The Fink is the live-music venue at the base of Napa Opera House on Main Street, running the informal music bar that anchors the city's arts district. The programming ranges from local jazz nights to indie bands, and the room fills on Opera House show nights.
TipCheck the Napa Opera House calendar (napaoperahouse.com) before going: show nights make The Fink busier and more animated than quiet weeknights.
The rooftop bar at the Archer Hotel runs until 23:00 on weekends, making it the most festive elevated drinking location in downtown Napa. The California wine and cocktail programme is solid, and the views over First Street and the mountains are the real draw on a clear evening.
TipArrive at 18:00-19:00 for the golden-hour light. After dark the rooftop remains animated but the view is the city lights rather than the mountain backdrop.
