29 Best Bars near San Anselmo

“5 Stars for great, inexpensive drinks. No food served here unless you count popcorn as a food. Classic stop fore for 25 plus years. Friday's rock after 9. Not for everyone, fancy is NOT a word that can be applied to the Cabin. But fun and dive bar are perfect ways to describe it!“

“Matteucci's is a legendary Marin institution and one of the last of it's kind. This is an old-fashioned neighborhood bar with long-time regulars, good drink prices, impeccable service and relaxed atmosphere.Matteucci's harken's back to a near lost time when we all went to local bars afterwork where "everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came".I come as often as I can, usually with friends to kick back, have a good drink, talk and laugh. I love it, I'm sure you will too.(Matteucci's doesn't server food. I gave it 4 stars because they allow and encourage deliver food service!! Awsome!)“

“One of the best restaurants that I’ve ever went to! The service is fantastic with the great hospitality, and the food is one of a kind. I enjoyed every bit of the food and it was an amazing experience for Mother’s Day. Thank you Luna Blu!“

“Had run an errand in the area, was hungry, did a search and came here. Frankly, we weren't expecting much--it is a sports bar attached to a hotel. When we walked in, the hostess was on the phone, talking with someone about a position at the restaurant (she didn't smile or acknowledge that we or the man in front of us had entered). She wasn't particularly welcoming when she got around to seating us. However, the menu was eclectic and it turned out that the food was fantastic! The chicken matzo ball soup was very fresh tasting--nice broth, fresh celery, carrots, and shredded chicken. The latkes were outstanding--thin, crisp shredded potatoes with HOUSEMADE apple sauce of diced apples (not the jarred stuff). Another fabulous dish was the tombo tuna poke with housemade rice crackers (the only downside was the price--it was expensive for a smallish serving). I didn't take pictures because I wasn't expecting much but it was a great experience. I've put Floodwater on my list to go back to whenever we are in the area.“

“This is the best restaurant in San Rafael and they have a lot of nice ones here but this place is perfection. Food is amazing. They are fast and the service is (only) the best service you have ever experienced. That’s all. Just that.Do yourself a favor, and go here and treat yourself. The prices are very reasonable but make sure you are kind to the staff and tip generously and they will make your night really magical and special. Thanks guys. I love your love, even though Valentine’s Day is not my favorite day to go to dinner. At least when I have to go there alone. ?❤️? Vegetarian options: Look at the menu.Parking: Parking is abundantKid-friendliness: They are friendly to kids“

“Wonderful dining experience. The food, service and ambiance was outstanding. What a jewel on the hill.“

“Friendly service, excellent dinner menu and wine list… Chef Tony and his team did everything they could to give us an intimate dining experience. Food was hot and fresh, high quality ingredients, good vegetarian options… pappardelle was excellent! Try the Panna Cotta for dessert!“

“Great place for a drink and live music, I had the opportunity to see band Loveslaughter last night, and loved it. Can’t wait to see more. Plus the band gave out cool stickers & homemade cookies. awesome sound. Bartender was really cool too-great service.“

“It’s a great place with great food and great service what more can I say it’s a great place to take family and friends for an overall great time“

“We found one of the best kept dining 'secrets' in Marin county via KQED 'Midnight eats' . We read multiple reviews on Petes before taking a chance and decided to bring our 90 year old Father in Law for his belated birthday dinner. Well, we were not sure what we were in for...but we all had a BLAST!The food is delicious, the weeknight specials were recited by the super friendly female bar-back (what ELSE do you serve?), and our server was attentive and on-point. The place is laid back in an industrial area of San Rafael, NOT PRETENTIOUS, and super casual (wear jeans and a tee!). After all, you can eat at the bar or at the few tables scattered around (its dark in there like a Vegas lounge). There is one side for eating/drinking; the other is for cards/poker games. Lighting is dim, but the service is warm, friendly and neighborly. My FIL dug into the Prime Rib Special (thursdays only) and within the hour, he polished off the entire plate of food. The slab meat filled the plate along with creamed spinach, baked potato and was delicious, melt-in-your-mouth. Our compliments to the Chef and kitchen staff! My sisters in Law had 2 burgers and raved about the fries/Onion rings, and were thrilled. The meal was great and one of the BEST VALUES IN MARIN COUNTY. Dad was impressed, and it was a 90th birthday to remember. Thank you Petes and the friendly down-to-earth staff.“

“I LOVE Saylor's for yummy carnitas tacos, the perfectly made, thin chips and great salsa. The staff is all very nice. I think it's fun to sit in the tiny bar area, but the main restaurant is also nice when you want a calmer eating environment. Cheers!“

“Great music on a Wednesday night with a friendly crowd and Jared, the bar manager stayed on top of all of it all night. Will definitely go back on another Wednesday!Parking: there are dedicated spots in front and across the street with open street parking on both sides. Too easy.“

“Great services, friendly“

“I've been looking at this place for a while and finally decided to give it a try. I tried a beef/lamb shawarma platter. My food was delicious, service was friendly and efficient. Not sure, but it may also be family owned and run. Which I love supporting. This does not have a "first date" ambience. But, that's ok because it's more like the place you and your sweetie or friends will want to make your "regular go to and take home and snuggle on couch together or hang out at the dinner table" place. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the minimal seating area and "ambience." If I could rate 4.5 I would. But, I'm definitely going back. Yummy.“

“This will forever be one of the places we miss most after moving away from San Anselmo/Fairfax. Whether we were finishing a long hike on Mt Tam, a short dog walk, or just need a pint to take the edge off, this was one of our go to spots. We spent countless hours here and think of it often. It's exactly the type of watering hole everyone needs - no pretentiousness, just a nice cold beer, a brat, and a fun crowd. If you haven't checked out Gestalt Haus, you're missing out.“

“Best Mexican food I've had in a long time!“

“Travis Marina Bar is located on Horseshoe Bay in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It in has live music weekends. There's a dance floor and a full bar with friendly bartenders. The views of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Horseshoe Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, and San Francisco are unsurpassed. Highly recommended.“

“We have gone there for a May birthday celebration for several years. The food was as great as ever and the service was wonderful. The cold breeze was finally cut off when the nearby open doors to the street were closed. A slight disappointment: we have always been given one complimentary dessert over the years (92 years old this year!) but other than a very nice Happy Birthday greeting from the wait staff, no surprise dessert. If I had known the gift was not offered any longer I would have ordered something. An embarrassing moment that will likely have us trying someplace different next year. Too bad.“

“Food was delicious, service was great, atmosphere was comfortable. Can’t wait to come back again!“

“Really welcoming atmosphere for our group as we were walking around Sausalito and looking for something approachable after a long walk across the bridge. Pool tables, juke box, long bar, cheap drinks. They had some special flavored tequilas they were making some nice on-the-fly cocktails with for some in our group, and we were really happy with them.“

“Great atmosphere, decent food, good beverages, nice staff, super slow service.“

“Have dined at Le Chalet Basque for more than 20 years. Our recent meal with lamb chops, fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes and split pea soup served with crumbled blue cheese salad couldn't have been better. Fresh ingredients, great wine and excellent service will keep us returning again and again.“

“unbelievable experience, the bartender was more than friendly and I would recommend to all my friends and family“

“This is a great place to drink, hang, and see music. This is only one issue with this place. The band stage is right next to the entrance and narrowest point, with only about 8-10 feet between it and the bar. As a selling point to get people it, this issue makes the place look crowded and happening, but it can make for a too packed area near the band and bar. I wish they could push back the wall and take away some of the outside area so there was more room between the bar and the band, but I'm a dance/music guy. Otherwise a great local place. poolroom and outside areas to hang. Enjoy the Fairfax.“

“I had a fabulous crab Benedict and the service was quite good, like the sort that was more common before the pandemic. I will be back.Parking: Public lot, no shelter.Wheelchair accessibility: The patio is quite accessible. I didn't look inside.“

“I came to this place because I was tracking drums that day and needed a drink. Got a Franklin IPA and it did the job! The staff was friendly, so much so that we ended up coming back for dinner! We had 2 different pizzas and got more drinks! The pizza was amazing! It was hella flavorful, hot and because of that brick over they have, you could taste the freshness! I will be back for more beer and pizza! Thank You for an amazing experience! The band loved it!“

“Was here on Christmas Eve, and the food, service, and ambience couldn’t have been better. Had clay pot dishes, both beef and tofu, assorted nigiri, Dragon roll - all wonderfully fresh, edamame, a shrimp tempura roll, and sake. We we all delighted. Thanks for adding to a beautiful Christmas Eve!“

“We came in for lunch on Sunday and the place was packed.We were greeted by a very nice gentleman who quickly brought us a couple menus.He explained that we could order directly from him or use the QR code on the table . We aren't big fans of ordering with our phones so we opted to order from him.We had some questions about what was his favorite thing on the menu and he told us the burger was his favorite. The burger was amazing.My friend ordered a tuna melt and was really impressed.I highly recommend the range cafe. Great food and great service.“

“Mike is cool, Aubrey is cool, Shani is great, Guy is my favorite, sorry ya'll. Love Monday night karaoke here, no B.S. feel safe and have a blast! Bring your own mirror if your a male, no mirror in bathroom :/ - Thank you to the owner too!“
