This is a great and historical performance location. From Blues to Rap have played the floor. The new work done by I believe it's Dan the owner (could be mistaken) are keeping up with the legacy of The Tradewinds, giving a home to the next generation of music lovers.

The bartender (Traci) was very nice. We had a great time. They have games and had complementary hot dogs today. We felt very welcomed and would definitely go there again!

The bartender makes a stiff greyhound and Wednesday Night Bachata was fantastic. Lots of skilled and friendly dancers. Will definitely be back.

The karaoke on Fridays and Sundays has the best sound around. The employees and clientele are the kind of people that you would want in your family.

Good food and drinks! I saw this llace on a episode of bar rescue, dont change and ever go back to being complacent. Keep serving good food and drinks and continue keeping the business great as it is! Thankyou for the awesome food and drinks.

Legendary bar for live music and fantastic performances. Small and rocking, busy but friendly group, servers and tenders. Nice pours and safe environment. This is a great place to go if you like live blues, friendly people and safe environment. Sometimes the police can get a bit overzealous but for the most part, everything is cool with a chill vibe.

Best coffee in north bay, surprising but they have an excellent barrista and every latte or cappuccino comes out with a perfect finishing touch of a creame design. All cups a large size cafe ceramic size. Best place I have found in 10 years in North bay, their food is also excellent, proper diner style

Fun karaoke! Cody, the bartender was super friendly and made me an amazing drink when I asked if he had a special drink he is known for. Plus they have late night food!

We went to the Scott Razor Kareoke show. The sound is balanced very well. Razor is nice and entertaining. The music selection is superb. I liked this experience because the crowd was mostly college-aged people who sang old-school songs like Franky Vali's song, "You're just too good to be true." And there is a positive feel to this place. Full bar. Bartenders are attentive. We had cocktails only.

Tradewinds is my favorite downtown cotati bar for sure. Spacious inside and they have the back patio area which is also decent sized. Atmosphere is good, and they have darts and pool so you're not just standing around with a drink in your hand.

The female owner is really sweet (didn't meet her husband), and the drinks are great! Pretty inexpensive too. The setting of the bar leaves something to be desired though. I'm not wild about the Gilligan/tropical theme. Before the remodel it was really dark and loungey which I loved. I also liked the old sign wayyy more... I'm sad it's gone.

This employee apparently a bouncer ( black over 6ft) pulled me out out the crowd for no reason and grabbed me forcefully by neck and essorted me out. I paid gratefully for the over priced drinks and endend up not feeling grateful at all. This place was the worst. Update: they did fire that guy and up their appeal not going back just yet though it could use more space on the dance floor and seating.

No music, just karaoke, on the night I was there. Disappointing. But, in the past, the bands have been good, Blues. Fun times. A good place to hang.

Came here on a random outting with friends from out of towns' birthday. The bartender Nick was cool & so was the door lady. The DJ named Will played some jams that people danced all night too. Was surprised how packed it got given that this is in the middle of nowhere. Great atmosphere 👌🏾.
