The Dirty

The Dirty is best bar in Santa Rosa. Friendly, great crowd, fabulous team - The most popular bar north of Petaluma, California. I meet tourists from Colorado and they love The Dirty when visiting Sonoma Wineries.

I like the kicked back atmosphere and the awesome artwork everywhere. Theyve got his drinks, pool tables, an outside area and the employees are cool.

Closed early today. (Mon 11/20) but by far my favorite dive bar. Amazing bar tenders that are quick and responsive. Crowd is younger than most bars in the area. Piece as always is low to average.(as expected for dive bar.

Read a few reviews about how rude this place is, and I second that. Went there there bar back was rude when I asked for a drink. I asked him, can you tell the bartender I'm trying to order a drink. He said we're crowded, which it wasn't. I'm the only colored person standing right at the bar, but nobody sees me or acknowledged me after making eye contact. You know who's standing at bar/ who doesn't have a drink. Felt like this place will serve you quicker if you were white, being it's Santa Rosa. But oh well. That's just how it goes. Won't be going back to this place that's for sure.

Luke is a pleasure to chat with while he makes your drink. No beers on tap but plenty of other options and good choice of cider.

Well. It certainly is dirty. Lol. Tables were always gross and filled with empty dirty glasses. Interesting crowd, very VERY friendly people. Like almost too friendly to the point where I can't walk across the room in peace with my girlfriend without being asked about my entire life story. Part 2: After seeing the establishment's response I've decided to add some things since their sass knows no bounds. I shouldn't have to ask the staff to do their jobs...? That's like asking for a cup with my drink. By "friendly" I politely meant "drunk as heck". Over serving at a dive bar? What a concept. And just to really top off the cake; a sassy, unapologetic response from the establishment themselves! Someone give these guys a gold star. Oh wait. I think I will. Bravo on that life choice.

The best parts of a dive bar without the negatives, what's not to love? It's never too packed and people are chill, management listens if there is a problem with a patron. It's a super diverse and accepting crowd. What's not to love?
