The Best Sausalito Bars and Restaurants for Singles to Meet New People
Even in this age of computer dating and social networks it isn't easy to meet new people when you're single, especially if you're looking to date someone who doesn't work with you and who lives nearby.
Here's our editors' list of the restaurants and bars that we think offer the best opportunities for singles to meet new people in Sausalito. In this Top Ten we're disregarding the quality of the cuisine (although it may be excellent), and only rating the social potential of the place.
We argued about this list a lot, but the #1 position in this list was easy to determine. Seahorse has more organized dance events, dance lessons and other social activities than any other restaurant in town. Each of the places below has a different vibe, so experiment to find what fits your personality.
| Rank | Name | Comments |
| 1 | Seahorse | Many scheduled events |
| 2 | No Name Bar | Nightly music |
| 3 | Osteria Divino | Music most nights |
| 4 | Wellington's Wine Bar | Sophisticated crowd |
| 5 | Fred's Coffee Shop | You share large tables |
| 6 | Farley Bar | Sophisticated crowd |
| 7 | Smitty's | Long-time local crowd |
| 8 | Taste of Rome | Coffee, some music |
| 9 | Starbucks | Coffee Shop |
| 10T | Poggio & Bar Bocce | Have classy bars |
Also Recommended by Editors and Readers: Saylor's Restaurant and Bar (which a number of locals were shocked we had left off this list), Buckeye Roadhouse's bar, Plate Shop's bar, Horizons' bar.
Note: We only cover restaurants and bars here, but the Sausalito Parks and Rec Department has many programs that are also ideal places for singles to meet. The Sausalito Library also holds classes and events. You can also check our Table of Contents at the right for local volunteer organizations like the Sausalito Historical Society and the Sausalito Art Festival, which are wonderful places to meet people who share your interests.
Don't see a name you remember? Like Zack's, the undisputed king of singles places in Sausalito in the 1970's, it may be on our List of Restaurants That Have Closed or Changed Their Names.
