A year ago our next door neighbors invited is to join them to Monday Trivia at Pond Farm. We had…read moresuch a great time that this has become a weekly celebration for folks on our street. Greg is a great Trivia host and it feels like home going each week. Come and see for yourself.

This place is popular, but I do not see why. The beer is just fine like any beer you get anywhere…read more You have to order by standing in line. The prices aren't any lower, even though there is no waiter coming for your table, just the opposite. There is no host to see you, and you can share tables, so it's quite uncomfortable in some situations. The other issue is there are kids running around that is not the fault of the restaurant but the clientele. Kids are running in and out the door playing on the sidewalk out front and overall just make an uncomfortable experience to have adult beverages, unless you're the kind of parent who likes to speak inappropriately and drink inappropriately in front of your children. None of this is really the biggest issue, which is the food is absolutely terrible. They should just serve crackers and cheese or something premade somewhere else. Lastly, the parking is terrible as there is none. It's a dangerous area of fourth Street with people speeding up right where the front doors are to enter Mericle mile. Please be careful especially with your children. It's strange to me why people think a place is good or cool just because they serve alcohol. This place is not good, but especially I can tell you that it is not cool. The clientele are very trendy, dorky, yuppies trying to be cool!!! one piece of advice for the restaurant and the customers is you can't try to be cool. Either you are cool or you're not and then most cases you're not! It's just because a place has beer doesn't make it cool, and just because you go there with your kids doesn't make you cool! Again, the real problem with the place is simply lack of originality and terrible food, as well as boring people who are spoiled brats!

Beer, that's all you need to know!…read more I must have my unwinding stop when we go on a shopping trip! Fortunately, my significant other enjoys beer as much as I do. On this trip to Vintage Oak Shopping Center in Novato, I searched for nearby breweries, and Indian Valley Brewery popped up. If there were anything called a nano-brewery, Indian Valley Brewery would be it! They are a tiny brewery with three brewing barrels, yet they produce delicious beer! They currently offer a limited selection of brews, no more than ten, if I am not mistaken. Their focus seems to be on IPAs. I tried a flight and decided their Hazy Blonde IPA was my favorite! Their taproom is small but cozy, and they have outside seating available in the back. The bartenders are all nice and willing to take their time to explain what each brew is like. If you do not feel like a beer during your visit, try their Kombucha, it is delicious. They do not serve any food, but on the day of our first visit, there was a food truck parked in front of the brewery that served delicious seafood.

The fruit and granola were fresh and tasty (I've had stale granola before from acai places so always skeptical).

They also have a dog that runs around like he owns the place which is very cute.

This is THE best kombucha you can buy. It tastes far better than the others and is made in small batches so it's extra healthy for your gut. All of the flavors are delicious. But the peach and the black cherry is our favorite. My wife loves it, and it's really tastes good. Every Saturday I look forward to buying my week supply. I highly recommend you try it out. Your belly will be thankful.

This place was such a fun surprise. The location is really accessible, with street parking…read moreavailable, which made getting there easy. I honestly didn't realize how much I'd enjoy playing pinball until coming here--there aren't many spots that have that kind of unique feature anymore, and it really added to the experience. I went for a Yelp Elite event, and it was great. The owner was there and super welcoming, and his staff were genuinely nice and attentive. We were given bracelets that gave us access to two drinks, which was a fun self-pour experience. That said, it would've been helpful to get a quick tip on pouring (like tilting your glass) beforehand--foam can sneak up on you fast , especially with so many people around. Because it was busy, we were also given a card that allowed unlimited access to the games, which was awesome and made the night even better. I definitely enjoyed my time here. The owner also mentioned that you can rent individual tables or even the whole venue for events, which is something I'd absolutely consider in the future. I'll definitely be back.

They had huge tvs playing sports which entertained the kiddo quite a bit. Breakfast Bravas ($19): The crispy potato coins + pork + runny egg + avocado + chipotle cream = elite combo!!! Stateroom Burger ($20): Cheese is not included and is an extra $2 (???). It was stacked though and hubby could only eat half before he was stuffed! I will absolutely be back for the bottomless mimosas ($25) and I'm curious about the dirty iced chi tea ($14). My daughter also loved all the magnets on the fence in their mini play area :)

She was rude and saying the kids weren't allowed at the bar area when the place clearly says kid friendly. We felt uncomfortable and decided to close tab, and she continued to show aggression and make sure we knew she was the manager and was nothing we can do about it. Been to many breweries and this is the worst so far just due the management. Update on my review.... I just got kicked out and I'm sure it was due to the review. The manager herself asked us to leave right after the review. When we asked why all she could say was because my kids were running around having fun with no warning whatsoever that they were being disruptive, how coincidental.

It's known to help digestion. The Irish Nachos sound fun! I'm striving to avoid gluten and dairy for digestive reasons, though.
