50 Best Bars near Sausalito

“International flavor...great patio and vibe. It's a landmark.“

“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.“

“Very good..................“

“Sadly, a day for Celebration of life gathering and Remembrance. A spectacular historical spot Travis Marina Bar & Grill located as part of the history of Fort Point, Cavalo Inn and Lodge Property's. The Travis Marina holds the very traditional buildings with its small Marina and Horse Shoe Cove with the most spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge-SF. The medium size event space was perfect to share stories and reflect on a life well lived, a longtime Friend, whom sailed his boat on the Bay, Crewed on racing teams and wore his Kilts. This hidden gem, right in our own back yard has much to offer in upgraded hiking trails, with Park benches and includes The Discovery Museum on the park site. Sausalito is my most memorable place to spend time.“

“Delicious food and wonderful ambiance. Loved by locals and tourists!“

“Visiting from Adelaide Australia best Mexican we have had. Great service.“

“The food is amazing! Mauro Dosolini and his staff are the best!“

“It was our first time and we were definitely pleased. Everything was delicious!“

“I had an incredible experience at Smuggler's Cove! The atmosphere is absolutely unique, with a fun, immersive tiki-inspired design that makes the whole visit feel like an escape.

The cocktail menu is outstanding—creative, balanced, and expertly crafted. Every drink I tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and really enhanced the overall experience with great recommendations.

Despite being lively and popular, the service was efficient and well-managed. Overall, Smuggler’s Cove stands out as one of the best cocktail bars in San Francisco for its atmosphere, quality drinks, and memorable vibe. I highly recommend it and would definitely come back again!“

“The drinks are fine and the food is ok. We took a spice bag to go as we wanted to enjoy it later. We heard a lot of hype around it as it's the only place in the bay area that has one. Unfortunately it was just so salty and the spice blend wasn't it compared to the real thing. It's great to even see a spice bag on a menu anywhere in California but I just wasn't a fan. Stick to the pints and you'll be fine.“

“Awesome Tiki Bar and a must visit if your into Tiki or themed bars“

All the festive touches around the restaurant made the event feel extra special, and the food and drinks were a huge hit. Our team had such a great time!
Thank you Lost Resort!“

“Cool fun bar on the edge of nob Hill. Very large interior, but very ordinary. Music is good, locals are good, bartenders here are generally great. Mainly go here for big gatherings. But style here is not the main concern. There are some bar games.“

“Amazing staff. Lovely owners out of this work drinks and mock tails and the plants !!!!“

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

The drinks are solid and well-priced, and the bartenders are friendly, quick, and keep the atmosphere easygoing and welcoming. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or staying for a few rounds with friends, it always feels comfortable and unpretentious.
If you’re looking for a reliable local bar with good energy and a chill crowd, Last Call Bar is definitely a great choice. 🍻✨“

“I threw a birthday party here and I was so pleased with how everything turned out. Debi, the owner is very professional and quick to respond to email and a pleasure to coordinate with. All of the staff were extremely friendly, from the bartenders, waitress and the doorman (who greeted all my guests!). The bar has a lot of seating and is very spacious with great decor. Food is also delicious, which my guests enjoyed. Highly recommend the quesasdillas. Thank you Debi and team for making my birthday so memorable. I recommend throwing your next event here.“

“If I'm in San Francisco, it's a mandatory stop for me for an evening or late-night bite!“

“Trashy clientele, inconsistent and overpriced drinks, broken games, and early closing because the staff is lazy. This place is a joke, a disgrace to the Emporium name.“

“Always fun place wonderful experience“

“Fantastic food, friendly waitstaff and live music on the weekend. You won’t be disappointed! Great place to bring the whole family.“

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

“What a fantastic spot in the financial district! We were staying in town for a wedding, and this was such a great spot close to our hotel. Patrick (the owner) and his team were all a 10/10! Can’t wait to return.“

“I quit drinking before the judge ordered me to—how is that for initiative? Since that last call, no bar has captured my attention. Nor have I returned to any of the bars I enjoyed around here. I’m from the east coast—a pub near a rail station which draws a crowd free of pretense is proper nurture. Glen Park Station is welcoming, comfortable, fun, and built for a night done right.

There are non-alcoholic brews for those who abstain, shot-and-a-beer specials for $12.00, wine by the glass, and an indoor smoking lounge. A pinball machine which takes dollar bills. Darts. Superior bar stools. Table seating up front. A rear patio. No Apple Pay.The bar has neighboring businesses which serve food. One can find Vietnamese, Thai, and Mexican fare within a block. The bodega sits across from BART, on the same side of Diamond St. A pizza place is in proximity. This area has a low-key dominance about it. A great spot for socializing, a walkable pocket of the city wherein small businesses sling good eats, and you have the option to get hammered.

Parking is available in the public library lot after 6, 7, 8PM during the week. Street parking on the northbound lane of Bosworth between Arlington & Diamond is free in the evenings. I am not sure when the meters stop accepting payment-I pulled up at 7:30PM on a Monday.

To those behind the wheel—be advised—residential streets intersect as sharp turns become sudden hills. At all hours there are pedestrians, cyclists, and coyotes. SFPD often posts a patrol vehicle on Bosworth (south of the Arlington intersection) to eyeball the I-280 south on-ramp.“

“Me and my best friend came and were sold we had the best espresso martinis it was amazing service was top-tier shout out to Bryan because he was super nice super edgy super sweet I couldn’t have gotten any better we stayed longer than we should and longer than we could because it was just that amazing come again“

“Best bar in the mission. Do you want a perfect margarita with impeccable service every time? No other establishment compares. Best bartender!! Amazing service. Free snacks. 10 out of 10 every time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good service friendly bartenders“

“Can’t beat the rustic atmosphere and the bartender was very friendly and informative.“

“Beautiful and knowledgeable staff! Clean and safe ! European flair ! A must see!!“

“Lively environment and customers. Really fun!“

“Their Chandelier, the drink, not the light fixture, is amazing. I saw a liqueur i was unfamiliar with, Cynar, and the bartender told me all about it. Sebastian introduced me to two incredible cocktails made with it. It's rare to find a bartender that is so willing to share their love of their craft with an ignorant beer guy like me without being snobby. I can't wait to go here next time I'm in SF.“

“😃🥰nice place for cocktails“

“Nice place & the best bartenders!“

“awesome pub very friendly gutted we only found it last night highly recommended 👌“

“Wonderful Bar tender Alec and staff 😄. Loved it!“

“Had such a lovely time at this quaint B&B in SF. The staff was very friendly, as were the other guests. The breakfast had a nice selection of pastries, and the coffee was plentiful 🥐 ☕️ The room was cozy and pretty clean. Loved having the wine social hour in the evening - twas a perfect chance to hang out in one of the many outdoor areas 😍 Great neighborhood too!“

“Great venue. L, X“

“Amazingly weird, a real gem. Strange and wonderful interior with a wildly good beer selection and the owner, Remat, is a genuine “only in SF” character. Go for the decor, stay for the sour beer, and support a neighborhood bar that could never be imitated.“

“My friend and I went looking for a day bar for a drink to catch up and luckily they were open around 4 in the afternoon!

This neighborhood bar really feels like a local spot. Well lit during the day with ample counter seating and tables, along with a billiards table for some friendly competition.

Bartender was really friendly and eager to share what beers and ciders were on tap. Selection mostly made up of local drafts meaning the quality was really good.

Love finding these little neighborhood gems and I hope they continue to last for as long as possible.“
