Pheonix down

I stopped by The Fink in Napa and really enjoyed it! I had the Phoenix Down cocktail, which was absolutely delicious, and my friend got the Painkiller, also great. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the bartender was super friendly and attentive. We shared an order of fries, and the dip that came with them was surprisingly good, definitely worth getting. The only downside was that they happened to be hosting a bingo fundraiser while we were there, which made things a little loud, but the event itself looked fun and I imagine that's not the usual vibe. Overall, I'd definitely come back, great drinks, great service, and a really charming spot.

NYE at The Fink! We were lucky enough to find a table and had the best gentleman server. He was extremely attentive, patient with everyone and was all around wonderful for the holiday. Our drinks were delicious and the menu was quite extensive. You forsure will be able to find something you know, you like and a new favorite! Things got a little rowdy before midnight and it was taken care of fast and our night wasn't ruined. Glad us bystanders weren't hurt! The only downside were the bathrooms, they were the most nasty things I've ever been in. Pee all over the toilets, floors and even the walls. I decided to just not use them, the smell was over powering.

Coolest bar!! Just an amazing space that is very retro. Service is great and attentive and there is a BOOK of cocktails of every genre! Loved mine. Perfectly balanced and different! Tequila and celery juice, bitters, and elderflower.

The craft cocktails are truly unto themselves. There are just some combinations of drink you cannot find anywhere else. All of the staff members make some truly impressive drinks. It's a rare and welcome treat in this day and age that there is no television mindlessly scrolling in the background. The cocktails and the ambiance make the Fink so truly special.

This place was recommended to us by our hotel bartender at the Alba for having high quality drinks and they seem to have a very wide selection which is nice! Located in downtown in it's own little plaza. Parking was fairly easy to find late night around 10pm. The waitress was so nice and when i told her i wanted a fruity drink she asked if i liked gin and then said if she could pick my drink. I got the boisenberry gin cocktail and it was refreshing and not too strong and tasty. The vibes are nice inside. U can seat urself there are booths, high tops, and couch seating area. I would def be back for another drink bc u can tell it's quality! And they make all their juices in-house! Yay! And great service!

Wow! All the drinks were absolutely delicious! Our groups got into a booth no problem. The theme at this bar is super cute and quirky. AND OUR BARTENDERS AND SERVER. Andrew made the amazing drinks. We loved our server Glenda. She was so high spirited and had genuinely an amazing attitude. She clearly loves her job. We loved it.

Tiki-adjacent cocktail bar that also serves food. I say tiki adjacent because although it's not marketed as a tiki bar the decor is very tiki-esque and they have a few cocktail drinks. With that said- the tiki cocktails we ordered were a little off from normal tiki drinks. The other cocktails were fantastic, I especially liked their mocha milk punch. Their food was also good, slightlyyyy overpriced for the portion size. The service was great and I did like the ambiance, although next time I think I'd stop somewhere else for dinner and have a drink or two here.

They have a fun drink menu with lots is crafted cocktails. Andrew was very nice and you can tell he enjoys his craft. I had him make me a cocktail with tequila that wasn't sweet and he delivered! It even had chili tincture in it. Very refreshing! Place gives speakeasy vibes dark and cozy but fun! Must check out if in the area

This is our new favorite bar in Napa! From the outside, it blends in with the surrounding complex, so you'd never guess how cool it is inside. The drink menu is so impressive and I love how they categorized it by location and theme - there is something for everyone and every mood! There was also a food menu available of snacks - we ordered fries which rounded our drinks very nicely. My husband kept saying how much he loved the atmosphere, and I agree! And the staff couldn't have been friendlier. We hope to return the next time we're in Napa!

Came here with a bunch of twenty something's, probably not the bar they were expecting. Cute nautical theme cocktail bar with great food and quick service.

Never had these before!

With a wasabi and fennel infused vodka, it was too unique not to be curious about. Upon arriving and looking over the menu, SEVERAL cocktails stood out to me as intriguing to try. I started with the Wabi Sabi which was as interesting as it sounded. While I didn't pick up on fennel, you do pick up on the wasabi, but in the most subtle of ways. Think maybe lime/ginger sparkling water with just a hint of spice. Refreshing and different for sure. I also tried the Mucha Lucha w/ cilantro infused Siete Leguas Blanco, chorizo infused mezcal and cubes made of hot sauce that make the drink have a bit more of a kick as you allow them to melt. I did the HH chips and guac which was also accompanied with a tasty Chipotle sauce. Damn good actually. It'd be excellent served in a variety of ways. The deviled eggs aren't going to blow your mind, but I like that you get 4 different ones- and simply because I love eggs, I'd order them again. (They just wouldn't be a dish that brings me back). The bartender was great- helpful and attentive, even as more people began to filter in for an early afternoon. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Napa to check out some other menu options.

So of course, after our spirit tasting at Napa Valley, we walked a short distance to the ArBARetum. We grabbed a table outside and the two gentlemen in our group got the complimentary cocktails. We also ordered the Pastrami Nachos, which was a big hit. We had a short but enjoyable visit here but didn't want to be late for our dinner reservation, right next door at Scala! Of course, we'll return for more great cocktails and friendly service!

We popped in and found JV behind the bar, spinning great music ahead of an event they were hosting. He made some drink suggestions and they were 100/10!

Great tunes, great atmosphere, and a bartender who clearly knows how to make great drinks. We asked what music they normally play and they responded it depends. At their busy times it's mostly hip hop and R&B, other times the bartender's will throw some music on. I would suggest stopping in to have a great cocktail and see what they're playing. This was a fun, unexpected stop that made our night even better. Shout out to JV for the fun experience! I didn't catch the other staff members names but they were funny and welcoming as well.

Unfortunately while passerby's visiting Napa would call this a cool/eclectic establishment due to…read moreits vinyl records and seemingly diverse music palate, myself and about 100+ people who attended a birthday party here in February experienced one of the worst handling of "large" crowds I've seen in my 20+ year History of the Bay Area music scene. As soon as we approached the venue, there was a long line of people waiting to get inside. We arrived a bit later (around 8pm), and the crowd had already started to fill the venue. Mind you, it's a decent sized venue but not a massive space -- enough to accommodate at minimum 100 and likely max of 200 while still staying within code. There were several people coming in and out of the door, where the GM and bouncer for the night , appeared extremely stressed due to the amount of people in line and inside. A woman, who happened to be the wife of the DJ, stepped out to make a phone call and when she attempted to get back inside, proceeded to get yelled at by the bouncer saying she needed to go to the back of the line and wait like everyone else. The woman attempted to tell the bouncer her husband, who was the guest DJ for the night and is a historical, world renowned DJ (again using big names to draw crowds, and appropriating vinyl culture, but not respecting the very people in attendance), needed to tell him she'd be outside and would sit in the car. The GM started to yell and disrespect the DJs wife, and she ended up staying outside. Apparently this GM and venue are not used to larger crowds, and she essentially cracked under pressure. She went on to tell us the capacity was 67, and that they "were already at 200", which is a lie because there was a ton of space between people inside the venue (we have photos to prove it). She kept yelling and pushing people back. Girlfriend, this was not a Vegas club night. This crowd is 40+ (age) crowd, so it's not like people were out of control and acting debaucherous -- everyone was respecting the rules. If you couldn't handle the crowd, which btw you agreed prior to the 80-100 people expected for the party, then why was it such a hassle for your venue to handle the capacity. You knew a larger crowd was expected that night, it's your responsibility as a business owner to adequately staff the bar, door, etc. Yes; we needed to respect the door and the rules -- and everyone did. I won't get into further detail, but a physical altercation took place after the woman tried to return a second time (to again get her husband and tell him what was going on given she was being harassed at the door), putting hands on her in the process. Just completely out of line. Overall, this venue wants to appropriate the music and DJ culture, yet when the actual music and DJ community show up, there is no respect. Let alone for loyal patrons who have frequented your business and brought tons of revenue to the bar that night (which btw was extremely slow). Don't fall for the dog and pony show here. Go somewhere else that touts respects for their patrons, and for all walks of life -- not just the pretentious kind.

Upon entry and seeing people dressed very relaxed, my assumption was curved. The inside was relatively small, we sat at small table in the back near the "kitchen" food pick-up area is the best way to describe it. Our waiter was okay, provided us the nightly specials and acknowledged our Anniversary. Nothing beyond the standard greeting. Drinks: very basic in my opinion; subjective I get it. Me and my guests were not wow'd. We had to ask for additional supplements for the Lavender Lemon Drop and Georgia Peach or something Peach with bourbon, peach puree, etc. Appetizers: PrimeRib Sliders, Fried Coconut Prawns and Lobster Bisque. Again taste is subjective, being from the south, flavors and richness is a MUST. I can't say we got that. Our guest throughly enjoyed the prawns and said the sauce was GREAT. I'm use to a VERY rich, cozy Lobster bisque and this missed the mark, and there was barely any lobster. Entrees: 8 oz Filet Mignon, Prime Rib, Crab enchiladas and Scallops. Filet was requested as medium, came out almost done, no pink in sight. While my guest was disappointed, they didn't feel like the battle of waiting for it to be corrected, disappointing. Prime Rib, was okay. The guest barely finished it. Pan Roasted Maine Scallops, were okay, cooked fine. Meal ended once a gnat landed on the crisp crackers. Crab Enchiladas: A very unique dish. Plentiful for sure; taste basic. Essentially a taco with all the fixings with crab sprinkled in minus a shell. No dessert for us; however, we were offered a cupcake with a candle for our anniversary. While this review is my/our experience, the restaurant missed the mark with this basic, dry store bought cupcake. I refuse to believe this was made in house. Perhaps one of the menu dessert options would have been better. We'll never know. My expectations were not met. Hope yours is.
