Top Nightlife Spots in Sonoma County

In addition to local craft beers paired with barbecue-inspired fare, this outdoor dining and beer garden experience offers live music Thursday to Saturday nights, and Sunday afternoons; Thursdays are Bluegrass & Bourbon Nights. With more than 350 outdoor seats, Brewsters is best in the warm weather that summer and fall bring.

It's not often that you find an upscale cocktail bar that also knows how to party, which is why we love Duke's Spirited Cocktails on Healdsburg's downtown plaza. With a music mix of the '90s through today, you're bound to hear your song, and the bartenders will always welcome you with a twinkle in their eyes. 

Duke's amazing craft cocktails often include Sonoma County-made  liquors and bitters, as well as ingredients harvested from their own garden. Their slogan is, "When it comes to the products we use behind the bar, if we can make it or grow it ourselves, we will. If we can't, we will make sure it's the best we can buy." 

Located in the heart of Geyserville in the historic Odd Fellows Building, the G.G.C. offers classic and seasonal cocktails in a casual, quirky-Western atmosphere. Their hearty bar menu focuses on Latin and Asian street food, as well as fresh fish crudos. Every Saturday night, the "Gun Club" screens movies like Top Gun and The Godfather  (without sound) and features live music by local artists.

This full-amenity gaming resort offers specialty drinks in three settings: the G sports bar, with more than 42 flat screen TVs; the 8, a VIP lounge providing a semi-private and elegant atmosphere in the high-limit area; and the Sky, with a 360-degree, diamond-shaped center bar. Casual dining is offered in four restaurants, and there's also a food court with seven eateries.

Two of this this small local brewery chain's three locations are set in Sonoma County. In Sebastopol, Hopmonk occupies a rustic 105-year-old stone and timber building, and in Sonoma, it's in a formerly private home built in 1888. Both sites offer a beer garden, live music, and moderately priced menus that offer traditional and innovative pairings of beer and food. See their live music schedule for Hopmonk Sebastopol and Hopmonk Sonoma.  

Housed together in a charming 1911 building, these two locally owned businesses provide a meeting, eating, and entertainment spot for the enjoyment of locals and fun-loving visitors. The theater/saloon is a live music concert venue with a full bar, presenting an eclectic variety of sounds from rock to funk, blues, roots, reggae, ska, and Western swing. The restaurant features traditional but innovative American cuisine, with dishes like a pork lover's mac 'n cheese, BBQ tri-tip, and chicken fettuccine. See the current music lineup for the Mystic Theater.
