Ausiello’s 5th Street Grill

Ausiello’s 5th Street Grill has been a cornerstone of Santa Rosa’s dining scene for years, combining the energy of a classic sports bar with elevated American comfort food that keeps both locals and Wine Country visitors coming back. This isn’t your average sports bar – while the games play on multiple screens, the kitchen takes pride in crafting dishes that go well beyond typical bar fare, making it a standout destination in downtown Santa Rosa.

The menu showcases American classics with a twist, featuring hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, and gourmet burgers that have earned a devoted following. Their fish and chips use locally-sourced rockfish with a perfectly crispy beer batter, while the tri-tip sandwich pays homage to Santa Rosa’s barbecue traditions. The full bar complements the food with craft cocktails, local Sonoma County wines, and an impressive selection of craft beers on tap.
