Cocktail Bars near Mendocino

“Truly the best dive bar in Mendocino as it is undoubtedly the only one in this town. Love the very calm and real energy this place exudes which is in stark contrast with all of the fake touristy places surrounding it. Decent beer line up. If you love overused dick jokes, this is also a great reason to come here.“

“Golden West Saloon is the oldest operating saloon in Fort Bragg, California. Although there are different stories about when it opened, the building is said to date back to the 1850's. When you walk into this iconic bar, you will see it's beautiful Oak and Birch bar dating back to the late 1800's. With a marvelous selection of Whiskeys, Tequilas, Gins, and spirits, beers, and wines, they have whatever pleases your palate. Pool, shuffleboard, darts and cornhole are all available. Now with live entertainment and DJ's on most weekends it is a local favorite. It is my "go to" place after a long day of hard work. This is definitely a locals bar. Located in the heart of downtown Fort Bragg on Redwood street.Parking: There is a lot behind the building and street parking in all of downtown.“

“Nice to wander into a place and feel welcome right away. Excellent people and dog watching can be found here, along with the cheap drinks and snacks. By snacks I mean the chips and jerky variety. Keep in mind it is cash only. They do have an atm in the corner with a $3 fee for use. You would think I would remember things in this town lean cash only, but alas I did not on this trip. Oh well. We ordered a couple rounds and each well drink was $4.50. A bag of Cheetos to share was $1.50. Keep it classy. A regular came in with her smallish dog that seemed to have just been frolicking on the beach because she was wet and full of sand XD... a puppy shot of whipped cream was promptly given at the bar and I realized I had come to the right place. I really liked the vibe here. People were friendly and real, just having a good time and hanging out. Make me want to live here even more why don't you? They have pool and shuffleboard. TVs with sportings (Final Four) were on during our visit, but they've also got a touch tunes jukebox. I will def be back here the next time I want a fort bragg dive bar experience.
