    I love the Old Hippies.
    As for Dirty Old Men... well at my age, I'm just grateful for the attention!

    not much to say, grabbed one drink after eating dinner across the street, not much of a crowd or much going on so I hit the road as it wasnt the right vibe for me

    Went here for some live music. They dont turn off the tvs or close the pooltable to its not the best live-muisc venue. Bartender wasnt too stellar either.

    Drinks are over priced.... Sometimes they get some decent bands on the weekends.

    Cool to kick it with a friend or two, they have some bizzare bands that play there but its a cool spot to get a drink before the late night hours. Past like 1030 its a lot of old people wearing too tight of clothes and trying to rekindle their youth.

    You know that moment where Axl Rose asks: YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?!  YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE, BABY, AND YOU'RE GONNA DIIIIIIIIE."  That's what it's like walking into Tradewinds.  At 4:30 p.m. on a Thursday.

    I just went in to Tradewinds and wow has it changed! New pool tables a great selection of craft beers. The place is spotless. They serve food now from Brixx pizza right next door. They had great live bands so u can eat drink dance and listen to live music love it!!!  I like the patio too, catch some rays while you people watch!

    Tradewinds is like a Ford Pinto.

    It will get you where you need to go - maybe - but it sure as HELL won't be in style.

    It's the epitome of Dirty Old Man Bar, and you WILL have the attention of every one of those Old Men, hand's down.

    I had a half hour conversation on the contruction of my recycled purse with one of them, good times people. Good times.

    It's small, it's dark, it's nitty and it's gritty. Perhaps that's why I don't at all mind swingin those doors to sit on a stool at the baaa (That's Boston for Bar).

    Its Cotati people, what do you expect?

    Tradewinds is the only bar that offers live music on a pretty nightly basis. I wouldn't say the drinks are stellar, but just stick with beer. They serve Mirror Pond, which hardly anyone does.

    The place is pretty crowded when there is music. Its a tiny spot so a few groups makes it feel crowded. There are two pool tables, but really only one because the band also takes the other one with their stuff.

    Its really a low key vibe, where the college kids don't tend to go. So I like it.

    Best place to go in Cotati with a group of friends, pool tables, an ok Juke Box and really really good service. Could really do with a couple of hard rock bands once in a while.

    Fun Place.

    This is a small little bar in Cotati. For a small little bar, everyone who comes through or works there is very pleasant. If you are shy, I would stay away from here because everyone is instantly your best friend.

    They have live music almost every night, which is very nice, but it is usually way too loud for how small of a place it is.

    There are pool tables, and a few seated tables inside and out.

    On mondays they make dinner, and the gentleman sure knows what he is doing in the kitchen!

    Drinks are goods too, minus the mojitos.

    Tradewinds has always surprised me. It is one of the only places in downtown Cotati that has any music other than top 40 pop bullshit. I've seen some pretty good bands play down here. It is a bit hit or miss, but relative to the rest of the Cotati bars, this is likely my favorite. If you're lucky enough to go in when they're serving food, make sure that you order some. I ordered some chicken parmesan one night that was pretty dang good and had left overs that came in especially handy when I got the drunchies (drunk munchies.) I also enjoy the fact that I live less than a quarter mile from this place. I've been tiring of the Cotati scene for a while, but if you find yourself out on Thursday night in Cotati, stop by and drink some whiskey with me.

    I'm relatively neutral when it comes to this place, so let me break it down.

    Good things:
    Pool table(s?)
    Outdoor patio seating
    Happy Hour until 9!

    Bad things:
    The aforementioned hippies
    Beer selection is mediocre
    College crowd later in the evening

    Hit and Miss things:
    The live performers

    I think there's nothing wrong with hitting up the Happy Hour specials before 9 and then heading out before the crawl crowd gets going in full-gear. Also, apparently I rubbed a patron the wrong way so he spent 10 minutes talking about how I am "retarded" and "trite" - and then decided to apologize for saying mean things and buy me and my friends a round.  It keeps things interesting; I can't complain.

    Friendly bartender(s), but like all the other bars on the Crawl, it's a bar version of a long, depressing sigh.

    My opinion is right in-line  with Ryan M.

    I am an old hippie, but the crowd here ain't my peeps.

    Place is packed with low income,  poorly dressed,  blue collar hippies.  

    I visited the Tradewinds last night to see some friends play jam band noise.  While mostly everyone was well behaved, it is pitiful to see several stumbling drunk 60 year old long-hair guys in public.

    Downtown Cotati, Sonoma County is a living museum of 1971 white trash culture.  The Tradewinds bar is this "museum's" ugly underbelly exhibit.

    Am I the first reviewer?  It appears that I am.  

    So....

    Do you like hippies?
    Do you like old hippies?
    Do you like old hippies dancing to jam bands?

    Then you'll love the this bar.
