With a wasabi and fennel infused vodka, it was too unique not to be curious about. Upon arriving and looking over the menu, SEVERAL cocktails stood out to me as intriguing to try. I started with the Wabi Sabi which was as interesting as it sounded. While I didn't pick up on fennel, you do pick up on the wasabi, but in the most subtle of ways. Think maybe lime/ginger sparkling water with just a hint of spice. Refreshing and different for sure. I also tried the Mucha Lucha w/ cilantro infused Siete Leguas Blanco, chorizo infused mezcal and cubes made of hot sauce that make the drink have a bit more of a kick as you allow them to melt. I did the HH chips and guac which was also accompanied with a tasty Chipotle sauce. Damn good actually. It'd be excellent served in a variety of ways. The deviled eggs aren't going to blow your mind, but I like that you get 4 different ones- and simply because I love eggs, I'd order them again. (They just wouldn't be a dish that brings me back). The bartender was great- helpful and attentive, even as more people began to filter in for an early afternoon. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Napa to check out some other menu options.

So of course, after our spirit tasting at Napa Valley, we walked a short distance to the ArBARetum. We grabbed a table outside and the two gentlemen in our group got the complimentary cocktails. We also ordered the Pastrami Nachos, which was a big hit. We had a short but enjoyable visit here but didn't want to be late for our dinner reservation, right next door at Scala! Of course, we'll return for more great cocktails and friendly service!

We popped in and found JV behind the bar, spinning great music ahead of an event they were hosting. He made some drink suggestions and they were 100/10! I got the Manhattan and Old Fashioned while my wife got the white gummy (wish we got a picture of them but the quality was perfect). The energy was instantly welcoming and refreshingly unpretentious. Great tunes, great atmosphere, and a bartender who clearly knows how to make great drinks. We asked what music they normally play and they responded it depends. At their busy times it's mostly hip hop and R&B, other times the bartender's will throw some music on. I would suggest stopping in to have a great cocktail and see what they're playing. This was a fun, unexpected stop that made our night even better. Shout out to JV for the fun experience! I didn't catch the other staff members names but they were funny and welcoming as well. Here is a picture of JV in a stitch beanie his Manager brought him.

Between the two of us we finished everything! It was that good! For our main entree we got Creamy Salmon Poke Bowl and Tofu Poke bowl and they were both delicious. Each one had different toppings.

Service: the staff were very nice. We came as they were getting ready to open so there was no line. Once we ordered the food and drinks came right away. Ambiance: I love the ambiance. Love the decor. It was giving Island Vibes and feels. And the music was nice too. Oh by the way they have an awesome second floor/rooftop lounge.

The bartender was super kind and sweet, which always makes the experience better. We ordered Painkillers (our go-to at tiki bars). The flavor was a little different than what we're used to, not super pineapple-forward, but still good and unique. The bartender shared that the syrups are made in house, and the presentation was definitely fun. Overall, I'd recommend this spot if you're looking for a relaxed place to hang out, sip on some drinks, and enjoy island vibes. They didn't have live music entertainment when we were there, but it looks like they do host live music at times, which would be a great bonus.

The space offers more than just drinks, with a small bowling alley (six lanes) and a pool table, making it a great spot to hang out. Bathrooms are located just outside the lounge, down the hall near the elevators. Service has consistently been solid during my visits. Staffing has never been an issue, and it's always been easy to get help at the bar. The drinks are well-made and flavorful, though on the pricier side. The only food I've tried so far is the carnitas nachos, and they're definitely worth ordering. Overall, it's a fun spot for both adults and kids, and it's usually our first stop after checking in.

I blame management, get yourself a HOSTESS, someone that manages seating. This was worse than a club or bar with everyone drinking because it was parents getting shots tequila, with kids, not caring about any other guests.

We were exploring downtown Napa during the winter break and came across this intriguing new spot…read more I decided to check them out. We dropped in during a late Sunday afternoon recently. Marquee Pinball Lounge just opened in May 2025. They are located in a nice area in beautiful downtown Napa. Parking is accessible in the street parking around downtown and designated small parking lots. The pinball lounge was vibrant, small but had just the right amount of pinball machines. There was a nice lounge area in the middle that looked inviting. The vibe was family friendly and lively. Definitely a welcome addition to wine country. My son played a few pinball machine games and had a lot of fun. It brought back nostalgia when I use to play pinball machines back in the day. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Marquee Pinball Lounge. The staff were friendly and accommodating. There was a solid selection of both alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks available. I thought the concept of pinball machines, a lounge, and drinks was unique, different, and has a lot of potential. We hope to be back with friends during an evening out.
