About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Innovative
  • Hot spot
As a bar-focused restaurant, we craft garden-to-glass cocktails served alongside Chef Joe Zobel's modern American cuisine inspired by West Sonoma County's abundance of biodiversity. Along with our menu of innovative and delicious dishes, the bar features house-made beer and spirit-free elixirs, as well as locally-sourced and small-production wines by the glass. Fern Bar's airy, plant-filled space can be found within The Barlow, Sebastopol's popular shopping and dining destination. Our outdoor dining room is covered with a heater next to every table, it still gets cold so bring a layer.

    Very good, but smallish dinner menu. Their vegetarian options are excellent. I highly recommend the Kimchi pancake (or whatever they call it). Also recommend the “Umami Bomb”. The non veggie options are pretty good too. Great cocktail menu.

    Very nice meal at Fern Bar. I have celiac, so their gluten free choices are pretty good. They also have a dedicated fryer so fried chicken and French fries are free from cross contamination. Yes the fried chicken coating is gluten free. Drinks were great, and the service superb. If you’re dairy free, they were super cooperative with that too. They made a grasshopper with coconut milk instead of cream. Delicious.

    Horrible quality, everything has gone downhill slowly in the recent months. Not worth it like it used to be.

    Fern Bar is a gem in the Barlow! The staff was accommodating on a reservation change - and the service from David was impeccable. The cocktail menu is different and fun and the food was so unique and DELICIOUS. Casual spot to pop in for a quiet cocktail.

    First time here. Cocktails were very good. Food was good but a bit overpriced in our opinion; sign of the times I guess. Wife and I shared the chips with blue cheese dip. $19 for potato chips and dip is a bit much but it was tasty and they did give us extra chips. The main course was the lamb stuffed cabbage. It shocked me at $32 for about 3 ounces of ground lamb in a cabbage leaf and a small side of quinoa and harissa. I would have thought two stuffed cabbage rolls at this price. Atmosphere is fun. Love the tropical vibe. We will definitely return!
