Walked in on Thursday night. Band playing, one person listening. Tried making small talk with the…read morebartender who has wanna be Elvis sideburns. I asked if he did Elvis impersonations. He said only big groups with 10,000 people or more. I told him my family is related to Elvis (which is true. My grandpa's grandpa and Elvis' grandpa were cousins. My mom's maiden name is Presley). He completely ignored me and walked off. Now, I don't expect anything whatsoever for my very very very very distant Elvis relation. But, it's sometimes a talking point. When he walked off, I just said, "Ok". He snapped, "I'm busy", looked down at his phone suddenly and walked out back. I love Sutter Creek and maybe he had a bad day since their business mustered up maybe 5 people on the night. But as long as he's there, I'll never be a patron

The venue is much larger than it looks like from the outside and friendly for both real locals and sacto alike. He's shorthanded and I think pretty stressed out at times. Someone with some capital could make this a real gold mine. I dropped by after doing some work in the mountains and it was jumping with some Chili peppers and Pearl Jam.

"Some likes wine, I like beers and wine, and other stuff with high ABV"... -Super cool chill place located right off the Hwy 16 just on the other side of Plymouth as you venture into Amador's wine country. -VIBE: brewery is always awesome.

Gotta get the flight whenever visiting a brewery to pr-game. -October feast "was good" - The red ale "very tasty" - BUT Nite Hiker - "was da " bomb"...yummy, full body, flavorful, coffee "Ish", barrelage "Ish" is what i gravitate towards. I like it, and you probably will to if you have good taste "LOL"..... -Staff: MANDATORY great attitude with an unlimited supply of alcohol at your disposal "LOL"...the dude w/ the beard was cool; he looked at my slanted eyes and buddha belly and automictically wish me "GOOD LUCK" with very accurate assumption of my journey towards local Tribal establishment "LOL"..... -VERDICT: fun place, good vibe, and cool peeps....check it out and drink more beers...........

We came on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to find out it's Happy Hour all day with $2 off any drink. I ordered the hefeweizen, and it was perfectly refreshing after a long day of snowboarding. My husband got the POG kombucha, and we both ended up loving our drinks. The atmosphere is a huge standout too. There's a few tables for indoor seating, but the outdoor area is surrounded by tall forest trees, giving it a peaceful, tucked-away vibe and makes it a unique brewery atmosphere. They even have a few igloo-styled tents with heat lamps, which made it super cozy on a cooler day. Plus, there are food trucks parked outside, so grabbing something tasty to pair with your drink is super easy. Overall, awesome drinks, great ambiance, delicious food options nearby, and an unbeatable happy hour deal. Can't wait to come back next time we're in Tahoe!

This was the culminating experience of an amazing weekend's ramble through northern California. The…read moreSt. George is a tiny little beer and wine joint located in the criminally overlooked treasure that is the former mining town of Volcano. Dave, the owner is a magnificent host and and all around great guy. He welcomes everyone who comes through the door as though they are a decades-long regular. He has a bottomless wealth of stories to tell and is always ready to join in a good conversation. The menu is simple: a selection of about twenty well-curated bottles of beer, and a rotating selection of wines, most of which are made by Dave wearing his other hat as an award-winning maker of port-style and red wines. Dave says that he intends to put a small tapas menu together soon, but for now there is food available at the hotel next door. No matter, the limited menu is part of the attraction of the St. George Wine Room. The focus here is not on the vile pretensions of the wine snobs and foodies, but on time spent in a cozy place with an honest drink and the easy conviviality that a well run bar provides. Here, strangers are swapping life stories fifteen minutes after meeting and generally behaving as though meeting at a party hosted by a close mutual friend. There is a tiny stage that plays host to a variety of local acts from singer songwriters to small Latin combos a few nights a week, as well as serving as the arena for one of the most joyfully informal karaoke nights this side of a Filipino wedding. The night we were there, the solo guitarist playing covers at the restaurant around the corner was maybe going to show up. He didn't. Instead, the sons of one of Dave's friends came in and played a low key duet set of intimate guy-with-guitar songs and elegant improvisations, followed by a bout of joyous karaoke. The informality of the evening's entertainment only served to heighten the homey feeling. To be perfectly honest, I would rather not advertise that the St. George and Volcano exist at all. I'd hate to see this place devolve into an antique boutique cluttered little town like the nearby Sutter Creek. Charming as that city is, the simplicity and hideaway cosiness of Volcano and towns like it offer something different, and it's places like Dave's that are illustrative of this difference. But this place is too great to keep to myself, so do yourself a favor and stop in.

We took the day to stroll around Volcano yesterday & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We happened upon…read morethis little wine bar & went in to take a look - were told that a latin jazz band was playing later so we made a note to stop by. After frequenting the other local establishments I was ready to call it a day, or was that night, when the hubby said "I'm not done yet!" So back we went to the wine bar & am I glad we did! There was a duo playing guitar & harmonica & sounding nothing like latin jazz but we got ourselves a beer & settled in by the pot belly stove to hang out a bit. The latin band had not showed up so these guys just grabbed their instruments & entertained us all night! Later we sauntered outside where some had gathered & we were welcome like old friends. The front of the bar is like someone'e home patio - filled with seating & people stopping by to chat. We met the locals, the owner brought me a wonderful glass of port he had made, totally unbidden & we hung out for quite a long time, another beer, another glass of port...an unplanned day that turned out to be one we'll remember for a long time!

You can chug a beer, eat pizza AND head home with a beautiful new plant all in one night, all from one place =) The ambiance gives off a botanical, airy and casual (but very comfortable) feel. STAFF: The staff is INCREDIBLE. Solid, extremely kind and VERY hardworking. All staff members share in the cashier, food-making, clean up and food running. So YES, be sure to tip when you order. The Rose family are the kindest people and what they have created is something that should really be celebrated by all EDH locals and beyond. EVENTS: Tuesdays are Trivia Nights (Hannah is amazing!), Wednesdays are Bingo, and live music on Saturdays.

Kid Friendly: They have crayons, and coloring sheets for kiddos along with cards and various other table games. (For adults too!) FOOD/BEVS: All beer offered is Boring Rose beer and it's really good! Additionally they offer house made seltzers, carry local ciders, and wines. They make fresh and delicious Pizzas, wraps, salads, etc. and the pretzel with beer cheese is a MUST. This brewery is one of the most approachable, friendly, fun and delicious spots in the Town Center.
