About The Fink

Located in the beautifully transformed historic boathouse of The Napa River Inn, The Fink has established itself as a premier destination for cocktail enthusiasts in Napa Valley. The atmosphere blends the charm of a classic speakeasy with the vibrant energy of a local community hub, led by well-known local hospitality veteran Judd Finkelstein. Whether you are looking for a sophisticated pre-dinner drink or a late-night gathering spot, the venue offers a welcoming and polished environment. The bar program is impressively diverse, featuring house-original concoctions alongside a deep menu of global classics ranging from tropical Tiki-inspired grogs to New Orleans and New York staples. To complement the drinks, the kitchen serves high-quality small bites like Hawaiian-style fried chicken and savory Sicilian pizza slices. With a weekly lineup of live music and unique events like "FINKO" bingo, it serves as a cultural anchor for downtown Napa’s nightlife.

"Stopped by here for a pre-dinner drink. Super cool vibe (almost like a speakeasy). Located in the heart of downtown Napa. It was steps away from Morimoto (highly recommend this spot for dinner). Do make reservations in advance. Their menu has pages of house cocktails. Service is absolutely fabulous. I got the Mocha Milk Punch and subbed the Burbon out for Tito’s vodka. It was 🔥"
