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.

    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!

    The type of music was fine it was just too loud. Such a huge problem in the Sebastopol restaurants (except a recent experience at Campanella). I don't want to hear the conversation of the table next to me as they try to talk over the music and I don't want them to hear mine. It's too bad. I was enjoying the ambience. The food and service was very good. But, it makes for an overall tiresome experience to speak loudly and repeat sentences.

    Fern Bar’s Saturday night vibe is lively and the menu matches with a creative mix of our favorites like Fried Chicken, The Greens, and Smashburgers with unique seasonal entrees for vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers alike. An example from last night? The Roasted Savoy Cabbage, a wedge served on a bed of Beluga Lentil Dal with Delicata Squash rings, cashew cream, pickled onions, tamarind and cilantro all on a fresh crispy Dosa wafer. I’d tried it once before and seeing it on the menu again I didn’t need to look any further. Savory, creamy, tart, sweet, crunchy, all the things. A unique and sensational dish!
