There's music playing, but it's at a perfect level where you can still easily hold a conversation. The bar area also has multiple TVs if you're looking to catch a game. 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.

Problem started when fireplace my picture empty got invaded by more half a dozen adults, kids, strollers, with loud noise makers. I am all for NYE celebrations, but our food came out and this group stood all around us, rude, obnoxious, made videos kids. Completely not acknowledging they are at a bar/lounge eatery. I knew it would get worse and asked boxes to pack up our food and leave. Servers were understanding and kind, but more groups kids coming in such small area. 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. Food was good, fresh, but it was insane environment. Your liquor license should be revoked.. plan on hearing from ABC. Toddlers sitting AT THE BAR literally on the bar counter.

Hearing the stories behind the restaurant while tasting dishes that have been enjoyed for generations makes for something far more memorable than just a meal. The guacamole was the best I've ever had, fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. The salsas were light yet flavorful, and the corn was delicious. The presentation was minimalistic but still managed to stand out. The carne asada tacos were a generous portion, and the fresh tortillas made all the difference. What really stood out was that everything was made from scratch, and you could truly taste the care and quality in every bite. The hot chocolate was wonderful and is a must try if you enjoy a rich cinnamon hot chocolate. Experiencing the oldest restaurant in Napa is incredibly special, and it's a place that captures the heart and soul of the valley. A must visit for anyone looking to enjoy not only great food, but also a piece of Napa's history.

Located next to the Oxbow I highly recommend taking a quick detour to stop by this brewery. I tried the War of Art IPA, and while I'm a pretty big fan of their beer, this one stood out as a crisp, easy, drinkable IPA that quenches your thirst and cools you off n a warm day. The bartender was extremely helpful and attentive and kept the line moving fast. I order the kale Caesar salad and it was pleasantly delicious. If you like Caesar dressing I recommend ordering an extra side but I found the light dressing to work really well with the Cale and accoutrement.

This place is predominantly a beer place, but they do have a nice selection of about six wines. They also have an inside burger place which looked pretty good. Our bartender was amazing. She was the only one behind the bar and was helping a ton of people. Her attitude makes this place vibe and grove! To the OWNERS, this young lady makes your location amazing and I hope whatever it is you're paying her, you give her a raise!!! So if you're looking for a wine bar after 9 o'clock and a down to earth location with plenty of TVs and an amazing bartender, KAT, and great hamburgers .....this is your place!

The only miss was the caramelized onions, they tasted more sautéed than fully caramelized. The loaded fries were basically a meal on their own, super filling. The beers we picked for our flight were all really good too. I was a little disappointed I couldn't mix and match a 4-pack and also couldn't buy a single can of the specific beer I wanted. So I left with no beer. Overall it's a great spot, I'll definitely be back!

Sam was so welcoming, we felt like he'd been waiting all day for us to stop in by the way he greeted us, and made sure our time there was amazing. From the game nights to the food trucks, this tap room hosts a calendar full of fun sounding, community building events. Oh, and they have a menu of award winning beers! I highly recommend Trade Brewing as a perfect way to round out your Napa Valley experience, stop in for a flight of their best and ask for Sam.

We stopped by here on a Wednesday night and had the back patio all to ourselves. When we walked…read moreback inside to close out our tab, we saw a full-fledged bingo night underway. It looked like a lot of fun. This place definitely feels like a local hangout. There's a decent selection of beer on tap, of course. There's also a bar bites menu. We opted for the coney dogs ($12), which were huge and were smothered in a sweet chili. Very good. We also shared a plate of the dirty chips ($12), which are basically nachos made with kettle chips instead of tortilla chips. Also a good choice. If pub fare isn't your thing, the bartender said they don't object to you bringing your own food. Trade is located across the street from OxBow so there are plenty of food options if you want to go that route.

From the outside it doesn't look like a garden or even a beer garden but this place is a full on sports bar. The US mens national team was playing at noon for the world cup but we showed up at 10:30 am. The owner told us he was stressed because the whole place was reserved and packed for the game which wasn't very welcoming. The servers looked extremely busy so we kept having to ask whoever ran by for something we needed. The food, thankfully , was spectacular. I had the biscuit breakfast sandwich no cheese with sausage and I wish I could have fit another in my stomach. The biscuit was huge and flaky and tender and the eggs were fluffy. I shared it with my kid with a side of tots and it was scrumptious. I asked for the aioli on the side but it was lemony with a spicy kick. I hadn't had something like that but it was a nice fresh creamy taste with the tots and sandwich.

It's a large open space with…read moreplenty of tables and seating, with a high ceiling, hanging plants, and the occasional bird flying around. Lots of different options on draft! It was pretty empty on a Saturday morning around 11:30am, which might be because of the location (kind of at the far end of downtown, and we had to find street parking 2 blocks away). We opted for a flight, which was 5 of the Tannery beers on draft, for $16 - a great deal in my opinion. My friend expressed interest in one of the sours that wasn't on the menu for the flight, and they were kind enough to give us an extra taste of that one without us even asking! They had food offerings, but we were still full from brunch, so didn't get to try them out. Overall, cute place that would be a great option to hang out over beers and some food - looks like they do some really cool events too.

The record selection is incredible -- thoughtfully curated with everything from classics to hard-to-find gems -- and you can tell it's run by people who genuinely love music. The food is just as impressive, with a creative, fresh menu. The dishes use the highest quality ingredients, from cheeses and charcuterie to the baguette for the jamón sandwich. What really sets Folklore apart is the atmosphere they've built through their live music and community events. From intimate performances to fun gatherings, there's always something happening that makes the space feel vibrant and alive. Where else in Napa are you going to see a live performance from an amazing indie band like Suzzallo or attend a listening party for the latest Morrissey album! It's more than just a record shop or restaurant -- it feels like a true community hub for music lovers. The staff are also fantastic: welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Every visit feels personal and memorable. Folklore is the kind of place that gives Napa real character, and I can't recommend it enough.
