We were on our way back from our Saturday trip north when we reached Petaluma and decided to stop…read moreat Lagunitas for a cold beer and some food. It had been a while since we had last come here, so it was fun to be back and enjoy some of our favorite beers. It was a beautiful day, and they had live music. They also had a couple of large-screen TVs set up showing the World Cup game. Our server was very helpful, answering our questions about beer and bringing us a couple of samples before deciding what to order. I asked for my favorite light beer, DayTime, and we decided to share an order of chicken wings, fries, and their P-Town Chop Salad. The beer was as good as I remembered, and the food was well-made and delicious, especially the wings (with Buffalo sauce). They allow dogs, as long as they are well-behaved and on a leash, so our little guy had fun saying hello to a couple of dogs that were sitting nearby in between his breaks from begging for treats from the table. We spent a couple of hours there before heading home.

In addition to the mattering of beers to choose from there are surprisingly some non-alcoholic options as well! Food was surprisingly great for an establishment that centers around drinking and we all enjoyed ourselves (even the sober ones). That said, service was slow despite being a week day with few other patrons; otherwise, good show! Fare: 5/5 Cost: $$

I also ordered a few pints of their seasonal Big Chicken, which is an absolute must whenever it's available. Smooth, flavorful, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. The atmosphere was great--relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what you want from a brewery. As an added bonus, there was a Mexican food truck on-site during our visit, which paired perfectly with the beers and made the experience even better. One of the best parts is the location: it's literally across the street from Lagunitas, making it incredibly easy to turn your visit into a full brewery-hopping day. If you're in the area and enjoy craft beer, this spot deserves a stop on your itinerary. Great beer, great food options, great vibe, and a fantastic selection. I'll definitely be back.

The atmosphere is fantastic, though my one small gripe is trying to get the outdoor heaters turned on when it chilly--the staff could definitely improve a bit on that front. As for the food, the choices can be wonderful and the quality is consistently good. However, the menu can feel pretty repetitive over time unless a new season rolls around with fresh specials. Overall, it's a wonderful spot that I love coming back to, just hoping for a bit more menu variety and easier warmth on cold days!

This was such a major disappointment! I came here on a Sunday evening with my boyfriend before…read moregoing to a concert at Mystic Theatre. I had been to the block before about a few years earlier and remember it being lively and fun filled with a handful of food options and a packed bar. This time, the establishment was almost completely empty with only two food options: the barbecue or the pizza. Both menus were extremely limited in terms of available options. I went with the barbecue platter and my boyfriend went with two slices of pepperoni pizza. While the pizza was decent, but nothing to write home about, I would never order that barbecue platter again. First of all, the mac & cheese that it came with was more like overcooked buttered noodles without seasoning. The pulled pork and the coleslaw tasted old as if it had been sitting out at room temp. I also thought it was weird that they gave me potato chips as another side, but to eat their own. The only thing I actually enjoyed were the side of pickles and who knows if those were even made or from a jar. It was cold outside, so we decided to sit under the enclosed portion of the building and flies swarmed us - they were everywhere and we were continuously swatting our hands around to try to get any relief. It was miserable experience and as soon as we were done eating, we just wanted to leave. I can see why people were not here after the disappointment my boyfriend and I felt.

Ads for Two…read moreRock Brewing led me here, their hours weren't correct online so I had to come back later the same day. This is a shared outdoor event space with restaurants, bars, and stage for live music. There was a good amount of people there, probably gets busier during events. I asked the bar about the brewery and was told there was currently only one selection from them on tap which was disappointing. It wasn't the most comfortable place to enjoy a beer either. Even if there had been more to experience, I probably wouldn't have bothered going back. One other note, the restrooms are singles and with so many people there was a long wait to use one. I'd imagine that'd be worse when busy.

Turns out other friends have it on their wishlist as well, so I'm glad for making the stop. The brewery is a quick drive off the highway, in an commercial park area with lots of big shade trees and green lawns. The brewery is beautifully landscaped with big trees, flowers, potted plants, and an outdoor drinking area with umbrella tables which also have warmers for those cooler evenings. On the day of our visit, it was extra hot in the afternoon so we went inside. It has a clean and comfy vibe, with high ceilings, cozy lighting, a clear tap list, and nice tables of different sizes around the bar. At the back is a merchandise area and restrooms. I love their owl theme, great designs and fun items. The beers were also excellent, I tried a few IPAs mostly sticking with favorite hops and one collab that sounded great. The bartender on our visit wasn't friendly or welcoming at all, and was that way with just about everyone else there. Oh well. I still highly recommend checking this place out for the quality of the beer and a great venue to enjoy it in.

The team there were personable, attentive and genuinely cared about giving their guests a great experience. We enjoyed the Caesar salad and calamari for apps, the teres major steak and fried chicken for dinner and then the lemon cheesecakes and peanut butter chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Our child is still just a baby but this restaurant is kid friendly but is still a good venue for couples looking for a date night. The only complaint I would have would be the people smoking outside of The Big Easy next door.

Talk about happy tastebuds. Our main dish was a beautiful salmon fillet prepared perfectly with just a hint of lemon rubbed on, and presented on a bed of shelled brussel sprouts lightly roasted. The coup de gras was the dessert: a slice of peanut butter and a flourless chocolate cake. Luis recommended a sangiovese for my wife and she enjoyed it immensely. This restaurant I would proudly recommend to all my friends. I would have rated it higher than a five if I could have.

Walk inside and you feel like you're at a cool party! Every bartender/ mixologist knows their stuff making well crafted cocktails. All the ingredients going in the drinks are quality. Griffo is fantastic with offering up both fabulous live music and DJ's. On nice days the warehouse door slides up offering more seating and quite often a tasty food truck. Additionally their spirits are offered to purchase there. I picked up a wonderful vodka, a gin as well as a delicious shrub syrup to add to cocktails. I've had the pleasure of interacting with Kat (manager I believe) - such an engaging person. What's not to love at Griffo?!?!

It's located out in a commercial park area, which was surprisingly beautiful and serene. They have a large parking lot, and share restrooms with the offices inside. Outside is a big beer garden area, perfect seating for any weather or mood. The interior is high ceilings with a metal/cement industrial vibe but still comfortable with wood tables and lots of happy customers. They only do full or half pours, no flights here, but they have lots of beers to choose from. They also have a great selection of 4-packs for takeout. A water stand is next to the bar. I had a great visit here; we arrived in an afternoon and it was still busy. Both beers I ordered were delicious, and I wanted to try more (next time I will at the new Petaluma location). Prices were also reasonable for the quality. Huge shout out to social manager CT for immediately coming out to say hello, and for the drink tokens for next time! It certainly added a happy little touch to a place I was already enjoying.
