Finally went to Sonoma's this weekend! My husband and I moved to the neighborhood 2 years ago and have been talking about getting over here for a while. We were not disappointed! It has the atmosphere of a local dive bar (which is a good thing!) while not being dirty or run down or anything... Just felt like a relaxing, not fussy place where you could hang out and watch sports or play a card game at the bar and nobody would rush you out of there. There are dart boards, a ping pong table, one of those electronic game systems at the bar - it brought back memories of small town bars I used to go to before I moved to upscale Columbia.
And the food was really good! We both got a blue cheese bacon burger (which had some other name but I don't recall it). The burger was huge and had great flavor. Fries were crispy and hot and had good seasoning (I don't think it was Old Bay but kind of similar?). Their beer selection was decent and they appeared to have a full bar.
It's a short walk from our house, so I can see it being a regular spot for us, especially if we want to have a few drinks while watching a game. It's also super convenient to Lake Elkhorn, you just cross under Cradlerock way and you will be right there.
Looking forward to returning! They have live music on Friday and Saturday nights so that might be next on the list to check out. read more
