(1 star) literally no stars…read more... I paid $100 per ticket (two tickets) to experience what was honestly the worst New Year's celebration I've ever been to at Temple Nightclub. This night was supposed to be both my birthday and New Year's Eve, and nothing about this experience justified the price or the hype. There was no NYE countdown at all, which is unbelievable for a New Year's event. No moment, no energy, no collective celebration -- it honestly felt like just another dead night at a club. The vibe was extremely low. People looked sad, bored, or irritated, not excited to ring in a new year. Most people weren't even dressed like it was NYE, which says a lot about how poorly this event was curated. I like Ogeesy, but his performance was very underwhelming. He barely performed, did not engage the crowd, and brought no energy. It felt rushed and disconnected, not like a headlining New Year's set at all. To make things worse, everything was spilled everywhere, and despite having Tier 2 tickets, we were never given wristbands to access the upper level we paid for. Nothing about this night felt celebratory, special, or high-vibe -- especially for entering a new year or celebrating a birthday. I truly regret spending this money and wish I could get a refund so I can redo my birthday, because this was easily the most disappointing NYE experience I've ever had. I expected far more from Temple, especially at this price point.

This was our first time visiting Hopmunk in Sebastopol as we were seeing a show at their adjacent…read more music venue, The Abbey. I made a reservation for 6pm on the deck as it had seatbacks and my husband has a bad back and can't sit on a picnic table. It's an elevated section above the beer garden, which that night had a singer with guitar. Service was pleasant though a little slow with drinks but they were pretty busy. We both had margaritas to start, which were $16 plus $3 for call brand so $19 each. Pretty good but not too strong. I then had the Hopmunk hefewisen beer which was only $8, much more reasonable. I had the Biergarten cheeseburger on a pretzel bun, cooked perfectly medium rare. Served with caramelized onions, bacon, smoked Gouda and a beer cheese, it was tasty but pretty messy! Cost was $23 plus I subbed a kale Caesar for $2 which was good but not worth the hype as a little dry. Husband had the grilled mole chicken with mole sauce and Spanish rice for $24. It was a large portion with two pieces of chicken and he enjoyed it. We then saw a show in the stone tavern next to the beer garden. It's an intimate venue with not a bad view in the house. We had seats because my husband is disabled so we're right in the front row. Otherwise it was standing only. Great acoustics and venue. I would go there often if I lived in Sebastopol, as it's right near the Barlow and downtown. Definitely recommend for food, entertainment and atmosphere.

So I've come to hop monk Tavern before, but I've only really had their drinks. However today me…read moreand my friend decided to get food here. We ordered the buffalo wings as well as the steak and frites and their chicken Philly sandwich. The steak plate was pretty good and the wings were also relatively good. The steak does have chimichurri on it and the salad is really good as well or the coleslaw. I can't remember what it came with. The wings taste pretty fresh and they do give you blue cheese and ranch with them, as well as vegetables like carrots and celery. However you are paying $17 for eight wings just a heads up. My friend personally did not enjoy the chicken plate. She felt like the chicken did not taste fresh but quite frankly, we were unable to get our waiters attention throughout our whole time seated there so at the end, we decided to just leave it without saying anything. The service is the reason for the lower rating. I think the food was pretty decent, but the service was not up to par. Service here was mediocre. I will add that I do not say that lightly and I normally do not like saying that about restaurants. I normally understand when service is off if the restaurant is full however this restaurant was pretty empty. At first our server came around twice and then we ordered and once after she brought out the waters. My friend had to ask her twice to bring a lemon for her water because it seems that the server forgot, although from what I could tell, she was really only serving our table and maybe two others. When the food came out I asked if she could refill my water. She said she would be back with more water. However, she literally did not come back until 30 minutes later and that was after my friend had to flag her down and ask her if she could bring us more water. I should also say that this was after we had finished the entire meal, which at that point water was really not necessary. What really pushed the experience over the limit was the server mentioning to us when we were paying that she got off the clock early because it was so slow. Meanwhile I sat there wondering if this was the reason that her service was so awful. While sitting there eating, I did notice that in general service was a problem for this restaurant... I noticed another customer walked in and sat for a while and wasn't spoke to. When he asked them if they were still serving food, he was responded to rudely. I also noticed another customer asked in regard to the menu and another server told him that the menu was over there on the other side without giving any direction. Aesthetically speaking, the spot is really cute. There's a lot of lights. They have a lot of plants however, based on the service, I don't think I would come back here. My friend who has been coming here for many years was actually shocked at how bad the service was today and said that this was pretty abnormal. Who knows maybe it was an off day. Either way after being unattended for more than 30 minutes and ignored it didn't really leave any reason to come back here again.

It's just a really cool bar to hang out at without feeling overly crowded or try-hard. Overall, a solid spot with personality.

I'm guessing that they think we can get pretty rowdy? I especially didn't like being interrogated for what was in my purse, and I was also patted down! I have been to this area of Santa Rosa, and don't think of it being a high crime area. The sound was wonderful, but the lighting was average, often they would light up a band member that wasn't singing or playing, but it was much better than most places. We had a table, and got food, but the food was just average and there was beer and wine (average also). We may attend another show there, but hoping they will be mindful of the overkill security for the age groups that the band draws, and hope if they do keep the high security, they train them to not be rude to people, when entering the venue.
