A great place for artists to hangout. An eclectic mix of music and unique take on a wine bar. They have a wine here called Parador which you can order in many vintages & styles, in my opinion one of Napa's best kept secrets on value for the price. The staff is always happy to see you & makes it a great time. Looking forward to the next time!

Came in a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. Enjoyed some margaritas and a DJ spinning some jams. We enjoyed ourselves and appreciated the table seating they had available for those who wanted to sit down and chill. If you're ever looking for some vinyl to purchase while sipping on some drinks this is a cool spot in Napa!

In town for BottleRock and we saw a few posters around promoting brunch at Folklore... Saturday morning we decided to roll on through and check it out and I am so glad we did!!!! Don't know what I was expecting but walking in and seeing half a record store split with a nice old school dark wood style seating and full bar was a happy surprise! They were playing great music!! The staff was super friendly. A wine list that went on for miles. Food was limited but everything on the one page food menu looked delicious. We got the quiche and French ham sandwhich. The fresh potato chips with the sandwhich were so good, I highly recommend asking for the Dijon mustard. I would for sure come back here next time I visit Napa. They have a drag show tomorrow (Sunday) and it seems like it might be a regular thing.

Stopped in for some cocktails and this place was perfect. They had a million different delicious and unique drinks on their menu, also offer food but we did not order any since we were attending meat carnival later that night. Corpse reviver was my absolute favorite cocktail I tried, so citrusy and the perfect amount of alcohol flavor in my opinion. Bartender was lovely. A women (possibly owner or manager) asked if we'd like a small snack and we said yes since we were a teeny bit hungry, she brought us some beautiful bread with fresh ricotta and luxurious olive oil drizzled over top and wow what a perfect little complimentary appetizer! The vinyl section was great to browse through and they had someone in the dj booth playing records. Very cool vibe. Would return.

A pretty cool spot - cocktails, food, vinyl records, books, and more! We stopped in before a show at the Uptown Theater down the block and snagged a table. Lots of regulars here, but a good percentage of apparent first timers as well. We settled into some cocktails (wine and a whiskey sour) and ordered some dessert (the burnt miso cake). Even though it was busy, service was fast and efficient. Our empty wine glass disappeared sometime during processing of our check (we never saw the pickup) and we had multiple people check on us to see if we needed anything else or if we were missing anything. Just a cool spot!

What a vibe! It's a cafe and record store in one, with tall ceilings that carry dynamic sounds of music throughout the space. We stopped by for brunch on a Saturday, and the menu was refreshingly eclectic, ranging from vegan or pork Pozole Verde, to Jambon Beurre, two types of quiche, tartine, skillets. And if you're a fan of a lengthy drink list, and specialty cocktails, you will hit the jackpot here. There's bar seating and about 13 tables. And tomorrow, Sunday, they have a drag brunch (gasp!). Very exciting. Great music, tasty food, superb cocktails. Check it out. Oh and of course don't forget to go home with at least one record from their stellar collection.

Cute spot in Napa! We came in for dinner and drinks, the cheese and charcuterie was the winner YUM, but so expensive. Part of the store is a vinyl shop, very cool. But with that being said the music was too loud, we couldn't hear each other at the table, definitely more of a quick drink, and peruse some vinyls type of place, not somewhere I'd try to hang out over dinner.

Folklore is a place you must experience! This is my first visit and a great day, well spent with my daughter, downtown Napa! The vibe here is amazing as is the service! The bartenders offer the best service and we feel at home here! EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE! Nowhere else can you browse a fine collection of music albums and perhaps make a purchase too and then go sitdown at the bar or table and sip on a fine cocktail or two! We met the owner, Faith, and she's very warm, compassionate, and welcoming! Thank you very much for the wonderful experience! We will be back again soon!

Wouldn't It Be Nice if Downtown Napa had a great record shop?It does!A fun fun fun record shop & bar/cafe. Spacious, set up aesthetically but also practical for flipping through the racks of vinyl. Place has good vibrations that makes you want to keep looking & looking - and hey if you need a breather have a cocktail or a coffee, or both! A brilliant addition to downtown Napa.

I can't believe this place has no reviews on here.Where to begin? Who doesn't love a record store/bar/cafe? There is always vinyl playing, records run the gamut from grunge to motown to modern pop to metal and more. They have amazing cocktails, solid wine and beer list, and delicious food options. The duck rilette with brandied currants and jambon beurre came with a generous amount crispy, crusty french bread. Whoever dreamt up this place has great taste. What a great vibe! Everyone is so nice as well. Come as you are.
