50 Best Bars near Sausalito

“went in this bar Monday afternoon after walking across the bridge... very friendly and good vibe“

“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.“

“The imagineering in this bar is amazing. So many details put in to make this one of the best immersive experiences. The drinks are also expertly crafted. We initially sat downstairs because we liked the energy coming from the bartenders and ample places to sit. But we did move to the upper level to take in more of the details. We’ll need to return several more times to enjoy more of the drinks we wanted to try. Super bummed that there were no mugs available. Next time!“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“For half a decade now, this enchanting haven has embraced a cherished spot deep within the chambers of my heart. A span of time marked by the tides of years, like brushstrokes on a canvas of memory. How delightful it is to behold this sacred space, perpetually abuzz with the symphony of laughter and camaraderie, a living tapestry woven with familiar visages that adorn the stage behind the polished bar.

As the amber sun dipped beneath the horizon, ushering in another glorious day, a fervent yearning pulled me to these hallowed grounds once more. A quest to unearth the quintessence of a day as perfect as the petals of the first spring bloom. I sought refuge within these walls, a sanctuary poised to embrace the blessings of this ephemeral season that the city dons like a shimmering cloak.

Ah, the skylight, an iridescent portal to the cosmos, a jewel set in the crown of this sanctuary. On this day, when the celestial sphere stretched its azure canvas across the vault of heaven, the skylight stood ajar, casting a cascade of golden threads upon the tapestry of the room. The atmosphere teemed with a tangible energy, an electric current of joy that flowed through the veins of this space, harmonizing with the very pulse of life outside.

It was as if I had never truly seen it before, but now, in this moment, the revelation was as vivid as a dream realized. This domain, an alcove for souls seeking the embrace of mezcal's smoky warmth and tequila's spirited kiss, had transformed like a chrysalis into a haven of mezcal reverie. A constellation of options, a library of smoky dreams, tantalized the senses, each bottle whispering stories of agave kissed by the desert sun and the loving hands that cradled its growth.

A liquid masterpiece, the "Peacekeeper," still reigns supreme in my heart, a libation that dances like a maestro's symphony across the palate. An homage in a glass, the drink that embodies the essence of this ethereal alcove, an elixir of unity that bridges the gap between the weary traveler and the steadfast guardian of this refuge.“

“I was really blown away by the quality of the food, everything was perfection. The staff were super warm and friendly and provided great service. It’s such a cute cozy spot and it was perfect for date night. Also I appreciated that the bartender had a heavy hand with the wine pour. Will definitely be back!“

“Had a great time, around a few drinks with friends. It is unfortunate that the beer garden area backs on a dilapidated lot. The thin wall is not enough to contain the rather unpleasant smell of what seems to be used as a public urinal and smoking point.“

“Best people, best beer, insane genius level FRIES!!!“

“Good selection of draft beers and an excellent food menu. Not your average sud slinging pub, you won’t be disappointed after frequenting this establishment.“

“I love performing their can't wait to go back“

“Fab bar with a great range of booze and really friendly and helpful staff. Took the time to discuss UK vs USA measures and jiggers with me - fascinating!“

“Loved this place very authentic“

“Cold beer on a warm night, absolutely buzzing.“

“Great bartender & sours. FYI - they don't serve any liquor, just beer & wine

Parking: You will likely have to drive around the neighborhood for a while and walk a few blocks to park which will be time limited.“

“Great spot! Good bartenders, friendly crowd and laid back vibe. Dog friendly as one would expect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was a lovely last minute date spot before a movie! We were able to get seating right away, and the service was spectacular. We ordered two of the pasta dishes and a glass of wine - all of it exceeded our expectations, and we were disappointed to have to rush out of there so quickly to catch the movie. It also seems like a great spot to go with a group - plenty of seating and no wait. The owner was lovely, we look forward to going back soon to explore more of their wine menu!“

“If you are in the know, Black Horse London Deli is the smallest coolest bar in SF and around the world possibly. The King, James has run this place for a couple of decades, it is the most unique bar spot in SF, fits only 2 handfuls of dedicated patrons, a special brand of humans indeed, the service is unsurpassed. After shelter in place, James turned it into a gourmet sandwich and hot dog kitchen, this King knows how to cook as well. So all you peeps who uses Postmates, grubhub etc. This place rocks and the food he serves is just super delicious, end of story“

“Awesome neighborhood bar spot to watch sports or just hang out with friends. Everyone is pretty nice and the staff is always on point. Prices are probably one of the most reasonable you will find in SF. You can get yourself a bucket of beers and play pool, darts or shuffle board. It’s also nice to sit with a drink and watch the cable cars go by.“

“I love a good Irish / neighborhood bar. It's more upmarket than other Irish bars in SF given the neighborhood. The beers are on point, and the tv's will certainly grab your attention if you come here alone. Friendly bartenders and the place is filled with locals.“

“I am reluctantly writing this review, and I will tell you why—Lost Resort is so delicious, I don’t want anyone to know. But that isn’t fair to this gem of a spot, so I will tell about my brunch review.
Food is A+. Delicious, fresh, creative, and just as yummy as you could want. Cocktails are right on point, curated to your delight. The service is great, at your leisure, friendly, and kind. The space is awesome, indoor/outdoor, and dog friendly (a must have for me). This is a wonderful spot for a party of 2 or 12. A hidden gem that you will be glad to have found. Beyond delish!“

“I have to say this place is a lot better than it probably needs to be. Really spacious and fun place for pre-theater, symphony, opera or ballet dining. They also have a late night happy hour for after the show drinks or dining. Nice touch!“

“Last night my friends had a table at a nearby (not to be named) bar that would not let me bring my backpack in.

So I go to bamboo hut and ask if they’ll hold it.

They at first say no (I don’t blame them, I wasn’t buying anything and it was a busy Friday night)

Out of desperation I offered to pay them $100 to hold it

The woman goes to talk to the manager / owner, who comes up and says they’ll hold it.

Then they refused my money. Both of them.

It was a kind, simple interaction that really made the night of a stranger (me).

This review is the least I can do; these are good people“

“Lily and her family make a great team. Very friendly bar, with good service and generous measures of drinks at very reasonable prices. Luckily we were staying just down Post so it quickly became our go-to bar during our short stay in SF. Lovely chicken wings too. Thanks for a great time. And a lovely fluffy cat to boot !!“

“Great drinks and space both outdoors and indoors.“

“spectacular seafood! shrimp and scallops were thoroughly enjoyed and the wine and Champagne pairings made it even better! Only bad thing was, I didn't get a second Tiramisu for dessert! Perfect little private room in back and the 3 servers were on point!“

“Yummy selection and really friendly service.“

“Lively environment and customers. Really fun!“

“We stopped in here for a few hours while visiting San Francisco a little over a week ago, and we were so glad we did! We found out about the place by talking to a local bartender that we met at another bar, and she highly recommended it. It's like a Dave & Buster's just for adults, filled with all of your favorite classic arcade games and lots of great music. You can purchase a playing card and load it with points to use for playing games, much like Dave & Buster's. The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. There is an excellent drink selection and a good selection of food as well.

There are tons of game options on the first and second floor, and the second floor also has lots of fun backdrops and scenery for photo opportunities. It's very "Instagrammable" if you will, lol. We got there around 5pm on a Thursday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded when we got there, but it got busier around 8:30 or 9pm. There was a DJ that started playing around 9pm or so, and he played an excellent combo of 90s, 2000s, and today's hits.

Definitely coming back next time I'm in SF!“

“Saw LA witch at Killowatt and it was amazing.“

“Spent a great evening a the Mad Dog in the Fog. Good food. Good trivia. Great people. Thanks to Killian for making our night sensational. Best Irish pub in San Fran.“

“Best place ever. Real humans being real beautiful weirdos. Music sometimes. Eye candy always. Specs’ is one of my favorite places on earth.“

“My husband Pat and I (kim) always look forward to our visits to Marina Lounge. Bartender Peter greets us like great friends! Patrons are always friendly. We enjoy our conversations with the clientele. As visitors from Sonora they offer great places to enjoy meals and there are many delightful places in neighborhood serving a variety of steak, Asian, Peruvian, burgers etc. Never disappointed. All in walking the close neighborhood. But we shout out to our bartender friend, Peter, for adding fun to our visit. Best part we feel safe in the neighborhood.“

“It’s a great place to meet friends for fun food and have a glass of wine… it has a cozy interior or you can sit out on Dolores sidewalk and enjoy the lovely neighborhood. The owner and his wife make make you feel relaxed and welcome. It’s also a great date spot and the tables are set up for comfort or intimacy if you prefer- it also offers food to go! Most people who try it want to return!“

“Awesome atmosphere and drinks!“

“Classy S.F. the way it used to be! Amazing European decor and gorgeous staff as well as patrons. This is the spot for dressing up or just sitting at the bar in your tourist clothes. Don’t miss this spot!“

“My experience here at Bar TZA was amazing. The customer service was great from the start, got greeted by the owner himself. The drinks were so good and the amount of alcohol they put is not overpowering. The watermelon margarita (chefs kiss). The food we ordered the sliders, the tacos dorados and THE WINGS, BOMB!!!!! Later on during the night they opened the dance floor the music was great. (I forgot my phone at home and I was having so much fun that I even forgot about my phone) so overall experience was great.. if you’re looking for something casual good food drinks and music. I definitely recommend.“

“Love the coffee, atmosphere, customer service, etc. The cafe is always clean and they’re always polite and very accommodating to my extra pumps and caramel My only hope is that one day they’ll get more butter croissants! But don’t get me wrong, they’re trying! They’re ordering extra but they’re in such high demand that they’re going faster than any other danish. So in that case, I guess my hope would be that they’ll one day be able to get enough supply to keep up with the demand! I’ll still forever choose this cafe ?“

“Great venue. L, X“

“omg the food and drinks -- this Foodie has visited 4 times so far... (yes, it's that good) Small menu but super tasty! Stand outs include Treasury Pigs in Blanket, Ahi Tuna Poke, Chicken sandwich, The Burger, and that Fish sandwich!! (fantastic). Admittedly suprised at the tab after 3 rounds of libations (sooo good) -- but the drinks were strong and worthy. Love the chill vibe. Beautiful space, comfy lounge seating. Perfect for FiDi in the historic SF Treasury Building (check out the tin ceiling.) Highly recommend!“

“Great pub for drinks, the food is good!“
