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!!! Â I like the patio too, catch some rays while you people watch!
Review Source: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.
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.
Review Source: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. Â It keeps things interesting; I can't complain.
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, Â poorly dressed, Â blue collar hippies. Â
I visited the Tradewinds last night to see some friends play jam band noise. Â 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. Â The Tradewinds bar is this "museum's" ugly underbelly exhibit.
