I have come here twice for drinks and some food with friends. We all loved the mezza plate, cheese plate and crudite that we shared. The bread on the mezza plate was very delicious! The only downside for us is that it can be tough to get a table (though you can make a reservation!) and it can get very loud inside and be hard to sit and chat - definitely lives up to the bar name with the volume level. We had a great time, though, and I'm sure we will be back! read more

Fantastic, Fun and Fancy! Finally a nice place to have delicious drinks with yummy food. Carla made the cocktails fast and amazing. The place was packed for a Friday at 4! I want to go back tonight. read more

Corner Bar - The cute caviar bite - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Mill Valley, California

After an SF eater splash and some decent early Yelps I was looking forward to trying this place out. Overall, a serious disappointment and I wont be back. Seating - check out the review by George. He's not wrong about the amount of ass that overlaps table tops during navigation. I took a two top with my parter and the width between the adjoining tables was the length of an iPhone. I have an iPhone mini... Drinks - whisky sour. $10 what a deal! Come out with two nice Amara cherries. Lookin good. Take a sip - yep its sour with about 3 molecules of whisky. I typically appreciate a light pour but this makes that $10 drink no deal. Food - form over function at this point. Could be above average but the chef really needs to think and refine. The three items we ordered were not good. Mezze plate - hummus and muhamara with quinoa pilaf. Very nicely plated with crushed piscachios topping but lacking any attention to refined flavor. Hummus - *way* too salty and sour with no taste of fresh garbanzos, tahini, cumin or garlic (Sabra at Safeway is better). The muhamara was likely made from bland jarred peppers and lacked any brightness from fresh paprika or lemon. Quinoa - cooked nicely but just salt and garlic. Barely mediocre. Duck wings a'lorange - points for an interesting effort but major demerits for the chef not having the sense to pull this item as a fail. Duck not as meaty as chicken and also quite rich. After hitting the deep fryer, which renders out all of the fat, there is a huge bone with a bite or two of very dry stringy meat. The sauce - just sweet, sweet, sweet and a hint of orange. Nasty. Burger - culinary confusion reigns. Who could wreck a $21 burger? CornerBar put in an impressive attempt. Patty, havarti, tzatiiki, pickled onions and catsup? Ok lets take a lead from the shockingly tart and essentially dill-free tzatiiki sauce. If you're gonna make a greek inspired burger why does Denmark represent? Haloumi maybe? Who thought sour pickled onions were a good idea? Tzatiiki *and* catsup? Just no. Get ahold of yourself! Nothing about this burger made any sense and the flavor combo was actually bad. What?!? What's that? I can't hear what you want to tell me about my review. It was 100 decibels in the bar. My hearing is toast... read more

A new gem in Mill Valley. Excellent service and delicious food. Not a family friendly restaurant - better for 21+. Cheap drinks (espresso martini and whiskey sour for $10). I recommend the burger and the chip/dip. The duck wing were good but there was limited meat on the bone - would recommend choosing another dish. Overall would go back! Worth the wait. read more

I wanted to add another review because we tried more food and drinks. AMAZING place, knowledgeable and friendly staff, really great food, and the drinks are delicious. I want to come back all the time. We had a big group and we all loved it. read more

Where so I start... the nitro Grey Goose espresso martinis!!!! $10 happy hour?!?! All day.. EVERY day... I mean, come on.... Tucked away on Throckmorton Avenue, a place to see and be seen. Talk about a hidden gem. Corner Bar Restaurant is worth discovering downtown Mill Valley. The lamb neck dish is outstanding--tender and bursting with flavor. But what really stood out were the cocktails: the "Ultima Palabra" with charred pineapple-infused mezcal and the "Spa Day" featuring Corazón Tequila Reposado were both excellent choices. With amazing service and a posh atmosphere, it's no surprise this spot has become a local favorite overnight. Don't miss out on experiencing it firsthand. I'll probablyyyyy be there, so don't be afraid to say hi. Also, Karla, Jason, Peter, Lance (yes, from the cruising Club)and Henry are excellent at creating the humble and sheik atmosphere we all crave. Thank you for making it happen! Mill Valley needed this cornerstone establishment to visit and to be merry! Cheers. Also... side note, check out the awesome fixtures! LOVE IT. Fraaance. TIP- Order the skewers and pair with the hummus/lettuce cups/pita and the chip dip for delicious bites on the way back from Stinson! read more

Most amazing bar experience I have ever had in my life! Henry the bar lead has amazing knowledge, flavor profiles and the best personality I have ever seen. Between him and Julian this had been the best experience, bar and ambiance in Marin. Everyone must come and ask for Henry absolutely will be a regular here thank you! read more

Best new food spot in Marin. Also nice to hear fun music like 90s rnb and hip-hop...not typical Fleetwood Mac soundtrack of Mill Valley. Open Later..great food..great staff and drinks. read more

The latest "sure, I guess?" spot in Mill Valley from the trio of proverbial cooks whose track record includes Playa (sure, I guess), Bungalow 44 (come for the mashed potato, but expect to want to go and fetch it yourself to bypass the lousy service), and of course, Buckeye Roadhouse, a restaurant so hopelessly bad - and, judging by the message they print on their receipts about paying their staff an equitable salary, slightly evil - that I wince when I see it on my way into the city. But I still went for dinner wanting to love the place. Mill Valley is long overdue a lively place for cocktails - or indeed any venue open after 8pm (which, I suppose, makes Corner Bar a qualified success). It's all roughly as coherent as you'd expect it to be: Anthropologie divorcee interior meets enormous TVs showing sports behind the bar. Girl in workout clothes next to us chatting with the chef, glamorous couple two sea-oh god oh god another giant ass pressed into my shoulder because there's almost literally no room between the tables and people have to choose which orifice will definitely definitely definitely touch a complete stranger as they squeeze by. (I lost my appetite when another butt knocked over my glass at the exact moment a waiter appeared carrying a lank, rubbery, tubular piece of beef on a comically empty plate.) The food is obviously totally incoherent with the decor and vibe and giant TVs playing sport and the constant sound of staff apologizing for the noise and asking people to repeat themselves (I am not exaggerating) - but apart from the rubber kebab, it is fair and might get better. Having said that, in addition to forcing patrons to be ass-to-face with the inhumane table layout, it's one of those places where the chef has never, ever, seen anybody attempt to serve plated food at the table, judging by the size of the dishes (big!) relative to the tables they are served on (very tiny! With lots of asses in your face!). Anyway, the bottom line is: 1) please can somebody else have a go at running a restaurant in Mill Valley now? and 2) sure, I guess? read more

Everything was great. I love this new spot owned by bungalow 44 and The Buckeye. The food is different than their other restaurants. I have no negative thoughts. Can't wait to go back again. read more

We loved this spot! The service was great and the vibes very lively! We ordered the Mezze, burger, and arugula salad and it was so tasty. The portions were large. read more

The ambience and decor were beautiful but the server was a bit condescending and curt. And who up-charges for ordering a martini up? Seriously? That is where they lost me. read more

I want to go back.... but won't until they fix the biggest problem: The sound is deafening, absolutely impossible to hear or converse. Peter and owners, please work on this. You may be loosing business otherwise and that's fixable. Thanks. read more

Been there a couple times and enjoyed it. I mean it's a great location in a picture perfect setting and I wanted to have some drinks and snacks w friends. It wasn't life changing but it hit the mark. I find it comical reading the experiences of the haters though. Too loud. Too crowded. Too cramped. C'mon haters snap out of it. This isn't Cracker Barrel. CB is spearheaded by a qualified restaurant group who decided to invest into a small local historic community trying to help infuse some night life back into it. Yo remember the pandemic? The restaurant business is STILL hurting industry wide locally and nationally. Stop embarrassing yourselves w rotten tomatoes hateful rhetoric and be thankful you have a new place to go to. In the end I'll make my own assessment and if I don't like it I'll keep my opinion to myself and go somewhere else. read more

The noise level was piercing!! The drinks were good. I had a mojito. Yum. Service ok. Nothing else to report.

Great drinks, food and ambiance! We arrived at 5:15pm and able to get their ladt table for four furing this busy holiday time. Highly recommend this restaurant/bar! read more

Service was as bad as it comes. Food was mediocre. I wouldn't recommend this place to others. Would have loved to have a pleasant experience. Unfortunately the waiter was rude and we will not be returning. The ambiance wasn't bad but it was very uncomfortable sitting while people bumped into us read more

A low-key yet elegant place to have delicious drinks and bites in Marin. This is what Marin has been missing for years. I love this place and will be back often! read more

A great new spot. A little bit of an elevated bar we had a great time at a tall table, ordering appetizers and watching the Olympics.

Everything is excellent. Drinks, music, and staff bring some much needed nightlife to mill valley.

This recently opened bar just down the street from me has EXCEEDED my expectations! Not only is the ambiance/decor absolutely lovely but the staff is also very friendly and welcoming. The service was incredible and the drinks and food on the menu are decently priced and delicious! read more

Great experience, lively, the yellowtail collar was fantastic, they seated us quickly, and the cocktails were excellent

Excellent addition to the local scene. Finally a place for adults (no more pizza joints in MV - please). Pretty much top notch without the fuss. The owners seem to be around and want to be directly involved - which is nice to see. The Mill Valley scene has been pretty dismal recent years so I understand why CB is immediately popular. I imagine eventually it will be less crowded and quieter. But for now, prepare to strap in for the ride. Beers are good and well priced. Cocktails are the real deal. Had the Ravioles du Dauphine, which were excellent and not something I see anywhere else closeby.... Throw a bratwurst with scalloped potatoes on the menu. Richtig! read more
