We stopped by the Hollywood Room to have a couple drinks and enjoy some live music before heading to another event. Located in the Napa Valley Distillery, it's a beautiful space that combines both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe here was very casual on a Saturday. We enjoyed the sounds of Robert Gastellum's Latin Jazz Fusion Band doing their thing on the congas, trumpet, sax, keyboard, drums, and bass. It was cool entertainment, even if the sound quality wasn't perfect. For drinks, we ordered a Whiskey Sour and Strawberry Coast at the bar, and the staff said they'd bring it out to our seats. The wait times were a bit long for what I expected with the bar being fairly empty earlier in the evening. But the workers were friendly. The Strawberry Coast was delicious, though a tad too sweet for my taste. Overall, this is a cool spot especially if they have a show going on, no fee, just good times... and a parking lot too. read more

I'm a big fan of speakeasy's and the creative bartenders and drinks one can usually find in these types of establishments. After dinner at Napa Valley Bistro we decided to drop by here on a Saturday night. They had a lady singing in the warehouse area and were charging a $5 cover charge. We had no interest in listening to the music so when I asked a guy at the front if we could just go to the bar and have a drink, he said "sure". So we didn't have to pay the cover which was nice. We walked over to the bar and sat down, (we were the only ones in the bar). The bartender Alexander greeted us and gave us a couple of menus. The drinks listed seemed very good but I was looking to go off menu. First Alexander made me a Tequila drink that was very good. The wife ordered the Flamenco, another Tequila drink that has Passionfruit syrup and Raspberry Shrub. This was very good as well. For my next drink Alexander asked me if I liked Scotch. I told him that I didn't really drink Scotch but he had a drink in mind that he thought I would like. I don't know what it was. It was a tad spirit forward but it was good as well. Fot my next drink I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with Gin or Rum but Alexander recommended their Mai Tai. Looking at the ingredients on the menu this is not your mother's Mai Tai. No Coconut, no Orange or Pineapple Juice. Other than Orgeat it looks like their version is pretty much all Rum. While making the drink Alexander torched a cinammon stick and dropped some Lime peel curls over the glass. It was quite the presentation. Sadly, the drink was just a bit too strong for me. It just seemed like drinking a big glass of Rum. After noticing that I was not thrilled with the Mai Tai Alexander said he would happily make me something else. So I asked him for an Industry Sour and he said he could make on with Gin. He brought me the drink and whatever Amaro he used for the drink was verey potent. Very strong herbal components and a big hint of minty flavor. It was a bit overpowering but I respected the drink. I asked Alexander if he could make it a touch sweeter and he added some more simple syrup and that improved the drink quite a bit. A few regulars came in while we were there and asked for Espresso Martini's. I've had a few Espresso Martini's in my time and I even make my own version at home with Vanilla Vodka, homemade Kahlua and Luxardo Espresso Liquer. But the ones that Alexander made had to be the most elaborate I've ever seen. I saw him put drops of something into the shaker tins and do some dry shaking before making the drinks. He also torched cinammon sticks and laid them across the top of the glasses. I've never seen an Espresso Martini made this way. Made me want to try one. Overall the experience at the Hollywood Room was very good. Alexander is a great bartender that certainly knows his craft. He was very open to trying things and surprising me with drinks that I hadn't had before, which I really like. I would say that he's not super outgoing though. Maybe he's just a reserved, quiet guy. read more

This is a small cocktail bar within the same business as Napa Valley distillery. The distillery serves hard liquor, so this is a great place for a sweet beverage at the end. Their customer base is typically those who are attending the tour so it's not a very crowded area. Great staff, great service. read more

Fun and funky cocktail bar and live music concert venue right outside downtown Napa. Get away from the tourists, check out a cool local bar and catch some of the best up and coming musicians in their live lounge. Can't wait to check out a comedy show in this space! The muffaletta Pizza was dank. The flamenco was spicy. Service was a little slow, but it was worth the wait. read more

The best bar experience in Napa. They have the best selection of premium alcohol you'll find at any bar they don't skimp out on the pours, and you see and taste every aspect of the quality of ingredients that they've chosen for their drinks. Their drinks are second only to their service and staff they will help you pick out the perfect drink based on your taste. The spot is a very cool throwback to 1950s golden age of Hollywood creating an awesome old time ambience. If you're in Napa and you're looking for a good drink, you have to stop by at the Hollywood room read more

My first time here on a Thursday trivia night, and the experience was very enjoyable. This bar, associated with its local distillery, has very talented individuals that oversee the bar. The bartender Kent is easily identified as a passionate and adept mixologist. He was eager to explain the history of their business and delivered expertly crafted cocktails all the while, some house cocktails and some of his own design. If you see him at the bartop you are guaranteed a good experience. Additionally, Alexander, another bartender, was very attentive to our group and provided his own knowledge of the business and brand. Both were very friendly and were the highlight of my experience at this location. read more

This place is tucked deeper than lint in my bellybutton. Great place for drinks and cool entertainment. Sound production could be better but they did the best with what they had. Drinks were super fancy and unnecessarily beautiful. My favorite part is the faint smell of cigars in the air. read more

When the owner's wife parks her Bentley in the handicap spot (without proper designation) it makes one go "Hmmm."

Love love love this place! Alexander is by far one of the best bartenders we've encountered. Definitely will not disappoint. Highly recommend. read more
