You wouldn't expect an old saloon way out in Bolinas to have such delicious, fresh Mexican food, but they do! Not only were the burritos and tacos delicious, but the pico, the guac, the green AND red salsas were all basically perfect - fresh, delicious, not too spicy, the exact flavor profile I want from each one! Seriously, the tangy green sauce was delicious and barely spicy, while the red sauce was just spicy enough and had a ton of that smokey flavor that makes it so good! And those THICK, crunchy, salty chips - those are the exact right chips! They also have a great drink selection, and I'll probably come back sometime for lunch so I have an excuse to try their local coffee and breakfast cocktails. Also worth mentioning that if you drive another 100 feet down the road, the ocean is right there.

The small cups (about 1 cup) were half filled with spanish rice, the other cup half filled with black beans. HALF-filled. Our fish tacos had a very small portion of fish with a smattering of cabbage. I'm not one to complain about portions, but this is one review I have to write - portions were measly for $39. Thought I received a kids meal. This is a cool place to visit - maybe just have a drink, because the food is just not all there - literally.

After a gorgeous long hike, we were delighted to find a place to nourish ourselves so close to us…read more I have passed by this iconic Inn for over 40 years yet never stopped by. The exterior of the historical spot is gorgeous and the outside lawn, garden and benches are charming. Interior is dark as well as quaint. Featured are many historical collectibles and decor. As it was a lovely day, we wished to be seated on the patio but were told there was private event. When we peeked outside, there was not an event going on however, after we finished our lunch and walked to our car, we did see what looked like a wedding party on their way in. Kelly, our server, was absolutely delightful. She answered our questions about some of the menu items patiently. As this is a pub, we figured the fish and chips would be a shoe in. The chips (fries) were excellent and the fish was good (not great). My friend enjoyed her clam chowder yet the salad with beets was disappointing as the beets were canned and not fresh. I think if I came back, I would grab a cider or a beer and sit on the patio or out front and enjoy the sun and garden.

It's easy enough to find and the parking lot is a decent size, if you're a guest for the Inn park in the spot referenced by your room number. I went in the door and was greeted by the desk host, check in was as easy as they come. She walked me up to our room pointing out the necessary. Our single key worked on our room door but not on the outside door to enter the Inn as we were told it would. Yes we found WiFi once we got down to the pub the one modern convenience we needed but only two electrical sockets in the room, one in the bathroom. No flat screen, no AC, I found a space heater and a fan in the closet...Okay. we'll manage. The bed was quite high and there is a step stool to help climb into bed. Lots of yummy sheets and a quilt. The mattress was good, not great, two sides of the bed are against the wall. (Somebody's crawling over) The bathroom was small of course, only one in the shower, soap and stuff dispensers on the wall. Our window opened to the front yard, a nice ocean breeze kept us cool. Quaint and yet a bit noisy next door until everyone settles down for bed. Dinner downstairs (a separate review) After dinner we walked a half mile to Muir beach and enjoyed the sun set, perfect. No Pub partying for us these days, we woke up early for our Muir Woods adventure today. Included is a freshly cooked English breakfast (other options too) outside was cool, damp, and foggy this morning. Welcome to summer on the california coast. This feels like home. and that's where we are headed after our Redwood hunt. Martin-foodguy

Pancake Breakfast Review: The food is just a nice way to say thank you for supporting the cause…read more And while the cause is a good reason, it's only part of the reason to make this journey. Here, it's all about the journey and not the destination. If making breakfast were the actual reason this place existed, it would have gone out of business long ago. They are dog-friendly, but no dogs (service dogs excluded) are allowed on the deck or inside the building. Speaking of the deck: a gentle reminder to those who have finished breakfast, have empty plates in front of them, and are still leisurely sipping their beverages while people stand around waiting for a table -- you are not renewing a lease! Please give others a chance to sit down and enjoy their breakfast. The deck is communal seating, not a waiting room. Once you've finished eating, consider letting someone else have a turn. Be kind. Be aware. And, most importantly, don't be those people.

Be sure to book/confirm a room with a private bathroom, or you won't get one. Rooms are VERY mildewy and filled with all manner of junk - like staying in a garage during a garage sale. I coughed the entire time I was in the room. Everything feels cheap, disheveled and musty. Towels were hard & crunchy and left colored debris on my hands (as if they had never been washed.) Did appreciate the location & mini fridge. I washed cups before using to brush my teeth, but did NOT use towels, dishes/utensils, coffee maker or toaster. The bed and its unmatched/ill-fitting bedding seemed clean, but was VERY uncomfortable. Place needs a serious purge, cleaning & upgrade. Would not recommend or stay there again.

Eventually we got our room a little after 4:30. The staff only has 10 rooms to clean. We were on the bottom floor and the noise coming from above was terrible.

Room had a jacuzzi bath which I thought would be nice after a long day but when I tried to fill the tub, the stopper would not work. For as expensive the room was, it was a very very disappointing experience.
