Nice renovations to our old favorite Tavern. Need a foot railing for the bar. Good selection of beer and booze. Adequate TV coverage for sports. Bar staff in a Thursday was not very fast/impressive (loved to talk to each other) Poured beer into warm pint glasses. Yuck! But maybe it was the night.

Ranch Water is a standout spot in San Rafael, blending a laid-back neighborhood vibe with top-notch service and creative cocktails. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, perfect for a casual night out or a more upbeat evening with live music. The staff is awesome — the kind of place that feels like a local favorite the moment you walk in. They were the perfect spot for our friend’s wedding after party to keep the night going.

Great bar! We had some of our wedding cocktails inspired by their menu and came here for the afterparty. Amazing staff who accommodated our party and overall great vibes, will be back very soon!

Just what San Rafael needed, Ranch Water is a friendly neighborhood bar with live music and more. The staff is attentive, and the house cocktails are a medley of excellence. It offers a lively atmosphere, making it a great place to bring a date or friends. You may also catch one of the owners, Duncan, a former bartender/program manager at Palm House, on site. If you don’t see something on the menu that strikes your fancy, tell the staff, and they’ll put something together that you’ll surely enjoy. Welcome to San Rafael!

Awesome spot for drinks on 4th Street! Fabulous cocktails (at a reasonable price point) and a welcoming staff. A great addition to downtown San Rafael!

This new spot has taken San Rafael by storm. With incredible staff and an original twist on a country style bar, Ranch Water is the first and last stop whenever I go out (solo or with friends). Super reasonable, incredible (often local) live music that always draws a great crowd, mixed with great cocktails/mixologists, is ALWAYS a recipe for success. Ranch Water is THE place to check out when in Marin, and especially if you are in San Rafael. Like so many locals, you most likely with fall in love with this charming little gem too! Special shoutout to Duncan, Diego, and Julie- all your help for our community, your creativity, and overall attitudes! Love to see San Rafael excited again, thank you Ranch Water!!
