This place was absolutely Fantastic!
My girlfriend and I were scoping the area for things to do and places to see and we slipped in here for a few drinks.
We were automatically greeted by the older gentleman bartender who seemed to know EVERYTHING about everything. He was from San Francisco originally, and made us feel completely engaged in the small town the bar hosts every night.
The pool was $1.00 a pop and there was even a shaded smoking venue, in case you felt like still enjoying your drink and doing that.
There are so many events here and the people make the place retain a wholesome feel to it.
I actually even came back here after I had horrible service from the Rainbow Cattle Co. from across the street. Paul the bartender felt bad for me and gave me a free shot to commemorate my birthday, turning a disappointing bar experience into an amazing one! He and Kyle were insanely friendly and I will be sure to return when I visit Russian River again.
Great job, you guys! You really know how to take care of your customers! :)
