Came here after a local hike, new to me. all outdoor seating with some tables covered. huge space ready for a crowd with stage for bands that play on weekends. good pub style menu with lots of local beers and wine. friendly staff too. the only thing that wasn't right was the bun on my fried chicken sandwich, way too soft and the bottom became way too soggy to hold with a wet dough texture. had to eat with a knife and fork which was a first for me, a more rustic roll would have been better and with flavor too. Maybe the buns were made in house? nice idea but maybe try something else. dog friendly and they even brought over a water bowl for us. worth a visit.

Shots anyone?

Honestly, the ambiance is great, it definitely gives off a great beer garden vibe and is very spacious/cool. However, the staff seemed to be pretty rude and cranky (out group was very friendly/polite, so this was really confusing to us). The food's not bad and the drinks are pretty good too, wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it seems like it's a better spot for a particular holiday themed events for locals or something like that.

Tried coming here a few years ago and was turned away due to a private event. Finally made it here and it is legitimately one of the best brewery / taphouse setups we have ever seen. First off, the place is huge and completely open (best dog spot ever) it is unassuming from the street but we could not believe how big it is once you past through the front gate. The food was unexpectedly phenomenal. We got the brisket poutine and the fried chicken sandwich. The sandwich was gigantic and fried to perfection. The pountine was excellent. Obviously the beer menu was great, but they have champagne, wine and mixed drinks. If we lived in the area this would be a once a week type spot. Absolutely will come here everytime we are in the area.

Love it here! Perfect beer garden - beer variety and great tasty food with live music! The vibes and fun times, are all there! Beef ribs are so tender, it falls off the bone. Brisket and chicken wings are all top notch! Service is on point! During the Christmas holidays, they deck this spot out! Cheers to happy experiences and shared laughter here!

Today was peak Brewsters - great service, holidays on steroids, a delicious (albeit $16) eggnog with booze, and melt off the bone ribs. So so good. Even though it was pouring they had a full crowd and lots of coverings. We are close to the TVs so we could catch a little afternoon NFL. A holiday tradition.

Brewsters is a vibe, especially during Christmas! It's decked out with all the Christmas decor and holiday drinks. Definitely a great place to bring friends, family, and kids! Food is okay, I always get their fried chicken sandwich. It's crispy and I like their goat cheese aioli they put in there. When it's really busy sometimes service can take awhile so just be prepared to stay longer. Overall a great place to hangout and eat!

My friends and I had our annual visit to Brewster's for their Christmas Popup. This is one of my favorite things to do in the Christmas season. I love love love their decorations, theming, drinks and the food is great too. Last night I got to try their new hot drink, the Carol Singer (although it was not really hot, more just warm. That was fine though) It was a super tasty apple cider mixed drink and boy did it put me in the Christmas spirit. I also had their Cream Vanilla Ale, which I enjoyed as well! The food is always great here. The standout of the evening was Mac and cheese. Add some burnt end to that and it is pure bliss. The buffalo wings were very good with a pretty mild sauce, but still tasty. We shared a full rack of ribs and it was a lot. Their ribs are not your typical BBQ ribs. They are smoked and then glazed with a sweet and salty sauce. I like them! A shout out to our wonderful server, Taylor, who did a great job taking care of us all evening. We love coming here to take lots of photos, so I've included a few below.

Best time of the year to go by Far!! It's absolutely mind-boggling and especially great for small children. The cocktails aren't bad either therefore, the parents lol highly recommend!!

So fun to come here during the holidays. The staff decorated the place throughout the month and it's amazing! Food is always great here. I tried soft serve with chocolate shell topping after dinner and it's so satisfying. Definitely save some room for soft serve. It's always busy here. Remember to make reservations!

A fantastic beer garden! We've been here twice, and each time it's been fantastic! Service is friendly and engaging, the menu is crisp and all-the-right-stuff, and beer list is well edited and robust. Our first visit included trivia, and second visit was Octoberfest-themed. Parking is a challenge but worth the effort.

On a day exploring Petaluma by foot, my first stop was the riverfront, which is the nicest area of town. All kinds of commercial and industrial buildings from the town's chicken farming past have been repurposed. Brewsters is a gorgeous spot; they have mostly outdoor seating that's covered from the sun and rain, plus semi-outdoor seating of long tables near the bar. As a beer fan I was mostly out touring breweries but they had two house beers worth trying. I didn't have food but all that I saw looked delicious. The bartender was extremely accommodating and talkative, which I appreciated. I also loved the natural tree cover and fire pits, I'm sure it's an equally fun place in the colder months.

If you're looking for a holiday themed bar look no further. It's literally what I would imagine walking into Santa's workshop at the North Pole! Make sure to take your time and walk around and enjoy all that they offer!

I found this place on TikTok and decided to go. There's a parking lot across the street. This place is an open brewery but they had a ton of heating lamps. This place was a Christmas wonderland my son thought it was the North Pole. It is extremely busy during December so come with time and the earlier the better. You might be seated on some benches very close to other families. This is a dog friendly place. The service was extremely fast. We ordered wings as an appetizer. That was okay I didn't get much of the buffalo taste but my son liked the wings. The cob salad was delicious highly recommend. Very good filling portions. My son loved the kids hot dog. My husband got a chicken sandwich he said it's one of the best he's had. The food is really good and high quality. A little pricey but definitely made up in the service. This is a beautiful place with great picture opportunities!

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.

Exploring all the breweries in a smaller town like Petaluma doesn't take much time. 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.
