Someone recommend this place, and I wanted to try it. Well, lucky me, as it was a very nice experience. It's good for anyone, the whole family or the whole sports team if needed. Food come in, like, under 5 minutes. Staff, extremely friendly and nice. The brisket was awesome. So, I do recommend it to you All. Enjoy.

Fun, energetic and happenin' place! Great food options and service was outstanding! Our group had chicken sandwiches, burnt end mac n cheese, shoshito peppers and a sampling of different beers! Ambiance was fantastic - live music, tv's, games and picnic tables galore! Kid friendly. We made reservations.

Brewsters is a fantastic outdoor/covered dining destination, especially for those who enjoy live music and a lively atmosphere. The vibrant decor, particularly during Halloween and Christmas, is festive and truly over the top, adding to the overall charm of the place. It’s a great spot for families and large groups to gather, but be sure to make a reservation to secure your spot, as it can get busy. With its welcoming vibe and delightful ambiance, Brewsters is hands down one of my favorites to take people. An amazing and enjoyable place to relax and unwind.

Get the duck fries haha! Really cool spot in Petaluma my boyfriend and I stumbled upon. We were just looking for some barbecue and we found a great outdoor patio space with some live music and good food to go with it. I think it’s a great stop on your way up to 101.

if you are in the area, this is a super chill spot to hangout and have some yummy food and beer. Parking was a little rough, but you won't regret it.

We came here during Happy hour which is Monday - Friday between 3-5pm. The drinks and food were very reasonably priced during this time. The atmosphere of this beer garden is very nice and good for socializing. It's nice that they had the heat lamp on even in the afternoon, since it was slightly chilly outside.

As others have mentioned, the food is not great. It's slightly bad. But, you don't go to a Christmas spectacle for food. The place is just insanely festive. It was exactly what we were looking for and we had a great time. There's tons of space, so no issues with crowds and the service was great! I had the brisket poutine which was kind of like fries and brisket in a watery cheese soup. Do not get this. I also had the iced hot chocolate cocktail which was ok, but don't expect anything creamy, rich, and delicious. I'm still giving this place 4 stars bc I loved it. I don't care about the food.

Great place to eat, and have a few Brews. Food, service were good too. Live music was a plus.

I've been a huge fan of this of establishment ever since I moved up here to the bay area in 2018. The service has always been fantastic and they've always been very flexible and friendly. Their drinks are always perfect, and not to mention, there very special pop-up, they have during the holidays. Did I also forget to mention that the ambience is always on point!! This establishment leaves nothing to desire, as they offer delicious food. My favorite is their Macc cheese with bacon, wings, and fried chicken sandwich. This is a place you must visit when in town.

We came last month during the holidays based on recommendations as a holiday hot spot. 5 stars for holiday lunch hangout! Love how it's over the top. Love that on a Sunday afternoon they had live music. Love it all. Drinks - as mentioned Sunday lunch they were out of the ingredients to make one of their signature cocktails. Bummer.. as they weren't really busy. I got a recommended drink and it was not to my liking. The server offered to have another drink made which was wonderful on her part and my basic mixed drink was fine. For appetizers we got the burnt ends Mac and cheese and the delicata squash seasonal app. The squash was beautifully platted and delicious!! It came with a kale pesto the flavors were wonderful and it was not something we see on other menus. Mac and cheese- on its own it was bland overly saucy cheesy lol I don't know how to describe it I'm going to assume they don't used blocks of processed cheese - but it had the texture of a block of melted white velvetta. We shredded the burnt ends and added bbq to the dish and mixed it and it was good lol so super white trashy delicious lol Hubby got the burger I got the chicken sandwich. Both came drenched in a white sauce. I would get this sauce on the side and add as you see fit, for me it was too much. Would we go back- maybe for apps

This place is amazing! It's incredibly festive during holidays which is when people often line up for! This is the 2nd year I have been to this place during Christmas break and it's pretty magical! People don't cone here for just beers, Food is also great! I have had their famous chicken sandwich here: juicy chicken and mazing aioli! Their fries are fried in duck fat so it's very tasty and hefty in the tummy! This year, I brought my family as well and I got their winter salad with a side of fried chicken twice! It was delicious! My husband got a half rack of ribs: very tender & sweet but had fiery and smoky flavor and we also had a side of Mac and Cheese. Their Mac is on a sweeter side, not a favorite but not bad. Their cocktails are amazing! I have tried 3 so far: *yippie kiyay m-****fcker (very tropical and creamy and sweet) *Chrismapolitan - loved this! Quite boozy *The Krampus - if you love mezcal, smoky and spicy flavor The space is great! The decors are outstanding, the parking is very limited during holidays so plan ahead. Always recommended to get a reservation!

The two times I've been here I've always found this place to be a great place to hang out for drinks and food. The entrance is down by the river walk area which is open and feeds directly to the patio seating. The crowd is a mix of people from families to couples and so on. I guess they also have live music on certain days and would say weekends. On this last visit it was pretty crowded but the line moves fast to find seating and the place was well decorated with Christmas items all over. Maybe too much but was still pretty neat. The menu and food we saw looked good on this occasion, I went with their SANTA'S SHO-BURGER that was dressed in aioli, pickles, onion, lettuce, white cheddar and duck fat fries. Very tasty. Along with it we ordered for appetizers the local wings. Very meaty and tasty too. Service here has always been good and plenty of people to assist, which is nice to find. If your ever in Petaluma definitely give Brewsters a go for a nice casual beer, food and hang out.

Brewsters is a holiday must do if you want a Christmas immersive experience. Highly suggest making a reservation if you can. One of my friends without reservations waited over an hour for a table, so be aware of that. The workers here are super nice and friendly. However our experience this year was very different. We were seated at the worst table; heater didn't work and I think the area we were in was generally ignored. It gets very busy but I hope next time they could have someone help out our poor server. It took about 30 mins before we could actually put our first order in. It was hard to even get orders in since she was mainly focused on the larger groups. It defiantly deterred us from ordering more drinks like we wanted to. There was a group behind us that was larger than us but they had been ignored for a good 30 mins before they became visibly annoyed and had to reach out to another worker. You mainly pay for the experience and atmosphere in my opinion. Which I don't think it's worth it. $16 for decorative drinks that barely have any drink in them. Cute! But not worth it. The food was disappointing for the price. My friend ordered ravioli for $22 and there were perhaps 8 raviolis on the plate. The only item that was worth the price would be the burger. Everything was good but not stellar. Overall, I liked coming here for the decorations and atmosphere. However I don't think I'd be coming back next year. If I do then I'll just stick to shots and maybe an appetizer to share.

A creatively designed theme; the place was well decorated with a Christmas theme and matching holiday lights. The place was filled with a cheerful, holiday vibe and great service. The brisket was delicious, although a bit dry. The burger was juicy and nicely cooked. The fries were cooked in duck fat and have a crispy exterior and soft interior.

Brewster's is truly one of the most magical spots to visit during the holiday season. The entire restaurant is transformed into a festive wonderland, with sparkling Christmas lights and decorations that create a warm, cozy atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can't help but feel the holiday spirit as soon as you walk in. The ambiance is vibrant and lively, and the staff are all incredibly friendly and attentive, making it a pleasant experience from start to finish. I always look forward to coming here to soak in the festive vibes and enjoy the seasonal decor. The holiday lights are definitely a highlight, and they really elevate the entire experience. However, while the atmosphere is spot-on, I found that the food and drinks didn't quite live up to the same level of excitement. I tried the holiday drinks, which were overly sweet for my taste, and the poutine fries, which unfortunately were a bit too salty. While I love the concept of both, the flavors didn't hit the mark for me this time. The food could use a little balance, and the drinks might benefit from dialing down the sweetness. That said, the magic of the holiday decorations and the overall festive feel definitely makes it a fun spot to visit during the season. It's worth coming for the ambiance alone.

Went here a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised by the great service, good food and ok drinks. The drinks are pretty and very christmassy and I love the cups they come in, but I am just not a fan. We came on a Tuesday specifically to see the Santa that gets there at 6PM, or reservations was for 7PM and we never saw Santa so that was very disappointing for all especially the kids. Our server was amazing I wish I got her name for a shoutout. We had a group of sixteen 8 being young kids and she took great care of all of us.

Brewster is an absolute must-visit during the holidays. While I've been here before during the off-season, the Christmas decor is next-level--it truly feels like a winter wonderland. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the abundance of lights and festive decorations everywhere. We made reservations and were seated right away, which I highly recommend since it can get pretty busy. Although our table only ordered drinks, they do offer a selection of meals and bites as well (food and drinks are okay). The service was great--our server was attentive and checked in on us frequently. If you're in the area during the holiday season, definitely stop by Brewster for a magical experience!

Decent food, bustling restaurant, insanely festive for Christmas, bar-none for a family friendly restaurant (families, kids, friends all around and so much seating at the big beer hall style tables). This is a pretty neat experience for the holidays. I was skeptical before we visited because I'm not a very "festive" guy and I value how good my meal is over the ambiance or novelties.. However, this place is pretty nuts. Absolutely studded with Christmas decor and there were hundreds of people dining here. The staff handled this volume of people like it was normal, and for them I suppose it is. They have a good system down in this joint. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich. Don't expect a Nashville hot chicken sandwich or a super juicy, thick souther fried chicken, but go in with expectations of something that has some good flavor, (the white sauce was actually really tasty) and if you go with the side salad, be sure to get an al la carte side. If you go with fries, they give a large portion, although not very good, they'll fill a hungry stomach. I do have to mention the burger my wife got was actually really tasty. I would very much recommend that. If my sandwich was a 3/5 I'd say hers was a 4/5. Nothing SUPER special, just a very solid burger and they cooked it to a perfect medium rare. I also got to try a little bit of the smoked pork spare ribs. I'm a snob on bbq, nothing is usually as good as what comes off the smoker at home. These spare ribs were actually really delicious. Nice smoke flavor but not overwhelming, not fall off the bone but tender enough to pick up and easy take bites out of it. Overall, come at least once to experience it or like my cousin, come yearly as part of your Christmas tradition- I was happy to be a part of that tradition this year while visiting. 3/5 food 4/5 service 5/5 for the atmosphere 4/5 overall

This place is a fun happening place with tons (and I mean tons) of outdoor seating. You can also choose to sit inside, but it is somewhat open, but at least they do have heaters above each table. Beer selection was really good - food was decent. Nothing out of the ordinary just your typical pub food... would definitely go here again.

Great spot I have been visiting for years - but had neglected to give and love. Recently visited on a sunny day to enjoy the patio. As always the place was well put together - though they were in the petcare of putting up what looked to be a truly epic Christmas install including a million ornaments and full sized sleigh. I don't know what the plans are but it looked ambitious. The menu is a good mix of sandwiches, BBQ, and some terrific starters and salads. Most people should be able to find something they like. They also offer a spectacular selection of local beers and wine. Though I have had the BBQ before and it is indeed very good - I had the fried chicken sandwich which was fantastic.they put a melted cheese sauce on it the elevated to a special category. Burgers are also outstanding. If you are in the age looking for a good quick bite, or liking for a lace to drop in work a big group - Brewster is set to impress!

Plenty of tables and seats at this brewery! The Cobb Salad comes with roasted chicken and I added an additional protein of Burnt Ends. They have a kids menu with 4 items, hot dog, chicken tenders, and 2 more I can't recall. The food comes out quickly and the ambiance of the place is fun. I can't wait to come back and try the other items such as the ribs, brisket and other appetizers. The menu isn't overwhelming which I appreciate but the prices are pretty high. A kids chicken tenders meal with fries is $15 and the Cobb Salad is $21, and additional cost for Burnt Ends.

Our favorite time of year at Brewsters, the miracle Christmas pop-up! We were seated relatively quickly without a reservation on a Wednesday around 4 PM. Almost all the tables have heaters within distances to make sure you are warm enough since it is an outdoor bar. The decor was beautiful and festive and it really gets you in the spirit for the holidays. Love that it's kid and pet friendly. All the staff were accommodating and welcoming, will definitely be back before the pop-up ends!

Such fun Christmas atmosphere!! Winter wonderland in one room! I love it here. We come every year! My favorite is the chicken sandwich. I feel like it can be a hit or miss but this last time it was on point. The drinks are a hit - I had the koala lalala. I will definitely be back if at least this time of year

You must stop here!! We were at the pool hall right next door and the smell alone brought us to Brewsters even though we already knew we wanted to stop here. The wings, shishito peppers, and ribs are amazing. There were 3 of us and we split these three dishes and left with leftovers. The staff is super friendly. They have live music, sports games on at the bar, and the seating area is huge! We love it here! Will continue to come back when we visit Petaluma!

We stopped by this place for Sunday dinner at Petaluma and I think this was the best decision ever. The restaurant is very festive with excessively Christmas decorations. They have outdoor area with outdoor heaters. Pet friendly. We only had to wait 10 min to get seated without reservation on Sunday night. The food is good and price is reasonable for the beautiful decorations. The service was amazing. Surprisingly we didn't even have to wait for hours for our food to be served since they were extremely busy.

WHAT a fun place. Had the grandkids and daughter with me driving around trying to find somewhere kid friendly before the pumpkin patch and stumbled upon this place!! Such a cool spot with a huge outdoor area as well as a covered area. Live music was playing with interaction with the kids. They had a yodeling contest for the kids who walked up to the stage. It was sprinkling pretty heavily but nobody seemed to mind and just opened up the umbrellas at each table. Food was tasty and presented nicely. Kids meals were full size meals and also $15. Next time the kids will share. They have a huge selection of beer and craft colas. Looking forward to the next visit because the menu looks like a lot of fun!!

Today, Wednesday 12/18/24 - myself and friend made 1200 reservations- our first time here. Sat down outside, numerous heaters hanging from above and both Taylor and Haley took care of us. Ambience, Christmas music was playing, numerous people having a grand time, decoration was amazing - Christmas decorations, it was just beautiful! This place is huge, many different unique little areas to sit in, 2 to 3 Christmas parties were happening, the place was just so much fun and so festive! My friend and I ordered drinks, I ordered old-fashioned, and even the ice cube on top had a Christmas theme and then my friend ordered a fried chicken sandwich, and I ordered braised beef short rib. Both orders were brought out, and it was super delicious! The beef just fell off the bone, delicious! If you're in the Petaluma area, it is a must to stop in and check this place out, see my pictures and pictures of the menu. Thanks, Haley and Taylor!

Came for lunch today on a weekend getaway. I remembered my first experience meeting friends here, where I enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich. As the first time, the chicken was moist and tender, cooked perfectly. A single diner, I ate at the bar and was given great service. The place was buzzing with activity on this Sunday, with holiday music and sprit. After I stuffed myself, I saw someone's plate of ribs..they looked succulent....will have to try that next visit!

Petaluma will always have a special place in my heart - our wedding destination filled with such great memories! Brewsters Beer Garden is apart of those memories - we had our welcome brunch here and returning last weekend, it was like no time had passed. Although the weather was on/off raining, we snagged a table indoors and there were plenty of heat lamps to keep us extra warm. The staff was stellar per usual and we ordered fried pickles, the warm salted pretzel with beer cheese/mustard, and the poutine with brisket. So delicious and comforting! Petaluma is known for their meat & dairy, but having a friend who was vegetarian with us, Brewsters def had options for her to enjoy. She loved the black bean veggie burger, and I split the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and the kale salad with a friend. That was plenty for us, with no room for dessert (at least in the moment, ha!) From the duck fat fries to the thick bacon atop the sandwich, the fresh golden beets sliced within the kale salad, and the house made pickles used for the starter, every inch of this place uses the most fresh and divine ingredients that are sure to put you & your party in a happy place! Brewsters has a great cocktail/mocktail menu, wine, and local draft list. Happy hour is also Monday-Friday 3-6p, serving up a fun list of treats. There's plenty of parking spots outside & the restaurant is both kiddo and dog approved..cheers!

Wow! The hostesses couldn't be less interested in helping the customers. 4:30ish on 10/26 in case the owners/managers want to know who was on staff. No smiles (RBF if I'm being honest) racing ahead of customers, no greeting other than, "How many? Inside or outside?" "This way." All three hostesses displayed the same stoic demeanor to all of the customers. Then our waiter, who was an okay waiter, decided to have a discussion with one of the hostesses on the floor about not seating enough people in his section. Tacky. Now to the food... The poutine was not like any poutine I'd ever had. It was like soggy French fry soup... We asked for the brisket on top, and it was floating in whatever broth/white liquid the fries were drowning in. It certainly wasn't gravy. The Mac and cheese was tasteless and slightly sweet tasting. Weird. It was supposed to come topped with burnt ends, but maybe they were out of that because we got chunks of brisket that they seared on one end, not burnt ends. The burger of the day wasn't great either. Ordered it medium and it came very well done. Guacamole was under-seasoned. $128.00 for 2 terrible appetizers, a mediocre burger, and a couple rounds of beverages. Not worth it at all. Now the best part... went to the restroom before leaving and there was no paper in the stall!!! I was stuck in there with nothing but toilet seat covers. I was here about 18 months ago and had a much better experience. So I thought we'd try again. I don't know what happened between then and now, but I won't be back.

Well, I really wanted to love this spot, but.......lots if hype for the over the top Christmas decor but it was cheap and tasteless and tons of it. Service was good. Wait staff clothing was the best part of this experience. Ugly and quirky sweaters with funny phrases, pj's, full body Christmas tree costume with gift boxes for shoes! Menu options and food were odd...... BBQ, Ravioli, salmon with caviar, burger, fries with duck fat oil. My sister had the pumpkin ravioli. The portion size was that of an appetizer and served with nothing else. I had the salmon with cream sauce, topped with caviar and chanterelle mushrooms on a small wilted bed of escarole that had ok flavor but lacked salt and was barely luke warm and a small portion. Mushrooms had the best flavor. Shared the fries that were plain and nothing special. Spent nearly $90 to leave underwhelmed and still hungry. Come for a tacky photo op, but skip the food and save your money.

The Christmas stuff is fun, but goodness the service is HORRIBLE. It always seems like no one is happy to be there, and annoyed when we want to order more than 1 round of drinks. It's impossible to get anyone's attention too, I've had to wait 20+ minutes before when trying to flag down a waiter for help. The only time of year I willingly go here is during the holidays when they have all the Christmas decorations and festive drinks, but honestly that's not even worth it anymore considering how many other bars are doing festive drinks now. It's a super cool space but sadly the service is sub par. And very expensive for what you get too.

First time there today and we walked in, young brunette hostess was there and didn't greet us so we continued to walk in. We sat ourselves down at a table and we waited for 20 mins and no one came to give us a menu or ask if we've been helped yet. I then got up to ask the host if we grab our own menus or if someone will bring them to us, she told me I'm supposed to go to the host stand and wait to be seated. She saw us multiple times sitting at the table and dint say anything to us. We got upset and left without service.

I am not a beer garden person, as I rarely drink, but I enjoyed my lunch here. There are a lot of table on the outside space as well as tables inside close to the bar. The patio is dog friendly which is a plus for us dog folks. Friendly greeting and good service throughout our visit. Nice drink and food options including barbecue and other better-than-average elevated pub food.

Guess who's back, back again? We're back - because this is our annual holiday family tradition! Brewsters goes ALL OUT for the holidays, and it's a spectacle you need to see. Their level of decor grows each year - simply unreal to witness in person! We even went after Christmas, and it got us back into the holiday spirit. There was a line upon our arrival and we kicked ourselves for not making a reservation, but ended up getting in. SPACE: The space is massive - tons of options with different holiday decor during the season. DRINKS: We came during the holidays, so they had the Miracle pop-up drinks back - we enjoyed our drinks but also love Brewsters' usual drink menu too! FOOD: Has anyone ever come here and not ordered the burger, chicken sandwich, or carrots? Those are hands down our favorite things on the menu (and to eat in Petaluma) - massive meal portions on the handhelds, and the carrots are to die for. SERVICE: Friendly, upbeat, hardworking, and helpful. We always enjoy connecting with the staff there! AMBIANCE: Is great. We usually end up chatting with our table neighbors at their biergarten-style benches and I love that. Good vibes all around!

We went for monday night bingo and it was so fun! Such nice people and staff, prices were cool as well. We got the $1 wings deal and some fried pickles that were DELISH. My dog felt so comfortable there and it was nice to bring her along. It is outdoor only but they have heating lamps and a nice little bonfire, huge bar with great beer selections. 10/10 recommend

Brewsters is one of my favorite Petaluma restaurants! The service is always great, and the food is incredible. This time I came on Wednesday for trivia night, and the trivia was so fun! Our whole table was able to participate and there was great variety within the categories so there is something for everyone. I opted for a margarita, and it was just right - not overly sweet, which is essential for me. Their extensive beer selection and specialty cocktails never disappoint. For my meal, I went with the fried chicken sandwich, my usual favorite. And their fries are something special - thin, crispy, and delicious. Overall, one of my fave Petaluma restaurants!

Brewsters was recommended by a few friends while I was in Petaluma and so I was surprised to see the 3 star rating. It's a fairly large, outdoor garden and I quickly got a seat at the bar (during a Sunday football game). The service at the bar was timely and friendly, which seems to be a one off experience? Idk, I thought everything was fine. I started with a cocktail and I was surprised at how strong it was, so we started off on the right foot. The duck fat fries were very tempting but I knew I wanted tacos so I decided to just get those. I enjoyed a draft Pilsner with two birria tacos and everything was delicious. I'd rate my visit 5/5 if not for the tacos being a higher cost than you can probably find elsewhere (2 for $16). With that said, I enjoyed everything I ate/drank and would come back without hesitation.

Brewsters is a great place to go during the holidays. They definitely put a lot of effort into their festive atmosphere, and it's definitely a fun outing to do with the family around this time of year (December). However, it's very busy which makes it chaotic and loud - something they really have no control of, and something to expect when going here for their holiday "miracle." Parking is atrocious (also something to expect, and out of their control) but also not considered in the allotted time for your reservation, so arrive early. The food was actually pretty great this time, we enjoyed everything we ordered to eat, but drinks are just okay. Drinks here are really more about the novelty - served in cutesy festive cups but do not taste like anything spectacular which is disappointing because drinks are $16 each and they do not make substitutions if you want an ingredient omitted from your drink. If you have a large party of 6+ they add on an additional 20% gratuity (AND 4% Petaluma living wage initiative) which I know is pretty typical, but something to be aware of. I was charged 20% gratuity + an additional 20% tip because I wasn't paying attention - $83 for 2 drinks, 1 beer, and 1shot. My boyfriend also went to order a shot from the bar in the back for a family member who decided last minute they wanted to try the "naughty shot" but was denied because they don't do walk up service in the back. This is all fine, but apparently there IS a walk up bar in the front of the restaurant, which we noticed on the way out. It's fine that the bar in the back wasn't walk up service but why wouldn't you just apologize to the customer and offer a solution since there was one? Instead, the employee was rude about it. Overall, cute and very festive. I can't say I don't recommend this place, but I probably won't be back for next year's "miracle."

Fun place with large picnic tables as seating, live music, casual dancing (in front of the live band), very dog friendly & family friendly. My friend suggested this place as he had been here previously but it was my first time. We weren't terribly hungry so we shared a Cobb salad with burnt ends & fries. We each had a drink but I forgot to take pictures of it. Service was pretty friendly & helpful. This restaurant is quite busy on weekends so try to be patient.

Came for the Miracle at Brewsters experience. Ordered themed cocktails at the bar by the host stand and quickly got seats for a party of 2 without a reservation. Plenty of heaters to make you regret the heavy sweater without an under shirt. Food is delicious and hits the comfort taste buds. However, the cost really adds up at this establishment. Overall, I feel more festive. Definitely a once a season stop for me. I can see it being a hit for those who want to bring their children somewhere for a Christmas experience or those with bigger families.

Had a fantastic evening! Went during December and totally decked out for Christmas. So pretty and festive. Love the menu, all geared to Christmas, food and drink. It is outside with cover, so dress appropriately. They do have heat lamps but still might be cool. If you take kids they will be happy little ones. They do have a big screen tv with a movie playing as well. We will definitely go again, can't believe we have missed out all these years.

Food was ok, nothing overly exceptional. However, the environment and the service was great! Would like to see some new menu items and maybe a larger selection.

One con... this place is not in Sacramento. I was very impressed with from the reservation to checkout. I recommend making a reservation as they get busy because they are amazing! I love the family style seating it's a great way to get to know your neighbors. We went on Sunday and they had an amazing live band. Our waitress was wonderful! The manager needs to give Taylor a huge high five because she totally killed it! Never missed a beat, great suggestions on drinks and food... she was just all around great. I highly recommended Fresh as A Daisy if you're looking for a fresh drink that's not a beer. This was honestly one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. My husband really enjoyed their rotating Pilsner. For food I had the Cobb with burnt ends I highly recommend you sub the chicken first burnt ends you won't regret it. My husband had the farm burger and he said it was kiss worthy. We will absolutely go back it was delicious! Now how can we convince them to put one in Sacramento close to my house.

If this were a rating on vibes alone it would be higher. Oktoberfest decor was fun and waiters were dressed for the occasion. But the food was just okay, portions were a bit small for the price.

Came here with a group of 7. We ordered several appetizers and my favorite was mac and cheese, pretzel, and fries. I had a veggie burger and it was good, but nothing spectacular. I got the lychee spritz drink and it was a bit watered down. One thing I really like about this place is their christmas decorations are super pretty. In term of service, it took a while for our server to come to us (even though it was not even busy). We each ordered several drinks. When the bill came, we noticed that our server charged us 3 extra beers. We had her fixed it. After we all got home, we tried to do some calculations to see how much we each had to pay our friend who paid. It turned out that the server charged us one extra dish, as well as more beer we never had! We called the manager and she removed the extra for us. So if you come here with a big group, please be extra careful and check the bill to make sure they don't accidentally charge you guys extra stuff! Not really sure what happened but it was not even busy. Our server might just be new. But other than that, it was a good experience.

It's always festive here but I didn't know it's one of the locations for Miracle pop up bar! The Bad Santa and Snowball Old Fashioned are definitely tasty with the holiday cheers! Reservation is easy on Open Table. I couldn't get the time I wanted originally. But I was able to set a standby and got in at last minute! Poutin fries have some brisket meat on top of it which made the fries even better! Fried chicken salad is fresh! I'm not a fan of blue cheese but I'm surprised to find myself enjoying the blue cheese that came with the salad. Fried chicken is crispy and not greasy!! I enjoy the atmosphere, cocktail and food here. Service is fast even when it's super busy. Definitely want to come by more.

Headliner... FOOD 3 out of 5. But.. Ambiance & Beer 5 out of 5! For a combined overall, 4 out of 5. THE GOOD ° The Christmas Bomb EXPLODED in this garten! - It was perfect for my wife's birthday. ° Decent beer selection (although I'd expect more beers on tap at a beer garden...). ° I forgot to take a picture of the Pretzel but it was really good and buttery! - The cheese sauce was terrible and wrong pick for a mustard. ° Restrooms were clean. ° Extremely pet friendly THE BAD ° The food that we had, as is, I wouldn't recommend. - Needed salt and pepper. Lacked any evidence that there was any at all. ° As stated above sauces for the pretzel are just wrong. ° Service was just okay. - No check-in from server after food arrived, had to go ask for salt. THE UGLY ° 20% / 22% / 25% for tip options !PLUS! Living wage tax already included.... Man, y'all smokin something! - Tip culture getting out of control forrrrreal! - who tf pays another 1/4 of their meal? ° Parking was a little hassle, wished there was a better established parking.

We had a great time here. Decided to skip on food and just order drinks. Was really impressed with the selection of spirits offered. All quality producers. The setting was gorgeous. You get to decide if you'd like to sit in the garden or under the canopy. We chose the garden and loved the atmosphere. Our server was Edwardo, he was efficient, friendly and very personable. Would love to return again to try more menu items. With Gratitude, Vanessa

Such a disappointment. The first round of drinks and food came fast, but then the waitress disappeared and we couldn't get another drink to save our lives. Then they started swiping our food out from under us to clear the table before we were done eating and brought the bill. All of They never asked if we wanted anything else. My husband had to get up and go to the bar to get his own drink and I had to keep fighting them off of our kids drinks that they were still drinking. The owner came over and zero apology just further rudeness.

Amazingly decorated for Christmas! The food was delicious, we had Brussels sprouts, poutine, Mac and cheese, and duck fat fries, all decent portions to share as snacks between a few friends! The drinks were pretty good, the festive mugs and glasses were great! The service was good but we had to wait over 2 hours to get in on a Saturday around 5:45pm.

I'll start with the good: their beer menu is solid. Even though we were told our table was ready, there was a lot of bad communication and we ended at a table that was two people two short of what we needed. Staff worked fast to accommodate but it was a 30-minute debacle. Kids meals are $15 for prefab tenders and soft drinks are $4 with no refills. Food is alright, super smoky with little other flavor but not worth that they're charging. They can definitely do better with some effort. Staff was incredible, decor was as holiday-inspired as can be, but there's better food in Petaluma.

An absolute must stop in Petaluma! I don't know how they do the dry rub carrots but they are one of my favorite dishes ever. I've tried to remake them at home and they pale in comparison to the ones at Brewsters. I've also had their chicken sandwich many times, I'm a fried chicken fanatic and they get top marks in my book for theirs. The ambiance there is always fun, they do festive themes during the holidays, live music, trivia and all sorts of activities throughout the year. They have great cocktails and the service there is always great.
