The Rewind Arcade in Sebastopol is definitely a fun place for those looking for some nostalgic…read moregames. Located in The Barlow, this family-owned retro arcade is worth checking out. The biggest highlight is the huge selection of pinball machines--more than 30, including both classic and newer games. They also have a collection of retro arcade cabinets from the '80s and '90s, along with modern games. I love that the games are regularly rotated, so there's always a reason to come back and see what's new. The atmosphere is fantastic. It really feels like stepping into an old-school arcade, but with a more grown-up, elevated vibe. The machines are well maintained, the staff are friendly, and it's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time playing "just one more game." I don't drink alcohol but I have friends who love the self-pour drink wall, with a selection of craft beers, hard seltzers and hard kombucha. There are also Japanese snacks and food options from nearby Barlow businesses, making it easy to hang out and make an afternoon or evening of it. The Rewind Arcade is definitely worth checking out! It's nostalgic, fun, unique and locally owned--and it's one of those places that makes Sebastopol such a fun destination

I have been waiting for them to open up and what a delightful surprise to support them on "small…read morebusiness Saturday". I truly loved the independent work and collections of folks there and it was lovely. The people at the register were very snarky and rude. Almost as if I was taking something but I had already provided the tag of the star I purchased. They were sure to get my items counted and paid for but did not get my bag to me until the kind blackberry Jam lady got it for me a minute later. Customer Service is important and you should work on this especially if you want to foster a spirit of community. Thank you for the Blackberry Jam and home made items I am grateful.

THIS is why we live in Northern California! A perfect day for an incredible food and wine event…read more Many of Sonoma's top producers are here including Grossman's, Valette, Tsar Nicholai caviar and Sol Food. They even had a solid Latinx band. Really loved the wines from Gloria Ferrer, Pech Merle, Muscarinic, Sonoma Cutrer Late Harvest Chardonnay and Coppola's Sauvignon Blanc. There could have been a few more chairs for breaks and some if the folks packed up early but overall, a too notch event. See you all there next year or at Taste of Sonoma next weekend.

Beware of scammers in this area. Specifically an older African-American. If he feels "nervous" he…read morewill manipulate authorities in order to take cash which was never rightfully his. Idiot had the balls to come back a week later trying to hand me a candy bar. I'm assuming it was laced with fentanyl because I saw him throw it away. Same man works downtown, frequents the Barlow, the downtown plaza, Starbucks locations, Safeway and whole foods. Also many employees of the businesses downtown are part of this scam. Don't spend your money here. I mean go ahead spend your money in the Barlow, but I wouldn't take money anywhere on main Street or anywhere in the downtown vicinity, definitely never ever ever show anybody that you have money here, they will definitely try to defraud you. If some seemingly sweet middle-aged blonde woman offers you a cup of juice, ignore her or refuse it, she does the exact same scam in the plaza while on her break. Her method is that she'll claim that the person stole the juice and that they owe her $15. Because she's an employee of a business she has more of the say than any random civilian walking around town, and the police are easily swayed to take cash from anyone. Also if you walk by the Rialto you might get hit in the head by a security guard for no reason other than he's mentally ill, and everyone likes hiring autistic security guards because they're nice and friendly normally. Basically if you see a Cadillac or a Buick you're about to get screwed for any cash you might be carrying as well as any personal belongings that the fraudsters want their hands on.

We had three young kids with a an ordered food right when we got here and food took forever, 1 hour and 45 minutes in fact for chicken nuggets and a salad. 1/2 of our order was missing so we had to wait an extra 15 minutes. 100% not worth the wait. I wish they would have let us know how backed up they were especially with kids - terrible experience

We ordered a lot of different foods off the menu and everything was packed with flavor! I was excited to see stuffed zucchini flowers and be able to introduce some friends to them. The service was fantastic especially there was only one person and in addition to our group of 7 there were 3 other smaller groups. My friend you rocked balancing all the things! Other than the sangiovese the bottle in my picture was our groups favorite!

Breanna was incredible, guiding us through every detail and was wonderful to work with. The entire team was so helpful the night of - from helping with our AV/ mics for speeches, taking care of our ~100+ guests, etc. The backyard space is magical at night with the lighting, and was the perfect option for us. The cozy vibe at D'Argenzio Winery created the perfect setting, and the entire night was beyond what we imagined. They also had tables, chairs, etc -- everything we needed which made it super stress free. We also really loved their wines, and got compliments from our guests! It was helpful to have beer options too for non-wine lovers. For our rehearsal dinner, Cibo Rustico Pizzeria was awesome - absolutely get the meatballs! The food was awesome, and set a great tone for the night. Thank you, Breanna, and everyone at D'Argenzio, for making our evening unforgettable. We can't recommend this venue enough!

In a nutshell, what this festival IS:…read more 1. Truly about books. This festival is at least half entertainment with readings and author panels, and then half exhibitors who sell their own books or are publishers or anyone connected with writing. It isn't a lot of people selling arts and crafts. 2. Uniquely supportive of independent booksellers. Unlike other huge book fests, it doesn't have B&N or Borders behind it. This gives it a unique flair, honoring the author's voice. 3. For the family. It includes a Children's tent and a Teen/Young Adult area. And then all the genres: poetry, nonfiction, mystery... 4. Grassroots. Perhaps this goes along with supporting independent booksellers, but it's more than that. The Sonoma County Library, the Santa Rosa Arts Council, and a lot of local organizations stand behind it. It was created by local librarians, educaters, and other do-gooder book-lovers who are local and actively develop it every year. 5. Free. They have some fundraising events (this and local sponsors pay for the event). The festival itself is open to everyone for free. What else can you get for free these days? Alas, if parking were too. (Speaking of parking, it's a good idea to plan before coming; 7,000 people come to the event so good parking involves good planning!) The Sonoma County Book Festival is on a Saturday in September. For this year it is Sept 20th.
