Very good fish and chips. Malt vinegar brought without asking! Nice server. Good variety of food choices. I don't drink beer, so won't comment on drinks.

Went to rock music concert . You should watch for live entertaiment at the venue because it is nice size and inexpensive for good bands. Nice people but over worked servers. Good selection of beer on tap. Nothing special about the food but good, Better than any take out food but close to same price. Nice locals hang out or place to drop in after shopping at Costco or Target.

This review goes for Hopmonk’s food trucks. The food is bland, overpriced, and not worth buying again.

Ok food, allows dogs in patio seating. Options are sparse at 230pm as many of the House Special options are out. Menu was not updated despite many of the options have changed. Kiwi mocktail with tajin was pretty great.

Not as impressed with this location compared to Sebastopol. Not sure what it is, but the vibe is definitely not the same. Our meals today were pretty good. The kale Cesar was a little tough. I love kale, but I also know the value of massaging it before chopping it up and serving it as a $17 salad. The dressing saved the salad.

They say you can bring a lawn chair as long as it’s a low back. What they mean is only the really low beach chairs. They wouldn’t let us bring ours in.

We got the burger, pizza and chicken sandwich. The burger and sandwich were the driest, most underseasoned we've ever had. The chicken itself was very thin. Maybe 1/4 of a breast sounded out. The margarita pizza was a cheesy abomination. Sauce tasted like uncooked sweetened tomato paste. Extremely disappointed meal.

The appetizers were surprisingly really good? Cauliflower appetizer was my favorite followed by calamari then wings last. Love that they have Pliny on tap; their house brews (tasters only) were OK - I got a New Zealand IPA after Pliny.
Spacious seating, modern vibes. Think this place is BEST known for music and food selection, making it more all-around family friendly (for a brewery). Haven't gotten a chance to try the other breweries around that area, but I think if you're looking for one with actual good in-house brews, check out the other ones nearby imo.
Dog and baby-friendly. Dogs can sit in back or patio. Not too loud for babies.

We had a very good lunch experience. We had the half chicken with mashed potato and veggies. Everything tasted great.

We popped in for my sister's birthday....didn't get to enjoy having anything they were having an event....but they gave us $10 gift card to come back so that nice....she probably won't come back but I work in the area and that's why we wanted to stop by....so I'll update soon.....
When to a concert here. Was way too crowded. Not a venue for concerts at all. Sad we drove an hour only to leave early.

Paid only $30 to see Sierra Hull, amazing instrumentalist and singer. However, $17 for a pint is cray cray. Maybe prices go up during concerts??? Hull made it well worth it.
