The Fink

My favorite Napa Valley bar, and not just because it shares my last name! Second time there, just as awesome as the first. Judd and his crew are the BEST! Drinks are superb, food very tasty, decor is entertaining, and the service is excellent. Please go, you won't regret it!

This is my second time coming to the Fink. The first time was a quick visit as we passed through Napa but this time this was the main destination. Things didn't start off great, as my wife found a fruit fly floating on the top of her cocktail. We were sitting in a booth so I went to the bar and the gentleman behind the bar apologized and quickly made me a new cocktail. Our server was very nice but she seemed a little, off, like she was on something. She was overly chatty about random things and was very forgetful. The food was delicious. We ended up ordering more food because we were enjoying it a lot. The cocktails were also great. They probably made the best Mai Tai I've ordered at a bar. It was delicious. Since the server was the only one on the floor, it took her forever to make her rounds. I sat there without a drink for at least 10-15 minutes. I finally went to the bar and asked the same gentleman if I could order a cocktail at the bar and have it charged to my table. He said no problem and told me he would send the drinks over. Some time passed and I wanted to have one more cocktail before I left, but our server was no where to be found. I went back to the bar and a blonde lady was bartending. I stood there for a minute and without looking up to me or greeting me, she said, "You have a table. You have a server," and walked away. Incredibly rude and inconsiderate. There was another way she could have said that if she truly didn't want me to order directly from the bar, or she could have explained why she couldn't do that. I said, "Okay...." We decided to leave at that point and go elsewhere for my last cocktail. It was the "womp-womp" of the night and we left in a bad mood. Overall, I do plan to go back and complete my passport. The food was great and so were the cocktails. The server was nice but.... And the gentleman behind the bar and I think the bar manager, the man responsible for the food and cocktails, were courteous and friendly. The blonde bartender, two thumbs down.

One of the best bars in Napa. The atmosphere is amazing. Always greeted at the door by wonderful host. We’ve been there many times and the food and drinks are always top-notch. Excellent cocktails, and mocktails. They even have bingo nights and live music frequently. Highly recommend.

Really fun cocktail bar with a very cool vibe on the inside. A little dark but really interesting decorations. The menu was very comprehensive, almost a little overwhelming, but everything you ordered with our table was delicious. Snackies look great but we were just there for cocktails. Service was attentive and really nice people. One thing I really appreciated was that there was a nice volume of music playing so we could hear it and it was lively, but I could still hear everyone at my table.

Andrew was a great bartender. He was funny and made the place feel comfortable. The long haired blonde bartender was not rude but not friendly. It didnt feel like she wanted to make out drinks. Andrew however was happy so we just made sure to ask him for seevice when he came by. The atmosphere was really nice. Almost feels like a speakeasy.

Loved the place, loved the live music, the vibe, everything! Such a nice place to hang out with some friends and just chill for a bit, also the wine was sooo good, I’ll be back for sure!

On December 20 we enjoyed a Passport Celebration" at the Fink, hosted by Judd, with our lovely server Glenda and Andrew (Mr. Salazar) and Oz, the magicians behind the bar . Oh, my heavens! It could not have been a more special occasion. If you are not yet a card carrying Fink Passport member, waste no time in securing your own. Step into The Fink, have a drink, chat with the regulars (and first-timers, too) for an entertaining evening. My favorite - Mike Greensill, third Sunday of each month, 6-8 pm. Thank you, thank you!

Best place for cocktails in Napa. Make sure you order the mocha milk punch

I'm basing this on two cocktails we had on our maiden voyage to the Fink. Great mai tais with house made orgeat, they seem to know what they're doing and take a lot of pride and care with their cocktails. The ambience is very atmospheric, combining elements of an old rum bar with a modern flare and a splash of mid-century charm. Not an easy combination to pull off. Well done. The service was warm and friendly, down to who I must presume was Mr. Fink himself checking in on tables. Definitely on my list of bar hops when I get that way. Edited to add: Went back and Mai Tai was even better, had some delectable french fries and my friend had some lobster rolls which he raved about.

I stopped by The Fink in Napa and really enjoyed it! I had the Phoenix Down cocktail, which was absolutely delicious, and my friend got the Painkiller, also great. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the bartender was super friendly and attentive. We shared an order of fries, and the dip that came with them was surprisingly good, definitely worth getting. The only downside was that they happened to be hosting a bingo fundraiser while we were there, which made things a little loud, but the event itself looked fun and I imagine that's not the usual vibe. Overall, I'd definitely come back, great drinks, great service, and a really charming spot.

Excellent cocktail choices and great shareable foods! Lobster roll and Reuben sandwich is especially memorable! Owner Fink was always present and made sure to come to the table and get-to-know. Andy was also extra gracious and provided a lot of history on the nautical theme bar. Love it and will definitely return with local friends.

Coolest bar!! Just an amazing space that is very retro. Service is great and attentive and there is a BOOK of cocktails of every genre! Loved mine. Perfectly balanced and different! Tequila and celery juice, bitters, and elderflower.

This place was recommended to us by our hotel bartender at the Alba for having high quality drinks and they seem to have a very wide selection which is nice! Located in downtown in it's own little plaza. Parking was fairly easy to find late night around 10pm. The waitress was so nice and when i told her i wanted a fruity drink she asked if i liked gin and then said if she could pick my drink. I got the boisenberry gin cocktail and it was refreshing and not too strong and tasty. The vibes are nice inside. U can seat urself there are booths, high tops, and couch seating area. I would def be back for another drink bc u can tell it's quality! And they make all their juices in-house! Yay! And great service!

Huge drink menu and very unique and tasty cocktails & mocktails. Service was great and staff was super friendly. The ambiance was cool. The place is small and has an intimate vibe. The bar nuts were pretty tasty as well. Definitely wanna come back and try more drinks and food!

This is our new favorite bar in Napa! From the outside, it blends in with the surrounding complex, so you'd never guess how cool it is inside. The drink menu is so impressive and I love how they categorized it by location and theme - there is something for everyone and every mood! There was also a food menu available of snacks - we ordered fries which rounded our drinks very nicely. My husband kept saying how much he loved the atmosphere, and I agree! And the staff couldn't have been friendlier. We hope to return the next time we're in Napa!

Came here with a bunch of twenty something's, probably not the bar they were expecting. Cute nautical theme cocktail bar with great food and quick service.

Tiki-adjacent cocktail bar that also serves food. I say tiki adjacent because although it's not marketed as a tiki bar the decor is very tiki-esque and they have a few cocktail drinks. With that said- the tiki cocktails we ordered were a little off from normal tiki drinks. The other cocktails were fantastic, I especially liked their mocha milk punch. Their food was also good, slightlyyyy overpriced for the portion size. The service was great and I did like the ambiance, although next time I think I'd stop somewhere else for dinner and have a drink or two here.

They have a fun drink menu with lots is crafted cocktails. Andrew was very nice and you can tell he enjoys his craft. I had him make me a cocktail with tequila that wasn't sweet and he delivered! It even had chili tincture in it. Very refreshing! Place gives speakeasy vibes dark and cozy but fun! Must check out if in the area

Love this bar, super casual, excellent food. We had the lobster roll, k-pop chicken and artichoke dip. Lobster roll could not be more perfect. Friendly service and good drinks.

Wow! All the drinks were absolutely delicious! Our groups got into a booth no problem. The theme at this bar is super cute and quirky. AND OUR BARTENDERS AND SERVER. Andrew made the amazing drinks. We loved our server Glenda. She was so high spirited and had genuinely an amazing attitude. She clearly loves her job. We loved it.

Came in on a Friday night and they had a great dj. The food was amazing. We had the lobster roll and the Quesabirria Flautas. To drink the Faye Valentine and the Bee's Sneeze were both amazing. Food did take a little long to come out but service was great.

What a great spot! Came in on a Sunday night where two events were happening at same time. Location is great with tons of free parking all around! One event was the owner was hosting a wine appreciation event for his winery, Judd's Hill. Three wines were tasted and amazing yummy bites came out. The pizza which was on a focaccia bread with sauce and light cheese. The real winner was the fries and an delicious sauce for dipping. Fries left me wanting more! The other event was a bar takeover over by six local bars. I was only able to try one from local bitters- wow!! Would love to come back to experience the normal Fink cocktails.

Such a cool bar, huge cocktail list, and had a fantastic band the night we went. It was a Thursday night and we got a table easily after dinner. The servers were helpful in recommending cocktails. People were mostly sitting and vibing but every once in a while a small dance floor formed. We had an awesome time.

What an extensive cocktail menu! The bartenders were friendly and willing to elaborate on the various ingredients in the drinks. The interior has a sea shanty kind of vibe to go with the cocktail-grog theme. Both cocktails we ordered were very well balanced...not too sweet, not too alcohol forward. Would totally go back!

I found this cocktail bar while visiting Napa and I'm glad we made time to visit. We arrived right as they opened and we were the first to patronize the establishment that day. Its nautical decor was sophisticated yet fun. The bartenders were also acting as servers and they were super nice and helpful as we studied the menus. We order food and drinks and it all was very good. The Faye Valentine was super refreshing and the espresso martini had a unique, full bodied taste. We also sampled the Painkiller which had a fresh, handcrafted quality. We had food but the drinks were the star of the show. I definitely plan to visit this bar again during future visits to Napa.

We just love this place! It's a fun vibe with outstanding drinks and a huge selection of creative drinks. Friendly staff that will explain what kind of drinks they offer and the flavor profile.

Delicious, interesting cocktails, quickly arrived after ordering. Cool space inside, cozy and nautical, with bonus live music occasionally. Owner was super kind, always checking in on people, and happy to chat. We had the hummus, the beets, and the chicken, all were fresh and wonderful. High recommend!

I stopped by for a drink finally! That is, a mocktail ;) I was pleasantly surprised that they had a few options for mocktails, and the chosen one was actually similar to a cocktail (sometimes when I order a mocktail at other places, I just get some club soda and some flavored syrup). I forgot what the name of the drink I had, but it was a light green with a bit of a foamy top. I had my friend try it and she liked it as well and thought it was super refreshing! Our server was sweet as well and the ambience was very 'chill' and dark lit.

Johanna makes an amazing cocktail! Great place to grab a late night drink. Thank you!

Well, our 10 day trip throughout Oregon all the way down to California was mostly based around family and kids. We shook them loose and took an hour to go grab some fancy drinks in what looked like a super cool little speakeasy. I really wanted something that was different and unique compared to all of the places we used to and looking through the photos this place just looks so fun with the ambience and the overall aesthetics Now I'm not a big drinker and I am a big light weight as it comes so I just looked at what could be the earliest drink in realized why I probably don't go out drinking because man people spend a lot of money on cocktails . Granted a place like this everything is so unique and not just slowly thrown together alcohols and mixer so it's much more understandable than the five dollar water I bought the following day at Universal Studios Hollywood. We got a total of three drinks, and to be perfectly honest I just pointed out the pictures on yelp and told him that's what I wanted. Just about everything here has made from scratch and it's a great opportunity to dress up a little and go out and just vibe. Not a big user of that word but when you come in here and grab a little table, that's exactly what you're doing your Vibin. Come on down and grab some drinks and bring the crew

Been here before so we knew that we wanted to come back. Great service with the friendliest staff. Fantastic drink! The Bramble is SO good! Fries with dip is good. Crab dip is yummm!!! Really cool vibes. Will visit every time we're in town.

My go-to Napa cocktail establishment. Why? The boathouse decor, fabulous selection of cocktails and mocktails made with fresh ingredients, array of delicious bites that are fun to share and substantial enough to provide suitable sustenance , and a friendly professional team. In summary, there are only things to love about The Fink. Bonus: many nights feature great entertainment.

The Fink has a unique and extensive drink list, we love trying all the cocktails and snacks. very nice service and owner is usually there to say hello and check in with everyone. We love the fun ambiance and always highly recommend the Fink to friends and family!

FINKO! Best Tuesday night out for locals! Thank you Fink for a fun game of bingo and supporting all the local non-profits in town. Sooo appreciated

Some of the best drinks I've had! Wish I would've had a chance to try the food, but I'll def be back for it.

Great bar, great drink list, fun band! Best lobster rolls ever. Will definitely go again when visiting Napa, CA

Service is great! I went when Self Proclaimed Hero's played and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Some sets were so genius, I will gladly let them live rent free in my brain. It's like three of the talented kids from the GarageBand days got together and formed an amazing band. An incredible singer, amazing guitarist, and stellar drummer! Best time I've had in a long time!. If they're playing, I highly recommend going to the show. The food was great too.

Cocktails and food were on point. My wife and I enjoyed the atmosphere and drink menu- it has so many options, so they have drinks for any person. Crab dip was spot on, amazing!!!

A locally owned nightclub in the Hatt building. Great wine and cocktails. We had tasty small bites. The owner and staff are super friendly!

Had such a great experience at The Fink! The atmosphere was great and the drink selection was vast. So hard to pick just one. We also got some of the yummy food - the mushroom flatbread was my favorite! The service was great - they seem to really care about their customers. Will definitely be back again!

Unexpected speakeasy and bar. They have a great menu of cocktails which are expertly made. I would like to go back and try some of the food options. We went into hear music from a former local who now lives in Jackson MS. Fun place and we will be back!

Fun cozy bar. I highly recommend sitting at the bar and getting to know your mixologist as your experience will be even better. The craft cocktails are unique here where there are some that I have never scene before and some unique takes on classic cocktails. The service was excellent.

The Fink offered a super cool vibe and mellow atmosphere with delicious craft cocktails and yummy bites! The staff were extremely friendly and very attentive! Highly recommend this spot! Ps. The Halloween decor was fun too!

The Fink! Met a friend here the other night, and I was very impressed. The moody lighting, and the fun nautical theme made you feel transported out of the cold winter weather. Their drink menu was pretty expansive, although my one complaint was that I'd like 1 more tequila cocktail option, however the mixologist was great and made me a Tequila Sour that was delicious. We also munched on the crab sliders and pizza. The crab sandwiches were so good, I could have eaten 2 more. The vibe on a Friday was great and it was pretty busy. Can't wait to come back.

We went here with a group of friends on a Friday night during vacation in Napa Valley. During the day the place is really unassuming, but at night it was hoppin'. I would say the clientele that night was 30-50 yo for the most part. The cocktails on the menu are mostly classics, but there are a few twists on the classics, like an old-fashioned with a hint of banana. Everything we ordered was delicious. I would definitely go back there again if I was back in Napa.

Nice cozy place, and I love the atmosphere! Beautiful bar and piano. We enjoyed the cocktails immensely, the mocha milk punch is a wow! Smooth and creamy. Staff are very nice, and check to see if you need anything often. Public parking available nearby. Would definitely come back to try another cocktail drinks. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful new spot, speak easy vibe with dark colors decor. Thre menu has drinks spread across three sections: their classic cocktails, as well as a California-inspired section titled "LA to the Bay" which features tiki drinks, and "Gotham City," including New York-inspired cocktails. Come check it out!

What fun!!! Great atmosphere.....dark but so cool. We came for drinks and to play bar bingo for a good cause. We had a blast, the drinks were fantastic and The Professor (bartender) was very attentive, fun and talented. Drink menu was vast and will make something if you don't see what you like. My only negative would be the selection on the appetizer menu, it was a bit limited. Otherwise we had an amazing time, bingo was awesome, prizes great as and people, great. Definitely recommend

The Fink is Napa's newest, hippest cocktail lounge. Walking into The Fink is like being transported to another world. In the universe of famous bars, there's Sam's (made famous by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergen in Casablanca), there's the Maltese Falcon at John's Grill in San Francisco, and now, there's The Fink. Mysteries are solved, lovers retreat, and deals are closed in the private booths, but the bar is where the action is. The cocktail program is run by none other than Andrew Salazar, master mixologist and also an engaging storyteller. No review of The Fink would be complete without mentioning the captain of this ship and the namesake of the bar, Judd "The Fink" Finkelstein. Judd has an encyclopedic knowledge of Napa history, and this up and coming establishment is Judd's brainchild. Walking in, it feels like Judd has been behind the bar forever, and if things keep going well, he just might.

When my husband and I came in the bar, the bar tender looked at us in a very rude manner, he didn't ask what we wanted, he just made hand gestures with a bad face. My husband asked him if he had a certain drink and immediately said no, didn't even care to ask what was in it or offered something similar. We were there to discover a good drink and instead got a bitter experience..The place looks good but the energy is not there.

Ambience was amazing but the bartender was very grumpy. He forgot that we ordered nuts and since he never smiled and was very short to us I was to afraid to remind him...

This is a great spot to relax with friends while enjoying good music, great food notes, and fabulous drinks. We stumbled upon this place after reading the reviews on Yelp, and boy are we glad we did! Excellent service, staff, ambience. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area. Thank you, Mr. Fink ;)

I almost don't want to review The Fink, because once word gets out, there will be a line out the door. The Fink has hands down the BEST cocktails in the entire Napa Valley! (There, I said it.) The ambiance is welcoming, a little dark and vibey, and sort of like if there was a Disneyland ride that involved fabulous cocktails and really nice people. If you're in Napa for the wine, DO NOT forget to check out the place where all the wine industry goes for a drink.

A uniquely wonderful addition to the Napa Valley where wine and overly showcased food abounds. This escape from all that is a discovery that awaits with an abundance of true cocktail expertise elevated right alongside casual bites. The cocktail menu is outstanding and reinvents seasonally. The small plates delight and the lobster rolls transport one back to the Maine coastline. A MUST for visitors and a MUST FREQUENT for locals!

The Fink is the greatest bar in town, with a cool vibe and a fabulous location nestled between Celadon and L'Angele restaurants. (The bar food at the Fink is also great!). Fun Fact: You are likely to be greeted by "The Fink" himself, i. e., Judd Finkelstein, a most hospitable and sweet guy who also happens to own and operate Judd's Hill Winery (also worth checking out!). Please know that the cocktail menu is vast and incredible. Bartender "Doctor" Salazar creates wonderful hand-crafted potions, as well as mock tails! May we suggest their Navy Grog and the Nui Nui?! You'll no doubt agree that this place is wonderful when you go there yourself and "have a drink at The Fink"

Great place. Delicious cocktails and food. Will be back! Service was nice. Fun ambiance. Listened to some great music.

Great atmosphere with live music. Amazing service and the cocktails were delicious! It's in a great area in downtown near the river.
