    FRIED FUTSU PUMPKIN - $12
    Heidi C.

    I've heard great things about their rotating menus, so my husband and I decided to check it out for date night. I looked up the menu on Instagram by Half/Hitch beforehand, and everything turned out to be even better than expected! Love finding hidden spots like this. great food in a fun dive bar atmosphere. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and deliciously diverse. We'll definitely be back!

    Cheese burger by Jo. Damn good, gotta order before 4.

    Don't expect great service or great drinks, but if you expect attitude, bad drinks, and good food- do it. Local watering hole. They switch up chefs nightly and menu options. Gotta add them on FB to stay alert of menu. I'd say come here, try it, it's a local "legend spot" only because of Evelyn (96 year old owner). Absolute terrible service except by a very small few ladies. The guys are really rude and non attentive. Pool tables suck. Cash only and ATM sit charge is a whopping $3.50.

    Crab and cod cakes with carrot/beet slaw.

    We were so impressed with Casino at our last visit we couldn't wait to come back and sample some other menu items. We were excited by the offerings of Dungeness crab cakes and soft shell crab sandwich. Unfortunately the crab cake had little crabby flavor and tasted more like a salmon cake. The soft shell crab was really small and was lost in the bun and toppings. The room temperature french fries didn't really improve the offering.. clearly there is a lot of inconsistency in the kitchen, so caveat emptor, as they say.

    Salmon - so darn gooood!

    Such a sleeping beauty - bar, pool tables, greasy wood, oh my. Probably would not of gone to this place on my own if it wasn't for the Yelp reviews. Bar is kinda weird - separate / cash only (bartender let me know it's been cash for 70 years - ok thanks for the history lesson). Now to the food - fricken amazing! Holly is a rock star! Each dish was bursting with flavor. Started with devil eggs with vinegar - really good. I had the the squash soup - super yummy. Also had the Salmon - really really good (PRO TIP: GET THERE EARLY - they run out). My partner had the chicken - she said it was good but came to the table luke warm (bummer). The food changes on the different days and depends on the chef. We will be coming back as a regular.

    Live by it, or take it down.

    Terrible " service", if you can call it service at all. This is a dive/local towny bar, which is cool if you just want a cheap beer, but if you want food, go somewhere else. At first, we were told to wait because (as we were told by the bartender) the kitchen staff was in the back "drinking." When we finally got the kitchen staff's attention, they were rude, bothered. and dismissive, as if we were asking them for a favor, yet they're the ones who display their nightly dinner menu on social media and at local hotels every night (which is where we even saw their menu in the first place.) This place is not worth your time. Unless you just want a banquet beer, go somewhere else. Oh, and by the way, in the back room they had a big poster hung up on the wall to thank all the mutual aid first responders for their efforts during the major local wildfires in 2017 (Tubbs, Atlas, Pocket, Nuns, etc). I was one of those first responders; I spent countless weeks here in support of my HOME (I was born and raised in Sonoma County) to help my local community, and yet these folks still treated my wife and I like dogshit,

    Best cheap dive bar burger you'll ever eat (before 4 pm). Fun little spot with local flavor.

    The food is good although our portions were on the small side. The drinks are always great and reasonably priced.

    Ask the Community - The Casino Bar & Grill

    Is the patio/outdoor dog-friendly?

    Unfortunately no it is not.

    Can the chef accommodate a vegetarian with their daily menu?

    Not really... I've asked about this before and ended up with a LOT of eggs, or just salad.

    Do they accommodate large parties?

    If you call ahead I’m sure they could. However, the inside does not accomadate many. Outside is beautiful though.

    Do they do dinner every night?

    Yes, dinner is served every night. There are a few different chefs depending on the day. Our favorite chef at The Casino Bar & Grill is Mark Malicki who only serves dinner Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The Casino is a Dive… Read more

    Went here yesterday mid day for the first time and while hardly cheap we still felt it was worth…read moreit. Unlike other more popular restaurants in the area, no need to stand n an endless line which is great. Beautiful spot with great bay views unlike some other area restaurants with a more industrial setting. All the food was excellent. Crab sandwich was outstanding with a gorgeous bun, fantastic couscous and excellent pickled veggies on the side. Clam chowder was very good with a great hint of bacon in the savory broth intermixed with clams. The Rock Cod paella was deemed excellent and my brother in law vowed to get it again next time. If you want a quiet place on the bay with easy parking, great views and friendly service give it a try.

    Wife and I decided to try somewhere different in Bodega Bay…read moreso thought we'd give this place a go. Nice atmosphere and service but this place is way to expensive for what you receive. My wife had the Crab Cakes which she said weren't bad. For $32 you got two 2-3 ounce Crab Cakes with a topping that tasted like a citrussy mayonnaise. If this is all you order be prepared to still have stomach hunger growls when you leave. No bread...No small salad or coleslaw on the side ! I had the Clam Chowder which was fair. Could have been hotter! I prefer a chunkier Chowder and this was more pureed. The biggest chunks of anything where the bacon bits. Very little clam meat in my bowl. Where's the beef ??....In this case clams ! I ordered the bread for $5 extra and you received about 3 ounces worth of a toasted bread. We had a pint each of tap beer and our total bill was just shy of $75. We gave it a try but won't be back.​
