Bounty Hunter is a great little locals place in Napa. The wine selection is excellent and the servers are very knowledgeable and helpful with it. The food is also very tasty.

Tania Martinez

The beer can chicken is a must, but if you think is too much you can order the pulled beer can chicken sandwich , it's yummie. The banana pudding cake is delicious!!!

Brandon Cain

Good BBQ for being in the west. Great service and atmosphere. Ribs are the way to go!

Zach Steiner

The pork was fantastic and ribs had some of the best texture I've tried. Pimento cheese also excellent. Service was spotty in afternoon.

Hana Abushaaban

The beer chicken sandwich and burger were insane good. Fresh market salad . Love the candied pecans . Great recommendation for our drinks as well . Nailed it xx

Luke Ammann

Best lunch in NAPA. Pony Express you get a sandwich , side and soda . Pulled pork and baked beans ????

Anna Kaminova

Most delicious beef ribs I have ever tried paired with excellent wine (King's something). On the pic is a mix of everything.

BottleRock Napa Valley

One of the best wine bars in wine country , it’s also home to “killer BBQ ”. Not to be missed is the Beer Can Chicken , the house specialty .

Candid Cuisine

After all the wine drinking escapade, Bounty Hunter will make you sober again with their St. Louis style ribs !

Lori Tamura

We sat outside and had very good service along with the BBQ pulled pork sandwich was awesome . I had the coleslaw but wasn't impressed bc I'm from the south I like sweet coleslaw

This downtown spot is perfect for lunch , happy hour or late night ! Pop in for some BBQ and a flight of wine ... You won't regret it!

Dom

Dear lord get the BBQ platter . It should say for two people, but you're a champ, finish it

Flavinha O.

Michelle Skomal

Andrew the bartender was knowledgable and friendly . Atmosphere was lively and the bar was hopping. We didn't order food but it smelled delicious and looked great. The wine selection unbeatable. :)

Desi Capaz

Great place for exclusive wines and their pulled pork sandwich is not bad either.

Riona Logan

The pulled pork sandwich is really good and has a good amount of spice to it

Paul Smith

Great food, great service and great atmosphere!

Amy Widdowson

Stop whatever you are doing, go in and get the ribs and a glass of the $5 Brown bag red. Fuss-free deliciousness in an awesome vintage space.

Raquel Lucille

My advice is sit at a community table AND get the beer can chicken !

Alex

Try the Poetic Justice Cab with the ribs . They are both spectacular. Oh, and buy the Streamside Pinot Grigio by the case before they run out. It's a must have for the summer. Yes. Buy a CASE. :)

Kris Vera-Phillips

Try the BBQ Sampler Platter - #kvpinmybelly : Bounty's hot sauce rocks over pulled pork , beef and ribs . Happy Hour special !

Marshall St. Clair

Pulled pork , wood smoked beef brisket , St. Louis ribs , beer can chicken

SFGate Manager

All the wine goes with the signature item on the food menu - barbecue . It's among the best to be found.

Arthur♡♡♡

Arthur is full... Please try the sample plate. A little bit of all the meats. The food was great. Worth trying this place.

The Ford Store San Leandro

Get the Beer can Chicken and ask for Nicole she is the best foe service!!!

Ryan Keith

Try the CADE Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain by the glass. Pairs with pretty much everything on their menu.

christina leigh morgan

Homemade BBQ flights

Bernard Grenier

BBQ chicken with the beer can is a must

Chris Messina

Buy retail , not from the restaurant menu, to avoid paying a service premium. If you buy retail something you've tasted, you'll save 10% at checkout. ????

Garry DeLucia

Nice small little local hangout . Trying the paulaner hefe!

Sasha Tkachenko

The bbq platter is not so good, it looks like they put there everything left from yesterday supper. Better take few different items.
