12 Best Bars near Sebastopol

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!“

“Let's go walking Yes ok.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I’ve gone to the Forestville club several times and I always have a good time. Last night I went and when I left, I did not feel normal. I had a couple beers, but I felt very intoxicated and very unwell the next day which does not happen to me from two beers. Ladies watch yourselves don’t leave your drink unattended and watch them pour. I didn’t leave my beer but the bartenders back is to me when he poured, that’s not gonna happen again. I’m 57 and I know what a hangover feels like, this was not that.“

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

“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!“

“Amazing food! Service was great as well. I really good happy hour! Empanadas were good, Limpia, cheesesteak slider and more.“

“Great little pub with fun happy hour drinks + quality HH food for a sweet price. The service is awesome- ask for Talia, and the bartender Jessie makes a perfect old fashioned! The well bourbon they use for it is Buffalo Trace which is included on the HH price. YAY! The tacos are tasty and big enough to share. Add some guac and fries with their trio dipping sauces, you'll definitely be leaving happy and your wallet too!“

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