The Sonoma Bar and Grill

Steps from the Sonoma Plaza, the Sonoma Bar and Grill is where locals and visitors meet over honest food and well-made drinks. Our kitchen focuses on American grill classics elevated with Sonoma County's extraordinary local ingredients — grass-fed beef from Marin Sun Farms, produce from the Tuesday farmers' market, and cheeses from the creameries that dot the surrounding countryside.

Drinks

Wine

We pour an all-Sonoma County wine list. By-the-glass selections rotate weekly, featuring producers from the Sonoma Valley, Russian River Valley, and Dry Creek Valley appellations.

Cocktails

Classic cocktails made properly — no shortcuts, no gimmicks. Our bartenders focus on balance and fresh ingredients.

Beer

A curated selection of Northern California craft beers on draft, plus bottles from Sonoma County breweries.

The Space

The Bar and Grill occupies a corner building near the Plaza with a long mahogany bar, exposed brick walls, and a covered patio that catches the afternoon sun. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming — come as you are, whether you've been wine tasting all day or walking the dog around the square.

Live Music

Local musicians play Thursday through Saturday evenings on the patio. The lineup leans toward acoustic acts, jazz combos, and singer-songwriters who match the laid-back Sonoma vibe.

Pull up a stool and stay a while.
