Smash burger w/ fries - So delicious!!!
Shayla B.

Strong and tasty cocktails, deliciously juicy burgers, and live Jazz music?! I'm ALWAYS in the "spirit" for that! Bring it oooonnn!! Oh Spirit Bar, where have you been all my life? Healdsburg has gotten another gem and this is it! Came here with my step sister after doing some wine tasting and we had a spectacular time. The Spirit Bar is nestled inside of the beautiful Hotel Healdsburg. It's got comfy booth seating and a warm fireplace inside and a gorgeous covered patio space where they often have live Jazz music. We made it just in time for happy hour and enjoyed some live music while indulging in some delicious booze and grub. Speaking of booze; they've got the goods here! The cocktails are on point and stroooong. I had "A Cocktail for Carl" and my sis had the CP Negroni. Both drinks were fabulous! My drink was spicy, crisp, and refreshing. They've got an awesome happy hour here too with some great discounts on drinks and snacks. We decided to split the Smash Burger since we had been snacking all day at the wineries. Best devious that we could have made! The Smash Burger had a lean, thick, and juicy patty that was stacked up for the Gawds. A nice grilled bun with thick slices of crispy bacon and a nice load of fresh veggies. Everything that you'd want in a delicious burger. And it was damn good too. The shoe string fries were perfectly crispy! I loved dipping them in the aioli sauce that brought us in addition to the ketchup. We later shared a strawberry shortcake for dessert and it nearly melted in my mouth. So soft and creamy. We both loved it. The live music was fun and entertaining. We were seated outside and didn't realize how quickly it gets cold when the sun goes down. Unfortunately, they didn't have any heat lamps out on their patio. Make sure to bring a sweater if you get cold. The bartenders and the outside servers were all really nice and attentive. It got a bit busy during the Jazz show, but they did their best to accommodate everyone and I appreciated that. Such a fun night! I'm excited to come back for more yummy cocktails and live music again real soon.

Jason is awesome, he always makes my daughter and I feel welcome. We regularly eat the clam chowder "a la minute" together with the freshly baked focaccia bread. Highly recommend you try it yourself! Oh and he makes a a decent cocktail too

Saturday nights: free live jazz music. Drinks menu is abbreviated but has classic concoctions. My Moscow mule was delicious. Reasonable price food menu. My steak & frites, $24, was satisfying. The French fries were crispy and flavorful without being too salty. The steak had lots of flavor. Meat was soothingly tender. Room was not crowded. Noise level low enough to hear the trio of musicians. Good place to spend a mellow early evening.

I'm reluctantly letting you all in on a secret: Spirit Bar is one of our favorite spots in Healdsburg! When everywhere else is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, Spirit Bar, in the Hotel Healdsburg lobby, is quietly open. Happy Hour is available daily from 5:30-7:00pm. The bites menu is limited but you can't go wrong. We opted for Market Vegetable Salads and Smash Burgers with bacon and cheese - the lettuce, tomato, red onion, animal sauce and ketchup were served on the side. The semi-deconstructed presentation is a win and let us control the sauces. The fries were crispy and SALTY, and we loved every last lick! We enjoy their list of local wines (Hello Zichichi Zin!) but the best drink in my humble opinion is A Cocktail for Carl! Live music is played on the weekends and seats are in high demand! So the next time you're in town and you can't find a place to eat or drink, have a seat at the Spirit Bar bar or by the fireplace or at one of the other cozy tables. Relax and enjoy!

2nd time around 8oz burger and fries.

Ambience, craft cocktails, music, happy hour, excellent service and food, wait, more on the food below. We parked on a busy Saturday in Healdsburg. All I wanted was to hear live Jazz @ruthahlers and not excess chattering and I found it. We were graciously welcomed with a door opening from a manager. We entered the bar and since it was an unusual cool evening I was glad the band was indoors. We sat down, perused the menu and ordered our drinks from the happy hour menu, a dirty martini that was smooth, a well balanced vodka ratio. The other drink was a gin & tonic the gin was from @Griffodistillery in Petaluma another winning combo. Kudos to the bartender a true mixologist, they know how to make a tasty & well balanced drink. Now for the food. We decided to order a burger, something to keep the alcohol in check. They don't mess around with portions. It's described as 8oz of beef, now according to my calculations that's 1/2 pound. We decided to share the burger. It came with perfectly,thin sliced fries, I liked that they weren't overly salted and condiment to add as you pleased. The waitress brought us a knife & extra plate. As we slice into the plump, visually perfect, charred burger, it was raw inside. Now it's pretty dark in the bar, but we could see this bright red meat, we even turned the phone camera on it. This is totally unacceptable and dangerous, if we didn't slice this burger in half we would have chomped down on it. I don't know how this could come out of the @drycreekkitchen. They need to put/buy/use a thermometer into those burgers and cook til 160 degrees. We returned it and asked for a cooked burger, waitress obliged, we kept the fries to munch on. We didn't get our new burger for over 25 minutes by then we were hungry so I decided to order the burrata plate. She took the order then came back to say it was sold out. 5 minutes later the perfectly cooked burger came out and it could be eaten. The music and ambience was so nice it was a good distraction from the burger fiasco. We filled our belly with cooked burger and drink. I decided to satisfy my sweet tooth and order dessert, the olive oil cake. Waitress took the order and again it was sold out so I went with the Lemon bar recommendation. It was a sliver of bar but nicely presented. In summary, it's a beautiful lounge bar, superb drinks, service and the music is a bonus. Food selection is very limited, though they are open during the dining hours. I think they should reimagine the food menu for the bar. Small bites, for those that want to stay and enjoy the music or pre-dinner pit stop. Make good use of that kitchen.

Jason is a beautiful human who makes beautiful drinks. Whether it's a slow Wednesday night, or a packed Saturday for jazz, you can feel confident knowing you'll get great service and an even better drink.

I love this place for outdoor live music and delicious drinks! The staff is super professional, and friendly without hovering-they seem genuine. I'm only giving 4 stars since they don't offer much for vegan folks-we get fries or tater tots. To be fair, it is a bar, not a full restaurant, but hummus, carrots, chips and olives could be added. I just eat before I go so that I can enjoy the stunning outdoor environment and live jazz. It's really lovely - recommend!

But now I'm giving their happy hour 5 stars. We sat downstairs at their beautiful bar. Great service, a fantastic $15 medium rare (my personal favorite) burger with grilled onions, cheese, and a smoky umami flavor, regular order sized, and a separate generous little gem salad with Danish blue cheese ($13) plus fries ($6). It's a concise menu, but the burger is good and each offering is full sized and high quality. There is either a $9 Negroni or margarita or what appealed to us: the sci-fi, tech-looking Wine Wall, with 88 open bottles from around the world. Forget traditional wine tasting, this is around the world wine tasting. Choose from 88 wines, grab their wine "credit card," and sample multiple pours side by side. Pair them with great food, enjoy happy hour, and discover and compare wines made by a myriad of wineries and winemakers.

We live in Sacramento to Healdsburg is only a two hour drive away. I was beyond happy to see that we're wasn't a wait when we arrived. They are tons of cute velvet couches in all different colors and the busking itself is very tall with huge ceiling and really amazing decorations. We received excellent service and I was blown away at how amazing their Pinot Noir selection was. Only $35 for 5 pours! I felt so relaxed and not at all rushed. Some live music was getting ready to start when we left and I was sad we couldn't stay for that but now I know for next time. This was such a beautiful wine and music lounge and i'm very excited to visit again.

Sheri, our server, was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming throughout our entire meal. We came with our 4-year-old son and had asked for the chicken parmesan with the sauce on the side. The chef, Shari, actually came out to our table and offered to split the order so part could be prepared exactly how we wanted it. He went above and beyond and even came back out later to make sure everything was perfect for us. That kind of personal attention really stood out. The gnocchi was AMAZING. The texture was perfect, and the sauce was so flavorful -- definitely one of the highlights of our meal. They also have a fantastic wine selection. Their sommelier came over to help us choose and pair our wines, taking the time to share his knowledge and recommendations with us. It made the experience even more special. And, of course, we had to finish with a cappuccino, which did not disappoint! Wonderful food, excellent wine, genuinely thoughtful service, and such a welcoming experience for our family. Everything was 10/10. We will absolutely be back!

The menu was extensive, and everything we ordered was delicious and plentiful. I had the veal parmigiana with spaghetti, while my husband ordered the veal piccata. We also shared a generous Caesar salad and a caprese appetizer that were both easily enough for two. The service was excellent from start to finish. And to make my birthday even more special, I was surprised with a large complimentary slice of tiramisu! At the end of our meal, the other owner came over to chat with us, adding another personal touch to an already wonderful evening. I truly could not have asked for a better experience for my 65th birthday dinner. If you're visiting Healdsburg and looking for a delicious Italian meal with warm, personal service, I highly recommend Baci Cafe!

We were completely blown away by the thoughtful menu, knowledgeable hosts, and warm hospitality from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Kyle welcomed us and seamlessly guided us through the experience, sharing the rich history of Williamson Wines alongside detailed stories behind every dish and glass. Both Kyle and Jesse went above and beyond to keep our group engaged and exceptionally well cared for throughout the entire meal. The culinary offerings were outstanding. The chef even came out to check on our table, presenting six expertly crafted courses. As someone with food allergies, I was especially grateful for how attentive the team was--strictly accommodating dietary needs and seamlessly providing tailored alternatives without missing a beat.

The wine pairings elevated every bite; I'm a sucker for a great Viognier, and couldn't resist taking two bottles home! The Grange Cuvée was also a refreshing standout. The ambiance struck the perfect balance--refined and elegant without feeling stuffy or overly formal.

The Experience: The…read moreback outside area with it's own bar is very nice. For most of the year this should be where you ask for. The Food and Drinks: We "rate" Tapas outfits by ordering Patatas Bravas. Crisp on outside, larger pieces and host and moist inside, one of the bests we have experienced - highly recommended. Others we had were: - Coroquetas: Creamy chicken Croquetas came piping hot and definitely creamy. This is my favorite whether I am in Japanese restaurants or in Tapas places. - Steamed Clams: Great and good serving. Ask for breads to go with this one as you WILL HAVE TO DIP the breads in the broth! Price/ Value: Very reasonable for this class of restaurant for glasses of wine going $14 range, and many cocktail options and many Tapas items not even hitting $20 that means you can order a variety of things. The serving volume was very satisfying sharing between two of us. This will be our new "go to" places when we are back in here which is a lot!

Service seemed nice enough and attentive enough. As much the ambiance was nice, the food was meh. The bacon wrapped dates and cauliflower were the only items we enjoyed. Pig ears were chewy instead of crispy. Nothing stood out as great. Portions were meager; the jambon and cheese was the only item we had that was substantial. With 4 items left me hungry until those mini sandwiches. At $50 per person and 3/5 items not great, can't say I'd return for food. But if someone suggested the place for a drink, I'd make a trip, after a meal.
