No cover on NYE?! count me in! The bartender gave me a generous pour of champagne in a wine glass lols I'm not complaining. I got there around 10:30p well before the countdown. It was so fun! The DJ Gray Young was pretty good. I loved that we could walk across the street from our hotel too! Would love to come back just to hang out if I'm ever back in town. read more

Wonderful time at Cadet its a wine and beer bar right off the main street in Napa. The bartenders and servers were very efficient and so friendly and offered to let me sample wines before purchasing. The charcuterie board was perfect. I heard on weekends they have a DJ and it really turns into the Hot spot in napa! Great casual spot check out. read more

We came in here for some AC and for a quick drink - it was quite empty mid Sunday but it appears like it's bumping in the evenings. The bartender was friendly and quick - we got one glass of rose and one cocktail that was sangria-esque but very refreshing.They had a small food menu as well and clean restrooms - definitely a nice spot for before dinner drinks or late night snack. read more

Came here twice will in Napa. The first time I ordered the wine flight and you get your pick of 3 wines. My favorite was the cab, so the next time we came, I ordered that one twice. Super tasty. We came pretty early both nights, but by the time we left, it got packed. Great vibes. Definitely a great night spot. read more

Our server Jose was so sweet (despite us being loud lol) and got us our food and drinks out in no time. I love the mood lighting here; it really adds a winding-down, relaxing vibe to the place.

Not really one to leave reviews but I felt the need to this time, me and my friends went in around 11:15 and they notified us it was last call and were handed some menus, so we were okay with just ordering a quick drink before they close in 45 minutes! We went up to the bar and the female bartender refused to serve us a drink because it was "last call" so we had left and then walked back and noticed the people that were waiting at the bar after us were served drinks immediately. read more

Beer and wine? No problem. Dark, good music, nice looking people, indoor and outdoor settings, service is quick, drinks are affordable.. it gets crowded at night and is one of the few spots that are open really late, tucked in a clean and lit up alley. Its a very mature crowd and dress code was very casual. Nice place to hang out late night and is very clean, small and intimate place. I will return. We enjoyed the wine , music and nice atmosphere. We left at midnight and it was still crowded! read more

Cute little wine and beer bar! A very intimate place during the day and night for first dates or just any dates with your family/ friends! First, the ambiance of this place is super chills. So please don't bring any bad vibes here! The music they play fits perfectly well. Nothing too upbeat or too mellow. As soon as my sisters and I entered, we were immediately greeted with a menu and thankfully, we found a table! Note: this isn't a spacious place; it'll get packed in here. They do have outdoor seating but it's still too cold (Feb. 2020). We each got a wine flight ($20). Comes with your choice of three two-ounce wines: bubbles, whites, reds, rose. Unfortunately, I don't remember what I got, but to be completely honest, I only favored the third glass from the left. It was a white. They do have snacks such as cheese/ meat boards and/or paninis. They also have daily specials! Every day, this place does something! So I definitely recommend this wine and beer bar to anyone and everyone visiting or exploring the Napa area. read more

We decided to host a welcome party for our wedding weekend at Cadet. We inquired about hosting a private party with Leah a few months prior, and the entire time leading up to the event day, she was extremely communicative, helpful, and friendly. She provided recommendations on how to structure food/drinks for a large group, as well as provided frequent updates. The day of the event, Leah and her team were set up for us before anybody arrived, which made it super easy for my wife and I to relax and enjoy our time with our friends and family without any stress. The service from Leah and her team was excellent, and the vibe of the wine bar was just so perfect for our group. Also, the small bites / canapes that were served were all delicious. Overall, we had a great time at Cadet, and would highly recommend stopping in for a glass of wine or hosting a private party here. read more

The most extensive, unique and diverse wine list in a downtown Napa . They recently partnered with Oenotri the Italian spot next door to serve the most delightful chacuterie boards! I love this place because it's where young wine industry professionals who live in Napa go to party! On Wednesdays, they host a winemaker, or regionally themed BTG tasting that is always new and interesting, often hosted by local winemakers themselves. I highly recommend stopping by Cadet after dinner in downtown Napa. read more

Great service! We were recommended this place by one of the servers from a restaurant nearby. My friend only likes sweet wine, which they didn't have, but the bartender was determined to find her something that she would like. We settled with a black currant cider, and it was so good! They also have some small bites as well but we were too full from dinner. The ambiance is nice, and dark with a nice crowd. It is a little hidden from the main street but worth it. I will definitely return. read more

I've lived in Napa County for most of my life & have never heard about this place until recently. Came here the other night with a friend & it's pretty hip & to be honest with you, the ambiance is perfect. Friendly staff. The drinks are moderately priced for Napa. & the drinks they offer include a wide range of wines & beer -especially the local ones. I haven't been here during the day, but I've heard they offer plates & snacks in the afternoon hours. If you're in Napa, this is the place to be. Bring your friends & enjoy a few drinks.

Worst customer service in wine country. I'm local and went for a glass of wine after dinner with a friend on a busy Friday night, it took a full 20 minutes for any bartender to acknowledge us. That's 20 minutes of sitting at the bar, bartenders less then a foot away. Three bartenders, all equally rude and unwelcoming. The wine, ambiance & music were good, but the service tainted the experience. The proprietor should explain the importance of servers making eye contact with guests and greeting them. We understand if you're busy, but no one wants to pay to be ignored. read more

She made me a great ol' fashion with her choice. Since I'm originally from Kentucky, I was a little skeptical of a distillery in Napa Valley.

With a wasabi and fennel infused vodka, it was too unique not to be curious about. Upon arriving and looking over the menu, SEVERAL cocktails stood out to me as intriguing to try. I started with the Wabi Sabi which was as interesting as it sounded. While I didn't pick up on fennel, you do pick up on the wasabi, but in the most subtle of ways. Think maybe lime/ginger sparkling water with just a hint of spice. Refreshing and different for sure. I also tried the Mucha Lucha w/ cilantro infused Siete Leguas Blanco, chorizo infused mezcal and cubes made of hot sauce that make the drink have a bit more of a kick as you allow them to melt. I did the HH chips and guac which was also accompanied with a tasty Chipotle sauce. Damn good actually. It'd be excellent served in a variety of ways. The deviled eggs aren't going to blow your mind, but I like that you get 4 different ones- and simply because I love eggs, I'd order them again. (They just wouldn't be a dish that brings me back). The bartender was great- helpful and attentive, even as more people began to filter in for an early afternoon. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Napa to check out some other menu options.

Levendi Winery & Tasting Room

I stumbled upon Levendi through a recommendation from a coworker, and it has since become my…read moreabsolute favorite tasting room in Napa. My husband and I were able to call ahead and schedule a very last-minute tasting, and from the very beginning, the hospitality was exceptional. I work in the wine industry on the retail side in Texas, while my husband does not, so creating an experience that feels both educational and approachable for both of us is not always easy. Steve absolutely nailed it. He welcomed us warmly, shared thoughtful stories about the wines and the winery, and made the experience feel incredibly personal. The tasting room itself is beautiful and feels like a hidden gem in Napa. We especially loved learning about the wines and the woman winemaker behind Levendi. The tasting was stunning from start to finish. What truly sets Levendi apart, though, is the level of hospitality. Since our visit, I have referred many of my favorite clients to Levendi, and Steve consistently goes above and beyond for them. He bends over backwards to make sure my customers are taken care of, and every single person I've sent has come back raving about their experience. At this point, a trip to Napa would not feel complete without a stop at Levendi. I honestly cannot imagine Napa without Levendi -- or Steve. If it's your first visit, do yourself a favor and try the Stagecoach. You won't be sorry.

My friends think I'm crazy how much I geek out about beer, so I'm pretty thankful to have stumbled across this beer and wine geek mecca last week! I work in Napa so I spend a lot of time there and I like to try all the new spots that are opening up. Downtown is really changing in to a super fun area. It was never so a few years ago! Places like this and La Taberna are really making Napa a destination. I won't say Napa is the new Frisco but it's def one of the more fun Norcal cities. I couldn't decide what to order and even though I'm a self confessed beer geek, I didn't recognize all the beers they offered. Luckily the bartender noticed I was struggling a bit so she really helped me find the style of beer I was looking for. I had a sour beer from Sepastopol which was awesome....WoodFour I think. Then she recommended I try something not so funky for my second beer. I had a belgian blonde beer which was amaze! I can't wait to go back and visit this place again. I'd come back 3-4 times a week if I lived closer and didn't have to drive back to Sonoma. It's my new favorite spot. Hang out hear before the tourists find out!! read more

Was recommended to visit this bar from some local winemakers. It's a little hard to find the location in downtown Napa (it's down an alley, behind a Subway sandwich shop), but it's worth the trip! We were greeted warmly and had lots of recommendations. My hubby had a beer flight and I tried some local white wines. We weren't hungry as we already ate but they have a beautiful meat slicer and they were slicing prosciutto to order. We couldn't resist! The vibe was nice and chill when we came in at about 7pm and the place filled up quickly thereafter. Great selection, good music too. read more

Can't believe I stumbled across this place in Napa! Reminds me of a beer bar you'd find in portland. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and a yummy selection of cheese and meats. I brought my boyfriend here and he was impressed with the beer selection. I enjoyed a french chenin blanc. The bartender let us play our favorite band on the record player, The Flaming Lips. We stayed long and spent too much money but we had fun! I can't wait to re-visit when I'm in Napa. You have to go down an alley to find the bar but it's totally worth it. read more

My last visit was years ago so returning again with my boyfriend felt fun a new. We arrived and used their elevator to the second floor. Afterwards, we were greeted by the hostess who escorted us to the bar and our wine expert Jamal. Jamal was so great! He was very knowledgeable about the pairing of specific wines and food. He was very fun and helpful! In our tasting, we had the 2023 white blend, Petite Syrah, Merlot, and Zinfandel. As someone who really loves reds, the 2023 white blend really stood out to me because I had never had a white blend before but it was also just really wonderful! I'm really glad we were able to revisit after all these years and that it is just as amazing now as it was then! Sn: In their restrooms, they have really cool wallpaper with some Bay Area legends like Mac Dre , E-40, and even Alice Waters!
