Dick's Place Mendocino Reviews
This place has been here since prohibition times. I bet you could get some good moonshine here a hundred years ago. I can imagine there was shootouts in the street over someone stealing a spot to park their horse. Back in the gold rush, you could trade a nugget of gold for a bottle of whiskey here. Theres a cool model of what the place looked like. The bartender was really nice and made my pappy a virgin bloody Mary. The beer was cold and the game was on. I would come here often if I lived closer but for sure I'll be back.
Nice dive bar in Mendocino. Staff war friendly but quaint. Always wonder why we don’t have these kind of bars in Luxembourg. Maybe because of hygiene standards but come on it’s a bar!
No food here ,but it was a fun, local bar. Lots of things to look at all around the walls..stickers, pictures and other decor.
Probably my favorite bar on the planet. This bar is cash only, lots of fun, good service, and a killer view of the ocean just outside. Also, it’s dog friendly which is awesome. Every time I’m in Mendocino, I come here for some drinks and music. I love it here.
Spending an evening in a bar on a romantic weekend getaway was not on our agenda, but one of the highlights of our trip was stopping in for a quick beer to catch a little football. Ending up spending 4 hours here. The bartenders were friendly and made us some top shelf drinks. Talked football with some locals and my wife loved that it was dog friendly as she was missing our boys. Thanks for a great memory.
This bar is one of the reasons why we want to come back to Mendocino. We go there every night we stay in Mendocino. The bartenders are friendly and customers here are super chill. + This place is dog friendly and my dog loves being here.
Awesome local bar, not fair to call a Dive...but close. Good darts, and a small outside patio. Don't miss this spot!!
A proper bar at the edge of town. Cash only.

It's a slice of history and the epitome of a "dive" bar that shouldn't be missed. What a place! The seating alone is a trip. Truly has character!
Dick’s the place you’ll go if you want to meet the local people. Very laidback, great cold beer and amazing local-like service. Will always come back here. REMEMBER TO BRING CASH
If you come here with a good attitude it's great. Best espresso martini. If you're coming from the Bay Area prices are reasonable. Also only place open late.

One and done - the day Nixon resigned - safe to say unforgettable…1974 for the way back machine.
Dive bar but a good one. Friendly bartenders. Raucous crowd when we visited. Be aware CASH ONLY.
The bar-ambiance is on-point! I love all of the stickers and random decor. There are two dioramas of the bar inside the bar. They have darts and pinball in the back. The jukebox is up-to-date with a credit card reader and full digital selections. There's a back patio, but it's much more scenic out front if you're a smoker.
Fun bar in Mendocino, open late till 2am. Our bartender, a local, was friendly and made us really good old fashioned cocktails.
Nice view from the bar! Cool that I can bring my little dog! Not a very clean bar atmosphere, little dive bar where you can see the few TV's and watch sports, you can enjoy the beautiful Oceanside views as I did enjoying a glass of wine.
Great little local pub with loads of atmosphere. No food only bar snacks and good beer.

My wife found this on some list as the Dive Bar wth the best view in the US, so naturally we had to grab a drink here while in Mendocino. Definitely lives up to that reputation, great view facing south over the bluffs. Friendly staff with fairly stiff drinks. Pretty cool local vibe here, definitely not many tourists like us ventured in. They have an awesome miniature model of the bar that is stunningly accurate. Lots of great historical photos on the walls. Definitely the best place in town to grab a drink.
I mean…it’s a dive bar what do you expect?! It’s a funky spot with the most amazing view! You seriously cannot beat an ocean view while having a beer. They do not accept cash- they should update that. The bartender gal was super nice and good at her job. :)
This is a small unique bar with fun decor by the sea in Mendocino. It's a hangout spot for the locals. For your entertainment they have darts in the back room, an old fashioned jukebox, and large screen TV playing sports channels. The beer selection is decent and the staff is friendly.

I've been coming here when im on vacation and its been awesome however we went in yesterday and if your not a regular beware because the bartender never even acknowledged our existence even though we were directly in front of him. He just went around us and helped everyone else. It was not a great experience we love this place. I must say I won't be going back and im sure they could give a crap less. It wasnt the regular bartender that we've had in the past maybe it was that but I dont know if im willing to be treated that way again.
