17 Best Cocktail Bars in Napa

“**Heaven in a Glass – A Must-Visit in Napa!**

I can't say enough about the incredible experience I had at this craft cocktail bar! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was unmatched. The owner, Lulu, personally took care of my entire party, making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of.

The drinks? Absolutely out of this world! Each cocktail was a masterpiece, and I could easily spend another day in Napa just to try them all. Lulu's attention to detail and passion for her craft truly shines through in every sip.

Thank you, Lulu, for making our visit unforgettable. I’m already dreaming of my next trip back!

Love,

“UPDATING MY REVIEW.Owner Greg reach out to me and Happy to say that he sent me a T-Shirt. I will definitely will give this place another when I return to Napa. Thank You Greg rectifying the situation.Here from Chicago and we were looking for after dinner cocktail and decided to try this place. Will NEVER return again! The bartender was HORRIBLE, RUDE, NASTY! We like to get t-shirts from places we have stopped at I asked the bartender if we can see different sizes so she went back and got them and each time she would take the ones that we where looking at back while we where deciding on sizes. I told her don’t worry we’re not going to steal them and she proceeded to say I can run fast if we did. WTH was that all about? Then kept telling us it’s a cash bar which we were well aware and had no issues with that. FYI we paid our bill and left and we never bought your t-shirt!“

“During the summer months at sunset, the mercantile is hand down our favorite place to visit. Some of best drinks you can find in napa (mocktails especially).

Locals get a discount. Bartenders are long time Napa vets, and they always remember you...

If your visiting their rooftop during magic hour is something to put on your list when coming downtown. Beautiful patio, intimate yet conversational setting, they also have 2 fire pits to gather around and chat with others.“

“Great ambience & cocktails, and perfect live music from Arriane Del- she is a total performer started with dinner music on piano and beautiful vocals then had us all dancing with her guitar & energetic music! ❤️ We had a wonderful time at The Fink and will definitely be bringing our UCSF nurse group back for another show. Highly recommended!!“

“More casual than the Gateway CIA. I started with a Manhattan and my table ordered the Veggie Fritto Misto made from veggies from their garden. The best Fritto Misto I've ever eaten. I had the Rockfish which was also excellent. My dessert was a Calvados. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and explained the menu options better than the descriptions in the menu. There were times where we waited on service for a bit too long IMO, but maybe I wasn't in vacation mode yet. We will definitely return.“

“It's a great seafood restaurant with lots of variety to choose from. Family friendly and in a nice location. The staff was friendly and attentive. We were there on a hot summer Sunday night and it was lively. We got our food in a timely manner and our orders were correct. We had the brazino and the cioppino, both were delicious and packed with flavor. We'll definitely come back again.“

“Good and drinks were were very good“

“The menu at Ember was not as exciting as the articles described. The Caesar salad with carpaccio was drenched in a pool of dressing, it was unappetizing. The filet mignon was cooked to the right temperature, we'd asked for medium, and nicely seasoned but a bit dry. The mushroom side dish was fabulous! Nice wine selection. Excellent service from the host to the server and manager.“

“Nice employees. Quaint little place.“

“NIce place, quiet, cozy, casual, modern with relatively simple and delicious menu. Not for foodies, but more for those who appreciate simpler foods prepared well. Just off the main drag, which makes parking easy and a short walk out the door into shops, etc. Would recommend and will be back“

“We had a lovely lunch here while visiting Napa Valley on 10/19/24. Indoor seating was cool and quiet, which was an appreciated escape from the heat outside. Our wine was one of the best Cabernet Sauvignon I have had, highly recommend the Facets bottle. The salad was light and just what I wanted. The steak frites was also yummy, albeit a larger piece of steak would have been great. My only caveat was the lunch was served SO fast. Within 5 minutes of ordering wine and lunch, the food was out. Would have loved to have the wine and bread to enjoy a bit before the lunch came out. Also, the butter would have been SO much better with a little sea salt on it, but that’s just extra :) Would absolutely come back again.“

“Adriana and Damian!...the best!“

“My place just for good sit-down Mexican food. Been going there for years. I just celebrated my 67th birthday with them. When my roommates have a birthday, they know dinner is on me at Frida's.

Parking: The shoping center has a very tight parking spaces“

“What a gem! Perfect spot for breakfast/brunch for a hangover (or not). Homemade biscuit is so flakey and airy & goes hand in hand with their country-style gravy and super juicy chicken fried chicken.
Jax eggs Benedict with homemade English muffins and spicy hollandaise are killer! Don't forget their bottlerock homestyle potatoes and tots. Polish things off with their fluffy fresh beignets.
Thank you Johnny for making us feel at home and for guiding us through the menu so we got a little taste of everything. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“The beignets here make the visit well worth it alone. The rest of brunch was extremely good as well. The Jax breakfast was great and one of our party had the Cali Benny and upgraded to Bottle Rock Tots - she was a very happy but stuffed diner. Kayla looked after us very well, a most enjoyable venue for breakfast/brunch.“

“What a vibrant and fun place for food, beverage, and music. A nice addition to our downtown Oxbow community!“

“Overall a very good experience. A couple fumbles with our soup coming out before our cocktails, and the place was not full at all. Dim Sum was just ok. Soup dumpling was great. Peking duck was wonderful as was the Kung Pow chicken. We will go back.“
