About this place The Main Bar at R3 Hotel

The Main Bar is the bar at the R3 Hotel on 4th Street in Guerneville, one of the Russian River resort's long-running gay hangouts. It is a dedicated LGBTQ+ venue. Most of the action happens around the pool on summer weekends, when the afternoon crowd from the river and out-of-towners from San Francisco fill the place. Hotel guests and day visitors both use it. Guerneville is small, and the R3 sits right in the middle of town, a short walk from the other gay bars on Main Street. Weekdays and winter are much quieter. During big themed weekends such as Lazy Bear, expect crowds and possibly entry charges.

This was a nice little bar nestled in the redwoods. Drinks were overflowing and the service was top notch. They recently partnered with a wonderful restaurant called Baked on the River. The restaurant is run by Chef Helena & the food is outstanding. She offers weekly specials. We had a 3 course meal for $25. I would highly recommend both of these places to anyone, regardless of gender.
