A fantastic restaurant and brewery in downtown Sonora that I was fortunate enough to visit as I was…read morein town for a special event to honor my brother. The beer was fantastic as I had an outstanding ale with a pulled pork sandwich that was tender and juicy on a roll that was toasted as well as onion rings. Customer service by the staff was friendly and professional and sat us on this beautiful table that appeared to be of glossed over redwood which fit with what I would imagine a brewery in Sonora feeling like. I never felt out of place and I didn't go home hungry. Would highly recommend this place for any downtown visitors or people who work in the city and I thank the employees of Sonora brewing for the wonderful experience.

Server said they'd bus it - granted they might have been understaffed - but it took 10+ min, didn't bus. Tried ordering drinks for another 5 minutes, couldn't get a drink. Just left. It's a bummer, easily a $200+ check altogether. Love trying different breweries and wasn't able to try here.

The other dishes were pretty basic, although still tasty. To note, they had run out of several items on their menu and had no ice for their drinks. Their non-alcoholic drinks were all canned too, including their coffee. This place is famous for its beer (saw a "Best West Coast IPA" plaque on the wall) and I could see the brewing machines out back. However, none of my party drinks alcohol, so can't attest to how it was. Many people were ordering beer though, so I assume it's good. Was seated for a party of 4 with no wait on a Saturday night at 6:30 pm. Indoor and outdoor seating available, board games in the corner, and there's a calendar of special events in the menu. Free parking lot.

The bar is impressive and a great way to be greeted. There is seating available if you want to grab a bite to eat while you indulge in a handcrafted cocktail. The entrance leads to an amazing outdoor area with a courtyard, lots of seating and more bar areas. There is an upstairs area that has views of Sonora, but also overlooks the outdoor area which is great for people watching. The Armory is family and dog friendly and it was great to see families and their fur babies enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. The menu has great appetizers to share, salads and bowls, tacos, sandwiches, and satisfying pastas + a delicious short rib plate. The drink menu is extensive - they have an impressive variety of barrel-aged bourbons, Irish whiskeys, scotch, rye, tequila, and mezcal and quite the selection of beers on tap, in bottles, and in cans. The wine list will have something for everyone. And the cocktails all looked amazing! We had the smoked pork nachos, ahi poke bowl, and the Rodeo Burger. Everything was tasty and came out quickly. The Armory is a must try!

We settled into our Airbnb cabin in Sonora, only to discover there was nothing to explore…read morenearby--just someone's backyard with no trails or points of interest. Fortunately, we remembered passing a sign for Indigeny Reserve and saw on the map that it was within walking distance. Since it was already after 3pm and they closed at 5pm, we decided to drive over and make the most of our afternoon before they closed. When we walked in, the building was empty, but we were eager to try a cider tasting. Browsing the shop, we found a variety of merchandise--shirts, hats, sweaters, and an assortment of cheeses, crackers, chips, and other tasty treats. Eventually, a friendly staff member greeted us and offered the $10 tasting. Since closing time was approaching, she joked about giving us paper cups to avoid running the dishwasher. We didn't mind, but she kindly served the cider in glasses, which made the experience nicer. She also offered a whiskey tasting in a cool room lined with barrels and tables, plus gift boxes and other products. The whiskey tasting was just $2, with three varieties to sample. I'm not much of a whiskey fan, but I appreciated that she wasn't rushing us out. Both of us loved the Blackberry cider, so we each ordered a glass to enjoy outside. The outdoor area is expansive, with wooden benches, tables, and lawn chairs scattered across a grassy lawn overlooking a large vineyard. Only a few couples and families lingered--likely because of the early closing time. After relaxing with our ciders, we wandered down the trail to the lake. Along the way, we discovered old barns, a whimsical gnome area, and several upside-down boats tied up near the shore. If the boats hadn't been secured, we joked about taking one out for a row on the lake! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Indigeny Reserve and, in retrospect, wished we had brought the teens along. Still, it made for a wonderful little date.

We arrived earlier in the evening before the music started so we could hopefully grab a table. Thank goodness we did because the space filled up fast. It was so crowded it was hard to move around. From what I heard, they usually have the band outside, but since it was raining, they were crammed into the very small corner in the back. Aside from the space being tight, I had a good time. I don't drink beer, but they had other options for me to chose from. I particularly loved the boozy kombucha they had on tap. They ran out early in the evening, so I was only able to grab one, but it was really good. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring outside food in. The staff was busy, but they were friendly and answered questions I had. Lastly, the sense of community amongst all the people there was obviously special. Everyone seemed to know each other, which is a cool thing to experience.
