Cute divey bar here in SR. Not too far from the freeway. Prices on beers and cocktails are good especially during this economy. They have game nights and fun djs spinning on the 1s & 2s.

Security!

What an awesome neighborhood bar! Karaoke twice a week, live music most Friday's, free pool Wednesdays, Bingo Tuesday's, pool league on Monday's. The owner is a great guy, bartenders are all awesome and know their shit. Let's not forget about the fanatic American comfort food, their chicken quesadilla being my favorite.

Final Edition was bought by same owners as The First Edition in Petaluma somehow they brought the same vibe

Final Edition Bar & Grill is your basic "dive bar". I'm not sure if the title is a badge of honor or a slur; but what that means if you go to Final Edition is that you will be rubbing elbows with the salt of the earth. Hard hats, pony tails, short skirts, jeans, steel toed boots and running shoes meet to enjoy a respite from the world outside the bar. Patrons hale each other from the other side of the room when they enter this shrine dedicated to alcohol, comfort food and civility. At a good dive bar, everyone has dignity and everyone is respected when they walk in. (When they walk out depends on how they behave while they are there!) There are no topics here that are not open for civil discussion. There are no dumb questions. That's how it is in a dive bar. Sofie and I had hamburgers. This is why we came here. We wanted something different than what we have tried in the past. We returned from the land of bad hamburgers (Kansas) and were in need of having the real thing. Can you imagine our joy at having the real deal at Final Edition? Good honest hamburger full of taste and satisfaction. No need to travel to Kansas! The onion rings are outstanding. I love fried onion rings. These are among the best. Final Edition has activities that bring people together and deals that give everyone an incentive to return throughout the week. (see photo) The proprietor came to each table in a friendly and unobtrusive way to take orders, clean away dishes and ask if we enjoyed our food and needed anything. His demeanor was friendly, welcoming and caring. He is the kind of guy that invokes good behavior and kindness by setting a perfect example. Some people are like that. They are so nice that one wants to give back that attitude so not to disappoint the one who sets the cadence of the march. An elderly couple came into the bar and were stunned. They would not venture more than 3 feet. They looked around to take in the room, then looked at each other and walked out. Final Edition isn't for everyone. That's a good thing. It keeps out the riffraff for which Final Edition is a refuge from. It isn't communism to be sure; but everyone here is your brother or your sister.

Ty (other reviewer) hit the nail on the head when he said, it's like a bar from the Midwest. A bar you'd find in the boonies of Wisconsin and some parts of inner city Chicago. Spent the morning on a farm in the ways out doing some serious laborious work. Heading back to civilization we got the notion of burgers. Since we were out this way, Buns and Burgers is a usual destination, though today we decided to try the mysterious, black tinted bar next door. I left the farm and headed for Grand pappy's cabin. The bar; a real dive, think old brown wood, cozy pub stools, a high step to relax your dogs and a padded arm rest to lay the gun show. There are all kinds of knick knacks that adorn the walls which is the kind of stuff, someone received and wanted to hang, but their wife just wouldn't allow it. They don't make bars like this. I could have sat in that stool the rest of the afternoon, watched Nascar and downed a couple more Sierra Nevada's. You'd be surprised to find that they also pour Stella Artois, Widmer Honey and then the usuals. I'm glad they carry Coor's light, it's a super light domestic that heals the weak and allowed for a productive afternoon. Food, well it's a bit too expensive to me and the burgers taste like they are of the frozen variety, good but not great. I hear the salads and soups are made in house which are pretty good. A cool note, they have an erasable board set up behind the bar which is used to track drinks purchased for friends. You buy a drink and give them a name. When your friend stops by, they give their name and collect their drink or shot. Different but cool.

One of the best local bars left in Santa Rosa. Pool tables and a juke box with an extremely welcoming staff.

Went here on our first night for dinner with the kids after we checked in to Vinarosa resort. It…read morewas a relief not to have to drive out again and have access to a good restaurant around the property. We were a bit early to our 7:30 pm reservation at the terrace. Originally seated in a cramped table more suited for 2, but our waitress, Jennifer, accommodated us to have a larger table near the table. The terrace was a perfect place to host kids. We did not feel too much pressure as it was more casual without being cold. And thoroughly enjoyed the view of the vineyard and the many dogs that were roaming around the property we brought our's too!). Now to the food - we ordered the mussels and fries, steak w frites, and the halibut. The kids ordered two pastas from the kids' menu with shirley temples. My elder had two bowls of their butter pasta (hold the greens/parsley, please). Their carbs were all delicious - pasta ordered twice as mentioned, and fries, we had to order another bowl. The protein could have been better but enjoyed the mussels dish very much. Thank you for our first dinner back in Sonoma.

Upon entering there was a host at the podium who didn't greet my girlfriend and I. The staff here seems really miserable and didn't smile one time. Our waitress seated us and left behind an iPad on the table which I just assumed she forgot it sitting there. She returned and asked if we'd like to order drinks. There was no drink menu and she mentioned the iPad was the menu for that. Maybe you guys should tell guests that when you're seating them. We both ordered the same dish because it sounded good. This dish was $38 for just some basic rigatoni. There was almost no meat in this bolognese so we were just eating noodles. I will not be coming back here. $148 for us to not enjoy our dinner.

This place continues to challenge me in ways I never expected. I identify as they/them, and…read moreunfortunately, that comes with a lot of misunderstanding and a lack of acceptance. I was simply relaxing when I was told to put my shirt on. Despite explaining myself and pointing out that other people were showing their chests and breasts, my concerns were dismissed. Apparently, the rules only seem to apply when it comes to certain people. For the longest time, I genuinely believed the Belvedere was a safe space where I could express myself freely and feel comfortable in my own skin. It's disappointing to see how quickly that sense of safety can disappear when you're simply trying to exist as your authentic self. What's even more disheartening is that, rather than having a respectful conversation or making an effort to understand my perspective, I was kicked out. Being treated this way for standing up for my gender identity was both humiliating and incredibly disappointing. It's ironic that a place I once considered welcoming has made me feel so unwelcome for being who I am. Inclusivity should mean more than just words or appearances. It should mean treating people with dignity and respect, even when you don't understand them. I refuse to believe that being comfortable in my own skin is something I should have to apologize for. I know who I am, and I will not make myself smaller to accommodate someone else's discomfort. The Belvedere has lost the trust of someone who genuinely wanted to believe it was a safe space. And honestly, that says far more about the environment they choose to create than it does about me.

We had another chance to try an escape room at Poppy Bank Epicenter, and this time we chose the…read moreBigfoot escape room. Hosts were super friendly, just like the last time, so no complaints there at all. Overall, this escape room was much, much better than the Charlie's Candy Shop escape room. It felt much more intuitive, and the clues were written clearly, which made the experience more enjoyable. The only issue we experienced was in the second room, during the part where you use the dowsing rods to find the letters on the wall which are needed to open the safe. We weren't able to get any readings from the dowsing rods, we weren't sure if the magnets were not strong enough or if something else was affecting it. We ended up calling the host for help, and she was very nice and helpful. She gave us a hint about using a specific word on the metal board, and we immediately understood which five-letter word she meant. That hint worked perfectly for us. Other than that one part, we had a great experience and enjoyed the escape room!

The waitress was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu and cleared up any questions we had. The food is so delicious. We ordered Parmesan cheese and ancho French fries, queso fundido, and chicken bacon pesto pizza. The fries were so crisp and quite seasoned. Will say they are a go to option whenever I come back. It's nice to find places that serve crispy fries like that. Crispy on the outside, nice and soft inside. It was quite a treat. Queso fundido was a great option because we had a hankering for nachos and this definitely filled the cravings. If you're someone that maybe doesn't do onions, just make sure to ask for no onions. Luckily I'm able to do onions, but you never know if someone has a preference. The cheese and chorizo combo was amazing, and the best part it wasn't greasy or fatty from the cheese. It just looked so clean. The star of the show had to be the chicken bacon pesto pizza. I love a good pizza but my favorite are the out of the ordinary toppings and sauces. They had other amazing options but it's not everyday I can try a chicken bacon pesto pizza. This was a homerun and a half. I definitely recommend this pizza to anyone who wants to try an out of the ordinary combo. The pizza was cooked to perfection and it was fluffy. The cheese was all over the place because, I had an amazing cheese pull! If you're one for cheese pulls, this one's got your number. All in all an amazing experience. I'll come back here again
