Award winning cocktails and beautiful design
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Fern Bar is a deluxe eatery, cocktail bar, and wedding reception venue in Sebastopol, CA. Located in the industrial-chic Barlow mall, this trendy venue boasts tranquil settings for your wedding celebration.
In 2018, restaurant owner Natalie Goble and head chef Joe Zobel had the idea for a one-of-a-kind cocktail bar in The Barlow, a community centerpiece of Sebastopol. Together with Gia Baiocchi, founder of plant-based drink company The Nectary, and skilled manager Sam Levy, they established this unique business. Fern Bar has a relaxing and revitalizing atmosphere, with abundant plant decor and an airy feel. One of the highlights of this venue is the extensive cocktail menu featuring creative concoctions made with premium spirits and a local flair.
Fern Bar is ideal for small wedding celebrations, with multiple spaces to gather, drink delicious cocktails, and dine on tasty cuisine. The restaurant can accommodate up to 100 of your guests, who can mingle throughout the beautiful rooms. The Atrium features earthy decor, with skylights and expansive windows allowing for great natural lighting. The Lounge is a smaller room with lush green wall motifs, hanging plant baskets and leather couches coming together to create a cozy atmosphere. The bar area is also open and expansive, allowing guests to move around freely and enjoy the day, and there is dedicated space for your wedding entertainment. Your wedding menu is customizable and boasts refined, globally-inspired cuisine. Whether you’re looking for Asian fusion or American classics, the renowned kitchen crew will delight your taste buds. Of course, cocktails will be a highlight of the big day, with so many flavors and combinations to sample. At Fern Bar, your wedding celebration will go off without a hitch.

The umami bomb was delicious! I haven’t seen an entree like this anywhere else. Flavorful with a variety of textures. Clearly marked vegan options

We stopped in just for drinks after hearing great things about the cocktails here and they totally delivered. The drink list is super creative and they even had slushies (I’m a total sucker for a frozen cocktail). It was delicious 😋

s spot-on, and I absolutely loved the retro 70s fern-bar vibes inside—lush plants, warm lighting, and a fun throwback charm. Looking forward to coming back next time we’re in the area.

Food was very good. Soul was a great server and had some perfect suggestions. The num nums with szechuan pepper is really interesting. The pepper is not hot but numbing. Give it a try!

Beautiful place! We were so excited to try the Fern bar. The food was excellent. We were disappointed in the service. Our server was very short with us. No personal touch at all. Also we were not familiar with how different the cocktails are. F...

Lovely vintage restaurant but unfortunately the food was not that great. One dish we ordered came with "dosa", but it was actually burnt crispbread. The fried chicken was floury with no flavor and the mushi-pan chocolate cake was like tasteless...
cookie dough. Cocktails were nice and the burger was decent. The side salad and fries were the best overall.
