SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA
is located within the county of Marin, and it's somewhat of a mid- to large-sized city in the San Francisco area based on its population of just about 56,000. One of our favorite things about San Rafael is the wide array of beautiful parks, including China Camp State Park, McNear's Beach Park, and all the smaller neighborhood parks are very nice too. Planning to visit the 94901, 94903, 94904, 94912, 94913, 94914, and 94915 zip codes for play or for work? Make a note of a few of these great bars and restaurants so you'll know where to dine and drink while you're there!

♦ II Davide Restaurant ♦
II Davide Restaurant has so much going for it, from delicious food and inexpensive lunches, to an atmosphere that's hard to top, and it's also just so relaxing and cool. One of the reasons that we're so hooked on this restaurant is the pleasing decor, but the food is of course the deciding factor. The Tuscan food is just out of this world, with amazing lamb crespelle, due ravioli, fresh risotto, crisp salads... It's all just as good as it can possibly get. 901 A Street is the location of II Davide Restaurant, and we definitely recommend that you pay them a visit when you're here!
♦ Vin Antico ♦
San Rafael has a lot of good restaurants in and around it, but one of our absolute favorites is Vin Antico. It's got one o the most pleasant atmospheres of all the places we've visited in the area, and we've never had anything but a relaxing and calming dining experience here! The food at this restaurant is just out of this world, maybe a little bit higher priced than some would prefer, but it's so good that very few would really mind the premium prices! You'll be able to locate Vin Antico at 881 4th Street. Don't miss this one!
♦ Flatiron Saloon ♦
In all our years of visiting bars in the San Rafael area, Flatiron Saloon has worked the hardest to impress us. It's a cool sports bar and brewery with an old fashioned slant that we really enjoy! It's one of the most relaxed and laid back bars that we've been to. The beer is really great with lots of choices on tap, and at a place that puts so much effort into making their customers feel good, it's no surprise that they're always packed with both regular customers and new faces! You'll be able to locate Flatiron Saloon at 724 B Street. One of our highest recommendations!
♦ The Mayflower Pub ♦
One of the coolest places to visit in the San Rafael area is The Mayflower Pub with its awesome Turor style decor and old fashioned charm.

♦ Lighthouse Diner ♦
Lighthouse Diner is one of the most charming little diners that we have had the pleasure of encountering in the San Rafael area. Everything here is fresh, prepared with plenty of flavor, and served piping hot and delicious. They've got a great wine list here, but you have to ask for it. Seems like the best kept secret in the house. Breakfast is awesome here and lunches and dinners are great too. You can find Lighthouse Diner conveniently on Court Street between 4th Street and 5th Avenue. So great!
