    In an area known for amazing beer, it's great there are also beer bars featuring local breweries. This one was a fun visit, it's a cozy old vibe, but with modern bar and alcohol showcased in a classy way. They have outdoor seating and also big open windows for fresh air. I didn't have food on my visit but looking at tables nearby everything looked big and delicious. I sat at the bar and appreciated the outlets. The tap list was long; they don't do flights but the bartender was friendly and let me do a few half pours to try some breweries I wouldn't make it to on that trip. Prices were reasonable as well. I loved that it overlooks Santa Rosa's main square, in a warmer month I'm sure it's a great spot to people watch and enjoy the fresh air.

    This was a spur of the moment stop one night and the place was all decked out for Xmas- over the top really. Everybody got appetizers which were fine. I got a burger and besides the slightly oily bun top the meat was fantastic

    We been here watching games and drinks at the bar mostly, lots of TV's. But this place is pretty amazing at Xmas, the decorations are amazing! Our server was excellent! The food is always spot on here, we tried the NEW chipotle ranch chicken sandwich, so good! Holiday drink menu is very creative, only deducted a star because seats at the tables are easy to clean I guess (metal) but uncomfortable, and made for shorter people, felt like my knees were higher then the seat when I sat down, I'm 5'8. But overall great place and a DJ some nights too.

    Cute place all dressed up for the holidays! They have happy hour from 2-6pm which is great. We had tacos and a burger. I did ask for the hamburger to be cooked medium and it did come out well done. By the time I got half way done with my red wine I realized there were 4 little gnats in it which either came to the table like that or flew in once at the table. It's unclear what happened but it wasn't the end of the world. We did like the food and will give it another shot someday because it was a great little spot. Our waitress disappeared after she took our order and we never saw her again and we had to ask another to get our check. Maybe it was just an off night?

    The food was amazing! We went for brunch on a Sunday and got great seats outside. The staff was so attentive and Nicole was incredibly nice. We ordered the chipotle ranch chicken sandwich and the brunch version of fried chicken and waffles (x2). I also had a couple Bellinis. Everything was wonderful and we will definitely be back for more!

    Super fun place! We ate tacos at the bar & chatted with one of the bartenders, Jesse, while he was making beautiful cocktails for people nearly non-stop. Sorry, no taco pics but tyey're bigger than street tacos A bit pricey but really good & the copper bar is super cool plus the wall... literally a wall of alchohol lit up behind the bar and bar tenders use an old rolling library style ladder to access the bottles when needed. The chicken tacos are good but the carnita tacos were outstanding after a 2 hour drive up from Los Gatos. Street parking is easy, especially if you don't mind walking a block or two. Downtown spots are metered but 3 blocks away they're free and actually there are parking garages nearby as well. I would go back again for sure.

    Pasta Fettuccini  Alfredo

    I went here for lunch and I ordered their pasta Alfredo. The pasta was all right for my personal preference. I feel like it needed a lot more flavor and salt. However, I will say I've had their steak dish before and it is a lot better. The only reason I didn't get it this last time was because I wanted something light. The bread that came on the pasta was actually pretty good . Service was great every time I've come here the service is always on point . The servers are always very nice and accommodating. This spot is definitely a mellow vibe during lunch. It's also reasonable. I mean it wasn't too shabby.

    Love the Chicken & Waffles & drink menu. Great staff- very attentive. An awesome place to catch the game , good food, drinks & hang out with friends!

    Breakfast chicken & waffle

    I went here for brunch with girlfriends. We walked in and second guessed our brunch decision as there was only one other table with two people eating. BUT we were pleasantly surprised by the super friendly staff, food presentation and flavors were are on point! The fried boneless chicken had the best flavor. We'll be back!

    Decent bar food (had mozzarella sticks and burger with garlic fries). Service was great, served was attentive. Beer was fantastic, selection needs to be updated. Would love to see more local beer options. Great atmosphere, next to the park, good music (not too loud), great outdoor patio area.

    This is a great place for tacos! Especially carnitas! I ordered chicken and those were good but the ones my boyfriend ordered, carnitas, are the absolute best. We sat at the bar. We love bar seating! We had the opportunity to meet one of the cooks, Adrian. We made sure to compliment him on the delicious tacos. Super friendly guy! Chris, Jesse, and Jake were also really interesting guys working there. Seems like one huge happy work family. The one lace was lively yet you can still hear each other talk without the need to raise our voices. I had a red glass of wine and ended up having a vodka cocktail. Specially made by the bartender. Secret ingredients. Maybe just ask for a special order if you're looking for a vodka drink. The prices are very reasonable. They only have street parking, but that wasn't an issue because we parked a very block away. Looking forward to going back for those carnitas tacos!

    Pesto chicken sandwich and garlic fries
    Monica F.

    Husband and I were eager for lunch at Mac's Deli.... Only to discover they were closed on Sundays. We were both starving and saw that Beer Baron was just a few feet away so we decided to check it out. It was a nice day so we opted to sit out on their covered patio. My husband chose their "Heatstroke" sandwich which was basically a spicy fried chicken sandwich, and I went with their pesto chicken sandwich. Food was served relatively quickly and everything looked great. My husband said his sandwich was very good but not really spicy. My sandwich had great flavor - I loved the combo of avocado and pesto- however my chicken had a strange texture, like hard rubber. I don't think it was any fault of the restaurant, just that the quality of the chicken wasn't stellar. It happens- I've had chicken like that in my own home. Everything else tasted great and we loved our fries (I upgraded to the garlic fries which were amazing). Service was nice and attentive. Atmosphere was nice aside from the flies (but what can you do when you're outside- perhaps some fans would be helpful). Their bar inside was gorgeous and I would absolutely return to check that out, and I'd happily return for food again.

    baron burger veggie style, burger good, garlic fries - HARD pass
    Tamara S.

    Almost empty on a Saturday at 4pm. Sat outside because wanted to enjoy the lovely 80* Summer afternoon. 5 minutes after we settled in some irritating zealot starting blasting how were all going to hell over a portable PA system at the park next door. Just great. There were sirens blaring on fire trucks and police cars off to an emergency and coupled with the general outside noise and the obnoxious zealot...not pleasant ambiance. Could have gone inside but even with doors open it was stagnant and too warm inside. So we endured the chaos on the outdoor patio instead. Bar food menu. Wings are described as oven roasted...yet when you ask one waiter to the next they will tell you they have recently been changed. And are deep fried. But not breaded. Perfect. We ordered plan with sauce on the side. Juicy wings w good flavor just "bare" really good. Beyond burger with garlic fries. SKIP the garlic fries. $2 up charge. Fries a bit raw. The garlic chopped abd plopped on top...also raw... So...yuck. Pineapple hard cider on tap. Very good. Yes to wings and pineapple cider. The veggie burger and fries I wouldn't order again. Service was good.

    Do they serve bottomless mimosas?

Sometimes I needed something and had to find someone to help, but the staff was always nice. As for the food, I started with the fried pickles. They were whole pickles, not slices. Felt like they would've been better as slices, since the whole pickle would slide out of the batter. Got the Hail Mary as neopolatin style and the Bare Knuckles as Detroit style. Both were tasty, but I wish the Hail Mary had more sauce. Tasted a bit dry, but I really enjoyed the charred crust. I ate it all. Not even my expert karate training prepared me for how full I got.

This place is located where the Cattleman's used to be, and while Cattleman's is nostalgic, I liked this food better. We started with a frosé. I wish I had the strawberry lemonade blended beverage, but alas, I didn't find out about it until after the frosé had arrived. It was ok and good for the weather, but I didn't like they put peach in it. It was definitely really hard at first, so if we hadn't have been sitting in the sun, it would have been annoying to drink. The fried pickle spears were up next. I love pickles, but my first and only time trying fried pickles was when @alicia threw a little soirée add had them. I decided to try these ones, and they were good, but I think I prefer the chips to the spears for fried pickles. It makes for a more even ratio of breading to pickles. Good fry on these tho. Liked the sauce they came with too. Omg the garlic fries were incredible. Great amount of garlic. Perfect fry shape. The fries almost tasted garlic infused rather than just having garlic sprinkled on top like most garlic fries. Wish they came with a garlic aioli tho. The caesar's, both kale and regular, were yummy. Excellent crispiness of the lettuce. Good amount of dressing. I wish it was more anchovy heavy, but I always think that. I liked the radish, but I do wish they put more pepper on it. The first shishito pepper I had was insanely spicy, and it kind of scared me. I persevered though, and the rest weren't nearly as spicy. I love a shishito pepper and love when they're on the menu. The pizza was yummy. It paired nicely with what we got, just a tiny bit of meat for an otherwise vegetarian girl lunch. Thinner crust if that's what your into. Cheese did slid off a little at the end which was a bit of a bummer. Perfect ambiance outside for a summer day or evening. I loved the fire pit and campfire chairs. great service and our server offered great recs regarding the drinks.

    Famous for their award winning beers, the Russian River Brewing Company was formed by the…read moreCalifornia Korbel Winery in 1997. The original brew master became the co-owner when the winery left the beer business in 2003. It was then moved this location in 2004, opening as a brewpub. It's been on my list of places to visit for a while, so my wife, her mom, and I took the opportunity to stop in for a Thursday night dinner on our way to San Francisco from Fort Bragg. The inaugural double IPA (aka Imperial IPA) was made by the current co-owner at a different brewery in 1994. Double means it uses double the hops and malts, and the ABV is quite a bit higher. He then created Pliny the Elder (ABV 8.0%) in 2000, recognized as the most famous DIPA. The track continued, with Pliny the Younger in 2005, a triple IPA (using triple the hops and malts with ABV of 10.25%). This version is available once a year in the spring, since it costs so much money and time to make. With so much malt being used, a large amount of time (and hops) is needed to balance. I've had Pliny the Elder in bottles before, and really liked it: I don't like the hoppy 'piney' taste in my beers, but also recognize that not enough will make the beer too sweet (which I've been facing with a lot my island beers lately). Parking is street only, but there was a lot of it, with the metered parking only requiring payment till 6 pm. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and immediately seated at a table near the bar. As expected, it was quite loud, with after work folks having a good time. We got menus, ordered our food, and then decided what to do about flights. The brewery is also known for their Belgian style and thus offers two different flights. It was my first time, and didn't know how much my wife could help, so decided to order the California Sampler (a selection of 12 different West Coast 5 oz. pours of ales and lagers for $15.45) to start: O.V.L. Stout (Old Vic Loyals) - Irish nitro stout - really beginning to love stouts, and this one was good. Velvet Glow - lager - solid. Ending up buying 6 pack to bring home ($12.99) STS Pils - pilsner. Bought a 6-pack for $12.99. Russian River Porter - Blind Pig IPA - West Coast IPA Happy Hops - Juicy IPA Mosaic Stack - West Coast IPA SimCoe 25 - West Coast IPA Citra Flash Mob - West Coast IPA Mind Circus - Hazy IPA DDH Pliny the Elder - really good. bought two cans at $5.99 each. Pliny the Elder - the original Felt pretty good, so decided to order the Belgian Sampler (9 different for $13.63), Surprisingly, I didn't like it nearly as much (my favorite fruit beer during this trip was the Howzit Punch beer). Petite Robert - table beer Little White Lie - Belgian White Robert - saison Perdition - biere de sonoma Damnation - golden strong ale Mortification - quad Supplication - sour brown ale Intinction - barrel aged pilsner Consecration - sour dark ale In terms of the food, it was solid. The 8 pc chicken wings ($17) were good, and the cheesy garlic bread ($10) was filling. I had the meatball sandwich ($16) and upgraded the fries to a spinach salad (+$4): it was tasty, loved the toasted French bread and marinara sauce, with the meatballs being OK (tasted from frozen)...loved the spinach salad with strawberries and blue cheese. We finished off our meal with a Vinnies (co-owner) sundae: good vanilla ice cream with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a lot of almond slivers. Payment was at the table, and me being again very pleasantly surprised at how little the flights were (a typical brewpub where they charge $3-$4 per 5 oz, would have cost 4 times as much...though of course I wouldn't have drunk as much either).

The pie comes out steaming hot with a nice layer of browned mashed potatoes on top. There is real crust to this kind of pie. Underneath the mashed potatoes is more like beef stew. Large chunks of tender beef and vegetables are sitting in a delicious Guinness stew. On the side, a fresh salad to go with it. For $24 the portion you get is perfect and along with a good pint of beer this is the way to go. I will definitely be back to try some of their other food!

    My family and I stopped by The Goose & Fern to watch a World Cup match because their website had…read moreadvertised that they'd be showing the game. My wife and I had just visited Abbey Tavern this past weekend, a premier Scottish pub in the City, and we expected a similar atmosphere. However, the moment we showed up, we were met with great disappointment. The Goose & Fern is honestly a terrible place to watch a sports match: there was only a single TV mounted in the back corner of the restaurant, the TV wasn't particularly large, and the speakers had been turned completely off. What a bust. Although the food was decent, especially the Shepherd's pie -- which came piping hot in a small cast iron skillet, the service was downright dreadful and almost non-existent. We never received waters (or were even asked if we wanted beverages), our table wasn't given enough silverware, we were never checked on during the meal, and we were waiting around for 30 minutes twiddling our thumbs before somebody from our party finally went up to try to pay for the check. In hindsight, a tip was not warranted for the lack of service. Overall, Yelp grossly misled me on The Goose & Fern. This is not a spot I would stop by again to watch a sporting match. If you're in this part of Santa Rosa, do yourself a favor and head over to Dave and Busters down the street where they have a bunch of massive screens, tons of beer options, and service that will far surpass what you're getting here.

    Came into try Brew for my morning matcha mission! Brew is a colorful cafe right on the corner of B…read moreSt and Healdsburg Ave. It has cute outdoor seating with umbrellas and plenty of chairs and tables inside without feeling cramped. It's got bar seating too! There's also some board games if you want something to play with friends over drinks. Ordered a 12oz matcha latte with almond milk ($7) and opted to have it unsweetened. Overall smooth but not too strong, and a tiny bit sweet probably from whatever almond milk they use! I like mine a bit stronger and it's not the best I've had but decent! "For here" mugs are always a plus in my book too. Brew is unique that it doubles as a cozy bar too once the late afternoon rolls around. They've got interesting events happening throughout the month posted on their sign. Some of their food and pastries are sourced from local Red Bird Bakery and Village Bakery too if you're hungry! Parking might suck, you could find street parking maybe on 8th St or if you're early you could park by the meters for free before 9AM. There's a $1/hr parking garage right nearby but if there's nothing, best to park at SR Plaza for free and make the 5min walk over. I really like the vibes of Brew and wanna come back for a happy hour one day! It's nice to see a very queer friendly cafe/bar rolled into one!

    I've always loved Brew and can't believe I've never written a review! I use to come here a lot to…read morestudy or write papers when I was attending the JC. It provides the perfect atmosphere for studying and not having a feeling of being rushed. This past weekend, my husband suggested we check out a cafe we haven't been to for breakfast. I mentioned Brew even though I have been there. He took a look at their social and menu and thought it looked pretty good! We very much enjoyed slowing down for a moment while enjoying our breakfast burrios and mochas. I love having my coffee in an actual mug when I'm staying at a cafe for a bit. It's just a nice cozy touch. The breakfast burritos were good but they could be mixed a little better. It was very sectioned by egg, cheese, potato and bacon. Like each bite only had one. Layering might help this but the flavor was still amazing! Brew is known for being welcoming to everyone and that has never changed. We love the environment and the service they provide!
