Califormia Gold San Rafael Reviews
I didn't try any food there so I won't be able to review that. But the service was great, the bartenders friendly and the atmosphere was chill.
Delicious cocktails! I'm not kidding! I don't even like drinking! Nice setting too, and lovely service.
Tasty specialty cocktails in a cool environment. There's nothing else like this in town! I've loved every drink I have tried!
The best act in town. The pinnacle of fresh ingredients and top shelf spirits. I will spend much more time here. Manuel is the best.
Fantastic place! Everything you could want in a neighborhood bar. Decor, music, and of course the drinks
Went for quick drinks after work, and man they nailed it! The gin Honey Ryder was perfect for the warm day outside
Like an old-time speakeasy in downtown San Rafael. Great atmosphere, fancy cocktails, and friendly staff.
This is just what San Rafael a (and Marin) needs!! This bar has been very thoughtfully created with awesome decor and bar staff that know exactly what they are doing. We had an amazing time there during San Rafael Santa Con and will be committed to making this a success!!
You have to experience Mani and his encyclopedic knowledge of cocktails. Two thumbs up for one of my fav bartenders in the North Bay!!!
This place is a gem ! The cocktails are amazing and unusual in the best possible way! The decor is a classic step back in time with big comfy booths and a beautiful bar! We will definitely be back
Manny, Christian and Josh always serve the best drinks - Pina colada, daiquiri, and nuestra tropical are our favorites! Relaxing vibe, sweet bartenders, & great selection of spirits!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. An extensive cocktail menu that includes the classics and creative new age stuff. Beautiful decor that clearly accomplishes the speak easy feel. Highly recommend!
Seriously great cocktails, and a spirit selection wide enough to make pretty much any libation - all made by mixologists that enjoy their craft.
Great cocktails ! Fun Beers and friendly people at the bar. Its the best bar in San Rafael for all times
An outstanding job of preserving the feel of a long loved local establishment by those who know the business, Awesome crew, great bartenders and drinks and a no pretense attitude that long time regulars would embrace. My dad Pat worked here for 20 years and would be proud of how the place has been revived and improved without losing it's hominess, Great work, guys!
Unique selection of drinks, amazing atmosphere and great service, they may have opened a month ago, but they look very established. Loved the feel of the inside and all the decorations too!
Great place with some wonderful vibes and some very delicious cocktails. If you love to chill and have a top-shelf drink, this is the place to go!
Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, exotic list of fascinating cocktails, upscale for San Rafael/Marin County! They bring fun in a comfortable and friendly environment!
Relaxing atmosphere! Great drink selection and great staff.
I love this place! Probably the best place to hangout here in San Rafael . Cocktails crafted with love.. the service is always with a smile. I enjoy this place...will continue to support this place.
Awesome drinks that are both delicious and creative. The vibe is a great balance of comfortable and lively. Can't wait to spend more time here!
Had great cocktails with my dad. Bartender was very nice. Marin needed a nice cocktail bar and these guys delivered on that front.
Great drinks menu and ambiance. Friendly and skillful bartender. I would make it my local bar if I lived near by
Great craft bar in San Rafael. Excellent bartenders, creative drinks. Definitely best martini in San Rafael.
Best cocktail bar in Marin. Great drinks, beautiful decor, really friendly staff. Proper saloon!
Amazing bartenders and cocktails! They can make you any drink you like and do it well
Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They will get the best drink in front of you! Great beer list too!
So you go to college, get the job, make the money, go to the Michelin star restaurants but something is missing....loud music, delicious drinks, tacky but hip decorations, people of all ages...come here on a new date/with your spouse/even with your parents (!) to remind yourself life doesn't have to be so stuffy all the time.
Amazing Whiskey Sour! Go to for Cocktails!
Delicious drinks, great vibe, good times.
The cocktail menu here is amazing. The bartenders also make delicious bespoke mixes. This place has unexpected swank for San Rafael - the decor os a lot of fun to take in. Enjoy lots of lovely seating nooks. I feel at home here in my heels or everyday boots.
This place is so great. Always a treat. Fantastic bartenders, cocktails, and ambience. Manny is exceptional. Ask him to make you a drink with any liquor and he'll do you right. 5 stars, no regrets.
Nestled in the downtown San Rafael area a inconspicuous far on the corner reveals a very well-crafted interior design with lots of wood works Booth seating a very sizable bar as well as many large areas for group seating for all different numbers of company. Some may say that it resembles a hunter's cabin with a splash of cigar lounge. You would feel very comfortable here having a drink with your friends or just at the end of a long work day. Even so if you would like to get some work done here there are outlets available to plug in your laptop while the ambient sound of drinks being made full conversating and a view of cars driving by. They have a very extensive bar as I ordered the oaxacan firing squad. Come and spend some time here at this finest establishment.
Realizing we needed "milk for the kids" for the morning, I headed to Safeway because it was still open at 10:30 pm. I noticed a new place had opened on my drive. The family was fast asleep so I popped in to check out the scene. I can't say enough good things about this place. Very quiet for a downtown night with only a handful of patrons, I was slightly skeptical. The bar and room was strikingly beautiful with quiet nooks, welcoming bartenders, and old wood craftsmanship. The only thing more beautiful was the craftsmanship of the cocktail I was served. Imagine if a chemist made you a cocktail with the finest ingredients? The bartender was just as much the craftsman as the guys who hand carved the wooden bar. Ever drink a cocktail that left you feeling healthier? Everything is fresh...sweet...and not fake, hangover causing, sweet. They are perfect. One who may typically scoff at spending $10-$20 per cocktail, would grin with pleasure as their tastebuds examine the complexity of something they'd ordered before at another bar...left with the satisfaction of "that's what this drink should taste like." I didn't even order from their pirate themed boutique menu, just the best gin and tonic I had never had before. The only negative feeling I was left with was that I feared this place wouldn't survive based upon the bartender to patron ratio of 1:3. That being said, I popped by a few weeks later (needed more milk) and their Thursday night was packed. I ordered off their menu this time...and yeah, this bartender was a chemist too. I hope to run short on milk again soon.
This place is great. Some of the best cocktails I've ever had, the decor is neat, and the staff really know their stuff
One of my favorite bars period, and absolutely my favorite in Marin. The cocktails are expertly crafted and delicious. The cocktail menu is extensive and contains many exciting options for those who like variety. If you're not sure what to order, the talented and friendly mixologist bartender whip up fitting your tastes. I love their pina colada and boulevardier (which is made with their own private barrel of Elijah Craig bourbon).
Best cocktails in Marin. Really cool vibes, servers are super nice and welcoming, and the drinks are amazing. 10/10 would recommend.
Without question: The best cocktails North of the Golden Gate. I'm not exaggerating. You walk in and you smell the fresh ingredients in the air. These kids aren't craft cocktail snobs either... a curated beer selection you won't believe. It's better than most beer bars. If you want to walk into a place and leave feeling better than when you walked in - there is no place better than California Gold.
This is clearly the best cocktail bar in Marin County by a large margin! California Gold takes their cocktails seriously while keeping the vibe cool/approachable. Stylish old-school California interior is a nice touch. New local favorite.
Love these folks!! Best bar around
I don't think I will ever be able to get a beer at California Gold. Not because they have a bad selection, but because Drew, Jordan and the rest of the team excel at their craft and have curated a wonderful cocktail menu for any kind of liquor. My go-tos are the Honey Rider and Polo Cup! CG is a beautiful establishment from the font of the bar name, to the cushioned seating. You best believe I'll be frequenting this bar and if you're in Marin haven't gone yet... then go ASAP!! :):)
Incredible, cozy, and atmospheric bar with a huge selection of house cocktails and a well-tailored beer list. Manuel the server was so nice, and a great bartender! Will definitely be back.
A proper whiskey bar! First thing I saw when we sat at the bar was the garnishment array, and I knew I was in the right place. Drinks are made the way they should be, with quality ingredients, care, and attention to detail. The Rattlesnake should be illegal, though... just sayin.
This is hands down my favorite bar... In the world. It might also be the best bar in the world. The cocktails are off the hook, the bartenders are friendly and welcoming and the vibe is perfection.
Amazing vibes, service and cocktails! Will come again.
Very good experience. I had my eyes test done there, the eye doctor was very nice & professional. I got my glasses there too. The girl who help me there was very good and help me a lot. I really like my new glasses.
very good and cool!! The aesthetic is immaculate and the polo cup is genuinely like the best drink I ever done got drunk offa. Also they allow outside food and the mini market next door is wonderful for having very cheap, hot, good food super late. They're not on Google maps but ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for them too. Here have a blurry picture of it I love you 💖
Bar with great vibes. Lots of different drink options including cocktails and beer. There is no food at all (they have no kitchen).
Love this bar! A little slice of the city in sleepy San Rafael, you can always count on it being busy late night unlike the rest of the town. Their cocktails are amazing, of course, but I also really appreciate their awesome beer list. They also pour a perfect Guinness which is often my go-to when I want to keep hanging out but can't do much more alcohol. Love Cali Gold!
You literally can’t go wrong here; staff is goated and drinks are best in town.
Great food, great drinks, and a great vibe. Service was on point and the place just has a good energy. Definitely coming back!
Always excellent service! Had a couple of Apperal spritz, made perfectly 😊
Great spot! I had my wedding afterparty event here and it was awesome. I emailed back and forth with Christian a bit beforehand and they set a table aside for us, which was very nice of them. To be honest, my memories of the night itself were fairly blurry but as far as I remember my wife and I had a great time, and my guests all enjoyed it as well. We will definitely be back!
Atmosphere: Solid and fun Bar Service: Kind, interesting, professionals Drinks: Costly (but craft cocktails can be, so expected), my drink was cloyingly sweet, my friend's drink was more of a savory thing, and one of the rum drinks was great. UPDATE: Within 1 hour the owner of the bar contacted me about the experience with the drink I had ordered. He offered an apology, which I appreciated but was unnecessary, as I should have been better about saying something during my visit, rather than in a public review. This was customer service at its best, and that I appreciate. Upon reflection my drink may have just been a bartender error, and everybody has an off day. As the atmosphere and employees are amazing, and the vibe a solid 100, and now management reacting in a meaningful way to a petty complaint, I am boosting to 5 stars across the board. Go see for yourself what caring about your customers, and their experience is all about. Cheers!
Yo, this place is sick! They got these crazy original drinks and the bartender's super chill, he'll make you whatever you want. The vibes are on point, it's like an old-school speakeasy or something. The lighting is perfect, nice and dim, and the AC is cranked so you can escape the heat.
A well-kept secret up in San Rafael, easily one of the best bars in the Bay Area. The drinks balance dry so they can sneak up on you, the beer list is otherworldly, and the spirits selection is always full of gems
Very nice cocktail bar located in San Rafael. They don’t serve food here but they allow you to bring outside food. Very festive bar with great bartenders that help you figure out what drink you’re looking for. They have booths, tables, and couch seating. I opted for the seasonal hot toddy, my friends got an espresso martini and the bartenders choice/whiskey. Parking is fairly easy as there is street parking but can get busy. It was pretty busy for a Thursday night when we came by. They also have good drafts too. Would recommend if you’re looking for a nice drink while in San Rafael. The workers were super friendly and recommended other bars in the area too.
Without a doubt, the best cocktail bar in Marin! The menu is fantastic, but their off-menu creations are even better. The friendly, outstanding service puts this place in a league of its own. Christian and Manny are truly pros🤙🏽
Best cocktail bar - period! Every cocktail we've ordered has been excellent. Great vibe and amazing service.
Three of our drinks were amazing and the other two very good. Impressive beer list although we stuck to cocktails. The bartenders were fast and friendly and obviously highly skilled. The ambience can’t be beat with a classic California aesthetic and fun music played at a reasonable level. Loved the place and can hardly wait to make it back.
Awesome bar in downtown San Rafael. We’ve been coming here since they just opened and we always felt amazed by all their drinks! Wonderful choices of cocktail, incredible list of beers on tab and their hot drinks are super tasty, too! The vibe and decor are very nice also. The staff is very friendly.
We came for golden hour which was $9 cocktails and $1 off some beers. Service was great! Friendly and attentive staff was just what we were looking for. The decor is great, the bar stands out more than the photos do justice. The booths are nice too, have that old school vibe. Good place for date night as you can have some privacy in the booth and it's not noisy. The food is from across the street at Revel and Roost. Hope to make this our regular place!
California Gold Bar is A Gem for Drinks and Vibes If you're looking for a spot with amazing drinks and a vibrant atmosphere, California Gold Bar is the place to be. Their cocktail menu is thoughtfully curated, offering everything from expertly crafted classics to innovative new mixes that are sure to impress. Tonight, I was in the mood for some bubbly 🍾, and they did not disappoint. The sparkling cocktails were refreshing and perfectly balanced, adding just the right touch of celebration to the evening. The ambiance is just as noteworthy. With its cozy, laid-back vibe, it's perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding after a long day. The warm lighting and relaxed seating make it feel welcoming, while the trendy decor adds a modern touch. California Gold Bar strikes the perfect balance between great drinks and a comfortable atmosphere, making it one of the top spots in San Rafael for a casual night out. On weekends, the bar has just the right buzz, with a lively crowd but still plenty of room to enjoy the eve. Definitely a must-visit! Cheers 🍻 👏🏾 ✌️ 🥂!
Had a sazsrack, which I can say was expertly made with care and detail. The drink menu is exceptional though a bit eclectic, which I love. *Update* came back after a couple years and the place is as good as ever. I ordered a La Paloma and a pisco punch. Both were superbly made absolutely delicious. My only issue was that it was so busy at the time I entered, there was only one bartender serving a slew of people and it took a really long time to get to me. The problems of a really good place.
The mahogany bar is breathtaking and has been there since 1906. Drinks are expensive and top shelf. Nice mix of little nooks to have a clear conversation, tables for groups and bar seating. 🍸
Manuel is literally the best bartender we’ve ever had. He made us amazing drinks with flair and gave us testers of other drinks. Highly recommend this bar. The vibe is eclectic Californian, reminded me a little of a Victorian California mansion, with all sorts of fun old California art all over. The menu was exceptional with delicious drinks. The drinks are a work of art, with preparation done with high attention to detail. The bar had several top shelf bourbons, which made it all the more better.
🍸 Photo of The Polo Cup at California Gold. Served tall & dignified. ★★★★★ local favorite. Cheers!
California Gold has an urban San Francisco vibe unmatched in Marin. They focus on high quality, creative cocktails with fresh, homemade ingredients and great service. We tried their Pina Colada and Moscow mule and found them to be the best we had ever tasted. The service was great and our bartender Joel couldn't have been more attentive or helpful.
Bartender's choice for the drinks! Very unique ambiance and aesthetic. Owner thrift shops for many of the wonderful decorations. Must see and better taste! Drew is an outstanding, experienced, well curated bartender. Thank you Drew!
California Gold feels quaint even when busy with elevated cocktails and local charm. Worth the visit. Christian the bartender took the time to remember my name and drink order with a fully seated bar; I had fast & exceptional service. Great place for an after work cocktail or an evening out with a partner or friends. Highly recommend the "El Diablo" for a balanced medley with a a tiny flare of spice to excite the palate.
Beautiful bar to hangout with friends and the drinks are top notch!

Great drinks, cool vibe and really amazing service! Our bartender was fantastic! Loved the booths- so cozy and exactly what we wanted. Great local spot!
The team behind the bar are true hospitality experts, mixologist, and people I admire. Everything about this establishment and the staff scream honor, knowledgeable, and friendly. It's a wonderful experience.
I work nearby, and finally had the opportunity to stop by and have an early evening cocktail. That was the best French 76 I have ever had! The bartenders were friendly and engaging, the music was interesting and fun, and sparked conversation between a few of us strangers at the bar. I love the atmosphere and decor; I think I'll be making more regular stops for sure!

Fun, lively place. Good for a young, loud crowd. Good decor, good lighting, crowd to get through at bar to get served. Not the place for a quiet drink.
Well the cocktail program seems pretty good. they definitely have reasonable at least decent service. and will the gentleman working the door was absolutely amazing and just so welcoming and friendly and just the epitome of a wonderful service actually. however really nothing other than those points really stood out about this place it was 97% white people 3% others and just kind of blah blah blah.
So much better than Spitfire. The atmosphere reminded me of a jungle cruise mixed with a hint of tiki room. Demographic was mixed & upscale, not divey. Decent selection of beer with good variety. Full bar available too. It was busy but not standing room only. I would've expected more people on a Friday night, but it was just after New Year's. Definitely a place I would return to and I expect it will do good business.
Best cocktails in the bay. Great atmosphere .
Was quite surprised to walk in the last weekend of June to find there is a monthly tiki takeover with quite a wide expanse of options! Overall, they were decent, and service was pretty fast for how crowded it was on a Friday night. Atmosphere is loud and bustling, but has more of a local dive feel. 4 stars.

It’s good !! But feel like over charged. I like the vibe !! It’s not good, when you charge for down liquor for high price!! Don’t order when you feel like Ike drunk !I’m sorry I don’t like it !! I feel like they over charge..
The picture shows what a red wine and oj looks like and what I was told the management would not allow the bartender to make. I was visiting the area and this bar looked really cool so I went in and ordered a red wine mixed with orange juice and was told no. I was confused so I said that any juice would do and I was happy to pay for two separate beverages if that was the problem but the bartender told me that they were not allowed to do that per management. I went down the way to another spot happy to serve me but I have been so curious why the bartender would refuse to make that drink. it was 5 PM and there were three people in the entire bar and I’m a very friendly person so just wondering why not. I don’t drink hard spirits but enjoy a fruity drink. My friends think it’s a wine snob thing but I’d love to hear from management if or why that would be their policy. Thanks and happy day

Tried to move my chair 2 feet to speak with new friends and the bartender lost his mind. Guess he was trying to impress the 2 very good looking young woman I was speaking to. Won't be back plenty of great places in the area. Wine was nice though but great wine all over the area.
Place is looking good. Internal atmosphere have some issues like racism towards non-white person. (If you are white, you'll feel that so welcome!) There are another thing related to bar tender service in weekdays, part timer provides free drinks to their known friends or gf's. Charging higher amount to regular customers (I'll suggest cameras over register will help transparency!) Other than that nice decoration, nice interiors & lightings. White Friendly Environment. Cheers!
Loud obnoxious drunks screeching and yelling outside the bar with no consideration and respect for not forcing their drunkard screeching into violating the privacy and peace and quiet of other peoplss nearby apartments, condos, businesses in the neighborhood. They need to keep their drunken noisy stupidity inside the bar only
The staff here could really use some training on out of state ID’s. Won’t be coming back and I suggest you don’t come here if you’re from out of CA.
