440 Club - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

My Favorite Local Dive Bar This spot is hands-down my favorite local dive bar. The drink prices are super reasonable, and the bartenders are not only friendly--they make you feel right at home. Michelle is my go-to bartender (she's the best!), but I also love Candace and Edie--they're all amazing and bring great vibes every time. During the day, it's mostly a crowd of regulars, which gives the place a laid-back, welcoming feel. But you'll still see some out-of-towners passing through. On weekend nights, the energy shifts to a younger, more lively crowd--especially when the jukebox is going and everyone's playing their favorite bangers. If you're looking for a chill spot with great value, good drinks, and genuinely cool people who are just there to have a good time, I highly recommend this place. Bonus: it's clean, which is a big deal for a dive bar--not like some of those sketchier, grimy spots around town. read more

Pony tail w the mustache sucks at pouring and is completely rude will never come back here again. I decided to check this bar out for the first time and I so surprised it's even open looks like it gonna shut down in matter of days. They obviously making so much money somehow to stay open and do NOT want any more new clientele. Made that loud and clear. Ponytail seemed so inconvenienced to be working... you can find better prices at other places and get way better service. I don't know who is keeping this place open but they can bare that responsibility. read more

I have driven past the 440 club for decades but never stopped by. I was out with my wife and friends and they had never been as well. We decided, why not? It was a dimly lit interior and fairly small space. There were just a few people in there and we sat at the Bar. The bartender was very nice and we chatted with him for a bit before we ordered. I ordered a Bourbon without ice and it was a good choice and not very expensive. Four other people showed up and it was a party. They were outgoing and we had a great time. Glad we stopped by. The bartender was attentive. read more

440 Club - Great drinks, good music, chill people - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Relaxed, chill and more mature "acting" crowd. I mean, no loud crazies here, at least the night I visited. In and outdoor seating. Smaller dive bar with lots of varieties of drinks and brands. It is connected to a mini liquor store after all! Wonderful bartender and bouncer. They have a parking lot and there is lots of street parking. read more

440 Club - Bar - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

The diviest dive bar in santa rosa and I love it. The atmosphere is always friendly and the bartenders are great. read more

My favorite place to enjoy a great atmosphere. And friendly bartenders who are some of the best people I have ever met.

Love a good dive bar and this place def has potential.... Maybe it was an off night... definitely will try again, went in on a Friday evening, handful of patrons... not the most attentive staff but usually that is the charm. Will update soon... read more

Bartender was the sh*t no need for a plumber. Dude was chill made the bar feel cool and relaxed 10/10 would go again. Plenty of laughs and good times read more

The bartender towed my car this morning. I called just afternoon and the tow truck driver was there because I Ubered home last night. She said, I was not in a designated parking spot, but when I try to intercept the tow truck driver by going there, they were all kinds of cars parked, where I had a part. I guess this is my punishment for taking an Uber home when I had too many to drink. I guess the 440 club would rather you drive drunk? Ridiculous. I am a bartender, I would never touch someone's car in less than 24 hours. I used to frequent there. I have already had some regulars contact me and say they've seen cars there for days and what Michele did was messed up. I don't know why she did that - I know my car looks like a piece of shit, but that's no excuse. Super bummed not going back read more

Officially the best dive bar in. The staff is amazing, quick and pleasant. I have never had a bad experience here. Love it

Just went to this place with a couple friends for my 21st - we just looked up nearby bars and walked to the closest one. Not only was the bartender super nice, but the environment in itself was awesome. Made my day a lot more awesome. Shoutout to Michelle for being an awesome bartender! This place rocks and I would highly recommend it! read more

My husband walked 18 minutes to 440 CLUB because he was waiting for his ride home and wanted to grab a beer before coming home. The bartender "female" asked for his ID and he gave it to her. She took it and came back and said that she would not validate his ID because he was wearing his hat on the image of the ID. Let it be known that DMV reps say it is okay. He got up and left very tired and disappointed. It surprises us that she did not have the ability to distinguish a real state issued ID from a fake one. It surprises us that they do not have a scanner that can scan my ID and verify it is in fact a real ID. It really makes us wonder what kind of business they are running or what kind of employees they have working for them. If taught proprly or if had a machine or blue light they would of known it is real. But it was in fact so difficult for her to distinguish a real ID from a fake ID. He will not be coming back for sure! read more

I went here 12 minutes before 2 when they stop selling alcohol and all the bartenders were just hanging out inside drinking while there were paying customers outside. It should say they close at 1:45 not 2. I could've went elsewhere to get something and was too trusting with what yelp said. read more

This place seems pretty polarizing but my experience there was nothing but positive. It seemed like a classic dive bar (and I guess combination liquor store) with strong beer, friendly people, and a lady selling tasty chicken taquitos. Not sure if the taquitos are a regular thing or just the friday that we were there. read more

Coo spot to grab a drink or 2. Friendly bartender n young crowd base. Lots of parking space n clean bathrooms. Drinks ok. Had a whiskey sour but he garnished my drink with a lime smh it was eh so when I ordered it again I asked for a cherry which made the drink great. Music is provided if u play money for it n per song seems pretty pricey. They need a game in there... too small for a pool table but darts could work or a foosball/ air hockey table?!! The tv selection was eh as well. They were watching a old movie I guess but it didn't seem interesting to me at all I would say comedy is always best if ur at a place to cheer up with drinks in hand lol read more

440 Club - Cranberry Vodka n Whiskey Sour - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

First and last time at this place Bartender didn't want to serve drinks after I didn't move from a bar stool after it being empty for 30 minutes. friend of bartender or regular customer was cussing me out and trying to kick me out, getting in my face, and throwing his glass in front of me for a stool that was empty for the longest time I didn't move from the seat because a coaster on top of a drink on the other side of the stool does not mean you reserved it, especially when you're gone for a long period of time and there's other seats. I could have moved seats, but I didn't because when there's 2 people cussing at me and 2 bartenders trying to say I was "being rude" I'm simply not going to move. Still had the nerve to say they asked me nicely lol So if you want to have a couple drinks and mind your own business This isn't the place There's plenty other options read more

cool chill spot - drinks are cheap, not seriously cheap for where you're at - but it's cool. I think it was Matt-chu that was bartending when i was there, he looked kinda dirty and scruffy - but a good dude all in all. no happy hour here - it's all about cheap anyway - when i was there - no girls, just some old dudes smoking outside - kind of freaky Will I end up that way?? I hope not, but maybe they're living la vida loca in their mind - drunk and smoking. read more

Great group of locals and great owners. This is for the person after a hard day or half a day. To come and drink to distress. Great drinks

This is the Cheers bar of Sonoma. Great staff, clientele and great mood. I live in Seattle but look forward to coming to 440 when in town!

Favorite little hole in the wall. Open everyday from 3-10 pm due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The tacos are bomb. Can't wait to go back and see DJ and get a beer. Plus the liquor store is open too. read more

I'm not normally one to write negative reviews of places because I'm in the industry, however, when a local bartender is obstinately racist in front of you, it makes me want to address it. I can understand having an off day but if I'm PAYING to play R&B on a JUKEBOX and I'm told that if I keep playing that "ni**a ni**a music" he's going to skip it, it can upset someone. Sorry to say I won't be back and I hope that if you don't support racism you don't come here either. read more

Pretty chill-back, little dive bar. The bartender, Jack, is a friendly and inviting, young gentle with an up beat personality. If you're looking for food, this isn't the place to go. lol They only have cup of noodle, frozen corn dogs and chimichangas, so if you're looking for bubble-gut, this is the place. Born and raised in Santa Rosa, I never knew this was a bar, just thought it was a liquor store. Oh wait!! They do offer complimentary warm toasted cashews. Yummy! read more

I think I saw Leather Tuscadero from Happy Days in here, except now she's a man. we found this place to be a little sad. Like if you saw smoky voiced 80's pop star Kim Carnes sitting at the bus stop or on tv telling you her sleep number is 23. There is a "past it's prime 80's kitsch meets dive" feel to this joint that must draw in the locals, but not on the Saturday night we were there. We did see the 4 goths that live in the area walk in when we were leaving, so I suspect the party stats pretty late. one star for cheap drinks and one star for having Woodford Bourbon. read more

I hit up the 40 once a year. I stay at the Travelodge in the 440's immediate vicinity and I get my decently priced, strongly poured drink on every August. This year I finally got to visit the entire trifecta of dive bars on this particular corner, and I can safely say that the 40 is my home away from home. I don't care for the pool tables at the Dirty Bird, and the crowd at the Belvedere was definitely not my scene -- too collegiate, too clean-cut, too pretty. Since I'm none of the above, I ran straight back to my security blanket -- the liquor store attachment and straight up ghetto singular room that is the 40. I'll never leave you again, baby. Ever. In any other instance I would not be pleased that the bartender decided to cut off my friend Hanakura's chosen songs on the juke. However, it's the 40, and I don't think Spice Girls, Hanson, Backstreet Boys or Justin Bieber were cutting it. Even for irony's sake. I understand. Car bombs, "Corona and cream", vodka energy drinks, PBR tall boys... the memories just keep on rolling. Hanakura, my bro, Paisa Alex, Steve-O, Rob Zombie, Fish, Gazo, Ralphie, Bonofide, and of course my Football Knight... ah, so many good times with so many of my favorite people. I wish I knew the bartenders' names so I could give them gigantic Yelp hugs on here, but if you guys read this just know that I love you guys and look forward to seeing you every year! read more

Best bar in town. Period. When I first arrived in Santa Rosa, the person who was driving me around pointed it out and said "that's the dive-iest bar in town." I made a mental note. Later, with other folks, I was given the opportunity to experience the joy of this bar. Let's start with the price: less expensive than most other bars, including most other dives. $5.25 for Maker's on the rocks? Deal. Something around three bucks for a gin and tonic. Also: CASH ONLY. The bartenders, amazing. Larry is a god among men, Buster (the few times he's there) brings so much class to the 40 that I'm surprised it doesn't collapse. Carl and JP are great as well. All of these fine, upstanding citizens are cool, collected, and totally capable of dealing with the enormous loads of crap which are shoveled their way by the crowds of hipsters and drunks who frequent this haven of havens. The atmosphere, solid. Show up on a Mon-Thurs and the place should be relatively calm. There might be a game on the little TV, there might be Spongebob. You just don't know. Show up on a Fri/Sat and the jukebox is constantly in use ( it'll take 40+ minutes for your picks to come up) with a variety of classic dive-bar AC/DC/Journey to Talking Heads to random dance tracks. The tiny little dance floor (more like a mat) will have folks dancing, and it'll be hard to make your way to the extremely small and dirty bathroom. There you will wait as there will be a line. Then you will wonder if you need hand sanitizer. Then you'll say "forget that, I'm gonna go get another drink." And so the night goes on... read more

Come for the dive bar experience, stay for the people watching. Actually, seeing that I go there occasionally, you might be people watching my friends and I. This place is a true dive bar and attracts people from all different walks of life. Like any good dive bar, the drinks are strong and the prices are low. Fun fact: this is one of the few places left in California that is both a bar and liquor store. read more

This place sucks. Period. Only reason I give 1 star is because of johnny and I can't give 0. This place smells like a rotting foot, owners have no idea how to run a bar since Frank passed away. Due Santa Rosa a favor and close up shop or sell. Bartenders here have no idea how to make even basic drinks. Want a drink go around the corner to the Round Robin or the Belvedere. Update: Now that Johnny is gone, there is no reason to frequent this scum hole. read more

Classic Santa Rosa dive bar. A beer and whiskey type of place. Go somewhere else if you want wine. Friendly patrons, plenty of booze and a jukebox that'll play just about anything you can think of. What more do you need? read more

Pretty divey and the drinks are fairly strong for the cheap prices. You'll find all types here, just try not to be a douchebag or you won't be put up with long. read more

What a delightful little dive this is. I've only been here once but it was a blast. The drinks are cheap, the bartenders kept 'em coming, and the jukebox had us up and dancing all night long. I wish this place was bigger and had more seating, but what can you do? read more

Best damn bar for miles around. A "drinking den" of legendary tale. Merle Haggard would have liked to drink here, along with George (Jones) Bring your liver, and a few dollars. You'll love it! read more

Love this place I just drive by and I see it then i decided to be spontaneous And just to stop by and have a beer I will call to My friend and tell her to come read more

Want to go out to drink but don't want people to see you? The 440 Club is your stop as a true alcoholics bar. Liquor store in front, bar in back, w/swinging doors to seperate the two. The drinks are cheap, the bartenders are surly, and the lighting dim! Its a dive bar, voted runner-up in the Bohemian, losing out to Reds Recovery Room, which should give you some idea. This is where the hipsters from Aromas hang out after drinking coffee all day and discussing the world. I give it four stars, because it doesn't pertain to be anything more than a dive bar, but only four because some idiot always thinks its cool to play "Ring of Fire" read more

So I pop in and out of Santa Rosa - usually looking for trouble and to spread a little joy. During my journeys I have come across the 440 - mostly because I am not a strong reader and their name has no letters - so just due to convenience I generally like the place. Like anywhere the 440 has it's pros and cons but the drinks were strong and the staff anywhere from hostile to friendly. I have had some issues - one time I was in there "Mike M", who first of all introduced himself by saying "Hey babe" to me. So he kept trying to get me to take these pills to "adjust attitudes" and handing me these odd "I hate my job" cards. I'm pretty open minded but I wasn't happy about this - I don't know, the whole thing struck me as odd. Then there was this "Lena K" - she was a bit frisky - saying we should "enjoy ourselves" and that "she's always enjoyed herself at the 440". I was cool - she wasn't necessarily what I was shopping for but she kept pushing - "come on" she said, "this place is windowless and dicey - it'll be cool if we enjoy ourselves over in the corner". Say what? She ended up going to the attached liquor store which she spoke highly of. read more

This place just kinda sucks... maybe it's an off day, but it is Friday... and the place is filled with weirdos, and worthless millennials all talking about amazon and google (as I type this on my iPhone and remember that I'm dangerously close to being a millennial...) anyways drinks are decently priced, they do have a heavy hand, so I increased my star to 4 after realizing I shouldn't be a complete asshole... I mean it's really not that bad, it's clean and has a decent vibe, just feels weird... ya know what I mean?!? read more

Dive among dives. Just when you think theres Nowhere left in town to get a drink at 1:45 am, bam 440! You can even buy a bottle of booze to-go! How convienient :) read more

Definitely a place I will make a point of returning to when I pass through Santa Rosa again someday. The 440 Club is pretty much a dive bar, with filthy carpet, hilariously filthy washrooms and semi-sketchy customers. BUT its a great place to stop into without a doubt. The bartenders are fast, the cans of PBR are cheap and ice cold, and the mix of customers is what makes this place great. Pretty much everyone was friendly as all hell. 70% 21 - 35 folks who are either semi-punk rockers, try hard rockabillies, or other "alternative scenesters". 30% middle aged broken down regulars or cougars. The Internet jukebox means you could go from Social Distortion to pop-dance quite abruptly. Highly recommended joint with generally friendly people, with rough edges. read more

One Tuesday night here I saw a full grown kangaroo dancing to Black Betty on the bar. He had 'bar hopped' from the Dirty Bird where he drink 13 shots of fireball and tit punch a frat girl for laughing at his cargo shorts. Would come back. read more
