The Log Cabin is an absolute hidden gem in San Anselmo! My daughter used to play softball at the field there, and parents would hang out here after a game or two. We've attended a few events back in the day, and kicked it at the Dugout Bar, where Stacy kept the libations flowing. Also attended a nice retirement party recently; it was quite memorable. It's a perfect venue for any occasion with just enough people. There's plenty of parking for your guests. The indoor and outdoor spaces are ideal for event planning. Many moons ago, we even had a Photo Booth setup outside, as the weather is beautiful almost year-round. 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

A friend rented this for a milestone birthday and the venue was perfect for the group of about 40 with dinner and DJ and Photo Booth. There was ample space to dance and breathing room, and the airflow was great with the door open. The bar was off to the side which was perfect, and the staff were super friendly. Ample parking; a great spot for an event in Marin! read more

We went to my neighbors bar mitzvah at the log cabin. And it was magical great food, the whole cabin and the outside and the inside was really fun and quirky, but kept up very well and I would recommend it for any private party. read more

Magical venue! We held my wife's 40th birthday party there, and everything was superb. Sue helped me organize, recommended top-notch vendors, and everything went amazingly smoothly. Staff were uniformly excellent. read more

A really unique spot! The cider and scotch were both great, and the bartender was super friendly, sharing stories about the different drinks they offer. It felt like a true local hangout--everyone seemed to be from around San Anselmo, while we were the only ones from Larkspur. Most people came to play darts and pool, and you could tell there were plenty of regulars, some even bringing their own gear. Finding the entrance was a bit tricky at first--we accidentally walked into a room with chairs, but the actual bar is downstairs. Once inside, it felt like stepping into a movie scene. Huge thanks for keeping it so authentic! (They have a lot of different board games and a music machine.) read more

BEST KEPT SECRET IN MARIN!! Think local, Cheers-vibe, hidden gem of a bar, nestled in San Anselmo. The perfect place to gather with friends, enjoy live music on Thursday nights, or host parties and events in the upstairs hall...see Sue, she's the best! Part of me wants to keep it a secret, but the bigger part wants you all to be able to experience it too, so come on over and check it out. You'll love it here! Cheers! read more

My friend and I had an exhibition of our paintings at the Log Cabin. The interior has just the right combination of rusticity and quirkiness for our show--an actual log cabin, in fact. We had a jazz trio perform at the little stage at the far end of the "great hall" and there was plenty of room to stroll about and engage with the art. Sue M. is an absolutely delightful person to work with, extremely accommodating, efficient, professional and friendly. She came to my rescue as I'd forgotten a very important item prior to the event. Steve is an excellent bartender who went above and beyond in helping us keep the space tidy throughout. I'd recommend the Log Cabin and its personnel to anyone searching for a unique party or event venue! read more

We celebrated my daughter's Bat Mitzvah at the Log Cabin this past weekend and everything was wonderful. It was a hot day and I was nervous it wouldn't be comfortable but everything worked out great. We had 100 people and rented out the full space including the bar. Half the party sat inside, and the rest at the tables right outside the party room. We rented all sorts of games and had a DJ. Everyone had a blast. We loved having a party in our "backyard". The locals from San Anselmo were happy with the convenience and familiarity with the Log Cabin and everyone else thought the venue was so cool. Sue provided great recommendations on vendors and was super responsive to all my questions. read more

we had an amazing experience at the Log Cabin Sue was awesome helping us get all set up and all the staff was so helpful and kind. We couldn't have pick a better place for our even. Thank you so much! read more

The Log Cabin and its downstairs bar The Dugout are local institutions. We've had many gatherings over the years with local friends that have created great memories. The most recent was last night when I celebrated my birthday with about 30+ friends. We had pizza delivered, ordered drinks, played pool and had a fantastic time catching up with each other. You have to reserve the space when you're having an event of over 20 people, and the management couldn't have been more responsive, helpful accommodating and supportive. We love this place! read more

We hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks for our wedding in July 2024 at the Log Cabin, and could not have been happier with the results. From our first visit there, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Sue helped us to plan and organize the logistics of our event, and was very responsive throughout the process. She had great suggestions based on what we were looking for, and met with us multiple times to answer questions and brainstorm ideas for the night. The bartenders and staff at the Dugout Bar were AMAZING. They went above and beyond, and were incredibly fun and friendly with all our guests. It's such a unique venue space--we hosted the bar upstairs for beer/wine/champagne, but our guests also had the option to head downstairs to the Dugout Bar for cocktails they could buy on their own. We had about 100 people, and for that large of a group, it was very reasonably priced. They have plenty of chairs/tables inside for a meal, and an industrial kitchen if you need it. We had dinner delivered, but you could easily have catering done on-site. The interior is rustic and woodsy and exactly the vibe we were looking for. Our guests had a blast, and once our evening wrapped up, many of them stuck around at the Dugout to keep the party going. Every single person we worked with was fun, friendly, proactive, and helpful. We are definitely going to find an excuse to host a party there again. read more

Went above and beyond to help us in a pinch. We originally were planning a birthday party for our three year old at the memorial park picnic area next door but unexpected 30mph winds almost completely derailed the party. I called the log cabin 10 minutes before the party was supposed to start on Sunday and Sue not only answered but went above and beyond to write up a contract and open up the event space for us to rent on the spot. We had such a fun time and are so grateful for Sue and the Log Cabin team for saving our son's birthday party. The space is fantastic! Wonderful lights in the rafters, large enough to accommodate 50-60 people while still feeling cozy & not too big. Can't recommend this place highly enough. We definitely will consider any event here again in the future. Thank you again! read more

Log Cabin - Main room. Cupcake decorating - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Anselmo, California

The Log Cabin hosted my 40th birthday recently and it was absolutely perfect for the event! We had 100 people including kids and there was plenty of space to roam inside and out. All of the guests were impressed by the indoor space. I would highly recommend this location for anyone having a party or wedding. Also, Sue, the coordinator, was wonderful to work with. She is very accommodating and sweet. Great experience all around! read more

My husband and I had our joint 50th birthday here. We had about 70 people, dancing and cocktail food was served. It was such a wonderful celebration and started off with Sue who was the best host! Plenty of room for all. The bar downstairs was a fabulous bonus for people wanting to order hard alcohol. We had a bar set up upstairs, which was perfect! I grew up in Marin, had no idea that the Log Cabin was available to rent...had I known I would have thrown all our parties there! I highly recommend Debbie Ghiringelli catering- they were spectacular and recommended by Sue. read more

We had a great experience hosting our informal gathering at The Dugout. We did not utilize the events space upstairs. The new events manager Sue is lovely to work with. She was super responsive and friendly. The outdoor space with twinkly lights was festive and felt really COVID safe. Super easy to fit a large group with plenty of space for mingling. The bartender was great - never waited for a drink. Hope to host future events here and work with Sue again. read more

We had a welcome reception in the Dugout Bar the night before our wedding here in May 2022. We looked at a lot of places in Marin to host our reception and the Dugout Bar was the best for its price, beautiful outdoor space, large guest capacity, and location. Sue and Spenser were so great to work with - they were organized, flexible and accommodating. Sue can provide plenty of recommendations for catering and event rentals if needed as well, which was great since we weren't as familiar with Marin. Since they allow outside food and rentals you can really come up with any type of event you want - we did a take on a Chinese banquet that we thought worked really well, but you could do a lot with the space if you have the imagination! We had a fabulous event and our guests loved both the outdoor and indoor spaces as well as the pool table. Everyone was just having fun which was exactly what we had hoped for. Log Cabin has such a enjoyable, laid back vibe that we really appreciated and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to host an event here! read more

Great local bar. Planning to have a party there soon. You can bring in large groups for a very reasonable fee if you call ahead, and then just meet a minimum bar tab. They've got an outdoor space off the bar making it a Safe spot during the pandemic too. Nice alternative to partying at home. read more

What a hidden gem. A perfect spot to celebrate a birthday, wedding, host a fundraiser, or just hang out. There's a banquet room, kitchen, outside patio space, and fun funky dive bar. They are currently upgrading the facility inside and out and becoming Marin's first choice for an affordable event tailored to your meet your needs and budget. So welcoming and feels safe during these COVID times too. Their events and rentals manager - Sue, is responsive, friendly, and will take great care of you. read more

Never thought this awesome local organic serving food would be so flavorful and loved the homey backyard ambiance where pets are allowed & locals come. Love all the daily specials and the quality of food can be tasted. Good portion sizes. Breakfast & lunch have been amazing. read more

Hosted a 40th birthday party this past weekend in the upstairs space and had the BEST time! Sue, the manager, and the bartenders were a dream to work with and the space far exceeded our expectations. Charming, spacious and unique. Look forward to planning another event here in the future! read more

This past weekend we had a music group meet-up for 60 or so people with a bunch of performances by members over a 1/2 day. The Log Cabin was a spectacular venue for this. Great space, comfortable decor, nice breeze coming through the windows. Spencer downstairs provided stellar bar service. Lighting was superb and the Logcabin coordinator, Sue, was a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for a better overall experience! read more

What a great space! We had my wife's 50th b-day party with a band, dancing, caterer, and we used the bar staff from the Log Cabin - It was a great place and the staff made it easy and successful from the planning, to the event, to the cleanup and wrap up...Can't say enough great things about this venue and staff!!! read more

We just had a wonderful 60th birthday party at the Log Cabin. It was a pleasure working with coordinator Sue Marsh as well as Steve, the head guy (!), while putting together the event as well as during the event. We received great recommendations from them for both our DJ and our catering. I know that both Sue and Steve are in the process of updating many aspects of the location and soon it will only get better. I heartily recommend it for a fun place to have a fun party. read more

We recently hosted a decade birthday celebration for two San Anselmo dads and could not have loved the Log Cabin experience more! Every step of the process was just a joy. Sue, the event/rental manager is incredibly responsive and an absolute pleasure. The charm of the log cabin and its location can't be beat. And the quality of the people that they have to work at your event are top notch. Everything about the Log Cabin is a treasure. read more

We had our Middle School Dance at the Log Cabin and it was a blast! The space was perfect for a DJ, dancing and it didn't feel crowded at all with 70 kids running around. Next time, our theme will be a western party since the interior is already rustic, it would be perfect. Sue was a pleasure to work with and so helpful. We had a wonderful experience! read more

The Log Cabin was the perfect venue to host my husband's Western-themed bday party. We originally planned to have the event inside the Log Cabin, but due to Covid, we used the space outside the DugOut Bar and it worked just great. It easily accommodated our 90+ guests (who all happened to rave about the catering by Debbie Ghiringhelli Catering) and a terrific time was had by all. Sue Marsh was a delight to work with - she always immediately followed up every call or text query, paid attention to our every detail and wish, AND even joined us the evening of the party to make sure that all went smoothly. Although I am reluctant to have this special well-hidden Marin gem known by the wider community, I must shout it out that this is a fun venue and give it a many thumbs up. read more
