Town Square Inc Cocktail Bar • $
482 1st St E, Sonoma

“A watering hole for the locals, it's a charming place with a jukebox to select your music. Dan, the bartender, is a nice guy who can provide a helpful ear if you wanna unburden yourself. Dan also makes a mean blood mary, which is described as the best in town on the directory board. I agree with that ad, twas a bloody good bloody mary ! You get a shrimp with it !!!!It's a small place with about 3-4 booths and easy to miss when walking in Sonoma downtown. We found it only coz it was 9:30pm and this was one of the few places open. FYI, its open till late night. Preferably, walk to this place.The locals are friendly and provide good stories you can sit and provide half an ear to when watching basketball or ice hockey. If you are interested, you can even watch star trek TNG.No food is available here though except for packaged chips. But deftly a lovely place to end your day at.A for sure return visit for me next time I'm in sonoma downtown.

Parking: Parking is on the street around the town square which can fill up pretty quickly. And its only a 2-3 hour parking.“

“Great evening in Sonoma. This restaurant was recommended by two different people and it did not disappoint. The staff was delightful and the atmosphere was very comfortable. There was a wide selection of options of meat and non-meat dishes. I had the schnitzel and could not have been happier. I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area.“

“The patio was very nice and the staff amicable, but there were wasps around our table, some attracted by previously-spilled food on the floor, and apparently the restaurant only had one “anti-wasp” device, so we had to finish our meal inside.“

“This is a very attractive dining room. I brought a friend here for her birthday and she was very happy with my choice. Everything was very good. Our server was so sweet. Very helpful and friendly. The food was good, but nothing outstanding. I did enjoy the french fries :-) alot.... The desserts were outrages, and you have a nice wine list. But so noisy. I know this bothers some people and not others. It did bother me. Lots of echo..“
