Normally, I don't have anything negative to say about the local "dive bar". Like most crappy bars the B is a shithole for locals with enough history to make it unaffected to any online review, local gossip, or public sanitation codes. Most patrons tend to say it is was it is and stop when the occasion arises.
Today however the B & B gave me reason to blast it a new asshole and proclaim upon them jihad the likes of which they have never seen before.
You see today on the holiest of holy drinking days (St Patrick's day) I choose to go to the B for a cocktail. As I made my way to the door at 10 AM a friend jokingly pushed me and I stumbled on the sidewalk. The power tripping door guys decided it was reason enough to deny me entrance though I was as sober as a judge, a local, and a regular.
Its not my first run in with the unfriendly, unprofessional, unintelligent juveniles that run the door. The drinks may be strong and cheap but it's not worth the mental rape you will endure by the security jackals.
I am in the hospitality industry and would never allow my guest to be treated with such disrespect therefore I wouldn't recommend stopping by the B&B. For an alternative head over to John and Zeeks or visit Daniel at Willis Wine Bar.
EXACTLY what it is supposed to be and something Healdsburg needs in the worst way...CHARACTER...With all the trendy superficial BS establishments taking over this town the B&B is a refreshing and familiar place to anyone that has ever darkened the door of their local tavern...It's too bad that the building owners are apparently driving the B&B out of the building (likely to put in another damn tasting room or Spoon Bar type absurdity)...This town needs at least one old school traditional local place such as this watering hole since the entire downtown has been taken over by pretentious greed mongers seeking only the transient and boorish tourist dollars...With John and Zekes also being involuntarily moved on I guess the last bastions of being a real town will vanish with them...Thanks for all the great years!
Review Source:Pickled asparagus in a bloody mary? Â You can win me over with that any day of the week... Â Nice little dive in a part of the state where you wouldn't imagine dives would be popular. Â Couple of booths and a solid pool table to complement the nice open space. Â Even the redneck NASCAR decorations on the walls were not that offensive to me on this particular trip. Â Don't rip on the Sharks when you are there either (kinda hard when you are a Kings fan!); apparently some of the bartenders don't like that. Â The bartender Erin is a sweetheart.
