215 is open even when it's closed! Â we are oakland/s fer's and this is our favorite place in this part of the world for a drink and maybe a bring-over dinner from uneda eat (across the street); we popped in yesterday, but 215 was closed and andrew (an owner) and his fiance were doing some deep cleaning there, but put all that aside and we had some very nice roederer sparkling and great conversation; just the four of us; this place a really a home run!! just go there!
Review Source:This might be the Cheers of the Mendo Coast, only with real characters like Bill, the owner, who have all been around and opened this comfy, classy wine bar to feed the soul and lift the spirit. Â Cathy and I had a party here for 40 and intend on having another soon. Â Locals and weekend beachcombers all felt welcomed and good time had by all. Â Want to sit at the bar with a pizza from The General or fish and chips from Chowder House, no problem. Obviously a task of love to open and run this gem and it shows. Â Good for making small-talk with Mr. or Mrs. Right or even Mr. or Miss Right Now.
Wow! Had my welcome home to Mendo Party here in August and it was another Good Time. Things got too busy for Bill so Bill's daughter, Brawin of Redwood Fire, Co-owner Tish and another charming lady helped bartend. Chowder House catered with their baked salmon and sushi platters and even the party crashers couldn't resist pigging out. Â Thanks to all.
Exceptional, even if it was located in San Francisco, and it definitely is not. Why is an establishment of this quality in this small coastal town? It's great, nice growing selection of reasonably priced wine, tempting weekly events, great interior design, right across the street from a reclaimed cinema house showing art films and first run block buster. Do not miss this place. Opens at 2:15 daily.
