This is the best bar in Petaluma if you ask me! They make an amazing gin gimlet! The ambiance is amazing! It's like a fancy yet casual neighborhood spot. A sexy cheers if you will. My favorite thing after a work day is to head over, grab a drink, and play shuffle board for a while!

Bartenders are rude and the drinks are overpriced. We have been looking for a solid cocktail bar in Petaluma, disappointed this is not the one!

Place is amazing, except for the know it all bartender. Place has a great atmosphere, billiard, shuffle board, and a wack bar tender. Acts like he’s a know it all, will ignore you if you’re not a woman, and if you don’t know exactly what you want, he can’t help you. May be treat you better if you’re white, who knows. Enjoy.. I Guess.

My experience at Mario & John's has been exceptional every time. David always provides wonderful service and puts his full knowledge of mixology into every drink catering to each customer in a unique way. My favorite bar in Petaluma!

- Ambience: nice space. Lots of room to stand around with a shuffle board and pool table (Score!!!!) - Service: my dog was allowed inside. She got to watch us play pool and enjoy some cocktails for the first time so - Drinks: I had the corpse reviver #2 and Ryan had a tequila drink. Both were extremely well crafted. We will definitely come back.

Mario and John's cocktail bar is a haven for spirits aficionados. Their remarkable selection of spirits caters to diverse tastes, ensuring an experience tailored to each visitor's preferences. What sets this establishment apart is their commitment to using only freshly juiced fruits, infusing each cocktail with vibrant, natural flavors that elevate every sip. The concoctions crafted here are a testament to the mastery of mixology, where the fusion of premium spirits and fresh fruit creates a symphony of taste that tantalizes the palate. Impeccable service and an inviting ambiance make Mario and John's the perfect destination for those seeking both exceptional cocktails and a delightful atmosphere.

This is easily the best bar in Petaluma. The cocktails are amazing, the vibe is fantastic and as a woman who likes to go out on my own, it’s very safe. The bartenders are all great at what they do. David in particular never makes a bad cocktail and is always a delightful presence. I highly recommend :)

5 stars all the way around but the bartenders are truely what makes this place so special- specifically David. I asked him to make me something fun with gin and man did he deliver! I will 100% be going again. And again. And again.
Disability discrimination! Not accommodating, unwelcoming, no patience to the deaf person(s)/community, discrimination toward me, a deaf person. Unfairly discriminated against by bar staff.Unfortunately due to recent bad experience I will not be returning and would not recommend this bar to fellow deaf/hard of hearing community. They are not welcoming or respectful and/or fair to deaf person(s)/community.I am deaf and while playing a fun game of shuffleboard with friends, the bartenders put me/us on blast in front of the entire bar for being too loud instead of addressing the situation professionally and privately.I am deaf and so uncomfortably cannot gauge my voice volume. I deserve to also be given respect and not treated rudely or as a criminal because of my deafness. Give me the opportunity to correct myself without embarrassing me and as though I did on purpose. I felt horrible and so uncomfortable. They were so quick to judge. If they had nicely or professionally came up to me/us, I/we would have quieted down. We are grown mature women and didn’t want to cause any trouble. I was completely taken back by this poor and unsettling night.

This was a new find for us and we loved it! Great craft cocktails and really nice bourbons. We went back a second night! Atmosphere is lively and the service is great.

Hidden gem for sure! So I was in search of Pappy Van Winkle 15 year in the Sonoma County area to surprise my boyfriend. I messaged multiple places and whomever runs the Mario and John's Instagram page was so sweet and attentive and messaged back quickly. He/she said they had it and when I asked the price, he/she said that they would message the bar team for me. SO kind! And let me just say REASONABLE prices! They also said that a gentleman named Mica (hope I'm spelling it right) would be the bartender that night and that he could recommend other great allocated bourbons. We ended up going and wow! The bar was great, Mica was so very kind and sweet and made the experience very special for my boyfriend. If you are a whiskey fan, or even a spirit's or cool bar fan in general, definitely check out this great place. Great drinks! And the most welcoming staff as well!

Amazing hidden gem! Thanks to Yelp, I found this neat bar. The ambiance is definitely aesthetically pleasing with very low light, almost dim. The service here was phenomenal and staff was very friendly & easy to talk too. They also have names you can plan and tables to sit with friends. Would definitely come back here for more drinks in the future!
