Welcoming environment. Occasional live music shows are great – they draw interesting acts. Good bar food and great cocktails.

This place is a GEM!!! It was next to our hotel so we walked over for some drinks. They have really great beers but the cocktails are the real stars of the show. Truly a really great place. The ambiance is super chill and the bartender is soo friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

The best hangout bar in Sonoma—delicious cocktails, welcoming & unpretentious staff, casual environment with a cute outdoor area, and the price is right (the perfect recipe for a great spot). Sara is the absolute best!! She knows exactly what I like, so all I have to do is ask for a certain spirit and she always crafts something spot on. She does it all with a smile. She’s seen me through my highs and lows and always keeps it real. Go to this place!!

I love Starling Bar. Some of the best cocktails in Sonoma. The staff is great and good at what they do. The addition of wood fired pizzas is pitch perfect for this space with a great outdoor patio. Catch live music in the weekends and you just might not want to leave.

Probably my favorite place in Sonoma to hang. Great music. Great drinks and atmosphere. I’ve also played and sung here. Fred is a REALLY lovely guy. I haven’t gotten out very much the last year, but when I have, it’s been this place. This past weekend, Randy (who’s super sweet) did his usual monthly open like here and it was absolutely delightful.
It’s a very welcoming place. All are welcome here.

Litterally best drinks in Sonoma. Up there with my other fav, Picaso Restaurant. Starling has been consistent with their attentive and Friendly staff, yummy bites, and phenomenal hand ctafted cocktails made with local ingredients.
Sarah is fun, give her your choice of spirit and shell craft you the best drink you’ve ever had on the spot!

It’s the new year … so looking back at all things 2024 I noticed a receipt from The Starling. I’d put an “!” & ” ” on it, and recalled what a fab evening we’d had. I couldn’t resist giving a great review at this late date. This is my kinda place. You feel like a local even when you’re not. Excellent drinks. Great bartender. And easy conversations with fellow patrons. Next Sonoma trip — which is annual — we’ll be back.
