Starling Sonoma

Without a doubt, this is the best dive bar in Sonoma. The Vieux Carre is exceptional, and the bartenders are true mixologists. The pizza, hot dogs, and meatball sandwich, along with the chocolate chip cookies, are some of the finest bar food you’ll come across. With live music on most weekends and Sundays, this is the perfect bar to have in your neighborhood.

This bar offers a fantastic selection of house-made infusions that are cleverly incorporated into creative cocktails. The dimly lit decor sets a unique atmosphere, and you can enjoy delicious pizzas topped with figs, along with an assortment of upscale bar snacks.

This spot is an absolute gem! It was conveniently located next to our hotel, so we decided to walk over for some drinks. They have an excellent selection of beers, but the cocktails are truly the highlight. It's genuinely a wonderful place. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed, and the bartender is extremely friendly. I would highly recommend it—10/10!

We ordered a large rum cocktail decorated with fresh flowers. The music was alright, featuring instrumental pop songs, and the bartender was friendly. The bar area was quite small. We only stayed for a short while, but the bartender mentioned they had a lively '80s band perform earlier. They have live music on the last Thursday of every month.

This is an incredibly cool pub with fantastic bartenders. It's got a laid-back, trendy vibe. The drink selection is excellent, featuring a wide variety of beers on tap!
