One of the only things West of the infamous San Andreas fault, clinging to the edge of the North American continent, is the little township of Bolinas. The well-hidden community is home to an enclave of artists, writers, musicians, farmers, fishermen and other colorful characters.
Nestled at the heart of this unique community is Smiley’s Schooner Saloon, in continual operation in the same stalwart and storied building since 1851.
LIVE MUSIC EVERY FRIDAYS & SATURDAY NIGHTS AND MORE! From indie rock to experimental hip hop; from blue grass to Balkan-fusion, we host excellent local, regional and touring acts.
PLUS, every Monday Epicenter Soundsystem Reggae, Wednesdays Karaoke, and Sunday Open Mic Nights.
West Marin offers the finest in locally sourced cuisine. From our neighbors next door at the Coast Cafe to our friends up the way at Marshall Store, there is so much to enjoy.
Hiking, biking, horseback riding, bird watching, stand-up paddling, fishing, beach combing, site-seeing, live music, local artists, community events and so much more.
We have an ever-changing variety of beers on tap, signature cocktails, rare small batch liquors, and your old favorites.
Cozy, rustic relaxed rooms right in the middle of the fun and just steps to the ocean.
West Marin and Smiley’s have a rich, fascinating history. Visit our neighbors across the street at the Bolinas Museum to enjoy photos, press, and artifacts.
