I love this bar and have seen many amazing bands here over the years. The people are always friendly and actually dance. There's tons of outdoor seating, games to play, and I always make new friends, or see old friends (and it's hands down the coolest Elvis-themed ladies room in Marin).

Peri's Odd Memorabilia In a Weird Location!
Shirley M. F.

A very slow-paced bar where you can hear local musicians express musical expression and their songwriting craft. At times, this bar becomes packed while other times their are only a handful of regular Fairfax peeps frequenting this bar. Summertime Bar-B-Ques in the back yard, Weddings, jam nights, whatever may be held here. Nice heated outdoor, covered patio area for smoke stacks. Nice pool tables. Ask for Mr. Very Cool ~ Tim Bush! Cover charge is Friday & Saturday, the rest of the days are free cover. Volentary tip jar for musicians playing at Peri's. Odd, but funny thing is you never know "who" might show up to jam or hang out at this bar! O=;-D Heads Up! Watch out for Officer Friendly skulking the ENTIRE Fairfax area for peeps who go over the speed limit by THREE to FIVE miles an hour! Speed limit in Fairfax=25 MPH! Please use that cruise control and mark your speed at EXACTLY 25 MPH or get a ticket!

Women's bathroom/Sistine chapel to Elvis

Just stopped in here because we were lost, and my friend remembered that a co-worker got the crap beat outta him at some bar in this area... so, yeah, we had to stop in and check it out. Pretty mild-mannered bar with about 2 or 3 other patrons at 2 in the afternoon. So, we're pretty sure this isn't the spot he got stomped out. Bartender was really cool. But, the highlight for me was the shrine to Elvis in the women's restroom. My god, someone had fun putting that décor together. Now, I'm just wondering what the men's restroom looked like? Was hoping my friend would have checked it out since he's always pissing like a puppy after a few beers, but he didn't go while we were here. I'm going to imagine there had to be some kind of shrine to Marilyn Monroe in there... or maybe just some pissing targets of Hanoi Jane. Who knows. Well, if you know, please do tell and squash my wild imagination.

Beware of the swinging door. I know people have been clipped by it. No one takes responsibility.

Beautiful setting and sweet, accommodating staff but limited menu, mediocre food and high prices…read more Not much for vegetarians. And they charge an additional $2.50 for any drink served up in a martini glass! I'm not talking a large capacious martini glass but a tiny old-school one. My friend and I ordered the same drink (same booze) and hers was $2.50 more for the same quantity of liquid. This is strange. Not only have I bartended for years, but have been dining out for decades and have never seen a charge like this. Decor is out-dated too. Weird joint, not going back.

A real disappointment. We are long time fans of the original deer park, and were sorry to see it…read morego, but truth be told it had been going down hill for some time. When they reopened as the bootleggers lodge, we were excited to give it a chance, though the menu was not encouraging. Everything on there looks like it could be on the menu at TGI Fridays. Calamari, chicken wings, sliders, French fries. Total garbage, in other words. It's edible, but about what you'd expect at the airport hotel in Tulsa. The service was also indifferent (sat for 20 minutes without drinks) and the prices haven't come down. The proprietors were kind with their words and generous with excuses for the restaurants shortcomings, but that doesn't change the bottom line: we won't be back. One star for still having a lovely, romantic setting, and one more for having a liquor license. That's about all they currently have to offer. Avoid.

I mostly show up for the darts , and maybe table tennis , or even one of the many pool tables. I'll grab a classic Stella or Lagunitas when I go. Staff is amazing. Always friendly . Always a good atmosphere. Every time . Food is tasty. I love the burger. Fries are crispy, salty, and soft on the inside (kinda wish every fast food fries were like this), and the burger I got was very tasty. Juicy , filling , and flavorful . A great place for all to play some pool, darts, or table tennis. They even have air hockey and an arcade game near the entrance. It's a place for everyone. Great place to go to have a good bite , a drink, and just enjoy a fun time with family or friends . . Fun for everyone .

Lol There were three bartenders and two bar backs working and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves behind the counter as much as the people playing games the establishment. My boyfriend ran into some old friends, and apparently this is a melting pot of age groups, but all local people. Lol. I will definitely come back and check this place out and maybe next time we'll play pool also. Hee
