It's closed due to far too many problems.........first off was it's name, " infusions" should have either been named " Infections" from the STD's one was likely to receive if they should choose to hook up with one of the lowlifes that frequented this place, or Another more accurate name woulda been "infractions" since virtually every weekend found this place overrun with cops after numerous drunken brawls, gang activity, people puking on the sidewalk as they staggered away from this place........frankly, this place got a single star rating only because Yelp doesn't offer you an option for awarding zero stars. Â This wasn't a Dive Bar, and owners and patrons of Dive Bars should rightfully be insulted by it being called such. Certain bars are good for certain things only! If you were to click on yelp categories, and say type in " Best Bar for a young lady looking to be raped in" or " Best bar to get shot while standing in front of the urinal while a coke deal goes bad" this place woulda gotten 5 stars
Review Source:We were driving through Petaluma on our way up to Bodega Bay and decided to pit stop to have a drink and go pee. Infusions was the first place we saw with convenient parking, so we declared "Infusions it is!"
It was about 7 pm on a Friday night. The sun had not fully set yet and already Infusions has a big dude standing outside and music blasting. This seemed a little strange because Petaluma has this very small, quiet town feel to it. Not to say they don't have plenty of bars - cause they do - but club music at 7 pm just seemed out of place.
I walk up and am about to pee my pants after a 2 hour car ride with terrible construction traffic in Fairfield. I can see inside through the open doors and windows that there is NO ONE in there. I am not being hyperbolic here either - there was literally NO ONE there. I didn't even see a bartender. But what is really crazy is that the "bouncer" outside told me there was a $10 cover fee!?!?! FOR WHAT!?!?!
I live in Sacramento, and we like to think of ourselves as the Nor Cal Kings of clubs that try too hard and mysterious cover charges to get into places that should be paying YOU instead of vice versa, but Infusions of Petaluma took it to another level. You are going to charge me to go in your vacant bar that is playing the club mix of "Birthday Sex" and buy your overpriced alcohol? No thanks.
After he told me that the cover charge was not waivable, even if we just wanted to have one drink, I stormed past him and said "Well, I cannot hold this any longer so deal." We ended up asking one of the locals where the good dives were and found Gale's - Â a pretty sweet pool hall with a neon sign and Concrete Blonde "Joey" on the jukey...good stuff.
Way too over the top for this area, this place is either dead or hopping, and believe me, when it is hopping they capitalize big time. I guess you'd have to do that to make rent when it is so dead the other 99% of the time. The drinks are pretentious and over-priced. I'd look elsewhere if you want a decent bar.
Review Source:People can say what they want about this bar, but every holiday it's packed so they must keep coming back. The prices of drinks are decent and about what's expected, but if you compare them to the dive bars within a two mile radius they're going to look expensive. When there's no one at this bar I'm pumped and by the time I get my drink its started to fill up. You can get ridiculously dressed up or extremely casual (they used to have a dress code but revoked it) and still feel comfortable. Lighting is nice with lots of lounge seats. This is the only place I'll actually order a cocktail because the bartenders def know what they're doing. Anywhere else I'll order a beer or A-typical vodka cran but this place I can get a yummy black cherry lemon drop or gin and tonic and the guys don't stinge you on the booze.
Some of the bouncers have serious ego problems but you get past that after the five minute long stare down of your more than legal I.D. The bar isn't perfect, I think I could DJ better than some of the guys they get.... I mean Its gettin hot in hur how old is that friggin song? If this bar were anywhere but Petaluma it would be a hit. It's nice to have a more "posh" option in a town to drown your sorrows.
An extra star for having the best, cleanest bathrooms in town.
This bar is trying to be something its not. They're trying for SF, NY chic and they're missing the mark by a mile. Its Petaluma people, get a clue. The drinks are WAY overpriced and weak. The music is way too loud and the DJs train wreck everything they toss out. Â go across the street to Fin Bar. much more fun!
Review Source:it looked cool... although kinda empty... Â i'd remembered seeing this place while walking around downtown another time... so, date and i go in to check it out. Â very hip looking... very hot, like the ac didn't work. Â very empty... thought that was kinda odd... everyone was leaving, except us. Â then they hung the rainbow flag... aha... time for the heterosexuals to leave... nothing against gays getting together... just not where i want to be with my date at that particular moment. Â The drinks were expensive and he got some razz up thing that was way to sweet... which says a lot coming from me, who loves sweet girly drinks.
Review Source:This is Petaluma's answer to New York Chic.
And so, when you look to the "World's Egg Basket" to pull off a classy club, this is what you get.
Overpriced drinks, under-dressed hoochies and the shortest Boys I have ever seen all in one room.
That's part I played last night, short dress, high heels and m' hot pink bra were out on the town to trash it up.
What draws me to such places? I feel totally comfortable there, I can be crazy and not worry 'etall.
I can't  believe this place is still open.
Their music is so loud my head throbs, it is impossible to have a comfortable conversation at the bar.
If i could give out an award for all time collection of WORST DJ's ever, i would toss it their way. Is this a DJ-in-training club?
Nice interior, but this wears off quickly.
i encourage you to do your own google search for "Gang fight petaluma infusions bar".
interesting hmm??
Oh how I loathe this place. Â Somehow or another I end up getting drug here. Â It looks nice inside, at the start of the night at least. Â Kinda like a fancy bar in fact.
Then it starts getting ghetto around 10pm. Â The crew with neck tattoos shows up and the gansta rap is LOUD. Â Drinks ain't cheap either. Â Not my bag, but maybe ok on a weeknight?
