Large space, decent variety of beer on draft - I had the hazy ipa and wheat beer, enjoyed both. Fair prices and I appreciated that they serve 20oz pours. Fast and friendly bar service. They had a band playing the evening I visited -- band wasn't good, but it livened up the atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop over here in lieu of the big chain brewery.

The Community Center reminded me of "The Dome School" I used to go to for Halloween and New Years Eve dances with bunches of hippies in Takilma, back in the day. And this was, indeed, peopled by old hippies...not a high heel or tie in sight. Everyone looked like they were probably growing their own medicine, and probably growing it for their grown kids, too. But it was a beautiful building -- it's apparently a work in progress, and undoubtedly by volunteers. Groovy volunteers. Of course! We got to go see the San Francisco Mime Troupe there this past weekend, and I didn't get any photos of the inside, but it's sort of an open-lofted two-plus odd-angled affair, with a patio-in-progress. We didn't have the dinner, but it looked like some excellent vegetarian lasagna with a killer salad...... beer & wine were also available. Smoke 'em if you got 'em! Oh, my. It was like looking at Woodstock participants....40 years later.... Mellow, fun, non-threatening, colorful....

This intimate venue, at the top of the stairs and to the left, seats about 900 where some of the greatest musical talents in the world have played and graced this amazing stage and venue for decades now. Beer and wine is usually available for purchase, as are light refreshments. A non-smoking venue. Our most recent concert brought us back to this awesome venue for a show with Ozomatli this past Tuesday evening - This show did not disappoint! The Los Angeles based band has been together for almost two decades now, and it showed in their performance as they smoothly moved from urban latino - to hip hop, to cumbia, salsa and funk. This was an awe inspiring show, for both performers and the audience, as many have been, that I have seen at this venue in recent years. Playing at the Van Duzer theater, artists, musicians and performers all seem to thrive in this special and magical venue. It truly does bring out the best in those who play this stage. The audiences are some of the best in the world, and if you go to a show at this venue, you will find and see that those who do attend are there because they love the music and the artist performing. This in turn translates to the musicians and performers and as such the shows here are always spectacular and amazing in their own right. It does not get any better than this for live music. You can reach the Center Arts ticket office at 707-826-3928 to find out more about this venue and upcoming shows. The 2014-15 season looks to be a great one again, so if you ever find yourself on the north coast, 300 miles in the middle of nowhere and looking for world class music, this is it! A Pure 5 STAR venue. 00086

"Anyone can write a song. Just sit down and sing your conversations." - George Schroder (taken…read morefrom - http://katewolf.com/archive/biography/index.htm) ...and that's what inspired Kate Wolf to open up her heart and sing. I have always wanted to go to the Kate Wolf Music Festival. I remember hearing about it years ago and being impressed with the lineup. It was diverse and I knew it would be an intimate and unforgettable experience And so this year - when I saw that Smokey Robinson was playing - I committed and bought my ticket. I manifested a ride that morning from a guy who was kind enough to take the longer route to Portland and I chanced it up (danced in the car) all the way there. He wasn't able to drive all of the way in - so he dropped me off in a dry field right by the entrance. The heat was strong and as I piled all of my stuff up in an awkward heap, feeling the sweat drip into my eyes - I knew it would be an adventure. From the moment I arrived at Kate Wolf Music Festival I was greeted with nothing but kindness. Two volunteers helped recruit a festival vehicle to help transport me and my stuff into the campgrounds.The older tye-dye adorned man who drove up to help me - lapped around the area twice just so I could get a well rounded understanding of the space. Once inside I set up camp in a shady area (which unfortunately are few and far between in the campground area at Black Oak Ranch.) by a lovely welcoming group of Kate Wolf veterans. From then on - it was pure magic. Kate Wolf Music Festival has been taking place since June of 1996. The crowd skews older and it's evident by the way everyone knows each other - that the Kate Wolf Music Festival is an annual event for many. It's very family oriented and everyone looks out for each other. I have never felt safer at a festival. The music was also the most varied of any of the festivals I have attended thus far this year. With the ethereal crooning of Ma Muse, the soulful blues from Roy Roger's slide guitar, and the pure sex and unmistakable born talent that oozed from Lukas Nelson - I was smitten. I befriended some kind vendors throughout my time there and lived off of mystical Jun based Herbal Junction Elixirs . I had been gifted a ticket to see the Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well concert in Santa Clara that Sunday, and while I was definitely torn between the two - I am glad that I basked in the pure and genuine energy which moved so easily around Kate Wolf Music Festival. It was hot and it may have been one of the hardest festivals to secure a ride to - but it was so worth it. Hip rolling to Smokey Robinson in my yellow dress with my Jun elixir in hand - I felt abundantly blessed. Thank you Kate Wolf for leaving such a pure musically lined legacy. Trust.

A…read morededicated group of musicians, music lovers, happy volunteers and all things northern California cool gather just north of the tiny rural town of Laytonville right on the 101. The Kate Wolf festival is one of those rare events that everyone should attend at least once in their lives. Excellent music, decent food options, kids programs and entertainment throughout the days events(if you have children), camping on the site of the festival, most everyone you encounter is glad to be there, friendly and kind. All of the volunteer staff are good, decent folks that are glad you are there, and it is all held in an awesome setting - under big shade trees and on a grassy meadow. It can get a little crowded, it can be a little hot and some times there is a line at the porta-pots(which by the way are some of the cleanest you will ever encounter at an outdoor three day music festival) but hey that's part of what makes outdoor festivals fun and interesting - Kate Wolf Festival in a class all by itself and its all about the love and the music. You will be glad you went, and most who do attend come back. Well worth the effort, and another great event that makes living behind the Redwood Curtain - such the cool and awesome place that it is. a Solid 5 star event and festival. 00240

There's a jukebox on site too, to go along with the quirky decor and dim colored lighting creating an inviting setting. Also, service at the bar was excellent as we ordered a couple different cocktails. The whiskey sour and strawberry lemon drop were made well and quite tasty. So of course, we had seconds. Needless to say, I'm a fan of this place.
