary Art of San Francisco across the street. It was that sweet spot where some bars or restaurants don’t open until 4pm. We decided to stop by since it was open and it looked cozy plus they had the game on. The staff was accommodating in pushing seats and tables to accommodate the group. Prices were a bit steep so we only stayed for one drink. Seems like it’s a bar mainly for hotel guests from what we could see.“

“We visited Tiya yesterday. The food was very good and we really enjoyed it. They also gave us a special room, which made our experience even better. The ambience is nice and comfortable. However, the chai was very cold and could be improved. There is also a parking problem around the restaurant. Overall, it was a good experience.“

“Was searching for beers to sink my thoughts during my trip to SF and I was very pleased to meet Marty and his bar !
Good music, good beer and great guy to talk to.
Thanks for the good time, I’ll come by again next time in SF.
Pardon my french 😉

“This comfortable, friendly, non pretentious, eclectic watering hole is a mandatory destination whenever I visit San Francisco. Great neighborhood, great staff. If Brian is tending bar I recommend you come bearing a good joke. Love this place!“

“Perfect Italian authentic restaurant when enjoying North Beach neighborhood for my friends birthday! I got us tickets to dear San Francisco, which is a wonderful show at Club Fugazi just 3 blocks away from this great restaurant! Paolo took wonderful care of us. His wine, suggestions and appetizer and entrée tips were the best! The pasta is homemade and very delicious and special. We tried the gnocchi with pesto, as well as a delicious braised meat, red sauce over fresh linguine. We also enjoyed the grilled (not fried) octopus. The tiramisu for dessert was perfect! I’ve been here before, and I will go back again and again for the service and authentic delicious Italian cuisine.“

“Omg! The Ribs are amazing!“

“This is my favorite breakfast burrito in San Francisco. They are so, so good - stuffed with bacon, beans, avocado, cheese - I’m literally drooling thinking about it. The staff here are so kind and lovely. It’s great for breakfast or lunch. It’s reasonably priced for the area. The mini churros are also yummy. The portions are very large. Highly recommend.“

“Phenommmmmmenal! Def will be back next trip !“

“Exceptional food, memorable staff, with warm music“

“If I'm in San Francisco, it's a mandatory stop for me for an evening or late-night bite!“

“Very nice portions and very friendly! Enjoyed the people and the food!“

“Absolutely a great experience! Ambiance was nice. Place was very busy with lunch crowd but the server was very attentive to all. The beef dumplings and the beef and lamb schwarma was amazing! The sangria was tasty! Highly recommend coming to this restaurant!“

“Good service friendly bartenders“
