Best Live Music Restaurants in Novato

An SF classic - unbeatable views & history. Fantastic live band & dancing.

Outstanding experience -- music, ambiance, service, food. Mr. Tipples is perfect venue for live jazz.

Finally a top notch experience. I’ve been there many times before with tourists and others but this was a date, a real date. The Mai Tais were delicious as was the poke appetizer. Both the basil chicken and salmon were very good, the portion size generous. The entertainment was old time tiki bar. The service was efficient, professional and friendly. The setting? There’s only one Tonga Room, the one that we old time San Franciscans can appreciate.

Great jazz club and restaurant with two stories. We had a table for two next to a large group of young people by the piano and base player so the sound level was loud. After the large group left we could hear each other talk and the music much better. The service was impeccable. The food was very good . The entrance is located down an alley. The young people were dressed very casually but everyone else was dressed up a little. Over all it was a great experience.

We love The Boardroom for their cozy, clubby, hidden "speakeasy" atmosphere with a live piano & a full bar. It's a small menu with specials and we've found them to be incredibly tasty in all categories! Because of the room size and the music, the noise level is high. In many places we'd not return, but it's acceptable and "intimate" in The Boardroom. It's a place we will continue to return when we seek a special dining experience. They even acknowledged our anniversary. If you're in Novato and want a new experience, try The Boardroom. Missy was our attentive server and helped with our choices! Thank you!
