Smiley's - Bolinas

People are more than lovely. Food is on point and drinks are tasty. My home away from home to be honest. Adore this place.

This review is for music and drinks. It was a gorgeous day and live music was such a treat. The bar was incredibly crowded. I don't think this crowd was expected but here we all were. A thirsty bunch at that. We grabbed a spot outside, got a drink from the chaotic bar, and went back out to enjoy the music. It was such a treat. I wanted to get food but since the staff was overwhelmed, we decided to try a bite next time. This is a great local spot to check out if you're in the area.

Stopped in on a rainy afternoon Sunday afternoon recently. Bar was somewhat busy, more so bcuz there was only one bartender and we had to move down the bar to try and get service. Wait time was almost 15 mins to garner attention and 2 glasses of wine. There was a bar back or server assistant. Maybe he is in training, but he really was of no help it appeared to the bartender. Nothing entices me to return any time soon. The renovations/expansion seem well appointed and nicely done.

Awesome getaway with the one you love. We stayed in the capitan's quarters with the balcony and I was so impressed with how huge our room was how comfy and so so clean. The food down at the bar was awesome as well. The green salsa is a game changer! Can't wait to go back!!!

After I posted my review the business went out of their way to try and correct the mistake. They refunded 1/2 my order and went over with their staff in terms of training. We spend a lot of time in Bolinas and I need to give props to tasty food. Their food is good quality. Please know there are no Bolinas restaurants with good prices so expect to pay more than usual for your meals if you decide to go out.
