40 Best Bars near Rohnert Park

“Specialty cocktails are delicious but their service is lacking, especially during the week. Took 12 minutes for a server to take my order, two were busy preparing others drinks and the other two were busy talking about personal business. The vibe and ambiance of the bar is pleasant but plan on waiting for a couple of drinks. For a bar this nice, service should be top tier.“

“This delightful local Watering Hole features a full Suite of available beverages and some of the best pub fare I have ever encountered. Karaoke nights are always fun and the karaoke hosts are some of the best people and though you wouldn't know to look at it from the outside it is a queer friendly establishment and safe space.“

“My first visit three weeks ago was awesome and not a one-off. I could have easily cut-n-paste and swapped the names from my last review three weeks ago (see Davo M) for this new review but it would not do justice to those that provided outstanding service twice since then. Nikki (Nikaila) and team deserve their own recognition on both occasions.

On Wednesday, Dec 3, Nikki was happily and professionally tending bar with utmost efficiency and Kyle was providing his usual A+ service. Nikki, with her great smile, asked what I'll have and filled it expeditiously. Kyle was busy tending customers with his usual welcoming hospitality. I had the 6 oz. sirloin cooked to perfection

On Friday, Dec 5, Nikki was at it again slinging drinks to customers and servers with lightning speed all while keeping the bar spotless. This time Macy was serving the bar with a flair and smile to behold. She graciously and patiently answered my menu questions without a flinch. I also met and talked briefly with the shift manager, Alex, who had the same great attitude as all the staff. He treated me as if he knew me for ten years. I reaffirmed to him how appreciative I was that no matter who was on shift they made me feel welcomed, valued, and respected. Even kitchen staff, Clayton, while bringing in a fresh load of bar glasses cheerfully asked how I and my meal was. How great is that? I wish I had the chef(s) name(s) because each meal was cooked to perfection not to mention delicious.

I worked for the corporate entity in three major companies. They all had one mission critical aspect in common. The business culture flows top to bottom. You have to tip your hat to the owner, and management because this Chili's hospitable atmosphere is truly a team effort.“

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!“

“great friendly staff good drinks and good people“

“If you’re looking for fine dining, craft cocktails, and a classy vibe… keep driving. But if you want a place where the jukebox might play Johnny Cash followed by Snoop Dogg, and where your bartender pours shots like they’re trying to solve world peace — welcome to The Zoo.

This bar is exactly what it sounds like: a glorious habitat for humans of all species. You’ve got the pool-table gorillas pounding out games all night, the karaoke parrots squawking “Bohemian Rhapsody” like their lives depend on it, and the mysterious nocturnal creatures in the corner who may or may not have been sitting there since the ’90s.

The drinks? Cheap enough that you question the math. The vibe? Somewhere between “your uncle’s garage” and “Vegas at 4am.” The decor? Well, let’s just say it’s a museum of questionable choices — but you wouldn’t want it any other way.

Highlights include:
• Strong pours that could tranquilize an actual zoo animal.
• Bathrooms that tell a story (not always a happy one, but definitely a story).
• A crowd so eclectic, you’ll leave with at least one new best friend and probably a conspiracy theory.

Bottom line: If Santa Rosa had a spirit animal, it would live at The Zoo, holding a Bud Light in one paw and a cue stick in the other.“

“Friendly place, happy people and a great menu. Don't leave without breaking your diet with their Beignets!“

“We’ll grounded fairways and greens. Nice restaurant and bar. Very nice Pro Shop and thank you for having some really nice items for women!!!“

“Everyone searches for their go to dive, their Cheers.. the place that’s open early and open late, has 5 star bartenders with one star humor but you love it… the place you can depend on, that feels safe, that feels welcoming. This is the ‘40.“

“After five hours on the road, this place greets you like a warm hug. Exceptional doormen and front desk folks us settled us in our room, Sarah at the Café made sure we wanted for nothing when it came to fresh, pleasing local fare and drink. This area is within a minutes-long Uber ride or walk to some outstanding restaurants, but if you are searching for a representative array of small plates or entrees, there’s no need to leave the premises. Enjoy!“

“This place is great. Delicious food, lots of vegetarian options (including a Beyond Burger. So happy when I can get protein). The patio is lovely with music, TVs, shade and dog-friendly. Service is always super prompt and friendly. And kid friendly!“

“Let's go walking Yes ok.“

“Always love Spanckys one request, please invite Sourflower back to perform!“

“an excellent place to have a good wine or a cold beer. Nice place.“

“The lady that runs this place is great :) She always makes you feel at home. It’s really dark inside and i like it that way. Mixed crowd that all get along just fine. The drinks are really reasonably priced. The BEST jukebox around. It has everything new and old. There is an old Star Wars pinball machine, a couple of pool tables, a shuffleboard? game, a small train that makes its rounds above your head for only 25 cents, and surprisingly nice restrooms. I love it here. It is my favorite local watering hole. When i drink a little too much, get a little loud and rowdy, or start making out with my girlfriends, they don’t even mind. Definitely my kind of place.“

“Agree with other commentators, good prices and good pours and pretty good vibe. People bring food in and it's free on like Football Sundays. Really good. There's a little bit of a local uppitiness (so many people know each other) that can be a little off putting. For example, bartender won't look at you for an order when a "local " just walked in.“

“Absolutely awesome place!!!“

“Great service! Great Food! Will definitely be back again!“

“My family and I have been going to Brixx since we moved to Petaluma when my daughter was born 14 years ago. We have always loved their food, ambiance and local family service. Considering how busy they are I usually call ahead and ask for the corner table in the back and they always seem to come through. Tonight my daughter and her friend had their Taekwondo mid term testing for their 2nd degree black belt test. I knew they would be starving afterward and knew Brixx would be the perfect place to reward them afterwards. It was on a Friday so I figured they would be busy. I called and Noel the owner answered and said they were slammed until at least 8:15. We were hoping to get the girls fed a bit earlier so I thanked him for checking and was happy they were busy. 5 minutes later he calls me back and said he could get us a 4 top table at 7:30 but probably not the corner booth which I was super happy about. When we got there they were packed but had a reserved sign for us on the corner booth! Brixx is an awesome, local family owned business that have great food, cozy ambiance and every time we have been there the owners are there bartending, waiting tables, running food or whatever they need to do to run a good business. This place is a Petaluma Gem and I feel bad I am just now giving them a 5 star review. Thank you Noel and his wonderful wife and staff for your hard work.“

“Everything was fabulous! So excited that Luma is open!“

“Great time with Wes and Sam. Just stopped in from Mn on vacation and were welcomed by many locals. This place is a classic and is a must stop“

“Can not say how much we loved the bartender! He was so welcoming and funny. We had delicious fish and chips, they have tartar or cocktail sauce or malt vinegar. Perfection! Very chill vibe in the meticulously clean bar and really nice TVs to watch any game. Thanks so much!“

“It is usually busy during street events but we always get seated at lunch or dinner usually inside but there is an outdoor area....the food is always good there are clean accessible one person restrooms too!

Parking: Parking is on street...several lots nearby..free garage but it's by the theatre district

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is accessible“

“Great Sandwich, had the Brooklyn Bridge it was delicious“

“Grab a seat at the bar and enjoy some of the friendliest bartenders in all of Petaluma (especially Cat)! The entire staff is wonderfully laid back, genuine and truly happy to be there, which makes us very happy to be there as well!“

“Great food and service. Will go back !“

“Was a great venue to play at“

“We had lunch on a quiet Monday afternoon. This is a very pleasant place with a suggestion of a French bistro. Our waiter was excellent - friendly, attentive, and energetic. The tuna tartare appetizer was very good. We had a vegetarian and a duck confit crepes. Both were very good. The wine list is very strong, with some excellent French wines. We enjoyed a very nice Chablis. Overall, a great place to enjoy very good French food in a very pleasant environment.“

“great food and great service 👍“

“We were very excited to try this place out and really enjoyed trying the seasonal brisket and meatball tagine. My husband loved the creative cold brew coffee options and the horchata was delicious (warning though the serving size for the horchata is very small).

I really loved the persimmon bread dessert. Reminded me of a richer version of my family persimmon bread.

I appreciated that the cost includes the tip as that is how it should be (supporting the staff in the price). We will return to try their changing tasty menu.“

“Legendary Italian. Family Style. Enough said.“

“Great Sandwich, had the Brooklyn Bridge it was delicious“

“We have been eating at The New Yorker for 27 years now and I guess that says it all!!! We love the place and the owner Rosalia. It is a great family place, feels like a old school Pizzeria and the food is consistently great! We usually get pizza and their sandwiches and have some for the next day. We especially love the plain cheese pizza it can stand alone with out any extra toppings but topping can be good too. We love the sausage parmesan sandwich it can be messy but in a good way. Their pastas are great as well.“

“Love this place and food , but I don’t like handed a machine while server is standing there and I need to see if bill is correct and what their tip will be Set the final bill down and give me time . Today they were busy at lunch , so not the fastest service. Great food.“

“Country bar, local flavor. Reminds me of the Lost Dog in East Dennis, just a lot more history as it was founded in 1859.“

“not only does this restaurant have a long family history. This restaurant has a menu to fit everyone's needs and has a great chef. 10/10“

“Shout out to Chris the manager who went out of his way to accommodate us. We are Hyatt members and thought we could use our club access awards. Unfortunately this particular restaurant is its own identity and therefore they don’t allow you to use the awards. Chris however made an exception and allowed us to use them. It was a very busy day with a bit of a wait but we were really taken care of in an amazing way. Thank you!“

“Cozy space with nicely appointed ambiance. Friendly staff. Excellent food on a varied and adventurous menu. The cheese curds are worth the trek. Great cocktails. Good happy hour menu. Lovey outside patio and well behaved dogs are welcome.“

“As a Human Resource Regional Manager I wish more businesses were like this. Outstanding staff and Outstanding food and drinks. I’m a math major so I rate my experience at Stark’s Steak & Seafood, a 3.14 out of 3.14. I look forward to going to Stark’s again. I wish everywhere was like Stark’s. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Stark’s sets the example for others in the field. Ladies and gentlemen take notes. This is how you conduct a successful business. - Pierce“
