A must stop for any beer lover. Amazing selection of brews on tap from Russian River, Altamont and other top breweries while spinning vinyl records on classic hi-fi gear. This is one of my favorite tap rooms in CA.

●They spin great music

Wide selection of beers on tap! Relaxed and fun atmosphere.
I have gone here twice and loved my experience. The music on vinyl is unique and the bartenders are quite the djays, jk but they have great taste in music. Tasted my first Pliny here! 🍻 Definitely a must stop when in town.

No tastes, no flights, bad vibes… decent beer choices but overall not worth it. Much better places around.

This is a cool social gathering place. Great vibes and they have some pinball machines.
Plan to eat before or after as it's only drinks here.
Best beer selection in the county. Just a fact... :D I wish they had more space and an outdoor area though. Absolutely must check them out if you like beer!
Incredible draft selection. To go is expensive but in line with what others have charged that I've found. Dogs are no longer allowed in the tap room but there is a small outdoor area where you can have them and drink a beer. The bartender today is super interesting. Some may call him rude or abrasive but I think he's just super dry and straightforward. They crank the vinyl so expect a vibe. This isn't a dark and quiet corner to drink. Awesome spot. I'll come back.
Rather loud but the best selection of beers around.

Good vibes. Good music .
Came in tonight for the first time with family from out of town and the bartender was so bothered by our presence. We know beer and didn’t ask questions and knew what we wanted but met with such agitation by the dude. Why are you mad we are spending money on your beer and money on your games? Just weird and unfriendly and we def won’t be back which is a bummer you had some of our favs! Pliny the elder and younger! You aren’t too cool to serve people Who are different from you.
36+ beers on tap. Turntable music, awesome pinball (Simpsons, Iron Maiden, Godzilla, Jaws and more.
Fantastic beer selection, fast friendly service, and pinball.

Incredible rotating selection of many varieties of beer, including local, international, nitro, and rare finds. Chill environment and staff.
