Live Music in Bodega Bay!

You can now hear live music three days a week in Bodega Bay. Yes sir, this is a happenin’ place! Bluewater Bistro just expanded their live music to two nights a week, and Gourmet Au Bay offers live music on Sunday afternoons.

Bluewater Bistro is the restaurant located in the Bodega Harbour neighborhood. Open to the public and affiliated with the popular New Links at Bodega Harbour golf course, they have gorgeous ocean views from the restaurant on the main floor. The Fireside Lounge upstairs offers even more spectacular views of Bodega Bay, Doran beach, the golf course, and sunsets over Bodega Head. They also have a deck that overlooks the pool and views south to Tomales and Pt. Reyes.

Unfortunately our camera battery died, so we had to shoot some of these images with a camera phone. Apologies for the poor quality.

The food is excellent, they call it “seaside and wine country cuisine.” On a recent visit, my husband had the Wild Coho Salmon with dried mushroom and panko crust, with garlic mashed potatoes, grilled zucchini, arugula cream sauce and grape and cucumber relish; I had the Grilled Vegetable Platter with grilled artichoke, zucchini, eggplant, red pepper and asparagus with rainbow chard, curried quinoa, balsamic syrup and caper, tomato and roasted garlic salsa; and our daughter had her favorite, the Grilled Filet Mignon with roasted fingerling potatoes, rainbow chard, grilled asparagus and artichoke bottom with red wine demi glace and sauce béarnaise. They also offer simpler fare and I often order their burger (outstanding!) or the Chicken Caesar Salad.

But back to the music. The Bluewater Bistro now offers live music on Thursday and Friday evenings. Set up in the Fireside Lounge, you can also hear it down in the restaurant. Thursday night music is 5:00-8:00 p.m. and includes martini specials. “Fireside Fridays” feature complimentary wine tasting 5:00-6:00 p.m. and music 6:00-8:00 p.m.
 Admission is free and all ages are welcome.


We recently enjoyed the lovely acoustic guitar and vocals of Ali Weiss.
She performed cover songs as well as original music.


We also had fun tasting wine selections from Firestone Vineyard
and Curtis Winery. Free wine tastings will be offered by different wineries each week.
