Amazing little beer bar on the route from San Fran up to Sonoma. Incredible selection and feels frozen in time. Loved it

The last time I went to ernie's tinbar, they don't serve food, they have bar snacks. They have the same craft beers as many other locations.
They don't have a real parking lot, and their patrons pretty much cause numerous traffic violations, There on the corner of Lakeville and stage gulch.

If you haven't been to tin bar, stop in at least once in your life.

In the No-man's-land between Novato, sonoma, and petaluma is a very interesting bar.

At the intersection of Lakeville road and hwy 12, is a popular, quaint spot with friendly staff and lively patrons.
There is probably room for only 15 or so people to sit at the bar and there's not a whole lot of interior space past that. But man I love landing a stool on a wet winter day next to the fire place and grabbing a can of Olympia for 2 bucks.

It's a day bar, closes at 8pm so don't expect to make it a late one, but if you wanna let traffic die down its ideally located.
Great spot.

Passed by on a Saturday afternoon, saw the fun being had by all, and had to stop for a beer or three. Live music, friendly faces, great beer, good times. What’s not to like?

A true classic/unique Americana roadhouse, Ernie's may have the best beer menu in the Bay Area. Great live music at the end of the bar and an absolutely killer staff that were super welcoming! They've had excellent music playing every time we visited and just started staying open until midnight on Fridays & Saturdays. No cellphone calls on the property was an added bonus. Super friendly patrons to chat with and have a cold one. Big shout out to the bartenders Chris & Katie. What a cool place!!
