This was my first time at Crooked Goat Brewing in Petaluma and I was so impressed! The space is…read moresuper welcoming with tons of seating options, and I loved that they have a 21+ area while still allowing kids in other parts of the brewery--really smart setup. Plus, they allow dogs, which is always a win! When you walk in, you order at the bar and grab your drinks right away. They don't have their own kitchen, but they partner with nearby spots for food. I had some delicious chicken strips, and my wife enjoyed a burger on a gluten-free bun with sweet potato fries. You get a number, and they bring the food out to your table. Everything was tasty--exactly the kind of comfort food you want while enjoying a brewery day. I also had a flight, and I LOVE that their flights are 3oz pours. It's perfect for trying a bunch of beers and figuring out what you like. There were lots of choices, and my IPA flight was a fun tasting experience--I enjoyed every one of them. All in all, Crooked Goat Brewing made a great first impression. I'd definitely come back!

We had the most amazing experience doing the Lagunitas Brewery Tour…read more Cassidy was a phenomenal tour guide who provided an incredible interactive experience which included tasting, learning about the intriguing history of Lagunitas, and tour of the brewery happenings. It was a total blast! Afterwards we enjoy lunch. The menu has various options and portions are a big bang for your buck. The outdoor seating area even on a rainy day is welcoming and comfortable. Highly recommend the tour and afterwards enjoying a meal at this wonderful establishment.

After ordering a beer, I asked where to get food and was told there was a food truck out front. The only option was pizza, and it felt overpriced for what we got. To make matters worse, the heaters above the tables weren't turned on and it was cold. Maybe this place is better on weekends or during events, but the night we went it just felt empty and disappointing.

The beer selection is…read moreexcellent, with plenty of options for hop lovers, and the quality was top-notch across the board. I also ordered a few pints of their seasonal Big Chicken, which is an absolute must whenever it's available. Smooth, flavorful, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. The atmosphere was great--relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what you want from a brewery. As an added bonus, there was a Mexican food truck on-site during our visit, which paired perfectly with the beers and made the experience even better. One of the best parts is the location: it's literally across the street from Lagunitas, making it incredibly easy to turn your visit into a full brewery-hopping day. If you're in the area and enjoy craft beer, this spot deserves a stop on your itinerary. Great beer, great food options, great vibe, and a fantastic selection. I'll definitely be back.

Food is great too, we love the chicken wings, poke, and sandwiches. We recently tried their brunch menu (on mother's day) and it was delicious! Every time we've been our servers have been super accommodating and friendly. We especially love the hostess Bella. She goes above and beyond to help us and everyone else out! Even when they are very busy service is still 10/10. Definitely stop by!

My friends and I came on St. Patrick's Day at 6pm. (4 of us in total)…read more We had no issue waiting in line since we figured it would be a busy day. The environment is nice, so it was a good day to sit outside. We get seated by the host, who was very sweet. Our server was extremely rude, unkind and obviously in a rush to get us out of our table. Mind you- we didn't choose our table. Afterwards, we were ordering our drinks... and he wasn't paying attention at all and kept insisting my friend wanted a beer she clearly wasn't ordering. THEN, a different server came to bring our drinks. He was very sweet, and by accident he spilled a drink all over one of my friends. No big deal, he had 4 drinks on his tray, so we understood and told him it was fine. Our server then comes, and we asked if we could order our appetizers, and he rolled his eyes and asked rudely if we wanted to get our meals also. If it wasn't for his behavior, we would've liked to have tried the dinner options, but we decided to get our bill and leave. We didn't even notice if we got charged the spilled drink. We just wanted to pay & leave. The wings were pretty good, sad that an interaction like that can change an entire mood and setting in your night.

This was such a major disappointment! I came here on a Sunday evening with my boyfriend before…read moregoing to a concert at Mystic Theatre. I had been to the block before about a few years earlier and remember it being lively and fun filled with a handful of food options and a packed bar. This time, the establishment was almost completely empty with only two food options: the barbecue or the pizza. Both menus were extremely limited in terms of available options. I went with the barbecue platter and my boyfriend went with two slices of pepperoni pizza. While the pizza was decent, but nothing to write home about, I would never order that barbecue platter again. First of all, the mac & cheese that it came with was more like overcooked buttered noodles without seasoning. The pulled pork and the coleslaw tasted old as if it had been sitting out at room temp. I also thought it was weird that they gave me potato chips as another side, but to eat their own. The only thing I actually enjoyed were the side of pickles and who knows if those were even made or from a jar. It was cold outside, so we decided to sit under the enclosed portion of the building and flies swarmed us - they were everywhere and we were continuously swatting our hands around to try to get any relief. It was miserable experience and as soon as we were done eating, we just wanted to leave. I can see why people were not here after the disappointment my boyfriend and I felt.

Exploring all the breweries in a smaller town like Petaluma doesn't take much time. Ads for Two…read moreRock Brewing led me here, their hours weren't correct online so I had to come back later the same day. This is a shared outdoor event space with restaurants, bars, and stage for live music. There was a good amount of people there, probably gets busier during events. I asked the bar about the brewery and was told there was currently only one selection from them on tap which was disappointing. It wasn't the most comfortable place to enjoy a beer either. Even if there had been more to experience, I probably wouldn't have bothered going back. One other note, the restrooms are singles and with so many people there was a long wait to use one. I'd imagine that'd be worse when busy.

Walk inside and you feel like you're at a cool party! Every bartender/ mixologist knows their stuff making well crafted cocktails. All the ingredients going in the drinks are quality. Griffo is fantastic with offering up both fabulous live music and DJ's. On nice days the warehouse door slides up offering more seating and quite often a tasty food truck. Additionally their spirits are offered to purchase there. I picked up a wonderful vodka, a gin as well as a delicious shrub syrup to add to cocktails.

I'm not a beer person, but there's plenty of light cider options that keep me happy. Like most Sonoma County breweries, they rotate food trucks so there's always something new to eat while I pretend I'm there for the craft beer scene. The vibes are fun, it's family friendly and huge with lots of seating although it can get a bit crammed. Perfect summer hangout spot. Overall 9/10.

My experience on a Thursday night:…read more Arrived at 5:50 pm - Nobody at the hostess station. 5 minutes pass, hostess arrives and sits us. Odd. Seated and try to make eye contact with the 3 servers/helpers running around - nobody will make eye contact. This is not good. Finally flag down our server and order a beer. Runner is quick with the beer. Its looking up. What occurred over the next 15-20 minutes was a master class in ignoring a table. Our server passed by our table on at least 10 occasions, she was assigned tables in no logical order .... zooming to the back, outside, inside and wherever. Her eyes firmly focused on her little handheld computer every time she passed. During this time, she greeted other tables, carried waters, beer/drinks, took orders, spent some time communicated with other staff. She was working ... but we were ignored. 6:20pm - We are done. This place sucks. Finally got her attention and paid for the beer and walked over to Luma Bar and Grill where we received 5 star attention. To her credit she apologized and offered to comp the beer, but I refused. Paid her for the beer and a $1 tip because the real issue was created by management. 1. Beer was cold and quick to our table - 2 stars. 2. Food - No comment because we could not order in a reasonable amount of time (within the first 20 minutes of sitting down). Couldn't order an appetizer (was going to try the poutine with bacon) and and a few entrees and more drinks, but that was not possible this night. 3. View - Good. 4. Management - Never saw an obvious manager helping, just servers, a runner and bartender. That said, if you are going to operate the restaurant understaffed and not be on the floor then you need to have your servers work in sections and not have tables sprinkled throughout the restaurant. 5. Staff - Needs training, at a minimum, make eye contact and let your guests know they have been seen, which will go along way in getting some grace. A simple acknowledgement that "I see you and will be with you shortly" is fundamental to getting a 2 star v. 5 star review because we all get the fact that you were understaffed this evening.
