WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

Great music on a Wednesday night with a friendly crowd and Jared, the bar manager stayed on top of all of it all night. Will definitely go back on another Wednesday!

Old timey flavor at the bar. Live music always happening! An old school establishment. Stop by on your way to or from Pt. Reyes and enjoy an adult beverage. Hard to go wrong here!

Ground zero if you are a deadhead. Intimate music venue!. Smiles and hugs and the small of dank nugs. Wednesdays nights are the bomb. Nice bartenders and lots of drinks and beers on tap.

We love this saloon. It is quaint, historic, and friendly. It is a bar with very little food available to eat although they have had homemade chili in the past. We stop by for a drink every time we go to the Marin coast.

Cool outta the way spot, attentive bartender and a lively local crowd. Jute box and television entertainment. Great spot for a drink after a nice hike at many of the trails in the wooded Marin area.

 

GANDHI K.

 

One of the oldest Saloon's in California. Some of the most talented musicians play out there and it's a truly great time!

 

CHALIN M.

 

Hidden gem and historic bar in one. Great service. Live music and a newer jukebox. Best of all they carry Pond Farm!
