The biscuits and gravy by Katz Brunch is absolutely amazing and highly recommended and the hospitality and smiles by Katz made my day

Music venue. There's a pretty good range of bands that we've seen there. Most of the time there's a $10 cover charge. FYI beer and wine only.

You'll love this place if your a smoker. The cigarette smoke was everywhere. It's ridiculous. I'm sure they are breaking some laws with letting people smoke right in front of the doors which are opened and there's no way to escape the asphyxiation! Not going back. Toxic!!

Worst. Service. Ever. Bartender was a complete bitch. Walked on after dinner and she couldn't attempt to accommodate our for up. Stay away.

Stumbled in by accident- saw a cool crowd out front & ordered a Guinness.As a solo traveler in a posh town, I was feeling odd, but Kendall & Bella welcomed me like a local. Live music 3 times a week!

Frequent live grassroot bands with an integrated genre with blends of upbeat classic, pop and reggae music, with an old school undertone reminiscent of the Grateful Dead. Always a congenial crowd, non-discriminating in patron with a casual tropical like indoor meets outdoor atmosphere. The Elephant Room situated as if over Foss Creek get three thumbs up from a two-handed nature girl. Definitely worth a visit when in Healdsburg for a casual bar with positive vibe.

Normally I'd give a 4 or 5 star review because i love the community feel of locals mixed with travelers from afar, and great music line ups. And several of the employees are very nice and one of the owners is a buddy of my hubby's and we loved and miss the old toad. But i don't think the owners were there last night from what we could tell. And i would have phone called to speak to someone before posting this review but they have no phone number nor email address listed, anywhere, from what i could research around the web. So here you go: Last night we went to a $30 ( day of price) show and got a $17 sandwich from the vendor out front and many beers, but when i realized my new car keys were missing i knew they couldn't be far because I'd not gone anywhere. When we asked two specific employees behind the bar who were very rude and uncompromising. They were too busy taking beer orders and counting receipts to waste their time. After asking those two about it they said nope, nothing on our counter, and that was the only place they would look. I knew i had probably left it on the food vendor table and they said only the owner or this one employee who was not there any longer would know. They said, oh it'll turn up call tomorrow or later in the week. All employees just trusted what the folks behind the bar said and no one would look further until my husband begged one of them to please text the food people. ( of which prior, when i asked, they acted like they had no idea how to reach the food vendor) No one gave us the curtesy of letting us know they did find the keys finally find the keys after texting food vendor who told them right where they were, a safer place than the messy back countertop. The same gal who was ultra rude to us finally admitted that she texted the food people who had kindly left my keys in a safe place much earlier in the evening (all along!) and that she actually had them right there at the elephant in the room. We had to call my son back whom we'd awoken in Santa Rosa to bring us the spare keys ( new car and expensive keys were not going to stay over night in that parking lot with an open car) and tell him he did not need to continue his drive, turn around we got the keys. The "elephant in the room" big message here is that at least two employees were very rude to us while we searched for the keys, clearly upset ( and three others were nice, but leaned on the advice of the two rude ones). Those two were so obviously disinterested and only concerned with money coming in the joint. And to be honest alcohol seemed to flow in front of the bar as well as the back. And my bottom line feeling is that when I'm paying a venue over $60 for just myself, i want quality customer service to go with it.

A live music venue for locals, beer and wine. Limited food. A great place as most places in Healdsburg are for tourists.

Hands down one of the best places in Healdsburg. Friendly staff, good selection of beer and a speedy dependable service. The outside patio has a beautiful tree next to the stage where bands perform and plenty of heaters for colder nights. KC Mosso the owner puts his heart and soul into the musical talent he brings in. You have to catch one of the legendary shows!
