Wanted to charge us a 10 dollar cover charge when the "set" was ending. Saying "we got good music" when there was no band playing. Place is mediocre at best, so the charge was uncalled for. If I wanted an expensive cover charge I would have gladly gone to Disneyland. read more

It's fer locals... laid back/live music/ easy to relax there. Nothing special but the town is a full on artist bohemian vibe. Cute unusual stores, some antiques, friendly folks and good hillside walking exercising while enjoying views of Bay. Carquinez Strait. read more

Checking out this place for the first time, friends invited us. Good ambiance, good strong drinks bartender was quick with our drinks. Plus they had a live band $20 cover charge. Pool table in the back room. Definitely will come back read more

Toots Tavern - Vodka Cranberry - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Crockett, California

Super friendly staff and patrons. I went on the first Sunday of the month to listen to High Card Drifters (pioneers of Gomer Punk!) and had a fantastic time! read more

Big Band Night! The Rockville Roadkill Big Band plays every first and third Wednesday at Toots Tavern. They played some tunes I had never heard before and new arrangements of classic big band music. An excellent band! World class. Highly recommended. Drinks are reasonably priced. Please note: Toots has no food except for nuts and chips, but they don't mind if you bring your own. read more

Came in on a quiet, chill Labor Day weekend around 4 pm. Ordered a Margarita in honor of Jimmy Buffet. Not sure how long I wanted to chill but decided to stay because service was quick and bar patrons were non intrusive. Music selection ran the gamut from REO Speedwagon to Spice Girls to some Indie stuff. TV was on to some John Wayne western. Bonus tips: bring cash cuz they have a $1.75 card fee. Save the fee for your tip. Take an Uber or walk if you're a local. Dog friendly - they even sit on the bar stools. read more

Been here for 200 years in one form or another. Weird decor, lots of tchotchkes to look at when you're drinking. Friendly staff and patrons. Great place to hear a story from an old local. Variety of drinks and beers. Casual place. Sidewalks out front look super old. Like going back in time. They have bands play all the time. Nice spot. Say hello to the bear inside. Check out the stuff that n the walls. read more

I went on Halloween night. Let me just say yikes. I'm not sure how this place has such good reviews. My one experience ruined it for me. The guy who was doing drinks that night had terrible customer service, made comments about me and my partners weight (which was weird), was making jokes that were weird and left all of us uncomfortable, and the cherry on top, he didn't know how to make any drinks since he was a 'sound guy'. Had to drink nasty drinks. The ambiance was nice and the music was great and the prices were fair. It was just the worker who ruined the night. Weird dude. The other guy working with the cast that night was chill, respectful, and professional. read more

When I first entered toots I thought it was rather small. I had no idea there was a back room for shows! The place is actually pretty nice and has ample space inside. Parking is a little tricky and the sidewalks are rather high as my friend fell off of one of them. I recommend this place for good shows and great gatherings'n read more

Fun small-town bar, really fun Grateful Dead nights, friendly people, nice stage for music and good vibes all around.

Stopped in for the first time in many years at the beginning of the month and I enjoyed a couple of early afternoon drinks with my boyfriend, and some light conversation with Matthew, who was bartending. He answered some of our questions about the bar and even welcomed us back for an event taking place the following weekend. Toots is a great spot for music (even as they opened there was good music playing, but live music can be heard here on weekends). I remember seeing a friend's band, Forrest Day, play here several years ago, and it's a great venue to listen to good bands! Bathrooms are clean and there's lots of seating at the bar. Friendly service, bar snacks for sale, and comfortable atmosphere - all the stars earned for all the great things about this local bar. read more

Toots Tavern - a man and a woman sharing a kiss - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Crockett, California

My new local. Bartenders are great, lots of regulars, very laid-back small town vibe. They've got Ghost Town on tap and in cans, which is big for me. About half the bar is a music venue and they get all kinds of acts in there. I've seen a great blues band (comprised mostly of the locals/regulars) and a rockabilly group just in the last week. Tuesday nights are karaoke. They're also right across the street from a great pizzeria and just down the block from a fancy sandwich place, so you will usually have some pretty good food options within easy walking distance. read more

Toots Tavern - View of the hills looking out from the front door on the corner. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Crockett, California

My wife and I stopped in and had a terrific time! The prices were good and the staff was very friendly and attentive even when they were very busy. They don't have food but there is an awesome sandwich shop next door that the bartender recommended and they let you bring it inside which is awesome, I also loved that they had 2 football games on the entire time I was there! read more

Awesome old school corner bar. Nice and dark. Lots of interesting decorations. Friendly bartender. Lots of regulars. Crockett is a unique place. read more

The bar itself is our type of place for sure. Angel the bartender was amazing. However, Jerry was not. We ordered a Hendrix & soda and a Malibu & coke. He poured a Hendrix & coke and a Malibu & soda. We quickly realized and mentioned it to him to have it fixed, no big deal. He pretty much accused us of lying and started arguing with us saying he knew what he poured and we were wrong. He was super rude to my mom and then claimed he didn't have her card. Another bartender helped him find it as he did have it behind the bar. Honestly, we thought the atmosphere and bar was great but won't be back because of him. It was an easy fix but he turned it into a bad experience for us. read more

Best dive bar in Crockett . Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, friendly staff. The kitchen was closed when I was there, so I wasn't able to try the food. Kinda hard to park in that town, so plan on a short walk. It's overall a great historical town and this tavern fits right in. read more

Fabulous people in a fun tiny town named,Crockett. I adore Crockett. It takes me back to small town suburban life. The local store, the local bar and so many beautiful views. Toots is a treasure. I am so glad they are still in business. The staff is exceptional. They are kind, witty and on the ball. They make a good drink, that's for sure. There are three rooms. The entryway is the 'bar room.' In the room they host live music, I saw A terrific Grateful Dead cover band in car of, Mr. Hat entertainment. He is a true treasure too. He never let the music die during the many pandemic months. Be sure to look for future evens out on, by Mr. Hat. They also have a pool room to the side of the room with the stage. I want to thank you all for a fabulous night. read more

We love this bar. Durivg the day it is a mild manered neighborhood bar and at night it is a music venue.

Toots is a fun small town bar that's been around forever! It's a must stop destination for anyone who loves great beers and drinks with their oive music. And I can tell ya' there are some amazing gems of bands playing here all the time! Any Friday, Saturday or Sunday the place will be rockin'! read more

Got there, bar side was pretty empty, got passed up 4 times before the bartender Jessica? came over. Ordered Tito's, they didn't have it. Ordered Bacardi, they didn't have it. Ordered Kettle One, third times a charm! Jessica seemed extremely annoyed that we were there in general. We paid, I tipped 50%, cause who knows- maybe she was having a bad day, sometimes being shown appreciation with cash fixes that. Nope, seemed to somehow make the situation worse. The venue is pretty cool, it's unfortunate the service was awful. read more

It was hot, I was thirsty, and my designated driver was hungry. It was a one stop shop. We had a ball. Cool place. I'd call it a dive bar but mean it in a good way. Food was yummy, service fast, and we left smiling. read more

Like beer? Love pirates? Do you enjoy free range dogs in your watering hole? Toot's will make your year brighter! This place has all that and more. Incredibly cheap beer, even cheaper alcohol, and more tacky decorations than your dead grandmother could ever wish for. When Billy Dee Williams was selling Colt45 to folks of questionable morals, this is exactly the kind of place he had in mind. Enjoy some beer, enjoy the bear even more. read more

It's time visiting toots. It's the perfect dive bar/live music venue. Cool people, bartenders friendly, and they know how to genuinely bartend...a decent pour(thanks I needed that) also, the bathrooms are clean. Lol I'll be back. read more

Toots is my go to watering hole when I'm back in town. Great beer selection, even better prices, and there's a bartender there named Kayla that's one of my absolute favorite people in the world. If you go when she's working you know you're going to get a great drink with a perfect pour and even better conversation! read more

Fun dive bar great music xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have been trying to get in contact with this venue for some time now (Upwards of 5+) weeks . No one had responded to me whether it be Facebook, email or phone call. I was looking to book a show there for a tour I had coming up. After weeks of no responses or beating around the bush, I was informed today that no one got back to me because my "demographic" doesn't appeal there (Black people and/or rap music) even after specifying what type of music I had planned. Once I told the woman who refused to put me on the phone with management that I wanted to BUY OUT the building, her tone changed and she was willing to work with me. I am very disturbed. Will be taking this situation further in addition to getting the opinions of my 300,000+ following via social media. -India H. @TheyLoveIndy (IG) read more

Wandered around neighboring towns and found this little gem. It was as if we had traveled through time and space. Interesting selection and full of random stuff. I'd visit again. read more

Toots is one amazing place. Whether I'm there meeting great people(and beautiful ladies), or playing with my band, or someone else's band, I always have a great time. The food is awesome, the drinks are awesome, and Laura is a peach!!! See you on sunday at 5pm!!! read more

It was my first time there, and had a great time! We seen a thrash metal show which was fantastic, go Blessed Curse! Everyone was cool, music was great, pretty good sound system for the small venue. Drink prices were good too. I took one star off because the parking wasn't great on the hill, and their location is a bit out there. If you're drinking, gotta be careful driving out of there in the back roads with no street lights. read more

Can't wait for the world to open again. Just don't show up too early as it gets boring quick--unless you can get creative about how to kill time--I paced around the town and exercised just so I could get a good parking spot. Maybe bars just aren't my thing (I don't like to drink much and only really like to eat healthy), but Toots Tavern is history that can speak itself with over 100 years of stories including its old speakeasy days. Btw, it's pronounced "tuts" like a Tootsie roll. So long live Toots, and cheers to any future events I will go to there. read more

Went to Toot's for a metal band battle and had a great time. Nice bartenders and great little place. Will be going back.

Good beers on tap, decent liquor selection. Live bands on the weekends are fun, and Tuesday is karaoke for the adventerous. Best bar in town. I love their staff and booze selection and live entertainment. Yay Toots! read more

A little small for a music venue, but it's fairly roomy. Workers seem very nice and always kept the bar room clean even with the large crowd. Bathrooms are not really my cup of tea being that there are no solid stall doors, it's just a curtain that you pull closed and hope no one yanks it open. This is a actually one of the better ventilated bars I've been to-it never got too hot or humid despite all the bodies in the building. read more

I'm really not sure why this place isn't more busy! Great music and good drinks, what more could you ask for?!? read more

Went to go see Pat Travers tonight for my birthday with my parents. Everyone was fantastic security, check in, bar tenders and the cook you only saw when he brought the food out. We've never experienced such quick friendly service and when we ran out they had their eyes on everything and asked if they could remove or refill what was there. I didn't get the names but who ever worked July 28th to the morning of July 29th I just want you to know how much we truly appreciated it. I really appreciated the man who took the time to see how I liked my drink and did it the best way he could really meant a lot since I'm not a huge drinker but, it was the night before my birthday and we were celebrating so thank you much. You guys are on top of it really appreciate it! read more

not a bad place, probably the best atmosphere in the area actually. I just felt that they were overcharging for drinks. Definitely recommend you get an itemized receipt at the end of the night. read more

The best music in the East Bay! Thursday nights has live blues/rock/jazz/country every week 8-12am. Musicians from all over the bay area come jam together. Always lots of horns and great talent, including Ed Earley on vox/trombone (Formerly Albert King, and currently with Elvin Bishop). NO cover charge that night ever! It's unbelievable! Drinks are very reasonable and the food is good with a pizza/pasta restaurant across the street who delivers. read more

It's alright. I went here one time, and I had fun. I didn't necessarily appreciate the emcee's remarks through the intercom, but the singers mostly did and so did the rest of the attendees. It's not the best place in the world, but when you go to Crockett, there isn't much more to expect aside from the cancer producing sugar refinery and a few mom and pop stores and restaurants. I went to see James McCartney (the son of Sir Paul) in addition to a bunch of local artists, and it was alright. The people who worked here were friendly enough to me, but not overtly friendly--very rational though. I don't have much more of a reason to go back to Crockett aside from driving through it on the way between cities, but if they have an event going on here that I might like, count me in. I don't live far from here, and the food here isn't bad I don't think (Been wanting to try the goat foods on the menu). Parking is not the best, but if you show up late enough for a show here, you can park virtually anywhere that isn't someone's property or "tow away." Just don't show up too early as it gets boring quick--unless you can get creative about how to kill time--I paced around the town and exercised just so I could get a good parking spot. Maybe bars just aren't my thing (I don't like to drink much and only really like to eat healthy), but Toots Tavern is history that can speak itself with over 100 years of stories including its old speakeasy days. Btw, it's pronounced "tuts" like a Tootsie roll. So long live Toots, and cheers to any future events I will go to there. So heck, you never know, I might actually be in Crockett for some other reason too, and I'll make sure to stop by and say hi. read more
