HopMonk Tavern Sebastopol

I love the wide open patio and fun, interesting environment at Hop Monk.  Nice menu, with some nice additions to the usual tavern menu, like whole artichokes with aioli. Good quality in everything we had. The place is looking a little well-worn and too-much loved since my first visit last year, and the beer menu had some disappointing sell outs, but its popularity is understandable.

Friendly, friendly service, large comfortable space with lots of indoor and outdoor seating (with barbecue pits!), excellent selection of beers.  I still have not eaten here yet, but am told that the fish tacos for $3 at Happy Hour are excellent.  I'll try these soon. They have DJs on Wednesdays and sometimes have live music.

Definitely a great place to grab a beer, and up and coming as far as a music venue. I'd say their abbey is one of the better intimate places in Sonoma County to see a live show or a DJ at this point. The bartenders are attentive.They have a good amount of space for dancing inside, great sound system, an ample amount of hang-out space outside, and a nice chill vibe overall.

The food I would say is adequate, decent- pretty much typical bar food with a Sonoma County flair. Probably better after a few brews.

I would love to give a fifth star, but I would really like to see Hopmonk take it up a notch with the current music/performer selections. We need a wider variety! There is so much good stuff here- and coming through here- that there is really no excuse to have such a repetitious music calendar!
