Washoe House

I've passed this place for years going to Bodega. Finally stopped and now I always will stop and have some drinks and great food. Dane the bartender was super cool. Killer vibe in a Saturday night.

This is very unique location to visit. Full of history and intriguing accessories. I enjoyed just stopping by and service was good as well. Not for everyday visit but definitely worth checking out) .

Cool historic old bar / restaurant that's got a great vibe, good food and friendly staff. Eaten here a few times now and the food is consistently good with generous portions. The chicken Marsala and lemon herb chicken might be my favorites but the stew with polenta and burger, and the pork chop are all good choices. There's the bar side and then also a dining side. Fun to imagine that this place has been around for like 150 years or something now.

This is a very down home. Ruralish place with great basic American food. Great drinks. Good service. The atmosphere is the kind where there are a lot more men than women there. Although a few families. It's a great vibe, but I certainly wouldn't start talking politics with anyone. Love it!

If you are passing through on the 101, do yourself a favor and take the beautiful drive past idyllic California rural land and stop by this historic landmark for a great meal and a down to earth atmosphere. I ordered the NY steak sandwich for lunch... Yum!

What a great place! Food was really good. Steak fries are addictive! The tomatoes/lettuce on the burger were fresh. Other party had the French Dip and enjoyed it. Lots of locals. Bar was full of truckers and construction guys. Will certainly be back.

I had a wonderful ribeye and my husband had the prime beef a couple of nights ago. The food we had was great and my steak and his prime rib were cooked perfectly and were delicious. It was a little noisy, we were with a large group and conversation was a little difficult, perhaps it was because the live music had started. But, with the great food and dancing what else could anyone need to celebrate a birthday. They also do a really great breakfast, I especially love their chicken fried steak.

I eat there regularly, always order the prime rib which I split with whomever I'm with. Delicious food always fast and friendly service and a very unique environment. Love all the money stuck to the ceiling! 😁

It was a little chilly BUT, that may have been because we're next to the fireplace. Food is to be experienced due that it was soooooo good‼Friendly staff but need to leave people alone When they're eating. That's just my preference though, don't take it personally.
The bartender is highly experienced & recommended, {drink responsible ofcoarse}, & very good at making difficult drinks or unheard of types.
A MUST GO TO a/o put into "Want To Go" in Google Maps & Plans whether it be week or weekend ‼‼
PS. I had the Rib-eye cooked at, Med. Well & didn't see this plate on the choices below. 😋🔥💯🔥😋

I am a tourist from Edmonds, WA.
Dropped into bar yesterday....hadn't been there in 10+ years.
The money all over is a total hoot!
The lovely bartendress was fun!

Heading back to the California Foothills after spending a few days in Bodega bay. We were really hungry and looking for some breakfast. We happen to see the Washoe house right on the side of the road. The reviews were pretty poor but upon entering we are greeted by a nice older gentleman behind the bar and when we sat we were immediately greeted by our waitress who took drink orders.

The atmosphere is a dive bar but the tables were clean as well as the silverware and the service was polite, prompt and friendly.

I ordered eggs sausage and Country potatoes, my wife ordered the breakfast burrito with a side of hash browns and my daughter ordered the pancake egg and bacon. All were cooked perfectly. Everything came out hot and fresh. We were so thrilled with this experience we will absolutely make it a ritual when we're turning home from the coast. Can't say enough good things about this little hole in the wall even the bathrooms were clean. Can't wait to go again.

The building is a landmark and should be visited by anyone in the area for an extended stay. It truly gives you a 19th century feel and makes you feel as if you stepped back in time. Food is pretty good. Nice place to get a drink as well

We are longtime customers of the very unique Washoe House, and it's a real treat whenever we are in the area and can have brunch, lunch or dinner there. The food and drink are amazing: especially the fried chicken, hamburger and BBQ'd oysters. The service is always great (shout-out to C.T.!), and the atmosphere is heavy with both historical accents and quirkiness.

Drinks under bills. This is one of the most unique bar I've ever seen. We were served biscuits and cheese slices once we sat down. Service was a bit slow but worth the wait. Cheaper beers than other bars.

What a fun place. The food was perfect. The service was great. Price was great for the amount of food you get. Will definitely be coming back.

Authentic roadhouse continuously in business since 1859! Excellent food and service. Frequented by locals so you know it isn’t a tourist trap. Definitely go, you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great lunch in a friendly place. The food was solid and the drinks were strong :)

Super cute, friendly service, reasonable prices. Our food was very good!

From the moment we walked in, until the moment we walked out, we loved everything. Our server, Becky, knew the menu like the back of her hand. When we told her it was our first time to Washoe House, she told us about its history and even got the key to show us upstairs.
The bathrooms were clean and spacious but still maintained the old building charm.
The food was great! The Western Chicken Soup was freshly made the same day. The burgers were big, juicy and flavorful. Extra avocado on the burgers was generous; not just a little slice, but probably half an avocado.
During the short wait for food, we were entertained with looking at all the unique things tacked to the ceiling.
Washoe House is a real treasure. Definitely a place we'll take company next time we're in the area.

Historic and charming, this roadhouse is one of the oldest in California. Big portions on the food and generous pours at the bar, this is quintessential old school all around. And more paper money tacked to the ceiling than any place I've ever seen. Gotta be 10 grand worth!
