While the rest of the valley tends to get sleepy after dinner, Downtown Napa has a vibrant nightlife for visitors. If you’re a night owl looking to discover more food, wine, music and entertainment, here are a few of our favorite spots.
Late Night Eats
Open till midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, 1313 Main is an upscale downtown restaurant with an award-winning wine cellar. Sip a glass of wine to top of your night while enjoying a few bites of carefully crafted California cuisine from a talented executive chef.
If you’re feeling a little bolder, try Bounty Hunter Wine Bar & Smokin’ BBQ for some late-night barbecue and a big glass of cab (or maybe a whiskey flight). This restaurant is a local favorite offering a casual, fun spot to hang out after hours. You can go with some small plates to accompany your drink, or go big with a mouthwatering barbecue platter.

If you’ve had your fill of wine (if that is even possible), change up your taste buds with some hops from Napa Palisades. Located on the Napa River, the Napa Palisades offers craft beer, farm to face pub-style food, and plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sporting event.
